as someone who has clogged toilets many times, how do toilets overflow? that never occurs to me, I just stop flushing it, when it is near overflowing and like I never had issues
It’s a bit of a gamble. Sometimes flushing a second time can add just enough weight (and therefore pressure) to dislodge the clog and fix the problem. I assume that’s what those people are trying to do
It depends on the design of the toilet, and how much water it dumps into the bowl at each flush. Some toilet designs have a tank with a higher capacity than the bowl, so if it gets clogged then it’ll overflow.
Pro tip: know where your toilet’s shutoff valve is, it’s usually on the wall just under the tank. If it looks like the toilet is about to overflow, just turn that valve off and you can avoid the mess.

wait, I think I just realized a thing, on the toilets here I need to hold a button to flush, it stops flushing when it is not being pressed
