Let's take a look at the next story.

This is also absurd.

The headline reads, "40kg of rice found in an apartment sewage pipe."

A sewage pipe in an apartment building became blocked.

As a result, sewage backed up into lower-floor units, and it turned out that what clogged the pipe was 40kg of rice.

Yesterday, a post was uploaded on social media along with a photo of an apartment notice, asking, "I heard 40kg of rice was found in the sewage pipe, why would anyone do this?"

Let us take a closer look at the notice.

It states that on the 21st, sewage backed up through the toilets of lower-floor units in the apartment, causing filth to spill into the bathrooms of some households.

The apartment management explained that they hired a contractor to clean the pipes, and upon working on them, it was confirmed that a whopping 40kg of rice had blocked the plumbing, causing the sewage to back up into the lower-floor units.

They added that the recovery and cleaning costs for such incidents ultimately lead to a burden on shared management fees, and urged residents to flush only waste and toilet paper down the toilets, while properly disposing of items like rice, wet wipes, and food waste using standard garbage bags.

Netizens reacted with various comments, such as "The rice itself is surprising, but the amount of 40kg is even more shocking," and "Shouldn't they track this down to the end and bill the responsible party for the cleaning costs?"
