God no! lmao that's almost as bad as that podcast guy that admitted he'd catch his own poop and gently drop it in the toilet so it doesn't splash.
You can get plumbing-safe wet wipes (baby wipes, basically). They work perfectly well.
There's no such thing as flushable wet wipes. They might not clog your particular pipes but they do not break down in water. They can't because then they wouldn't be able to be wet. They contribute to massive clogs in the sewer systems that people have to go down and break up honestly it should be illegal to sell them
It shouldn't be illegal to sell wet wipes (I assume you meant the flushable variety), just make it illegal to flush it down
it should probably be illegal to falsely advertise them as "flushable"
