Nice big old rock made of fat, oil, wet wipes and “other” material that accumulates and blocks sewerage systems.

So it's like those fatty things that clogs your blood veins for eating too much McDonald's, but with sewer?

Just a reminder not to flush "flushable" wet wipes, folks! They're bad for our sewer systems and the flushable label is a lie :-/

If I'm on holiday at a country that may go to war with my country, can I fuck up the infrastructure "on accident"? Asking for a tourist.

Not quite, this is mostly made of all the stuff that gets flushed but doesn’t flow. Builds up an causes issues in sewage systems.

Flushing wet wipes, sanitary pads and dumping cooking oils and grease down the drain is the main causes.
