Smarter Every Day & Veritasium made synchronized Youtube videos for a side-by-side comparison of this effect in their respective hemispheres.

THIS LINK will set up the two videos on a desktop. Each video is given separately below.

This is bordering on fraud. Look closely, the dye patters in the "southern" toilet are an exact mirror image of the "northern" toilet. Cute. Besides, toilets are specifically designed to force water in a swirling motion, overpowering any Coriolis force, which is a rather weak force.

This is really nothing more than a weak joke.

The videos agree with you on that point.

They give their latitudes at the beginning of the video and they are both in the 30-somethings north & south. Both of these guys are known for their integrity. The graphics against the globe are not photos, so they will resemble each other.

I must offer an apology. I based my opinion on the photos of the toilets with dye. The actual videos show something totally different than what was implied, and the science depicted is accurate. Again, I apologize to these two demonstrators.
