A toilet bowl is too small to show the Coriolis effect, but a pool
isn't according to Sandlin and Muller.

I just flushed both my toilets. One went clockwise. The other went
counterclockwise. QED.

There are too strong forces, fast current speeds
and random turbulent processes
for Coriolis force to have any effect.

When I was in Ecuador, I did my own test. Quite a bit north of the equator,
I filled a wash basin with water and pulled the plug. The water swirled one
way.

AT the equator, I did the same thing, and the water just drained.

A bit south of the equator, I did the same thing, and there wasn't much of
interest.

Further south of the equator, I did the same thing, and the water swirled
the opposite way.

I eliminated water current, toilet bowl rim jet patterns, etc.

Q.E.D.

Not surprising. Normally, quality home builders will put in a CW
toilet and a CCW toilet because if they were both the same direction
and both got flushed at once, it can damage the connection where the
house sits on the foundation. If you buy a home already built, you
should make sure your toilets are opposite each other, or you should
be careful not to flush both at once.

I have never heard anything like that in all my years (50 of them) of
construction, nor have I heard it from the plumbers to whom I have
talked. If flushing a toilet can damage "connections" we better start
building things a lot better.

It rather looks like you became a joke victim.
Due random turbulent effects, the result of the toilet splash
is random as well.

What may be the issue
is the design of plumbing wrt the capacity.

LOL! Really.

Does the Bounty count?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounty_(1960_ship)

This was lost during Sandy and many died. There is a really well done book detailing the last voyage. People did get caught in rigging.
