That when cooking anything with leftover grease you should always dispose of the excess grease in an empty container and trash it instead of putting it down a drain.
Also that it’s best for your pipes to put your used toilet paper in a trash can instead of flushing it.

This will likely vary greatly by country, but here in the UK some supermarkets have a section in their recycling centre where used grease and cooking oil can be deposited to be recycled into fuel of some sort.
That bit about the toilet paper isn’t true unless you have roots growing through your sewer line. A bit of copper sulfate down the drain will take care of that, though.
Most toilet papers are fine, although some systems struggle with Costco’s stuff. Toilet paper is designed to break apart in water. That said, you shouldn’t flush any other products. Paper towels don’t break down the same way, and wipes will almost certainly cause damage, even if they are marketed as flushable!!
There’s nothing wrong with putting toilet paper down your pipes… Please do, having used toilet paper in a bin is nasty and possibly harmful to garbage company employees.
“Flushable wipes” you probably just shouldn’t use, but if you do use them those are not truly flushable and those unfortunately you do need to put in a bin. They can cause problems for your plumbing, particularly in an older house.

Yeah, I got that as well. It’s called ‘pour it into the campfire and admire the fireball’.
In my city, in the US, they say to pour it in an old jar and then trash it.

*Unless your landlord raises your rent 20%
That’s fair.
