I feel like this is @AlexandraErin's "Shirley Principle" at work
"Surely if mixing these two chemicals were so dangerous they just wouldn't be allowed to sell them"
(Even though ammonia and chlorine bleach are two of the simplest chemicals you can buy)https://twitter.com/KillerMartinis/status/1352760643657605122 …

That's why you don't put bleach in toilets for a prank.

I remember peeing in a recently-cleaned toilet once only to hear it start to sizzle and give off whifs of colored gas and I have never flushed a toilet so fast in my entire life

Making "mustard gas" with bleach is a joke from King of the Hill that isn't really accurate ("mustard gas" is a term for a sulfur-containing compound from WWI that was quite a bit more difficult to invent and expensive to make than just mixing bleach with anything)

But, you know, mixing bleach with shit is dangerous enough that it's better to err on the side of exaggerating the threat than downplaying it

And of course, even if you're not mixing anything, using bleach to clean a toilet is still dangerous because there is ammonia [or at least substances that break down to ammonia] in pee.

also don't mix ammonia with iodine, as when it dries it's explosive
