Please don't try to flush Portugal.
What about Paraguay?
Ah yes
Pee
Poo
Petunias
Expired milk
Pfeces, purine, and ptoilet ptissue
Purine 
Poo, pee and paper, if you insist.
I thought the third was puke so I guess add that to the list for me.
You've discovered the fourth P!
What about pubes? They do fall in sometimes, you know.
Used to be the fourth p was porn. Now it's phone.
We used to be a country.
I'm sure there's someone out there who needs to be explicitly told that this is toilet paper, not printer paper or newspaper or graphing paper or any other kind. Just toilet paper.
And not any kind of wet wipes either. So-called "flushable" wipes are false advertising, do NOT flush them. They WILL clog the pipes.
I'm probably preaching to the choir, but there's a chance someone learns this for the first time from this comment.

Don't forget about boogers and cum.
I was confused what the three p's were. You say pee, poop, and (toilet) paper.
I think it needs also puke and blood. Does blood have a word that works in that? Cause I add blood every single month and I'm not going to start dumping that anywhere but the toilet lol
"Period" works
Oh no no, it's not my blood!
You should be donating that blood so others can benefit.
I've tried, but they ask all sorts of inappropriate questions like "whose blood is this" or "why do you have so many gallon zipper bags of blood"
Tell them you have hippo rights and it's none of their business
EXACTLY! It's just easier this way.
Woohoo sacrifice! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
My hopes and dreams…
Absolutely not. I have a septic system and my hopes and dreams would plug up the drainage field. That's a very expensive repair.
People do this all the time, all across the planet. People are just stupid. My brother works in sewage waste management in Norway, and it's a clusterfuck of literally anything you can think of.
His most surreal find was a ripped up wedding dress.
I haven't seen bugs mentioned.
If there's a creepy crawly that is better off dead (ie invasive species), then that thing is being grabbed with a wad of tissue and thrown in the toilet.
I do this with ticks so they don't go latch onto someone else in the house. Or me.
I'd be so irrationally worried that some super-tick would survive the flush and crawl back up the pipe for a revenge bite to the ass or balls.
Fuck, I'm glad I don't live where ticks are a problem.
The "Super Ticks" have to do battle with the chickens.
Anyone with body hair is going to lose a handful down there every year. This is not to say that you should deliberately throw full mats of hair (or beard) trimmings down there, but the system has to be able to cope with the occasional H along with the Ps. And so stray hairs I see on the floor or my clothing when I'm in there for a while might find their way into the pot.
My biggest recurrent crime is probably nail trimmings.
ETA: Vomit. Not a regular occurrence, for which both my plumbing and myself are thankful.

Yes, I throw in other things besides pee, poop, and Pepsi: Toilet paper
/s
not intentionally. I live in a complex though and they always mention finding things. I do wonder though since we have around 100 units there are bound to be things that get dropped in over the course of a year.
Sometimes, a little bit of beard hair.
To the spirit of your question, no.
But to be pedantic, yes. Sometimes I pick up a random small piece of filth off the floor or whatever and the toilet is just right there. And when I mop my floor (once every 1000 years or so), you bet I pour the bucket of dirty water down the toilet, and that's not technically one of the 3 P's.
And very rarely, I have a strand of hair that fell from my head (I have long hair) and I just can't be bothered to fight with the physics of making it fit into the trash bin, so I drop it into the toilet and leave it there until the next flush. It's probably bad, but it's a very rare occurrence.
Yes, it's bad, and it doesn't matter if it's a rare occurence. Really, how many hairs will build up in your toilets drain after a thousand years of "rare" occurences? It'll build up, and my guess is you'd have to clear that out every two thousand years. It would honestly be such a pain... just throw it in the trash yo.
