Lol I’m on a plane as we speak and my 7 year old didn’t want to flush the toilet cause he was suspicious of where it went.

Good on him thinking of others and not wanting to drop his turd on their heads from 35,000 feet!

When I was a kid I used to unlock and open the door so that I could leg it down the aisle as soon as I hit the flush button because I was scared of getting sucked down the toilet

could also be those "landing system" or "data aquisition" antennas.
The longer the antenna, the lower the frequency.... so must have high frequency which means low range. Therefore something which has to do with stuff around airport.

Those are drain masts for the apu or the compartment, like engine drain masts they are just bare metal.
The antennas you are looking for are in the front of the aircraft.

i know, u/MisterJSP never seen them in the back. Think youre right... not sure tho

Those are called Sharklets and they help improve fuel efficiency by reducing drag on the Airbus A321-251NX. Hope this helps!

Cheese slicers.

My guess would be either antennas or vortex generators.
