Reply to comment by JaDodger in Is my power shower positioned too low on the wall? by sudzikle
most houses have many feet of pipe moving that water to the hose, and an extra 2 won't make any difference, but early failure of the hose connection due to stress will cause a problem.
Having been blessed with only a short straw I have never heard of your complaint before.

Yeah that makes sense. I’ve never had an issue with straws before I just remember seeing a physics video about it (probably veritsaium) and was just curious

The issue isn’t the length of the straw, that friction is negligible (unless the straw was extremely thin). The issue with a longer straw is the difference in elevation at the point of suction compared to the elevation of the liquid. If you have a silly straw you need much less (negative) pressure than if that same straw was straightened out.
