The rice thing is actually a myth. Silica gel is effective but it should be in a ziploc bag with the silica gel, not in open air, as it’s more effective in an air locked environment.

I used to wash my 12 Pro Max in the sink with antibacterial soap 😂, you will be fine!
I straight up walked into a pool with mine. It’s fine they’ve come a long way since the beginning of smart phones
Don’t do anything special, but don’t charge it for a couple hours.
You’ll be fine.

Lmao I run water over my phone to clean it, idgaf. It’s a 13 pro
Just admit it. You dropped it in the toilet.
I wish that was the case it would have been bad luck but it was just my own stupidity. We keep the dog's water bowl under the light switch in the kitchen. I had my hands full and tried to press the switch without looking and ended up dropping the phone. For the life of me, I can't understand what compelled my family and me to keep the dog bowl under the switch.
The iPhone 12 is originally rated for a maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes. Even if the seals/gaskets of ports and switches deteriorate over time, a few seconds in a dog bowl should not be an issue. Just dry it off and shake the water out of the lightning port before recharging.
