But then how am I supposed to look at my poop swirling down the drain?

[–] elvith@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

And how can I stand in front of the toilet and pee into the flushing toilet then?

Plus if you drop anything in the bathroom and the lid is up it's ending up in the toilet, learned that one morning when I was about to brush my teeth, that's when I became a dedicated kid closer

dedicated kid closer

I’m in sales myself and have always admired people that can close with such young markets. Your TEDx “Never Speak First” on power dynamic sales with preverbal toddlers was riveting, what other tricks have you learned to adapt with new generations?

Flushing after closing the lid is actually hygienic.

I always flush with the lid down. Keeps less in the air.

Plus, it’s more mysterious and potentially surprising.

[–] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago

Yeah that coworker who never removes his stains loves to make people focus on it.

If you don't shut the lid before you flush it sends poopoo peee particles flying around the bathroom onto your toothbrush

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Mythbusters found it makes virtually no difference, and lid down can actually make particles go further due to the pressure forcing them through a smaller gap.

What episode was this? I can only find evidence of the opposite of what you're claiming here

Myth Busters are not a solid scientific source. I discussed the issue a bit, linking to some papers in another comment here: https://feddit.de/comment/5298414

This is legit the reason I started putting the lid down as a kid lmao

[–] Caesium@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago

I close the lid because otherwise my cat will drink out of the toilet

[–] rustyriffs@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Seat AND lid go down, always, no exceptions. Other than having a fundamental redesign of the entire structure, this is the only correct solution.

Not humour, just facts.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Only at 25 I have learned I am supposed to close the lid, no one ever said anything about that before in my life. Now I am always doing it.

[–] soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 years ago

That probably means your parents didn't put it down in the house you grew up in. You would have worked out it was always closed every time you walk in.

So you were never going to learn at home, you did well to work that out at 25

[–] kworpy@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

Yes I always leave it closed if it has a tank

[–] June@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

You also are allowed to flush when you put the toilet seat down, as is evidenced in the diagram.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Best reason to close the lid: The things you do in the toilet smell. Lid keeps the smells from spreading.

Plus it hides the nasty stuff you leave behind, when you don't know how to operate a toilet brush.

Real pros streamline and take off the seat and lid altogether.
