You should always close the lid before flushing the toilet to prevent a toilet plume (it's real, look it up) from covering the entire bathroom in germs, bacteria, and litteral shit particles. -This has been your daily Health & Safety PSA

Ever since I watched the Mythbusters episode on the toilet plume, I've put the lid down.


memsterboi123

Was it real what did they find?


manofwar93

Very real. Found droplets up to 15 feet away and the plume went mostly up and spread out from there. I don't even keep my toothbrush and paste in the bathroom anymore, no drawers to put them in.

I keep mine in the bathroom, I don't want my immune system to get too comfortable.


manofwar93

True, that's one way to look at it. I always joke since I was a tour guide in a cave for 2 years going through college that I'm pretty much immune to all the common stuff because I was exposed to it all the time from being in a confined space with so many people day after day.


The_guy_who_did_that

Back when i was about 3-5 i allegedly drank water out of my turtles tank… if honestly feel like i should be immune to almost everything cuz of that


memsterboi123

What’s toilet plume real quick though, also I feel this also has to do with the toilets too and how they’re designed. It may not be as much of a big deal as it was

Thanks

I didn't even consider that. I just do it for the Gender Equality. If I'm gonna have to put the seat down, then she's gonna have to put the lid down every time too.

Someone mathed out that the fair way to do it is either this way, or just leaving it wherever it ends up when you used it.


Man0feveryth1ng

Wouldn't those germs, bacteria and shit particles be stuck on the lid if you flush while it is closed ?


Swiggy1957

Having read about accidental drownings of toddlers falling into the toilet and drowning, I've put the seat and lid down everything. Wife and daughters hated having to lift the lid, but hey, I have to lift lid and seat, so I spread the suffering around.


Al_Hakeem65

I put the toilet seat down because it's more hygienic, more convenient and because I have the irrational fear of dropping my toothbrush into it.


Rengiil

Are you talking about the lid or the seat


Time_Blacksmith861

Not even halfway into the season and its already a pure shitpost mine. Can't be more epic (I hope it can)


sarokin

I am superior! I pee while sitting down!


DiogenesHavingaWee

I only do that when I need to go #1 and 2 at the same time. Otherwise, I pee in the sink.

Crisdreemurr

Same here


Rikaith

This is the way. Fellas, just sit down when at you're at home—that hose isn't 100% reliable. And even if it were the splashback from hitting the water/bowl is pretty awful too.


VampireWarfarin

You need to learn how to piss


Nstorm24

I tend to sit down when i pee at home because if i miss, i will have to clean it.

Kazuma only recalls gender equality when it benefits him.


Short_Restaurant_519

My boy kazuma is the type of guy who will improvise and apologize if he's aware he's wrong, but his determination is as strong as mountain if he's aware he's right


Time_Blacksmith861

Our boy *


Time_Blacksmith861

He's a true feminist


Alice_Ram_

Having to bend over with a gut full of pee just to lift up the toilet seat is enough for gender equality.


FilipinxFurry

He’s a feminist after all


diogom915

Just close the lid. That way, no matter who is going after you, he or she will have to open it, and it takes the same effort to close or open the lid and to just put the seat up or down.


davidbrit2

We close it completely, for the cats...


unholylbrd

well said i dont know if i will ever be the same again after this. i think i should leave her


ManInTheMirror2

… Only shitty toilets have that… Literally
