Everyone needs to put the toilet seat down. Flushing with the lid up is committing biological warfare on yourself and everything else in the bathroom.
Thanks for the link!
It did say that it reduces particle spread by 30-60% though, yet with qualifiers too.
My natural intuitive thought is that the lid down surely limits the spreading, i.e. the left side of this picture, especially as compared with the right side:
Also, I want to (half jokingly) complain that they treat the MS2 bacteriophage like one of the bad guys there, as if killing the E. coili wouldn't make it one of our allies in that fight:-). (I say jokingly bc most people reading such an article would know that, but also what they really used it for was a detection vector, probably bc the protein wrapping eases sample collection by reducing degradation.)
Besides, not all seats are the same. The lid on my toilet wraps around the top of the bowl, which seems like it would reduce spread.
It would be neat if someone developed a product where like you could spray a mist into the air, or I guess pour a liquid into the bowl, turn off the lights, flush the toilet and then watch as it glows where all the "stuff" spreads:-). But for now, at least these studies are better than nothing.:-D
I mean you could kinda do that yourself with UV ink and an appropriate flashlight. Put some in the bowl and some in the tank, maybe even different colors to see which portion contributes more.
There you go then, now we can all go nuts, flushing away!:-)
Why don't they make sealing lids?
But watching with great satisfaction as your turd circles down the toilet is one of life's great joys.
I always flush, then put the seat down. I picked it up as a habit when we had a dog that would drink the toilet water
Not only that, peeing sitting down is easier and more relaxing for men.
unless the toilet is too small
I hate when my piece swabs the underside of the toilet seat 🤮
There is no product on the market I could find (with a normal price that isn't some $15,000 super toilet) that will open and close the lid and then flush for you. There are automatic seats, but they are timed such that it's completely unreasonable to stand and wait for them to close before flushing.
Crazy to think they're are no hands free options available.
Agreed. Two words y'all: fecal spray. Enjoy brushing your teeth.
