I close the lid. I don’t want to see, hear, or smell that.

Edit: My heart goes out to everyone who concluded closing the entire lid after flushing meant not flushing.

    I remember reading somewhere that German toilets have a little shelf specifically to inspect your shit for health reasons, so maybe don't visit Germany

    Some old ones do. And yes the smell before you flush is as horrible as you'd expect. The combination of diarrhea and one of those toilets made me almost throw up once.

    There's a lever, usually located on the upper left, that will flush it away

    That leaver causes microscopic bits of poop to be sprayed everywhere unless you close the damn lid

    Not so fun fact: the microscopic bits of poop just spray to different places if you close the lid, but there's just as many.

    Second not so fun fact: mythbusters tested this as well and found that there's microscopic poop bits everywhere anyway, and they will get on everything.

    Fun article, except I think there's a lot of other factors like the type of seat, hi vs low flow, and which surfaces you're talking about.

    If it mitigates getting shit on the sink counter / toothbrushes, but not the floor, that sounds like a win. And yes, always use proper cleaners... what madman cleans a toilet with just water?

    Wow thanks for sharing, I never would've thought! Glad my toilet is in a seperate room from the bathroom (and that that's pretty normal in my country).

    Quick ETA: I just realised this is 'just' about aerosols. So not necessarily true of micro-solids, still important
