Counterpoint, if you leave the lid open, you're flinging shit particles all over the bathroom, potentially onto toothbrushes.
Realistically they are going to get everywhere anyway, but I still close it in a harm reduction effort.
I'm going to continue to pretend it works lol.
So answer the question above, do you then lift the lid to check if it worked? Or do you believe your shit is magic, and makes all toilets work perfectly?
I shit in the same toilets with enough consistency to know they do the trick without further investigation.
Sounds like that horror story about the wife seeing the dude wipe once and be done with it saying that he's never had to wipe more. She requested he do it again and he came back with another huge ass streak.
Homie, we all leave some gross shit now and then but dude above preaches when you have people in your house who dump floaters and streakers constantly. Nothing worse than opening the bathroom door to know you'll be greeted with a gross ass half dissolved usually green tinted floater with half the bowl streaked and everyone acting like it wasn't them. Meanwhile you end up having to try to piss blast it for a week but it's so caked on by that point you actually have to take the extra 30 seconds to use the toilet brush...
Lolol I also own a bidet, regularly clean, and apparently eat more fiber than some of y'all. 😂
No doubt I'll have some worse than others, but I assure you I'm not coming back to no bio hazards after one flush.
That was tested with Mythbusters. When your toothbrush is nearby there was hardly a difference if you flush open or closed, sorry :)
Source?
I'm pretty sure you're misremembering that episode. It didn't involve lid closed vs open.
Ah, it had no lid, and unfortunately that part of the end-scene is cut off on YouTube. It was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb-_KRh8asM
The control toothbrushes outside the bathroom had the same amount of fecal coliformes on them. That stuff is everywhere, it doesn't matter if you flush lid open or closed.
Again, source?
We've established that you misremembered the lid test already, so I don't see why we should trust your memory on this.
I'm particularly skeptical of this assertion:
I'm well aware there are some fecal particles all over the place. But common sense says that aersolaized, shit-filled toilet water (which the video confirms it does spray out droplets into the immediate area) would accumulate more on toothbrushes sitting closer to the toilet than in another room.
Edit: also, were they testing by flushing just normal toilet water? Or flushing after a shit?
Because if it was just toilet water, then the test isn't even relevant to the discussion.

I'd surely hope those tests were done with actually in-use toilets, lol. The toilet seat would be sprayed with the lid down, so it's a good indicator?
And here is the toothbrush one https://mythresults.com/episode12 (on the bottom). Maybe you can find the full TV episode, right now I can't.
Either way, as long as you don't have a vacuum toilet that sucks everything down you won't escape. I just rinse my toothbrush with water every time before I use it, which seems to be good enough so far.
Again, they weren't flushing fresh bowls of shit, just standard toilet water.
You're absolutely spraying shit all over your toothbrush for no good reason, and that's disgusting. Sorry :)
I could have sworn they tested both. I remember them concluding that lid position didn’t matter.
The toilet in the episode doesn't even have a lid.

If you smell a fart you are breathing in shit particles. It doesn’t matter unless someone in your household is severely ill.
Neat, thanks for sharing that you don't care how much shit you ingest. I'll reduce my intake where I can, thanks.
Okay germaphobe
They said, with a literal shit-eating grin.
