I close it so there is less poop water spraying all over the bathroom.
I literally don’t give a shit about the seat up or down, but close the lid ffs. Stop spray germs all over my toothbrush.
Also, I don’t care what direction the toilet paper goes. I don’t even look at it when I put a new roll in. I’m a free spirit.

If you take the toilet seat up or down debate seriously I can only assume you’re a tulpa conjured from the brain of a hack boomer comedian
I always close the lid when I’m not using my toilet. So do my wife and kid. It’s weird that people leave theirs open.
It could also be solved by everyone putting the seat and lid up, what’s your point?
I think it is solved by having a urinal be standard in a home bathroom. People like having a shower and a separate tub. Same.
How about no toilets? How about no cities?
It is also the best option as it reduces bacterial spreading whipe flushing.
it’s the default solution in my house because of the cats
That’s what I do. It’s gross to keep it up in any orientation of up.
Do your business on the floor next to the toilet, problem solved. No more flipping seats.
Just sit down to pee, losers.
In other words: just pee and crap sitting down
Lid down gang. Stop leaving your toilet seats up.
Flushing with the lid up is gross. I do not want to have poo particles flying around and landing on my toothbrush. But maybe that is just me… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is exactly where I sit on this debate. Flush with the lid down and it’s a non-issue!
sorry to ruin your life but mythbusters tested this and no matter how much protection your toothbrush has there will still be poo particles on it
Fair enough. But if any poo particles are getting on my toothbrush when the lid is down, more will be getting on when the lid is open. Besides, I also keep the toothbrush in a cabinet so double protection.
That was part of the test, there was essentially no difference. The particles that can become airborne are small Enough they floating around everywhere regardless of how they get out. The real problem is how huge the gap is between the seat and rim. Needs a rubber skirt or something
I tracked down the MythBusters in question:

Needs a rubber skirt or something
well, they had some toothbrushes as a control which were not even in the bathroom, and they ended up with similar levels of fecal bacteria, meaning that these things are just everywhere. Only solution is to live in a sterile plastic bubble.
I wonder if a high flow rate hepa filter right above the toilet would help lol
IIRC they even tried putting it in a separate room without a toilet and it still got poop particles on it.
The obvious solution is to move to a country where toilets aren’t put in the bathroom.
Or just crap in next door’s begonias.
Again?
The only problem with this is that if you get an incomplete flush, you’re leaving a big, beefy lurker for the next person to come along. But it’s an acceptable risk.
I just take a quick peek once the flushing is done.
Put seat down, flush, wash hands while it’s flushing, then quickly check (and clean if necessary).
And then wash your hands again right?!
Depends. If I only lift the lid no (since I’m not touching anything dirty), if I clean yes.
If you flush with the lid down, don’t you consider the lid dirty, since it caught all those “poo particles” you are scared of “flying around”?
The dirty part is on the inside. I open the seat by grabbing the outside.
Also, I’m not “scared” of any “poo particles” “flying around”.
for the first time…flushing is not that long of a operation.
