My wife does this all the time, and if I don't check before I spritz I get an unexpected ball splash.

NSFW for potential topic sensitivity I guess.

Leaving the toilet seat up is moot because the lid should be closed when flushing

I thought the results of later tests was that it doesn't actually make a difference, fecal and urine particles are found on all near surfaces either way?

If you’re referring to the Mythbusters attempt, I think all they proved was that fecal bacteria was everywhere. That’s not the same as saying spewing forth another cloud doesn’t make a difference

It should be up when flushing so you know if it clogs

I’ve always heard a distinctly gurgle sound when it goes down. It’s very easy to listen for. …. Although my teens can never seem to figure it out

Close to flush, check if you need to clean anything or if there's any other issue, close lid again. That's what I do.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
