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.
But watching with great satisfaction as your turd circles down the toilet is one of life's great joys.
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 🤮
close the lid.
now everybody has to adjust the toilet before using it.
No, close the lid because that's how you avoid coating everything in the room with a film of urine and feces. Open toilets are disgusting.
i mean, that too. that's the excuse i give when people demand to know why I always "fucking" close the "goddamn" lid :3
Me, an alpha male sitting down to pee and closing the lid afterwards: what are you talking about you degenerates
More efficient. Healthier for some.

It doesn't make any difference if you flush with the lid up. Poop particles will still go everywhere, even if the lid is down. There was a study on it that came out earlier this year.
Yep, mathematically people sit more often than stand when using a toilet.
Men, women, and everyone in between and between all sit at some point when using the toilet.
The most efficient thing to do is leave the toilet seat the way it is when you're done. Minimal effort.
The most fair thing to do, oddly, is to leave the seat in the opposite position it was when you got there; everybody flips it once, it may be before or after you use it. Fair.
It's unsanitary to flush with the lid up.
I'm in this camp though, so it's always left down.
If you aren't putting not just the seat but also the lid down, you're just spraying your house with piss and shit particles.
Close the lid before flushing, you uncouth animals
And what if I want poop particles around my house huh? When was the last time you asked me
Fair point. Hey !PatFussy, do you want disgusting shit particles flying all over your house?
I do thanks. I like to keep a nice gloss of poo coating every inch of my bathroom. Is this not normal?
But wait tho, does that mean some people never flush while they’re on the toilet? Like they keep sitting there in the poo smell? Unless you’re passing deer pellets and their presence underneath doesn’t begin to haunt your soul, you need to flush while you’re sitting there and not quite done.
How much time are you spending on the toilet that it becomes a problem?
Well yes but presumably your own ass is doing the job of blocking shit-spray in those scenarios
We both put the lid down after we're done
i sit down because I'm an adult and clean my own toilet. Standing is gross.
Yeah it's way more work to have to clean up unless you don't mind your bathroom smelling of piss.
For anyone that thinks about shit plumes: Iirc last time I heard it mentioned and looked at the study, it was based on public restrooms with high pressure flushing mechanisms, not the slow flush tank dump I think most people have at home. If it sounds loud and splashy, maybe a shit plume, if it's a sploosh swirl blub blub, prolly not a shit plume. Pouring water on shit doesn't really aerosolize it, power washing it does.
My wife does this, no lie. Took me awhile to figure out why the lid was always up after she moved in.
You made a good choice
Close the fucking toilet you heathens. All of you.
I think women should start pissing standing so my fellow fragile penis owner, who think standing while pissing is the only option, learn how filthy a toilet gets if you don't put your parts in the bowl.
i've never understood this tbh.
Just check it before you use it, and adjust it if needed, unless you're hyper conscious of the particulates that tend to result from flushing, in which case fuck it, close it everytime.
close it everytime.
I belive that is what your supposed to do, and the main reason why there is a lid.
Only other potential reason I can think of is oder, but if your toilet smells that bad you ain't flushing and cleaning it enough.
That's what we do at my house, close all lids.
#1 step is to get a slow closing lid and seat. That will solve all arguments
it's the middle of the night and the house is silent. You finish your business and in your sleepiness know that you have to put the seat and lid down because you don't want all that bacteria on your toothbrush, your towel, your clothes. So you turn around grab the lid and
#SLAM
you whisper "fuck"
your baby is crying and your wife is awake. You're not going back to sleep
I've started reflexively putting the seat and lid down because otherwise my toddler will put whatever he can in the toilet.
Close the lid so the cat doesn't drink/fall in?
If it's a problem from there, it's not a battle of "who needs the seat in what configuration," it's a battle of "who deserves to touch the icky parts and who deserves the icky parts touched for them" at which point we're through.
It's best to have an agreed default in a household, so there's no surprises during a half awake trip or an emergency. Lid down is the best hygienically, but seat down is better than all up as it's a shared need for everyone sometimes.
Women who do lid up for the men have done that out of a history of men in their lives thinking their aim is perfect.
I used to have to tell my female friend to put the lid down when she stayed over. My cat loves drinking from the toilet so if the lids up when I open the door and I don't catch him in time he'll just dunk his head in it.
You should really put it down when you flush too which minimises the amount of fecal or urine particles that get into the air.
