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.

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.

I remember reading some years ago on reddit that leaving the lid open (flushing or not) probably contaminates the air.
So now I open the lid and the seat and when Im done I close both of them, ~no matter with who else I'm in the house.
- Men, women, and everyone in between and between all sit at some point when using the toilet.
- It's unsanitary to flush with the lid up.
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.

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.
We both put the lid down after we're done
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
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?
My poos are quite epic
Fair enough lol
For you maybe
Well yes but presumably your own ass is doing the job of blocking shit-spray in those scenarios
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?
Normal is overrated

If you raise or lower the seat to how you need it, before you use the toilet, then you don't have to worry about this issue at all.
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.
Me, an alpha male sitting down to pee and closing the lid afterwards: what are you talking about you degenerates
It's probably an American problem.
Lower the lid before you flush. Aerosolized poop and pee is a thing.
That's what I do
Fuck that I pee through the lid

Yeah but we also use the toilet seat. So for me, that's enough to leave it down.
The difference is that if I forget to put the toilet seat down, she can fall in.
Vs if she forgets to put the seat up, I just pee all over the toilet seat.
I mean, considerate of you and all but maybe this is just my chaos sitzpinkler enby opinion but if you get into the habit of checking the toilet for a second beforehand because you don't expect it to be reset for your specific needs this doesn't happen.
I never expect people to put the seat down for me nor do I expect to put the seat up for them as both require the same amount of effort to rejig the toilet seat and it cannot be counted on who will be using the bathroom next. This feels a little bit "holding the door open for the lady" courtesy. A weird holdover gendered etiquette expectation for folks who stand and pee that just hasn't been re-examined.
I've never understood this... are people just blindly launching their butts at toilets? Are the lights off? Is alcohol involved?
Muscle memory mostly. I've done it a couple of times.
I don't know about you but I look at what I'm about to sit on.
I'm talking maybe 3 times in 30 years here, and it's nothing dramatic, just an 'ah this is colder than a toilet seat should be' before standing up again.
That makes sense. I guess I'm the opposite. I have a habit of scrutinizing every toilet I sit on because I don't trust placing the delicate bits over random holes...
The vast majority of the time it's fine. It's seemingly only happened in the past when there's been a guest over who doesn't put the seat down themselves. When you have a white seat on a white toilet then it can be easy to make bad calls from subconscious glances.
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.
