MODERATORS
I always flush with the lid down. Keeps less in the air.
Quit ya bitching and roll the math.
Some stand to pee. Some sit to pee. everyone sits to shit. In a mixed gender household the seat gets most use down.
Not at all what the meme is talking about
The meme is making it look like seat down is presumptuous, which it is not. It has the least effort vs hygiene trade-off, since sitting to pee is much more hygienic.
The point the meme is making is that the lid should be closed. It equally derides both seat up and seat down
PSA: For maximum hygiene, close the lid BEFORE you flush.
Mythbusters found it makes no difference in the spread of fecal matter. Toilet lids aren't perfect seals.
Do you have a source? I googled it and this site said that Mythbusters found the opposite - https://www.theplumbingauthority.com/blog/2019/february/mythbusters-plumbing-edition/#:~:text=%234%20You%20should%20close%20your%20toilet%20lid%20before%20flushing&text=Mythbusters%20did%20an%20episode%20about,your%20bathroom%2C%20including%20your%20toothbrush.
But then how am I supposed to look at my poop swirling down the drain?

Sits down
Shits on lid

Plus if you drop anything in the bathroom and the lid is up it's ending up in the toilet, learned that one morning when I was about to brush my teeth, that's when I became a dedicated kid closer
