    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

    The lid always goes down when not in use at my house.

    “It’s a shit receptacle, not a water feature” has been repeated to anyone who doesn’t know the rule.

      I’ve had my neighbor get their sewer line worked on that somehow resulted in making my toilets explode with sewer gas and shit particles.

      The lid stays down.

    That’s precisely how the debate between myself any my SO was finally ended. The seat stays down now unless in use.

        My dog drinks just fine from the creek on the farm he ran off to when I was 7.

        The toilet, since the seat doesn’t block animal access.

        I’d be worried about drips from the dog though.

    That’s what we do in our house, I decided it was the easiest way to be sure my son actually lifts the seat. If he has to lift the lid, he’ll just lift the seat at the same time.

    I grew up with a dog. The toilet seat was always kept down to keep him away from drinking it, because we had toilet cleaning pucks in the tank that would have potentially poisoned him. Nothing to do with gender at all.

    Also the mythbusters episode on toilet water splashing out onto bathroom surfaces scarred me as a child. We have a soft-close lid and I wait a few seconds for it to get to a low angle before I even flush.

      The mythbusters episode convinced me. That water flush makes everything spiral upwards, and it lands in your toothbrush.

      People who don’t put the toilet seat down are unaware they’re brushing with shit particles.

        The poo particles fly out of the bowl, into the hallway, curve into the bathroom, and then land on your toothbrush?

        There’s eiher some crazy wind paths in your home, or some idiot put your toilet in the bathroom.

        There are such things in this world as particles.
        Particles so small that you cannot possibly detect it with your naked eyes.
        And I put it to you that there are particles of human shit lingering in the fibers of your underpants.

    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.

    Yeah, I don’t want splash water getting anywhere else than the bowl. Also, what if I accidentally fumble something and drop it in the water. Even if there weren’t a lid, I’d put the seat down in case of a level 10 emergency

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
