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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Lid down so the flush spray is mostly contained is enough reason, no?

We never have that problem in our household. 🀷

We have a toilet that flushes in the front to the back in a jet, there's never any splash.

Where the falling in problem tends to reoccur, if not prevented.

Flushing a toilet, yes, as far as I'm aware, any toilet, regardless of the design, creates an aerosolized mist containing small particles of fecal matter. So, every time you flush a toilet with the lid open, you are covering your bathroom and everything in it in a microscopic layer of shit... enjoy brushing your teeth later.

Actually our bathroom sink is outside of the bathroom toilet, with a door seperating them. 🀷

It's less about the splash and more about the microscopic sprays of faecal bacteria. You don't want that E. Coli on your toothbrush.
