It's actually true. When you leave the toilet lid open and flush, liquid droplets small enough to float in the air are ejected from the bowl. It was years ago but I read a report that found these droplets with fecal matter on toothbrushes and face towels that were in the same bathroom. Not to mention you'd also breathe the droplets in.

For what it's worth, any faces or piss flushed shoots right up. So closing the lid keeps it contained

Which will be shaped like the state of California, probably.

Especially those high pressure commercial toilets...They atomize whatever is in the bowl, and spread it far. But most of them don’t have lids.

I heard some doctor, I think, recently talking about fecal-oral spread of coronavirus. I really didn't know what he meant, but I think there are studies about this. The virus has supposedly been found in the feces of Covid patients. When flushing the toilet, the virus might get into the air around the toilet bowl. I would think that closing the lid of the toilet before flushing could still leave the virus on the inside of the toilet lid. Fuck it. We really just need to move on and live our lives.

You should put the lid down before flushing anyway. Applies to covid, flu, norovirus or anything else that can be spread by your shit.

We had signs up at work about not eating in the bathroom. Your food could be contaminated by toilet bowl emissions. DON'T CHEW WHERE YOU POO!

Shitting, and farting also spread the Wu-Flu according to ‘Studies’.

Yes, like "put your mask on between bites when eating out" in California. "We" have your safety as our number one concern. "COMPLY!"

I've had some bad times on the toilet but I've never seen it float out of the pan in big spikey balls.

You can spew whatever nonsense and make money as long as it spreads fear about the food.

But don't you dare say anything truthful
