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

My wife does this all the time, and if I don't check before I spritz I get an unexpected ball splash.

NSFW for potential topic sensitivity I guess.

Leaving the toilet seat up is moot because the lid should be closed when flushing

I thought the results of later tests was that it doesn't actually make a difference, fecal and urine particles are found on all near surfaces either way?

If you’re referring to the Mythbusters attempt, I think all they proved was that fecal bacteria was everywhere. That’s not the same as saying spewing forth another cloud doesn’t make a difference

It should be up when flushing so you know if it clogs

I’ve always heard a distinctly gurgle sound when it goes down. It’s very easy to listen for. …. Although my teens can never seem to figure it out

Close to flush, check if you need to clean anything or if there's any other issue, close lid again. That's what I do.
