Mythbusters found it makes virtually no difference, and lid down can actually make particles go further due to the pressure forcing them through a smaller gap.
Yes, I followed the ones posted. None of them say the opposite, they all leave out the results from the lidded flushes. And someone else posted a paper that showed that although lid closed produced fewer particles, they were larger, and lasted longer, so flushing lid closed was not particularly more hygienic.
I’m not sure how this qualifies as being any better, I read this one previously and found it to be lacking in actual data information. It makes claims but literally anyone can write whatever they want on the Internet. It’s not enough data and not clear on how they actually measured or how many measurements they took
If you don’t shut the lid before you flush it sends poopoo peee particles flying around the bathroom onto your toothbrush

This is terrible news
Please look this up for yourself- these responses are sus
Every source I could find says that closing the lid is better.
What episode was this? I can only find evidence of the opposite of what you’re claiming here
The plumbing authority link? Yeah, they leave out the part where the Mythbusters found poop everywhere when flushing with the lid closed as well.
Uh no, like literally any link 🤣

That’s not a research article, it’s an opinion piece with no published data and no references.
here’s a real research article that found lidded flushing still produced large aerosolized droplets on flushing:

This is legit the reason I started putting the lid down as a kid lmao
