    yeah i get the picture but the real question is whether this whole topic is even worth discussing or whether the effect size is so small that it practically doesn’t matter.

    i mean, handbags and door knobs are some of the worst offenders to hygiene but you never see people getting all worked up about those topics, even though i suspect they’re much more significant than whether the toilet lid is up or down. that’s why i’m suspecting people are inflating a small issue into a big trouble here.

      I don’t give a flying f about the toilet seat (it’s IMO a child level discussion, do what you like people), but I and my whole family do wash our hands when we come back from the outside. Always.
