poop gems

The fecal mist lingering around is real. That's why one should always flush with a closed lid.

    You ever seen an airtight toilet lid? That ain't doing shit against aerosolized fecal particulates. Don't worry though, no one's gets sick just breathing the air in a bathroom, most public toilets in America don't even have lids. If "fecal mist" was an actual health risk, the science would be well in by now, the patterns would be unavoidable and ubiquitous. Maybe if you lick the walls where the bathroom air condensates you might get sick, but most people are reasonable enough not to do that just by instinct.
