PSA: For maximum hygiene, close the lid BEFORE you flush.
But then how am I supposed to look at my poop swirling down the drain?
Plus, it’s more mysterious and potentially surprising.
Well now I’m going to expect something surprising
Then it’s just gross any way you’d flip the lid.
I close the lid because otherwise my cat will drink out of the toilet
Just automate it and get a Japanese Bidet that opens and closes automatically. Problem solved.

Seat AND lid go down, always, no exceptions. Other than having a fundamental redesign of the entire structure, this is the only correct solution.
I’ve always thought that toilets should be more like shower stalls.
care to elaborate?
Nah
'aight then.
Only at 25 I have learned I am supposed to close the lid, no one ever said anything about that before in my life. Now I am always doing it.
Yes I always leave it closed if it has a tank
This is how I needed this dilemma explained to me.
Get one of those non-slamming lids and it’s too easy to knock if down while flushing. It’s half closed as you leave the room.
Only downside is when you’re at a friend’s place and realize too late that they don’t have such an awesome amenity. You end up being the toilet slamming asshole, yet again.
I’m feeling déjà vu reading this comment
I immediately imagined it being a heavy seat that gets slammed too XD
Not humour, just facts.
You also are allowed to flush when you put the toilet seat down, as is evidenced in the diagram.
Real pros streamline and take off the seat and lid altogether.
What if you need to sit? I’m gonna guess this is a joke
Free kegels!!

Especially common for public bathrooms in Asia and parts of Europe, specifically because there is no direct skin contact which reduces risk of infection. There are also claims that you poop easier squatting than sitting.
on your personal toilet that(is) the only way
I truly don’t understand how this is a thing at all… Takes less than a second to open the lid, why would you not close it by default?
Chair height, elongated bowl for the win.
