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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Some of what you flush is sprayed back up out of the bowl if you don't close the lid. Much like Hawking Radiation.
Closing the lid doesn't help. And in fact all houses are covered in a thin layer of shit particles.
Technically known as sharticles
I get the feeling closing the lid has the same effect as putting your thumb on top of a hose...
Yeah it's microscopic particles so unless your toilet lid is airtight it just pushes them further out the side.
