Just close it entirely before you flush, people. The fact that there's a debate between fully open and half-open when both are inferior is baffling.
Counter point: I know plenty of people who close the lid and then flush, then leave. So when you open the toilet you're greeted by a floater or shit streaks over the bowl.
I flush with it open, check if it's clean (otherwise use the brush and flush again) then leave.
If you want to close the lid you'd have to close it, flush, open it and check, clean, close it again. Are you doing that?
You should never flush with it open as the other commenter wrote. Flush closed, then check after ~30sec again if there is a floater or stains. I have a friend I needed to explain that if he flushed open with his toothbrush in the vicinity, he could just go and put the toothbrush in the toilet bowl, not much of a difference.
That was tested with Mythbusters. When your toothbrush is nearby there was hardly a difference if you flush open or closed, sorry :)
No, they didn't test open VS closed.
It doesn't matter. You do whichever placebos you into feeling like it's better so you aren't stressed about all the shit particles you're breathing and scrubbing on your teeth.

Ah, it had no lid, and unfortunately that part of the end-scene is cut off on YouTube. It was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb-_KRh8asM
The control toothbrushes outside the bathroom had the same amount of fecal coliformes on them. That stuff is everywhere, it doesn't matter if you flush lid open or closed.
Damn that's new for me. Glad I have them in the cabinet anyway but this sucks
