Counterpoint, if you leave the lid open, you're flinging shit particles all over the bathroom, potentially onto toothbrushes.
That was tested with Mythbusters. When your toothbrush is nearby there was hardly a difference if you flush open or closed, sorry :)
Source?
I'm pretty sure you're misremembering that episode. It didn't involve lid closed vs open.
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.
Again, source?
We've established that you misremembered the lid test already, so I don't see why we should trust your memory on this.
I'm particularly skeptical of this assertion:
I'm well aware there are some fecal particles all over the place. But common sense says that aersolaized, shit-filled toilet water (which the video confirms it does spray out droplets into the immediate area) would accumulate more on toothbrushes sitting closer to the toilet than in another room.
Edit: also, were they testing by flushing just normal toilet water? Or flushing after a shit?
Because if it was just toilet water, then the test isn't even relevant to the discussion.

I'd surely hope those tests were done with actually in-use toilets, lol. The toilet seat would be sprayed with the lid down, so it's a good indicator?
And here is the toothbrush one https://mythresults.com/episode12 (on the bottom). Maybe you can find the full TV episode, right now I can't.
Either way, as long as you don't have a vacuum toilet that sucks everything down you won't escape. I just rinse my toothbrush with water every time before I use it, which seems to be good enough so far.
Again, they weren't flushing fresh bowls of shit, just standard toilet water.
You're absolutely spraying shit all over your toothbrush for no good reason, and that's disgusting. Sorry :)
