      Ran into someone recently who was confused by people putting the seat down. Here’s my pitch.

      Whenever you smell poop, it’s because tiny particles of poop are going into your nose. The stronger the smell, the more particles are in the air. If you’re someone who leaves the seat up, pay attention next time you shit and flush. The smell gets stronger. If you put the lid down, the smell gets weaker. Less poop in your face? Sounds like a no-brainer

        Not entirely true, some compounds produce gasses, and poop is one of them - esp as the bacteria in it keep eating it they'll keep farting. That said there's def aerosolized poop flecks thrown all over your bathroom when you flush without the lid down
