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 :)

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:

the same amount

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.

They said, with a literal shit-eating grin.

Neat, thanks for sharing that you don’t care how much shit you ingest. I’ll reduce my intake where I can, thanks.

The toilet in the episode doesn’t even have a lid.

I’m pretty sure you’re misremembering that episode. It didn’t involve lid closed vs open.

Counterpoint, if you leave the lid open, you’re flinging shit particles all over the bathroom, potentially onto toothbrushes.

Why is octopi correct? Based on what?
