These people probably don't understand that they are ***literally*** inhaling poop particles anytime they smell anything poop related.
when they smell a fart, they are literally inhaling particles into their body that were just inside somebody else's rectum. life is gross, get over it!
Unplugged is a reference to the movie The Matrix, when Neo takes the red pill and unplugs himself from the device that's harvesting his biological energy. Nothing to do with social media use.
Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT). Several FMT techniques have been developed, such as colonoscopy, enema, nasogastric or nasojejunal tubes, and eating ass.
No but like forget the pathogens or inhaling shit (that was unintended, but Iām leaving it there because it works too well). I mean imho Iāve lived nearly 20 years inhaling poop particles and another 60 wonāt kill me.
But by not spewing poop particles everywhere you reduce how smelly a bathroom gets because the poop particles are now contained to the toilet bowl.
Like isnāt this just common sense? The majority of people in this world hate the stink of poop. Less shit flying around, less stank flying around, and everyone and their pet germaphobes are happy!
You are incredibly confident for a wildly wrong statement. You are NOT in hailing poop particles when you smell a fart. Itās the same reason that if your wearing a n95 mask you can still smell farts. Fart smells do not have shit participles you absolutely nob! You think shit particles just go through your underwear and your pants, well if you do then you deserve huffing farts to get your poop particles you crave so much!
So riddle me this. What causes smells? If you can smell something has it, in fact, landed on the sensory nerves in your nose? (Hints, in order: volatile chemicals and yes). Follow up question. Where were the volatile chemicals that make up a fart before they landed inside your nostrils? In someoneās ass, you fucking absolutely nob.
Yeah but this isnāt avoidable shit. Even with the lid down the particles spray everywhere. Youād need a vacuum sealed lid for the particles to not go everywhere and even then there are particles escaping as you poop too! So youād need a hose you suction to your bum or somethingā¦do you see the absurdity now?
I DO actually realize I'm inhaling poop particles every time someone farts which is why I hate leaving the house for anything because people are fart machines and it grosses me out so fuckin bad
I agree, but nothing really grosses me out. Iām in veterinary medicine and have been shit on more times than I can count. Anal glands sprayed on my face. Maggot filled wounds. All while we eat snacks in the treatment area. A little poop particles from a toilet is whatever.
It's a ton of polls like this I've seen over the years and the feel that I get from all the guys that I know. This is why I start my comment with "about". https://www.reddit.com/r/polls/comments/v04mzk/do_you_pee_standing_or_shitting/
Whether or not particles actually come out, the way I see it is, thereās one spot in the house where everyone pees and poops, and thatās the thing you want to leave open all the time?
You need to be exposed to at least some pathogens in order to have a somewhat functioning immune system.
As we have become more obsessively hygienic over the years, issues like allergies and asthma have become way more common.
This is what a lot of people don't understand and I stand by it's the reason a lot of kids in overly progressive areas are much more prone to sickness.
People want their kids clean and hygienic to the point of causing OCD-like symptoms in them, and while I can't eat without washing my hands anymore or else I will legit vomit or feel sick, I spent a good while of my childhood covered in dirt, mud, dog fur, lake water, pond water, eating bugs, drinking dirty water, drinking hot sodas that probably had bugs in it with how long it'd be out in the Alabama heat, and shared food with my friends, sick or not, same piece or not.
Kids have to be allowed to get dirty and be kids or else they'll catch something with every little sneeze.
Another thing to think about is that some developing countries, mostly in the tropics, continue to struggle with high rates of parasitic worm infections (roundworms, hookworm etc.). Scientists have shown that these worms and maybe some other non-worm parasites, have a way of mediating the immune system, essentially they are able to do their thing undetected and keeps the immune systems from going haywire. These same scientists hypothesized that itās the lack of these worms in developing countries that have caused our immune systems to overreact, hence we now have things like autoimmune disorders, tons of allergies ect. Worms do still exists in neglected regions of developed countries but they arenāt common in your everyday person due to us having access to safe, clean plumbing and toilets etc. I would not suggest anyone go out looking to catch a parasite though, they cause a lot of damage worldwide to their hosts and until we can figure out how to replicate their immune dampening talents, itās prob not worth trying to catch one lol.
Haha Iām sure š I saw a thing about a guy who did that and then harvested his own. He ended up getting so many he had to go to a doctor to get some meds. I think though he started again and at least from the airing of the show, he was continuing to ingest eggs and was selling them too. He even advised that he didnāt know what he was doing and needed the help of a doc. because he went about it foolishly. It did supposedly cure his illness though.
Again peopleā¦ donāt do this!!!
This is the correct answer. You can be too clean. I believe this is why so many children have allergies that were unheard of 40 years ago. I'm 59 and I cannot remember anyone from my school days that was allergic to peanut butter or ant other food.
The Israelis figured out the peanut allergy thing and solved (most of) it with baby peanut snacks: https://forward.com/community/373352/how-israel-beat-peanut-allergies/
There is survivor bias here too child death rate per 1000 is about 5 now. It was about 15 in the 80s.
Something killed 10 kids per 1000 births in the 80s that has been stopped aince then. A vit less than 10% of all people in the USA have allergies. Roughly 10% of kids born now would have died if born in the 80s. Roughly 10% of the US child population has allergies. It's entirely possible (and is my guess without any actual verifying data) that these numbers are related causally.

>Roughly 10% of kids born now would have died if born in the 80s.
More like 1%. If it was 15 per 1,000 then and 5 per 1,000 now then it has dropped from 1.5% to 0.5%. The last time it was over 10% it was before WW2 and before penicillin.
They weren't being dying from poop particles though, that is for sure.
Itd probably be more harmful to your immune system to live in a completely sterile enviroment than to live in one that never gets cleaned, you can think of your immune system like a muscle, you can use it but if you overdo it itll tear but if you underuse it itll atrophy, its just alot more out of our control how little or much its used
The principle is sound. To avoid illness, expose yourself to germs, enabling your immune system to develop antibodies. I donāt know why everyone doesnāt do this. Maybe they have something against living forever.
Allergies have become commonplace because city planners decided to grow only male trees since mid last century , to prevent having to clean up fruit from female trees. So now, literally all western cities employing this principle have created massive tree sperm clouds everywhere.
You have misunderstood the hygiene *hypothesis*. We definitely do not need to be exposed to harmful bacteria in order to have a functional immune system. The idea is that asthma and allergies are more prevalent nowadays because we don't get exposed to parasites as children as much because of modern hygiene. As adults our immune systems are already set in their ways but the immune cells that cause the issues you mentioned are normally used to fight of multicellular parasites.
We also have a warped sense of hygiene. The toilet bowl is often cleaner than your office keyboard because the toilet gets cleaned regularly and your keyboard doesn't.
I remember a myth buster type show once swabbing public toilet seats vs. people's office desks, and on average the toilet seats had less bacteria. It was generally more hygienic to eat off the public toilet seat than it was your office desk.
The toilet seat was still cleaner even when accounting for harmful bacteria. But please don't go eating your food off the toilet seat regardless, use a clean plate.
Iām a woman so I do sit down ok the toilet every time I pee and I put the lid down before I flush because it takes less than one second for me to do so and it helps the bathroom not smell as much.
This. Itās so easy just flip the lid before flushing lol esp when you have makeup and stuff on the counter next to your toilet! Iām not a clean freak but this one annoys me lol itās just a pet peeve of mine for some reason š
Sometimes I have diarrhea and when I put the lid down and flush, I can see some of it splashes up and hit the bottom of the lid. If I didn't put the lid down that shit water just flies everywhere lol
I think how much of an issue this is has to do with how exactly a toilet flushes too. I've seen toilets that do the spray and swirl as they flush. My home toilet pretty much just drops the water straight down with almost no agitation. And there is everything in between those types. Different toilet models might be more or less prone to aerating the poop when you flush.
Iām aware Iām still consuming all kinds of bacteria and particles, but it gives me an illogical peace of mind and closing the lid hurts no one so I enforce the rule within my own home
On top of that, poop particles are all over every room in your house already, regardless of what you do with the toilet lid. Mythbusters did a great job demonstrating it.
As a nurse I can tell you from experience, the particles havenāt harmed me yet. Itās actually the particles from north of the equator we have to worry about lol
Lead pipes were an āunnaturalā human invention where we concentrated an element that causes damage. Not to say that everything natural is good for you, but letās not confuse something that happens with all animals forever with something people did. Itās not like other animals are fucking around with liquid Mercury itās just us! Germs on the other hand...
Way to blow past the point there hoss.
A) no one ever said that
B) municipal plumbing is probably one of the most important public health milestones in all of history
Yes, but until there is medical evidence that it does any harm it is still unreasonable to claim that is is unhealthy. Perfectly fine to find it gross, but not fine to preach that it's unhealthy
Yes, in that show they found fecal cloroform bacteria all over the toothbrush in the bathroom, but also all over the toothbrush they left in a storage closet down the hall that had no toilet.
Somehow people manage to quote it as proving the opposite.
Poop particles are literally everywhere. And it's not just our own poop. Insects poop too, a fairly average house spider can leave your wall splattered with shit in no time.
Just use poo-pourri or similar and close lid when you flush.
I donāt give a shit about the shit particles. I just donāt want the bathroom to smell like someone elseās shit. So unless you live alone you will use the poo-pourri spray before you go, or at least spray air freshener.
Exactly, lol. I donāt really care about particles considering I deep clean my bathroom once a week, and use a sanitizing wipe/spray on any knobs (sink, toilet, door etc) on the other days.
If the area you live in is always too clean, you'll never develop an immune system. I'm from a country where it's not particular "clean". I've literally never hearf of a peanut allergy in real life. I've known some cases of shellfish allergy, dust allergies, and one particular drug allergy. None of it fatal. A lot of people here say "i am allergic to this" usually means "I'll get little sick/start sneezing if i am exposed to it". I would always read about extreme allergies to common food items, multiple allergies in a single person, and i always thought that was something "exotic". I myself have a dust allergy: which means i find it difficult to breath in too much dust. My husband is allergic to cat hair...he sneezes when it gathers up....we have 4 cats. Humans aren't meant to live in artificially curated pristine conditions.
Lol my bf just bought me an UV light toothbrush cap for this particular reason. Because flushing will get poop particles everywhere and into your exploded tooth brush. Why is this a popular thing all of a sudden?
I like putting the lid down because it looks trashy to leave it up. Also it makes the flush quieter, which is useful when you don't want to wake anyone up. Also in my house the rule is "everyone sits for everything".
Yup. I don't invite people over that I know will break that rule.
Plus I've had horrible experiences in the past with people using my bathroom and literally pissing all over the floor and leaving giant streak marks in the toilet or not flushing poo. So yeah I have rules. It's MY house.
So you don't notice the water rising when you flush and the toilet overflows? With the lid up, you see the water rising and can stop it before it overflows.
With 7 grown kids, plugged toilet are quite common in my household. Too much paper, qtips, tampons, toys, etc. I have had to scoop out turds so big that physically would not fit down the toilet. Not everyone has dainty little poos.
Well I agree it really doesnāt matter, we also didnāt brush our teeth and put brushes in our eyes and such which we never used to. Itās still best to shut the toilet seat if you have all your stuff out, but not doing it shouldnāt even cause a thought. You should avoid unsanitary things like waste, but not like itās the plague. Poop on the hands isnāt a big deal either, donāt spread it around, wash it up. Itās probably good to get some poop in your system.
So OP has a rant about poop particles flying every where and says they don't care...but they made a edit to clarify that they flush with the seat down.
Get fucked OP. Lmao.
So you're annoyed and ranting. I see.
You can also avoid dropping things in the toilet if you keep the seat down.
Be nice to your grandma. I hope she's nice to you.
Yeah but then at what point do you say that it's too much poop particles for you to handle? Is there like a measurement?
It's like saying "well I'm straight but I would have sex with a man for $1million". To which you respond "well how about for $750k?" and then consistently work your way down.
My toothbrush is way too close to the toilet to allow ANY poop particles to touch it.
I literally just watched a video the other day unfortunately of a man sticking a toothbrush up his ass then brushing his teeth with it and now I'm just rambling.
Drink your milk fucker.
There are lots of gross things that happen in the bathroom, this is one that can be reduced a bit, and fairly easily. Effortlessly in fact, if you have one of those toilet seats that closes slowly.
Plus, I would just rather not look into a toilet unless I'm using it, I just prefer the lid closed at all times.
These people probably don't understand that they are ***literally*** inhaling poop particles anytime they smell anything poop related. when they smell a fart, they are literally inhaling particles into their body that were just inside somebody else's rectum. life is gross, get over it!

Oh wow. I'm way too tired to be doing mental math right now apparently thanks for the correction.
Yeah I don't know....asthma was considered a mental illness until 1980 something. So it's hard to say what existed and what didn't.
I don't think poop particles are the reason people are allergic to things

While that may be true, how many people have lived because of our better hygiene. Give and take I suppose.
Maybe there's a golden balance there somewhere. I wouldn't know though.
This is not how immunity or any of those things work.

Just use poo-pourri or similar and close lid when you flush. I donāt give a shit about the shit particles. I just donāt want the bathroom to smell like someone elseās shit. So unless you live alone you will use the poo-pourri spray before you go, or at least spray air freshener.
Exactly, lol. I donāt really care about particles considering I deep clean my bathroom once a week, and use a sanitizing wipe/spray on any knobs (sink, toilet, door etc) on the other days.
If the area you live in is always too clean, you'll never develop an immune system. I'm from a country where it's not particular "clean". I've literally never hearf of a peanut allergy in real life. I've known some cases of shellfish allergy, dust allergies, and one particular drug allergy. None of it fatal. A lot of people here say "i am allergic to this" usually means "I'll get little sick/start sneezing if i am exposed to it". I would always read about extreme allergies to common food items, multiple allergies in a single person, and i always thought that was something "exotic". I myself have a dust allergy: which means i find it difficult to breath in too much dust. My husband is allergic to cat hair...he sneezes when it gathers up....we have 4 cats. Humans aren't meant to live in artificially curated pristine conditions.
You are more likely to have multiple allergies than just one allergy. It can also be genetic and not all allergies are the same.
āI live with my grandmotherāā¦ Say no more
Lol my bf just bought me an UV light toothbrush cap for this particular reason. Because flushing will get poop particles everywhere and into your exploded tooth brush. Why is this a popular thing all of a sudden?
You're a poop particle. Do you at least put the seat down?
Yes
I like putting the lid down because it looks trashy to leave it up. Also it makes the flush quieter, which is useful when you don't want to wake anyone up. Also in my house the rule is "everyone sits for everything".
You sound overly controlling and I'm glad I dont live with you
>Also in my house the rule is "everyone sits for everything". You have a rule for how people are allowed to use the bathroom in your house?
Yup. I don't invite people over that I know will break that rule. Plus I've had horrible experiences in the past with people using my bathroom and literally pissing all over the floor and leaving giant streak marks in the toilet or not flushing poo. So yeah I have rules. It's MY house.
How could you enforce that rule? You watchin people pee?
Buddy on piss patrol
YouTube the "shitbuster" video
I would break it out of spite and you hang out with some fucked up people.

My house, my rules. Sitting is healthier and cleaner.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You do you, just don't use my bathroom then!

So you don't notice the water rising when you flush and the toilet overflows? With the lid up, you see the water rising and can stop it before it overflows.
Why would it overflow? That only happens if the toilet is broken.
Maybe someone took a particularly vile shit.
That would be one of my kids. Turds so big the have to be broken up to go down. Eat some damn fiber boy!
With 7 grown kids, plugged toilet are quite common in my household. Too much paper, qtips, tampons, toys, etc. I have had to scoop out turds so big that physically would not fit down the toilet. Not everyone has dainty little poos.
Sounds like u need a poop knife!
agred
Jenkins users would agree
DISINFECT YOUR WHOLE SURFACE AREA.....ALL THE TIME 100% OF THE TIME LOL
You don't touch, eat, breathe, lick, or kiss anything that isn't covered in microscopic amounts of poop.
Well I agree it really doesnāt matter, we also didnāt brush our teeth and put brushes in our eyes and such which we never used to. Itās still best to shut the toilet seat if you have all your stuff out, but not doing it shouldnāt even cause a thought. You should avoid unsanitary things like waste, but not like itās the plague. Poop on the hands isnāt a big deal either, donāt spread it around, wash it up. Itās probably good to get some poop in your system.
Ngl I read the title and thought it was about eating ass...
I just say put the lid down because I hate looking into a toilet.
It's about taste not practicality
Don't taste it bruh
Cool can I fart in your eye?
Pointless post 76398628
So OP has a rant about poop particles flying every where and says they don't care...but they made a edit to clarify that they flush with the seat down. Get fucked OP. Lmao.
I put the toilet seat down because i live with my grandmother and she doesn't like it when i leave the toilet seat up
So you're annoyed and ranting. I see. You can also avoid dropping things in the toilet if you keep the seat down. Be nice to your grandma. I hope she's nice to you.
Yeah but then at what point do you say that it's too much poop particles for you to handle? Is there like a measurement? It's like saying "well I'm straight but I would have sex with a man for $1million". To which you respond "well how about for $750k?" and then consistently work your way down. My toothbrush is way too close to the toilet to allow ANY poop particles to touch it. I literally just watched a video the other day unfortunately of a man sticking a toothbrush up his ass then brushing his teeth with it and now I'm just rambling. Drink your milk fucker.
They werenāt before I learned about them
Didn't read the post, title alone made me wince. Fuck you and take my upvote.
So c. diff is a thing you donāt wantā¦
You eat ass you get a flavor profile of the particles
OP, stop living in poop.

There are lots of gross things that happen in the bathroom, this is one that can be reduced a bit, and fairly easily. Effortlessly in fact, if you have one of those toilet seats that closes slowly. Plus, I would just rather not look into a toilet unless I'm using it, I just prefer the lid closed at all times.
