But then how am I supposed to look at my poop swirling down the drain?

Plus if you drop anything in the bathroom and the lid is up it's ending up in the toilet, learned that one morning when I was about to brush my teeth, that's when I became a dedicated kid closer

Plus, it’s more mysterious and potentially surprising.
Yeah that coworker who never removes his stains loves to make people focus on it.

If you don't shut the lid before you flush it sends poopoo peee particles flying around the bathroom onto your toothbrush
Mythbusters found it makes virtually no difference, and lid down can actually make particles go further due to the pressure forcing them through a smaller gap.
What episode was this? I can only find evidence of the opposite of what you're claiming here

I close the lid because otherwise my cat will drink out of the toilet
Seat AND lid go down, always, no exceptions. Other than having a fundamental redesign of the entire structure, this is the only correct solution.

I truly don't understand how this is a thing at all... Takes less than a second to open the lid, why would you not close it by default?
Just automate it and get a Japanese Bidet that opens and closes automatically. Problem solved.

Get one of those non-slamming lids and it's too easy to knock if down while flushing. It's half closed as you leave the room.
Only downside is when you're at a friend's place and realize too late that they don't have such an awesome amenity. You end up being the toilet slamming asshole, yet again.

Only at 25 I have learned I am supposed to close the lid, no one ever said anything about that before in my life. Now I am always doing it.
That probably means your parents didn't put it down in the house you grew up in. You would have worked out it was always closed every time you walk in.
So you were never going to learn at home, you did well to work that out at 25
Not humour, just facts.
You also are allowed to flush when you put the toilet seat down, as is evidenced in the diagram.
Yes I always leave it closed if it has a tank
This is how I needed this dilemma explained to me.
Best reason to close the lid: The things you do in the toilet smell. Lid keeps the smells from spreading.
