Calling people who disagree with you misguided when it comes to purely matter of tastes is not just talking about one's opinion, but is in fact insulting other people for no reason. So fuck the author of this particular article.

Although Mythbusters is not a peer reviewed scientific source, they do employ reasonable standards of experimentation.

And the first source you posted is particularly interesting, with similar conclusions to what I remember from Mythbusters; that lids reduce the total number of particles found, but that the particles produced from lid use last longer and are larger. So a lid closed situation can;t really be said to be more hygienic.

Unfortunately on a cursory skimming of the other articles none of them seem compare toilets with lid down to lid up, they all seem to look at lidless toilets only. Thus, they can;t really speak to the topic of lid use being more hygienic without the direct comparison.

Mythbusters found it makes no difference in the spread of fecal matter. Toilet lids aren't perfect seals.

You can us AI upscaling on the image after and see if you can boost the resolution that way.

He is morally innocent

No he's not, because once again the vast majority of people who have bad childhoods and mental challenges don;t go murdering people. He is in no way morally innocent.

But JIF is another file format (JPEG interchange format), so the creator was stupid to say GIF is pronounced as jif.

It tastes like Weissbier, which is a type of beer. So it does indeed taste like beer.

I enjoy it. Weihenstephaner Weissbier is my favourite though.

It's a hell of a lot easier to fix Earth for continued living than it is to make Mars in any way habitable.

It seems like that's just what ended up in the valley. 40 Olympic swimming pools is only 100,000 m3, but the title says 3,5 million m3 fell in the rockslide.

Yes, saw it in the theaters and laughed my ass off. It's a super fun movie. Not the sequel though, it sucked.

That's not what happened. The guns were used with real ammo at a range to go shooting, then used as prop guns later without properly checking that there were no live rounds or lodged bullets in the guns.

And I'm not minimizing them, I'm telling you the actual solution isn't modifying the firing pin, or changing the rules, since the rules work. These deaths were due to idiots breaking the rules, but the rules have worked to prevent thousands of deaths, and if followed no one will ever dies.
