  The Mythbusters did a test to see how much contamination might get onto a toothbrush in various places in a bathroom. They basically just left them in different spot for a few days and then had them tested for Fecal coliform bacteria, usually associated with the intestines of warm blooded animals. They also had a couple control brushes under a glass on a table in the middle of the shop.
  When they got the results back every single brush tested positive. Including the controls. >
  
  Wait, so what were the controls then? >
  
  Even packaged toothbrushes straight from the factory were tested and found to have fecal matter on them. >
  
  Part of the manufacturing process requires each brush to be carefully swabbed around a butthole before packaging. >
  
  The more you learn. >
  
  Close your toilet lid before you flush and stop dunking your toothbrush in your toilet >
  
  Legit that’s all you have to do. I saw a pic of some research teams findings and… yep that was enough. >
  
  Mythbusters did a segment on this. Got my ex to start putting the lid down to flush after seeing it. >
  
  Wait but they found that no matter what it still sprays poo particles everywhere. Doesn't matter lid up or down. >
  
  so does a fart, its not killed you yet. 
  Honestly this way madness lies. >
  
  My farts are a thing of madness, the subtle whistling of two buttholes in tandem softly into a cotton damper.
  It's like the song of some alien bird, it feels so familiar and strange at the same time. >
  
  Why do you have 2 buttholes? >
  
  Because Crohn's is a bitch and surgery is not fun. >
  
  Sorry to hear that, but your previous post was an enlightened display of perversely beautiful poetry. Thanks for that! :) >
  
  Well hopefully this is a short lived bizarre nightmare, doc says he can plaster over at least one in a couple months. >
  
  What are you talking about? I brush my shit in a separate room >
  
  And I clean my teeth in the bathroom! >
  
  r/yourjokebutworse >
  
  In France it's highly common to have separate rooms for toilets and baths+sinks >
  
  Same here in Australia >
  
  And England >
  
  And Japan >
  
  And Belgium >
  
  I believe MythBusters concluded you’re screwed no matter which room you keep your toothbrush. Poop particles find a way. >
  
  "Poop particles find a way." - facsimile_ >
  
  Thanks Goldblum >
  
  When I was growing up in Australia it was very common for the toilet to be a tiny little separate room from the bathroom but with an adjoining door. >
  
  Yeah it still is like that here >
  
  I think this is more common in the US than it is in many other places in the world. >
  
  It's common in Norway too >
  
  The UK too. >
  
  Ooooh! They did a Myth Busters about this and it turns out that there's fecal matter everywhere! Even thr "control" toothbrush they put in an air tight case had fecal matter.
  Turns out a little bit won't kill you. >
  
  Sometimes I even eat while pooping so I can imagine it’s turning to poop in real time. >
  
  This is poetry. This is art. Someone could learn something from such words. >

  you’re hilarious bro >
  
  Why didn't you upvote than? Sadistic bastard! >
  
  Guys put your toothbrush in a cabinet or drawer when you are done using it. >
  
  So mold instead of poop. Honestly not the worst trade off >
  
  I find that mine dries off so no mold, plus I get new tooth brushes probably more often than the average bear. >
  
  My sink and toothbrush are in a separate room. I can close of my shower and toilet if I want >
  
  No, what's gross is people who have cats and put the litter tray in the kitchen. >
  
  I once helped a guy remove virus from his PC and in the entrance he had 2 very large full to the brim of poops litter trays. I asked him how many cats he had, he said just the one. >
  
  I toured a house a few years ago, and saw that they had a huge bathroom, with the toilet inside a smaller room, with its own door, completely enclosed by the bathroom.  I thought it was funny that the bathroom had its own bathroom, but I guess this is a reason why it might be a good feature. >
  
  Maybe a privacy thing, like if someone is taking a crap, but you need to wash your hands or brush your teeth. So in that sense it's smart to have the toilet in a seperate room.
