Should you flush with toilet lid up or down? Study says it doesn’t matter

File this one under "Studies We Wish Had Let Us Remain Ignorant." Scientists at the University of Arizona decided to investigate whether closing the toilet lid before flushing reduces cross-contamination of bathroom surfaces by airborne bacterial and viral particles via "toilet plumes." The bad news is that putting a lid on it doesn't result in any substantial reduction in contamination, according to their recent paper published in the American Journal of Infection Control. The good news: Adding a disinfectant to the toilet bowl before flushing and using disinfectant dispensers in the tank significantly reduce cross-contamination.

Men and women's brains do work differently, scientists discover

https://news.yahoo.com/men-womens-brains-differently-scientists-204332939.html

Experts said the brain differences could influence how males and females view themselves, how they interact with other people and how they recall past experiences.

‌Dr Vinod Menon, prof of psychiatry and behavioural sciences at Stanford, said: “This is a very strong piece of evidence that sex is a robust determinant of human brain organisation.”‌

“Our findings suggest that differences in brain activity patterns across these key brain regions contribute to sex-specific variations in cognitive functioning.”

To be a heretic, one must contradict the orthodox belief. I see no evidence he is doing that. Can you provide some evidence that the opposite is believed by most people?

Are you trying to get me banned by enticing me to post that the current orthodoxy insists there is no difference between men and women? And that men even make better women than women do?

I refuse to be suckered into your trap.

Don’t bother to post, just do a search on brain differences between men and women. I had to scroll down several pages before I found anyone claiming there was no difference. And found no credible source saying that. Apparently you are afraid to have your straw man argument destroyed.

I told you that I will not let you bait me into posting that the current orthodoxy is not that "there are no differences between men and women" but that "men are women".

Quit trying. I'm impervious to your efforts.

Yep, you know what you know and are uninterested in anything contradictory. There is a lot of that going around.

I've made no comment whatsoever to contradict -- or not -- any assertion you may -- or may not -- have made.

I am purposefully remaining out of this conversation so as to avoid the wrath of the irrational orthodoxy which I do not admit -- or even suggest -- exists.

Please stop attempting to illicit such possibly heretical comments from me.

Good day, sir*.
