    I’ve seen studies claiming that toilet seats are among the cleanest spots in a public restroom, and that slamming your bare ass cheeks down on those things is perfectly safe.

    I also work in an operating room, where we routinely chop condyloma off of people’s ass cheeks… albeit less commonly the cheeks than the hole, but enough times to showcase the fact that the cheeks are prone to spreading and contracting contact dependent pathogens.

    Those studies are bullshit - always build that toilet-paper-bird’s-nest on the public toilet seat.
