I might be wrong but splashback seems to be a purely American problem. European toilets tend to have a much lower water level (and I’m not even talking about those old-timey poop shelf toilets). In my well over 30 years of using toilets, I barely remember ever getting splashed.
I might get a house soon and I hope there’s at least one company in EU that still makes the shelf toilets. It’s perfect also to be able to look at your shit.
Whether tis nobler to risk the splashback, or to live with your poop perpetually ending up on a shelf? In many ways, this is a microcosm of the human condition.

What’s a shelf toilet?
You shit, you look, you flush.
Oh no. It’s an EU problem also. In the UK we have a special term ‘fireman’s blanket’ for the tissue you lay down to prevent the said splash.
Lots of toilets in Europe have a “poop shelf” which makes splashing a complete non-issue.

I’m British 😔
Made this post in the middle of diarrhoea.
See, it was therefore technically a kind of shower thought… But not the good kind of shower.
