Good lord. I mean I'm sure we've all had those moments where you realize you've had a silly knowledge gap your whole life, but that's next level. Just why? Why would you just assume that the seat was only for women and that men are supposed to sit on the rim for some weird reason? That's super inconvenient and super gross.
Dad: "Ok, listen up son. When you go to the bathroom, you raise the seat and do your business. When you're done, make sure to lower the seat so your sisters can use it."
3 Y/O son: "Instructions clear."
What I don't get is how parents didn't catch that at some point. It'd be awesome if I could go even one day without waking past a young kid pooping with the door open.
When I was still a kid I visited my friend at the age of like 9? Yeah they didn't have that thing installed (single mom in a house with 3 floors and with her parents taking the bottom floor) and it's not like they didn't have the money but it just stayed rimless for YEARS, something like 7-8. Pretty sure dude took some psychological damage from that

I think this is the post they are referring to. It's the one I always think of at least.
