Eli5: how does your phone have more germs than a toilet seat.

Answer 1

Germs like warmth and moisture. Your toilet seat is dry and cold. Your phone is warm and you hold it up to your mouth and spit on it when you are using it.

Your phone is also held in your hands. Your hands pick your nose, scratch your privates, hold door knobs, shake other people’s hands, touch taps and toilet flush handles and all kinds of disgusting things. Your toilet seat touches your butt, which spends its day encased in cotton touching nothing.

You think your phone is disgusting, wait until someone tells you what is in your kitchen sink!
