I've never understood toilet seat etiquette either, but it makes sense to close the lid due to smells, pets, vicious flush splashes etc.
Imagine if you will, a horizontally rotating lid and toilet seat that just like the vertical variety can be moved one after the other or both at once. Both are spring
loaded to automate the return journey. Utilizing long lost soft eject technology, when the flush is activated the lid (and seat) rotate back above the bowl in a slow and smooth manner.
This has the additional advantage that the toilet lid can be used as a side table for snacks, drinks and reading matter.

So... they swing out to the side like those rangefinding testing
lenses they use to determine eyeglass prescriptions? |

Yes, thats the general gist of horizontal rotation. |

Picturing [bigsleep] sitting on the toilet with side table laid out with roast dinner, bottle of wine, box of cigars. Perhaps a pop-up bookcase add-on? |

Does it tip the dishes into the bowl, for washing, after your meal? |

I can see these three guys, Jim, Bob, and Bill.
They are sitting around the toilet, playing poker and eating chips. Jim says he has to go to the bathroom. He stands up, the toilet seat moving away, Bob looks away, Jim runs out of the room. |

Who's going to use the bathroom as a place to put snacks? |
