I've had a large chunk of bowel removed because of growths which fortunately turned out to be pre-cancerous. Apart from having a large scar, I can't say it's been a major problem, but I am glad it got picked up in time.
I don't have a continental toilet, but it might be a good idea.
I thought Germans did that because of worms from pork.
I always understood, the shelf was to look for worms.
You really don’t want one. Have turds sticking up iceberg style above the water makes for a very stinky loo.

Germans like their pork. I thought that they were obsessed with detecting tape worms, which are more dangerous from undercooked pork -
We had a walk in shower installed to replace the bath in our downstairs bathroom. It's great.
The upstairs bathroom has a short bath. The only time I ever used it was while we had the downstairs one redone. I couldn't wash my knees, but apart from that it was fine!
(When we bought the house there was no upstairs bathroom at all. Sacrificing a tiny room for an upstairs toilet was a great move!)
