Toilet flush handles are reverse threaded so they don't loosen up with each flush, which is a counterclockwise turning. Instead they tend to snug up if anything because of the reverse thread. This is due to the standard handle placement on the front right of the tank.

Ohhh that actually makes a ton of sense thanks! Btw there's no way tanks are usually this dirty? I haven't looked in there in years I just forgot about it.

Is it a hazard? There's literally weird blueish green foamy dust everywhere
