Yeah, looks really impressive, but a pound is not a lump. Add to that that in order to create a shock wave sufficiently strong to shatter porcelain outright in an open bowl you need something that really detonates, not the deflagration of hydrogen in an oxygen atmosphere. And no, putting the lid down doesn't change this sufficiently to matter.

You can absolutely blow up a toilet with sodium (videos of this exact thing exist on the internet). But yeah, if it's just a small piece, it probably won't happen.
