So far we have three people that have made the same comment about not being the front view. I’m using copy comments as TP tomorrow.
It’s halfway 2024 it’s time to move on to bidets.
I use a bidet, I still need TP to clean up after the water does the job.
I know fancy bidets exist that will blow dry your arae, but what do I look like? A rich person? We got ours from Amazon for like $20.
TP use is way down, but it’s still needed in many cases.
I just sit there and browse Lemmy while I wait for my ass to dry out. 😀
You use toilet paper to dry off? Why not a towel?
A bidet ain’t 100% clean. Sometimes there is small residue which you notice when you dry with toilet paper. I got a handheld bidet btw and since installing it 10y ago I really hate pooping without.
In our culture we use soap and water to clean our asses after pooping. So a bidet+soap match made in heaven.
Before bidets we use a dipper to scoop water.
Scoop water from where‽
From a big bucket near the toilet.
Thank you for clarifying. My mind immediately jumped to “scooping water from the toilet bowl”. Glad this was not the case.
In our culture we just put in a new asshole every time we poop problem solved.
Based and Hygiene Pilled
I love how everyone arguing against this mentions cats - and never toddlers.
It really speaks volumes to the types of users on Lemmy :)
Putting the roll on backwards doesn’t stop my cats. I have to have a towel draped in front of the roll.
And my toddlers both just turned it back around!
Another proof that children do have ingrained morals
Not the best patent to use if you want to settle the debate. This one from Wheeler is the nail in the coffin: patent
It also shows why it was over and not under as at the time, the TP holder was a hanging wire, which kept the paper against the wall. Not protruding out like todays hangers.
Good find
Not that the over/under debate was even a thing, but this should convince those diehard lunatics not to hang their TP improperly!
I like this shitpost
The proper way to hang it, if you have cats, is the other way so they don’t bat it all off if the get access. This is why I do not have cats.
My cat has not once tried unraveling a toilet paper roll. He has stolen money before, but he steals shit, so that’s normal. But never toilet paper.
Haha mine will take coins off the table, and carry it off to her hiding spot. It’s the cutest thing. I got her a small box of toy pirate coins.
Oh, man. My mother had cats who would just attack tp or paper towels. We had them both hanging the ‘correct’ way, got tired of it and flipped em. Now, though, I stick to dogs lol
I like how it just looks like a log being shaved into extremely thin sheets.
The original toilet paper was pretty much that, from what I understand.
IDK for sure, not like I’m some toilet paper historian.
I read “a dog”, and spent several seconds horrified but searching the canine resemblance
They didn’t own a cat and it shows.
I’ve had cats my whole life and have never had one mess with my properly placed toilet paper.
I have four in the house and none of them screw with our tp.
You just have a cat that’s more of an asshole than usual.
Increased nip dosages are required.
I mount mine vertically so nyah
Funny. That’s how your mom mounts me! Heyoooh!
You must be necrophiliac since my mom has been dead for years.
🙄
And in addition she was cremated,so i guess that makes you an assh man too
Oh that’s good, that quality right there.
Respect.
Wait. So if this i patented but has no specification about hanging it the other way, would that mean that one could patent toilet paper again, but hanging the other way?
I don’t believe so. They will only award a new patent if yours is meaningfully different from previous technologies. I would suspect they would deem the other direction “not a meaningful difference.”
The internet disagrees.
You shouldn’t, but the patent office don’t care about inventive height and obviousness anymore
They believed in a lot of stupid shit back then.
Ass wiping tech has come a long way. Thankfully.
Beards are based, mullets are cringe.
Just use water lmfao
I use both toilet paper and water
Against the cats?
Ooh I just got a new idea for a new patent!
This could have saved relationships.
