Unless you have a cat that likes to play with them… Then the other direction.

Rhaedas ,

Depends on the cat. If they're simply going with tapping the roll to spin it, that may work for a bit. I've found that rolls accessible to a cat tend to morph into big balls of clawed unusable pulp.

When I was a young kid, I had a cat that was front-declawed (this was before it was well known that it’s an abusive practice - my folks didn’t know better at the time). Because he couldn’t shred the paper with his claws, he showed his spite by chewing up the roll so it looked like he’d clawed it. Didn’t matter which direction the roll was.

I loved that cat. He was so smart.

Rai ,

When my bois were kittens, they would play with it either way. You’re totally correct.

BoxOfFeet ,

Why not just shut the door so the cat doesn’t get in there? The toilet paper being hung correctly is more important than the cat for me.

Rai ,

Yes but also S T E A M

If you live in a humid, much poo carries on.

ArmoredThirteen ,

One of my cats knows how to open doors like a fucking velociraptor. We’ve baby locked several of our doors but some things like the bathroom I don’t like fucking around with extra steps when trying to get into at 3am

zammy95 ,

Oh hey, my fear. Do you have door knobs, or uh - the flat handled kind that swing down or up? I just realized I don’t know what those lever like door handles are called.

I can hear one of my cats pawing at the door knob at night, he’d be getting in places he shouldn’t if we had those flat kind.

ArmoredThirteen ,

The flat/lever kind, can get them open first try from either side of a door it’s impressive. He’s way too smart for his own good and I suspect he could work a round style one if it had enough texture on it. The menace certainly gets into everything else in the house

RBWells ,

Our Kimchi is working so hard on this and I don’t usually think of her as clever. She knows the knob opens the door so she bats at it, hangs on it.

Neither cat has been messing with the toilet paper lately though.

@ivanafterall@lemmy.world avatar

Bank vault doors. With digital keypad entry systems. They’re really smart cats.

WarmSoda OP ,

That comes in handy when a girl comes over over, too

iopq ,

Because I don’t like the smell of cat shit anywhere outside the bathroom

WarmSoda OP ,

Then teach them not to play with the TP roll.

efstajas ,

Ah yes! “Just teach” the cat. Easy

Theme ,

Famously easy, like herding cats

WarmSoda OP , (edited )

If you spend time with them yeah it can be easy. I have two cats. They both listen to me.

You can’t expect them to just automatically know what not to do.

Iapar ,

But people get cats so they don’t have to interact with them.

WarmSoda OP ,

I do not condone animal abuse.

Iapar ,

Good, you shouldn’t.

WarmSoda OP ,

Interact with your cats, people. They’re pack animals. Just like dogs. They just hunt stealthily instead of barking.

iopq ,

The cat listens to me. It understands nothing, though

WarmSoda OP ,

Well, then teach it to understand. Do you think dogs just automatically understand everything too?

Why are all of the people in here getting animals if they don’t want to spend time with them? They’re not magic beasts.

shukufuku ,

You aren’t taking into account the patent inversion convention of 1898.

TropicalDingdong ,

You aren’t taking into account the patent inversion convention of 1898.

Patent got filed on double reverse patent day. Draw 4.

WarmSoda OP ,

What if it was accepted on a triple dog backwards day though?

TropicalDingdong ,

Uno.

WarmSoda OP ,

Crap. I’m sorry. I don’t know French.

SaintWacko ,

We actually have a nice print of that hanging in the bathroom

WarmSoda OP ,

That’s a good idea. Maybe a wood print. I like it.

SaintWacko ,

This is the one we have. I actually got it from their kickstarter years ago: cratestyle.com/products/no-338-toilet-paper-roll?…

mcqtom ,

Does it trouble you at all that the diagram doesn’t specify where the wall should be?

SaintWacko ,

Wait… Do you not have your toilet paper just hanging in the air?

It should be on a pivot so it always faces where youre pulling from

flambonkscious ,

Bastards incorporated!

Asidonhopo ,

Bad design. Toilet paper not currently in use must be stored outside the bathroom so that it doesn’t become damp and musty from the humidity. As opposed to on the wet floor next to the dewy toilet. This is how you get a nasty fungal infection fyi

CommissarVulpin ,

…Is your bathroom a swamp?

shalafi ,

LOL my god, I was gonna say. OP apparently lacks a rudimentary immune system as well. Or, is shoving that tp way, way too deep. And leaving it there.

My wife got me to install a bidet. Can’t remember to try it. Been 8-months, still forget.

JCreazy ,

You’ve had a bidet for 8 months and you have yet to experience its wonders?

Sotuanduso ,

I’ve had a bidet for years and never used it. The rest of my family does, but I have no interest.

Captainvaqina ,

It is far superior and unmeasurably more efficient.

Actually you can measure it, by the amount you save on shit tickets.

itsgoodtobeawake ,

Eh, different strokes for different butts. I don’t see how having a wet/moist ass is more efficient. I have one, and don’t use it unless I’m particularly interested…in extra cleanliness. It’s not for everyone.

null ,

Yeah, and why take a shower when you can just pat yourself down with paper towel?

itsgoodtobeawake ,

Some of you bidet fans sound like you’re in a religion with all the proselytizing. You do you, just stop pretending that your way is magically superior.

null ,

Nothing magical about it. It’s simply, objectively superior.

Iapar ,

Cleaning with water is objectively superior then cleaning without, no?

lone_faerie ,

If you step in dog poop, do you just wipe it off or do you wash your foot?

Sotuanduso ,

I don’t like being wet, so I’d use about as much TP anyways. Maybe more.

ivanafterall ,
@ivanafterall@lemmy.world avatar

He lives in a hut in the rainforest maybe?

constantokra ,

If you have humidity problems in your bathroom, get a small electric dehumidifier. They’re less than 30 bucks and they’ll fix it right up.

roguetrick ,

Being in the general vicinity of mold won’t give you a fungal infection unless you don’t wash. I recommend against placing toilet paper directly inside your rectum or vagina, however.

Imgonnatrythis ,

Or anyone else’s for that matter.

roguetrick ,

Username does not check out.

theneverfox ,

I recommend against placing toilet paper directly inside your rectum or vagina, however.

I don’t understand. How do you use toilet paper?

roguetrick ,

In my case, external surfaces and creating a paper mache dong extension.

MystikIncarnate ,

I’m thinking that the poster means putting it entirely inside, like trying to clean the walls of a glass or pipe or something.

IDK. I’m just some guy.

GBU_28 ,

If the bathroom and toilet are “dewy” the bad design falls on the house itself.

Asidonhopo ,

In hot, humid climates the toilet bowl itself will have condensation that sweats down the outside in my experience. YMMV

MystikIncarnate ,

Oooh. That makes more sense.

In less humid/hot locations, this isn’t really an issue. The outside of the bowl is cold, but rarely collects condensation.

The only way for it to get wet and create a problem is when guys have bad aim and don’t have the decency to sit down because of their bad aim.

If you use the TP after that, you get what’s coming to you.

Ghostalmedia ,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

What in the terrible photoshop I looking at.

Why is there two gigantic rolls on the ground?

Imgonnatrythis ,

Heavy days?

MystikIncarnate ,

I’ve seen these. I know people who have them.

It’s a tp holder with space for extra rolls.

It’s made if wire and it sucks.

MystikIncarnate ,

Booooooo.

OP is still right, but I hate what you’ve posted.

IHateReddit ,

this one would be the alternative https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e9d1d3cb-b3f0-4022-bee7-0ccae09abb17.jpeg

MystikIncarnate ,

I like this one more.

SonicDeathTaco ,

I see nothing that indicates that that is the front of the roll

henfredemars ,

Sending this to my neurotic wife. It’s going to bother her now.

WarmSoda OP ,

Thank you. I’m glad I could help

kibiz0r ,

Are we looking from the perspective of the user or the wall?

dev_null ,

Yeah, the illustration shows nothing, we don’t know which side is which anyway.

lowleveldata ,

It makes sense when you consider that they don’t even have ball pens in the 19th century. People back then must be very stupid.

WarmSoda OP ,

Yes… Because the people that made everything we have today possible are… stupid. Right.

lowleveldata ,

Yes. Otherwise why would they register the wrong way of hanging toilet paper in the patent?

WarmSoda OP ,

Lol nicely done

iopq ,

They were very smart. Ball pens messed up my wrists. I was livid when I found out it takes no pressure to write with a fountain pen

Whatevster ,

What the fuck were they doing for toilet paper before 1891?

HocEnimVeni ,
@HocEnimVeni@lemmy.world avatar

Farmers almanac.

shalafi ,

Sears catalog and corn cobs. No lie.

WarmSoda OP ,

Smart. One for the front, and one for the back.

Toes ,

A rag on a stick, frequent trips to the river, their left hand, nothing at all and the three seashells. We’re some other options.

jballs ,
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

We’ve still got a few years until the three seashells take over and Taco Bell wins the franchise wars.

Imgonnatrythis ,

I dunno, but it probably involved slaves.

blarth ,

This post sent me down a rabbit hole.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_hygiene

The funniest one is the Japanese “chuugi”, translated to “shit stick”.

WarmSoda OP ,

As absolutely batshit crazy the world is right now, it’s important to reflect on what we do have. And thankfully it’s advanced beyond shit sticks.

MystikIncarnate ,

Imagine getting an asshole splinter?

WarmSoda OP ,

No. No I will not imagine that, thank you very much. Kittens are cute. Kittens are cute.

oatscoop ,

Various other things like leaves, rags, sponges, or leftover paper. Failing that a bare hand works: manners dictating you wash it after.

Some cultural hangups on the left hand being “unclean” stem from those cultures using that hand for hygienic reasons.

Asidonhopo ,

Toilet paper hanging haphazardly over the front of the roll provides a convenient place for a 3 inch spider to hide between the roll and hanging strip. The patent illustration is clearly meant as a sick joke.

Sotuanduso ,

If it’s hanging from the other side, there’s even more space for a spider to hide outside of view.

remotelove ,

Well, that spider is in for a hell of a ride.

MystikIncarnate ,

Weeeeee

Etterra ,

I accept the wrong way if, and only if, the wrongifier has cats.

zammy95 ,

I have cats and would never have the audacity to do something as vulgar as that.

Etterra ,

WarmSoda OP ,

I can’t blame that cat. I been watching this for ten minutes and the roll never ends!

pancakes ,
@pancakes@sh.itjust.works avatar

Agreed. My cat would never dare put the roll on the wrong way.

silasmariner ,

Toddlers do the thing too

usualsuspect191 ,

I prefer the look of overhand, but the oversize rolls pull better out of my inset holder when it’s underhand

Siegfried ,

Why do we assume that is a frontal view?
