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.
Just use water lmfao
I use both toilet paper and water
Against the cats?
Yes this was 1.0, 2.0 improved the tech by going under instead of over. Much more convenient single hand operation as well as pet protection.
I go over hand and my one handed TP game is on point.
Get good.
Warning! Normies who can't digest radical ideas, don't click further.
I keep the roll on its side (vertical, with circular face down).
Also, I don’t use it to wipe my butt. I have a handheld water shower directing device (a.k.a. health faucet) for that.Sending this to my neurotic wife. It’s going to bother her now.
Thank you. I’m glad I could help
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.
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.
Well, that spider is in for a hell of a ride.
Weeeeee
If it’s hanging from the other side, there’s even more space for a spider to hide outside of view.
I’m finally coming around to this after decades of being steered away from it by The Simpsons (https://youtu.be/CQod276-7Mo?si=F5_Suzq41QAK_Wtg).
Thats the ‘cat free house’ way.
I had cats my whole life and never had this happen.
We have many cats, also, no problems.
Eh. I taught my 2 cats to not touch it. It’s not difficult.
HOW‽ If I could I would
Honestly I sometimes wonder how I did it, because my cats listen to me and rarely do something I don’t want them to.
Im firm with them, never loud, never hit them or push them. Consistency might be the key. Always tell them no the same way, as many times as it takes. I’ll give them something else to play with if they’re ripping something up too.
They’re smart, if you spend the time with them.
Exactly this. Had a friend struggling to teach a kitten. He had the habit of sounding stern, but not following through, simply pointing like a threat. It even confused me, let alone the cat
Within 1 hour of me consistenly spraying the kitten with water and using the same tone, the kitten started to hesitate when wanting to jump on the counter. It learned not to do so quickly after that.
I have had many cats and have never had a problem with them grabbing the toilet paper.
Ass wiping tech has come a long way. Thankfully.
I see we’ve got some really strong opinions going on here. Just wanna remind everyone to keep it friendly and civil.
And on that note, all you weirdos who place it behind are wrong and I will die on this hill.
Fight me.
I stand with you this day, brother!
I stand two stalls over, but still with you!
Separate, but together, we stand… Or sit.
IDK what’s going on in this metaphor.
That’s an impressive watch, brother!
People who place it hanging against the wall stand to wipe, like children.

I’m not gonna fight you. My two shitty scheming cats on the other hand…
Look I know how it’s supposed to go but I’m fighting for every square
You could just keep the door closed
Yes. Famous respecter of closed doors, our feline friends.
Ah, I see the problem. I’m afraid you’ve accidentally adopted a Velociraptor.
I’ve never paid a single bit of attention to which way it goes on. I spit into the face of this entire debate and it’s never done me any harm to do so. I’m a cat owner too. The roll goes on either way, it’s fine, and I’ll never change my mind.
Someday if you ever live with another person you’ll figure it out.
I’m happily married. Has never once been an issue.
Not for you…
Is your SO also a “super cool edge lord that bucks the trends of society”? Because you’re just so cool?
Nothing about being an edgelord or cool. Its just not a thing that’s ever been an issue in any relationship, even ones I fucked up. It’s not even a thing I ever once heard talked about anywhere aside from the internet. It’s just a shit post argument that doesn’t matter, regardless of how you do it. Just an empty little thing people like fighting about online for whatever reason. That’s what I spit into the face of.
Wtf says things like “spit in the face of”, and the other cring phrases you use.
Be better.Nah. I’ll be as cringe as I please. Don’t need your permission.
I wouldn’t give you permission for anything, and I couldn’t care less, based on our interactions so far. People like you aren’t worth any energy at all.
People here be discussing the wrong thing, or am I the only one thinking that patenting a roll of paper is incredibly stupid?
It’s a damn roll of paper. How much of a genius do you have to be to come up with that? People have been doing it for millennia, the only difference is that it used to be so expensive that no one would think of whipping their butts with it.
The patent was the tp roll but more so the angular serations that terminate short of the center, so a tearable roll of paper rather than a strip role that had to be torn manually or cut
So the innovation that was patented is literally “cut it partway through”.
Patents are inherently stupid and only serve to stifle progress. Change my mind or otherwise just downvote away, works as well.
They are stupid, but helped inventors recoup development costs. It gets abused now, especially with patent trolls. The invention here moved TP from a roll you had to cut or tear, to self tearing segments with enough attached at center that it pulled roll forward…smart at the time…we take this idea of perforated sheets for granted now
Maybe this invention revolutionised how we clean our butts, or maybe it was utterly trivial and 20 different ways of cutting paper rolls were patented that same year (note that present day rolls don’t even use this method).
But that’s irrelevant to the point that seems to be implied here that patents somehow contributed to it’s success. They don’t, an invention will be useful or not based on its own merits, not on the fact they’re patented.
They exist to ensure whoever registered it makes a profit, which is why they’re being exploited way past the point of making up for any good they were supposed to bring…
Yep, i agree. patents are stupid, but not everyone is convinced of open sourcing everything
I prefer the look of overhand, but the oversize rolls pull better out of my inset holder when it’s underhand
What the fuck were they doing for toilet paper before 1891?
This post sent me down a rabbit hole.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_hygiene
The funniest one is the Japanese “chuugi”, translated to “shit stick”.
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.
Imagine getting an asshole splinter?
No. No I will not imagine that, thank you very much. Kittens are cute. Kittens are cute.
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.
I dunno, but it probably involved slaves.
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.
We’ve still got a few years until the three seashells take over and Taco Bell wins the franchise wars.
Farmers almanac.
Sears catalog and corn cobs. No lie.
Smart. One for the front, and one for the back.
