Are westerners being robbed of TP when we get the hollow rolls? Is communism the right path after all?
That’s an option here in Japan, though most don’t use it. I’m pretty sure some people sell that style in the US as well. I use one that has a hole but no cardboard insert.
Here in Vietnam we use the whole toilet paper! That’s 65% more toilet paper per toilet paper!
In China it comes stacked in bags and you pull it out sheet by sheet like paper hand towels or a box of tissues. You can hang the bag up.
Fascinating
As a household that doesn’t use a toilet paper roller, this would be amazing. I hate throwing away all those empty rolls
I try to find uses for ours where we can. I have a BBQ with a dead sparker so I usually use a half-tube which I light on fire and drop by the burner before turning on the gas
half-tube
Short cylinder or long half cylinder?
Take dryer lint and stuff it in half a toilet paper roll, then dip it in some melted wax. Makes a great fire starter and you can use stuff you’re gonna throw away anyway.
Just rip the tube up and use it like a really tick toilet paper
Thanks, I hate it.
Like a paint scraper
I see at least 3 plys.
They have the same thing in China, it’s very confusing.
Food so spicy, they give you a roll of bandages as toilet paper. Patch yourself up.
MEDIC!
Well, first aid for an arterial bleeding is to “stuff a finger in the hole and get the person to lay down on the floor”. I suppose that could still be relevant here… If you have a cock ring I guess you could apply it as a tourniquet
ZE MEDIC IS HIYAAR!
That’s cuz you gotta bring your own TP with you instead of it being provided to you for free. No need for a TP holder tube if you’re not gonna share.
Wait, are US bathrooms communist???
Dont let the Republicans find out! They will lobby to take free TP out of schools on account of spreading communist ideology.
I used to buy rolls where the center of the tube came as a little personal roll you could put in your purse. I can’t remember which brand anymore.
H.E.B. store brand toilet paper is like that. Haven’t seen any other companies do it.
I’ve been on Lemmy for about a year, so I’m certain that communism is the only right path.
I’m sorry, the right answer was anarchosyndicalism.
Send this red fascist class traitor to the mines.
Good man! It also happened to be Vietnams national holiday here yesterday, and so there were national flags and hammer and sickle flags everywhere, festivals, and street performances about Ho Chi Minh and the struggle aganst France, China, US, and TBH i never felt so patriotic for a country not my own!
It’s their Independence Day, September 2nd.
Yes, the night time street festivals and celebrations were amazing in Hanoi and Ninh Binh, Im so lucky I happened to come at this time.
and 2 weeks later will be the Moon Festival. It’s like the whole city is on hallucinogens LOL so many light and colors.
Same, I’ve installed Arch on my ThinkPad, shaved my legs and put on knee high stockings. I also give every car a middle finger and swear when walking past parking lots. Lemmy has radicalized me in surprising ways.
Legitimately curious about the stockings. I get all the other jokes in this thread but that one went over my head.
They transed their gender
I like your profile picture.
I appreciate me some Superintendent love. 👍
But do you hate AI?
I fucking hate it. I’ve lost all my friends because I was just spamming anti AI memes from Lemmy to everyone I knew. They’ve all blocked me, but I’d like to think they will think twice before “doing AI”.
But are you a culture warrior in the vegan vs meat industrial complex war?
loathe. i loathe ai
did you libreboot it tho?
and also use framework
In Brazil I saw a toiled paper that the center was filled with another roll, so you’d need to remove that center to put it in your bathroom and use it as a “portable toilet paper” to carry with you
There are some commercial rolls I’ve seen in the US that seem to be a happy medium…the holder itself in the stall has a thin plastic rod for the TP to go on, and the rolls have a very small opening in the center (and no cardboard) to go on that rod.
Shitposting is being taken a little too literally lately
The toilet paper I used in Taiwan was in the form of individual pieces folded up like American tissues for blowing your nose. I even accused my host of making me use tissues, but she showed me that they were actually marketed as toilet paper. Oh, and I couldn’t flush them. That was not embarrassing at all.
Dumpin’ in the trash can
But what about all the kids crafts and hamster tubes?
