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.
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’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 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.

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!
Sure, that’s great and all, but the creator of the Gif says the wrong way to say it so… the creator is not always right.
Just to make sure to not take sides, I pronounce the ‘g’ as in ‘design’
I guess it’s fine gif you want to say it like that
Well saying it the wrong way sounds too much like gift. How often are you talking about Jiff peanut butter?
As a choosey mom, you would be surprised how often it comes up.
~fuck you, Skippy~
As a Canadian in the UK…like at least once a month
Looks like some folks don’t know how to use the three seashells.
hahahahah … I can see how that can be confusing…
Sounds painful tbh, but you do you.
I accept the wrong way if, and only if, the wrongifier has cats.
I have cats and would never have the audacity to do something as vulgar as that.
I can’t blame that cat. I been watching this for ten minutes and the roll never ends!
Agreed. My cat would never dare put the roll on the wrong way.
Toddlers do the thing too
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.
I have had many cats and have never had a problem with them grabbing the toilet paper.
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 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
They believed in a lot of stupid shit back then.
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 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.
Ass wiping tech has come a long way. Thankfully.
