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 nothing that indicates that that is the front of the roll

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?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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."

You shouldn't, but the patent office don't care about inventive height and obviousness anymore

I like how it just looks like a log being shaved into extremely thin sheets.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

The original toilet paper was pretty much that, from what I understand.

IDK for sure, not like I'm some toilet paper historian.

They didn't own a cat and it shows.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

I've had cats my whole life and have never had one mess with my properly placed toilet paper.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

This post sent me down a rabbit hole.

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.

They believed in a lot of stupid shit back then.

This could have saved relationships.

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

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