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 will not be taking questions.

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

I stand with you this day, brother!
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Separate, but together, we stand… Or sit.
IDK what’s going on in this metaphor.

People who place it hanging against the wall stand to wipe, like children.

We actually have a nice print of that hanging in the bathroom
WarmSoda@lemmy.world 5 months ago
That’s a good idea. Maybe a wood print. I like it.
SaintWacko@midwest.social 5 months ago
This is the one we have. I actually got it from their kickstarter years ago: cratestyle.com/products/no-338-toilet-paper-roll?…
mcqtom@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Does it trouble you at all that the diagram doesn’t specify where the wall should be?
SaintWacko@midwest.social 5 months ago
Wait… Do you not have your toilet paper just hanging in the air?
HarbingerOfTomb@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Sure, that’s great and so, but the creator of the Gif says the wrong way to say it so… the creator is not always right.
dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Just to make sure to not take sides, I pronounce the ‘g’ as in ‘design’
mossy_@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I guess it’s fine gif you want to say it like that
Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Well saying it the wrong way sounds too much like gift. How often are you talking about Jiff peanut butter?
Jank@literature.cafe 5 months ago
As a choosey mom, you would be surprised how often it comes up.

What in the terrible photoshop I looking at.
Why is there two gigantic rolls on the ground?
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Heavy days?
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
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.
Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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
GBU_28@lemm.ee 5 months ago
If the bathroom and toilet are “dewy” the bad design falls on the house itself.
constantokra@lemmy.one 5 months ago
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@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
wildcardology@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It’s halfway 2024 it’s time to move on to bidets.
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
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.
wildcardology@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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?

I accept the wrong way if, and only if, the wrongifier has cats.
zammy95@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I have cats and would never have the audacity to do something as vulgar as that.
pancakes@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Agreed. My cat would never dare put the roll on the wrong way.
silasmariner@programming.dev 5 months ago
Toddlers do the thing too
ultratiem@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Not the best patent to use if you want to settle the debate. This one from Wheeler is the nail in the coffin: patent
WarmSoda@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Good find
ultratiem@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Not that the over/under debate was even a thing, but this should convince those diehard lunatics not to hang their TP improperly!
ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I love how everyone arguing against this mentions cats - and never toddlers.
It really speaks volumes to the types of users on Lemmy :)
harmsy@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Putting the roll on backwards doesn’t stop my cats. I have to have a towel draped in front of the roll.
5too@lemmy.world 5 months ago
And my toddlers both just turned it back around!

Thats the ‘cat free house’ way.

We have many cats, also, no problems.
WarmSoda@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Eh. I taught my 2 cats to not touch it. It’s not difficult.
nogooduser@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I have had many cats and have never had a problem with them grabbing the toilet paper.

Are we looking from the perspective of the user or the wall?
dev_null@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Yeah, the illustration shows nothing, we don’t know which side is which anyway.
Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
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.
ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
WarmSoda@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
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
sfxrlz@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I like this shitpost
SonicDeathTaco@lemm.ee 5 months ago
I see nothing that indicates that that is the front of the roll
shukufuku@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
You aren’t taking into account the patent inversion convention of 1898.

You aren’t taking into account the patent inversion convention of 1898.
Patent got filed on double reverse patent day. Draw 4.
JohnOliver@feddit.dk 5 months ago
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?
Papergeist@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.”
Natanael@slrpnk.net 5 months ago
You shouldn’t, but the patent office don’t care about incentive height and obviousness anymore
Stern@lemmy.world 5 months ago
They didn’t own a cat and it shows.
lengau@midwest.social 5 months ago
I’ve had cats my whole life and have never had one mess with my properly placed toilet paper.
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
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.
MehBlah@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Ass wiping tech has come a long way. Thankfully.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 months ago
I like how it just looks like a log being shaved into extremely thin sheets.
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 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.
Bobmighty@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 5 months ago
The inventor also said it’s “jif”, and I ain’t saying that either. Also, the patent doesn’t indicate whther that’s the front view or the back view. It’s displaying a roll in a vacuum.
JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The most dangerous phrase is “we’ve always done it this way”.
Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I mount mine vertically so nyah
xenspidey@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
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.
Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
Whatevster@lemmy.today 5 months ago
What the fuck were they going for toilet paper before 1891?
drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 5 months ago
They believed in a lot of stupid shit back then.
tehWrapper@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Unless you have a cat that likes to play with them… Then the other direction.
BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
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

If you live in a humid, much poo carries on.
Rhaedas@fedia.io 5 months ago
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.
alquicksilver@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
When my bois were kittens, they would play with it either way. You’re totally correct.
