The patent contains the intended use for that kind of paper.

TP, shitposting… You don’t see the connection?
WarmSoda@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I need TP for my bunghole!

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.VubDapple@lemmy.world 4 months ago

Obviously designed in a place without deadly spiders.

Can you explain why this matters for people who don’t live with deadly spiders?
Atin@lemmy.world 4 months ago
In Australia spiders like to hang out in places like where the outer layer of TP sits as it is a good hiding place for them. Especially Red Backs. Huntsmen like it too but will only kill by a jump scare caused heart attack.

Beards are based, mullets are cringe.
Siegfried@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Why do we assume that is a frontal view?

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

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

Ooh I just got a new idea for a new patent!
praxis_jack@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yes, correct

I’m finally coming around to this after decades of being steered away from it by The Simpsons (youtu.be/CQod276-7Mo?si=F5_Suzq41QAK_Wtg).

It makes sense when you consider that they don’t even have ball pens in the 19th century. People back then must be very stupid.
WarmSoda@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yes… Because the people that everything we have today possible are… stupid. Right.
lowleveldata@programming.dev 4 months ago
Yes. Otherwise why would they register the wrong way of hanging toilet paper in the patent?
iopq@lemmy.world 4 months ago
They were very smart. Ball pens messed up my wrists. I was livid when I found out it takes no pressure to write with a fountain pen

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.
BCsven@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
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
ByteJunk@lemmy.world 4 months ago
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.
