There's a reason why some people hang toilet paper over while others hang it under

  No, under is still never the right way. That’s just a fact. You can talk about folding all day, but that’s a separate issue.

    Wow. Imagine being so confidently wrong. I’m embarrassed for you

      The patent for the toilet paper roll clearly shows the roll going over. Any other way is user error.

    Unless you have a child or an insane cat that likes to bat the roll & dump it all on the floor. Thank fuck that part of my life is over.

  I hang it under so that my cats can’t unravel it easily

    I’ve seen this said a few times, and I agree that it is a valid reason.

    But whoever is doing it like this out of preference has something very wrong with them.

    I trained my cat not to touch it.

    I took a metal measuring cup from the kitchen and set it atop the roll. As soon as he’d go to pull on the paper it would fall off and make a loud clang against the tile floor.

    After just a few scares like that, he’s not touched the roll in years.

    You can’t reprimand a cat into not doing something, but a small change to make doing it unpleasant makes em stop pretty quick.

      Cat: noted rolls the toilet paper at night, causing as loud of a noise as possible

    Same goes for toddlers. Also I find that I can easier hold the roll and rip off a piece with just one hand when it is under.

    I heard of this, then i tried this, my cat still able to pull it somehow. Now i’m wondering if my cat is just extra naughty.

      Your cat is probably just smarter than my little dumbasses, lol

    I’m sorry, on lemmy we only strive for the dogmatic pursuit of the ideal.

  Only Satanists and swingers hang toilet paper under.

    Only the fun people? Maybe I should switch…

  Never attribute to training that which can be explained by laziness.

  Some rolls are only soft on one side

  Uh… What? Are you sure that’s toilet paper and not sand paper you’re thinking of?

  source

  • Allero@lemmy.today ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yes, toilet paper. Quite some rolls are more rough on one side - not sandpaper rough, but still enough to potantially cause irritation on the gentle skin adjacent to anus.

    Like a kitchen sponge, you need that abrasive side to scrape off the shit that you missed last time and is now crusted in between your cheeks

  While we’re in the bathroom…guys.

  Lift the seat, pee, put down the seat, flush, wash your hands.

  I’m a guy and so few of my fellow men do all of these.

  What the fuck, fellows?

  I genuinely couldn’t give two shits how you hang it. Y’all need to find something else to obsess about

    C’mon, it’s a classic Internet debate, barely anyone takes it seriously, but people will stand their ground for the meme

  It also matters if it’s installed on your dominant hand’s side, or your non-dominant hand’s side, as how the two interact during the fold would determine which side eventually faces buttside.

    Fair enough!

    source
• Anticorp@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Most of us just don’t give a shit. Some of us have cats and put it on under so the cat can’t unspool the whole thing if it goes crazy.

  What sick bastard uses toilet paper single layered?

  • VulKendov@reddthat.com ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    A poor sick bastard, not everyone can afford those fancy quilted double ply TPs

    source
  • Allero@lemmy.today ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Double-layered can sometimes have a rough side too
