The+One+And+Only+Correct+Way+To+Hang+Your+Toilet+Paper-3048017586

I just had two different rolls of toilet paper sitting in my bathroom, and looking at them from the shower I got an epiphany.

Some rolls are soft on both sides, while some only on external one!

And if you have the latter and tend to rip two squares and fold (and it's easier to fold downside up), if you hang it over you'll end up with the rough side!

Those people just don't want to hurt their bums! All while the rest enjoys more easy access to toilet paper while hanging it over.

Endless debate...solved?

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

EDIT: I will never know why this received a downvote.

Are practical adjustments in order to keep your cat from shredding/eating toilet paper so wrong?

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

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.

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.

New copypasta just dropped (⁀ᗢ⁀)

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.

[-] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 8 months ago

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.
