A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.
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.
