For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don't want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That's ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

This thread has now accrued over 1100 comments in only 2 days. That makes it the most commented thread in Lemmy history, so far. How did this gain so much traction in such a short time?

Lemmy has a lot of people who are ready to die on a tiny hill.

Something does seem fishy: the total number of votes this post has received (~450 at the time of writing this comment) is only about a third of the number of comments (~1.2k).

I guess people were really pent up about their pedantic tendencies.

Because we all like our one thing and shouting about our one thing is fun. We haven't even scratched the surface of Kirk vs. Picard.
