alright am i alone in thinking the 2.5 centimeters is the weirdest part? not even the butler, the SHEER AMOUNT OF TOOTHPASTE

[-] Liketearsinrain@lemmy.ml 4 points 34 minutes ago

wait, this isn't a joke post?

[-] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 16 minutes ago

you made me doubt it and i looked and yes, he really does want these things. the toothpaste centimeter thing is because he wants exactly an inch of toothpaste out of a crested silver dispenser, which translates to 2.54cm. the claims come from Omid Scobie's book "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight For Survival"

Charles is inbred right? This is the kind of shit inbred monarchs have always done.

[-] kleeon@hexbear.net 10 points 2 hours ago

None of this is surprising. Royals were always weird neurotic pussies

[-] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 hours ago

Like that this comments section isn't filled with his defenders claiming this extreme privilege is just undiagnosed autism and criticizing it is ableism like I've seen when this is posted elsewhere.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 1 hour ago

I think that's more insulting to autistic people than making fun of a Prince for being a spoiled adult brat who throws temper tantrums. Autistic people arent that demanding and if someone was, they would still need to be rich and privileged enough to make those impositions

In this case it wouldnt make a difference. I know ive read way back that mental health treatment is at its lowest at the poorest and richest levels, poorest cause lack of access and richest cause you can just pay make the world suit you. I have no idea how fact based this was, it was years ago that I saw it, but it passes a vibes check

lmao that's incredible. I love when people use woke talking points to defend the most reactionary people on the planet, it's genuinely hilarious

[-] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 15 points 2 hours ago

I myself have a plush isopod and that's never impacted my work but the rest is ridiculous

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 1 hour ago

If i could afford Royalty Level toilet paper I'd probably take it with me as well. Probably hard to go back

[-] Lowleekun@hexbear.net 21 points 3 hours ago

Imagine beging a monarchist. Peroid.

Pretty cringe.

[-] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 6 points 2 hours ago

I gotta get some citations on these. You'd think that at least Lizzy would've put a stop to this.

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 40 points 4 hours ago

2.5 centimeters of toothpaste is like a lot, the dude is foaming like crazy

[-] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 26 points 4 hours ago

Just raises questions about the toothbrush.

[-] poster596@hexbear.net 9 points 1 hour ago

Maybe seizing the toothbrushes will be necessary after all.

As much as I'd love to believe this screenshot of uncredited text, this is how I knew it was all fake. No British person cares that much about brushing their teeth

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 23 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

There's interviews with his butler where the butler talks about the toothpaste and also being called into his office in order to throw out one piece of paper into a paperbasket next to the desk.
Skepticism is only worth anything if you follow it up with research and this shit is pretty easy to look into. https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a38743898/prince-charles-doesnt-squeeze-out-his-own-toothpaste/

I think they were just cracking a joke

The mean number of missing teeth was significantly higher in the US .. than in England

Consistently higher RII and SII [inequality index] values were found in the US than in England

The oral health of US citizens is not better than the English, and there are consistently wider educational and income oral health inequalities in the US compared with England.

I mean ukkk but this was always silly.

Waiting for USAians to come up with a criticism of foreign countries that isn't even worse in their own.

[-] Krem@hexbear.net 5 points 2 hours ago

americans make fun of brits for having fairly normal looking teeth, meanwhile americans have weird shiny white teeth that they feel the need to show off to the world doing this face: the-democrat

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 8 points 2 hours ago

This is where it comes from. British people, celebs especially, didn't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on expensive cosmetic dental surgery, they just had their natural teeth, so they're a bit crooked and a little yellow.

custom velvet toilet paper

pause. wtf does that even mean? is he wiping his ass with fucking fabric? is he just regularly annihilating plumbing everywhere he shits or something? i don't understand.

[-] supdawg813@hexbear.net 17 points 3 hours ago

Kinda misleading, Kleenex Velvet is the brand name and it's not sold in some countries so he has to travel with it

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 11 points 3 hours ago
[-] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 9 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Kleenex is basically synonymous with tissue paper in the US but I've never heard of them selling toilet paper before. Cottenelle is the TP brand from Kimberly-Clark in the US.

[-] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 1 points 6 minutes ago* (last edited 5 minutes ago)

tissue paper

For us, tissue paper is the thin packing paper that comes with fancy chocolates or gifts. We call facial/jizzual tissues just 'tissues'

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 7 points 2 hours ago

Really? Over here (Aus) they're known for both. There is a Kleenex product for every orifice!

Apparently they own Kotex as well, so every orifice is truly accounted for.

[-] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 4 points 1 hour ago

Napkins and cotton swabs too? Here Kleenex is strictly for your nose (or nut). I think the tissues did so well that the idea of Kleenex for your butt is weird.

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 5 points 1 hour ago

It's just toilet paper, which is probably made in the same factories as tissue paper, so Kleenex decided to cut out the middleman there. Not sure why they only do it in some places though. Maybe the US has too competitive of a toilet paper market?

[-] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 3 points 37 minutes ago

No its a simple matter of branding. Kleenex is a brand owned by Kimberly Clark, which also owns the TP brand Cottonelle. No reason to compete against yourself unless you're trying to make another brand look good by comparison.

Theres also the fact that the Kleenex brand in the US is extremely closely tied to facial tissues that its basically synonymous. Making a Kleenex TP would dilute that reputation.

[-] supdawg813@hexbear.net 5 points 2 hours ago

I know I was lowkey disappointed

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 26 points 4 hours ago

Probably extra soft toilet paper kept away from us because if we knew there more than one kind of softness, we'd never stop killing for it

must have servants to launder the royal shit rags, what decadence

[-] fox@hexbear.net 19 points 4 hours ago

He's got a dude whose job it is to emboss the royal monogram on every square of what's otherwise just Charmin 2 ply.

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 10 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

They call him the ~~Lord of the Privy Chamber~~

Edit - Even better! A Groom of the Stool

[-] NewOldGuard@lemmy.ml 3 points 18 minutes ago

Heneage and Denny, as servants "whom he used secretly about him", were privy to Henry VIII's most intimate confidences about Anne of Cleves. He told them he doubted her virginity, on account of "her brests so slacke".

Why is this so funny to me, wtf are you on about Henry

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 5 points 1 hour ago

Damn, there really is a royal asswiper.

[-] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 11 points 3 hours ago

sometimes i wonder just how insufferable i would be had i grown up in the royal family

[-] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 19 points 4 hours ago

You don't understand, he forced the media to use the full government name instead of "prince Andrew"
