So far we have three people that have made the same comment about not being the front view. I'm using copy comments as TP tomorrow.
I like how it just looks like a log being shaved into extremely thin sheets.
The original toilet paper was pretty much that, from what I understand.
IDK for sure, not like I'm some toilet paper historian.
Ass wiping tech has come a long way. Thankfully.
I've never paid a single bit of attention to which way it goes on. I spit into the face of this entire debate and it's never done me any harm to do so. I'm a cat owner too. The roll goes on either way, it's fine, and I'll never change my mind.
The most dangerous phrase is "we've always done it this way".
Toilet paper hanging haphazardly over the front of the roll provides a convenient place for a 3 inch spider to hide between the roll and hanging strip. The patent illustration is clearly meant as a sick joke.
If it's hanging from the other side, there's even more space for a spider to hide outside of view.
Yes this was 1.0, 2.0 improved the tech by going under instead of over. Much more convenient single hand operation as well as pet protection.
Beard not Mullet!
The inventor also said it's "jif", and I ain't saying that either. Also, the patent doesn't indicate whther that's the front view or the back view. It's displaying a roll in a vacuum.
You're right, of course. Patent illustrations traditionally show the item only from behind.
Why is this in c/Lemmy Shitposting?
TP, shitposting.... You don't see the connection?
They believed in a lot of stupid shit back then.
Warning! Normies who can't digest radical ideas, don't click further.
I keep the roll on its side (vertical, with circular face down).
Also, I don't use it to wipe my butt. I have a handheld water shower directing device (a.k.a. health faucet) for that.
I prefer the look of overhand, but the oversize rolls pull better out of my inset holder when it's underhand
Why do we assume that is a frontal view?
Beards are based, mullets are cringe.
