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.
Sending this to my neurotic wife. It’s going to bother her now.
Thank you. I’m glad I could help
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.
Someday if you ever live with another person you’ll figure it out.
I’m happily married. Has never once been an issue.
Is your SO also a “super cool edge lord that bucks the trends of society”? Because you’re just so cool?
Nothing about being an edgelord or cool. Its just not a thing that’s ever been an issue in any relationship, even ones I fucked up. It’s not even a thing I ever once heard talked about anywhere aside from the internet. It’s just a shit post argument that doesn’t matter, regardless of how you do it. Just an empty little thing people like fighting about online for whatever reason. That’s what I spit into the face of.
Wtf says things like “spit in the face of”, and the other cring phrases you use.
Be better.Nah. I’ll be as cringe as I please. Don’t need your permission.
Not for you…
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.
it’s amazing how much patent illustrations and my pornography have in common.
Patent illustrators show the item in the way that is most useful to describe the patent.
Mounting is not illustrated.
Wait. So if this i patented but has no specification about hanging it the other way, would that mean that one could patent toilet paper again, but hanging the other way?
I don’t believe so. They will only award a new patent if yours is meaningfully different from previous technologies. I would suspect they would deem the other direction “not a meaningful difference.”
The internet disagrees.
You shouldn’t, but the patent office don’t care about inventive height and obviousness anymore
It’s halfway 2024 it’s time to move on to bidets.
I use a bidet, I still need TP to clean up after the water does the job.
I know fancy bidets exist that will blow dry your arae, but what do I look like? A rich person? We got ours from Amazon for like $20.
TP use is way down, but it’s still needed in many cases.
You use toilet paper to dry off? Why not a towel?
A bidet ain’t 100% clean. Sometimes there is small residue which you notice when you dry with toilet paper. I got a handheld bidet btw and since installing it 10y ago I really hate pooping without.
In our culture we use soap and water to clean our asses after pooping. So a bidet+soap match made in heaven.
Before bidets we use a dipper to scoop water.
In our culture we just put in a new asshole every time we poop problem solved.
Scoop water from where‽
From a big bucket near the toilet.
Thank you for clarifying. My mind immediately jumped to “scooping water from the toilet bowl”. Glad this was not the case.
I just sit there and browse Lemmy while I wait for my ass to dry out. 😀
Based and Hygiene Pilled
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.
Well, that spider is in for a hell of a ride.
Weeeeee
Just use water lmfao
I use both toilet paper and water
Beard not Mullet!
Thats the ‘cat free house’ way.
Eh. I taught my 2 cats to not touch it. It’s not difficult.
I have had many cats and have never had a problem with them grabbing the toilet paper.
HOW‽ If I could I would
Honestly I sometimes wonder how I did it, because my cats listen to me and rarely do something I don’t want them to.
Im firm with them, never loud, never hit them or push them. Consistency might be the key. Always tell them no the same way, as many times as it takes. I’ll give them something else to play with if they’re ripping something up too.
They’re smart, if you spend the time with them.
Exactly this. Had a friend struggling to teach a kitten. He had the habit of sounding stern, but not following through, simply pointing like a threat. It even confused me, let alone the cat
Within 1 hour of me consistenly spraying the kitten with water and using the same tone, the kitten started to hesitate when wanting to jump on the counter. It learned not to do so quickly after that.
I had cats my whole life and never had this happen.
Not the best patent to use if you want to settle the debate. This one from Wheeler is the nail in the coffin: patent
It also shows why it was over and not under as at the time, the TP holder was a hanging wire, which kept the paper against the wall. Not protruding out like todays hangers.
Good find
Not that the over/under debate was even a thing, but this should convince those diehard lunatics not to hang their TP improperly!
They didn’t own a cat and it shows.
I have four in the house and none of them screw with our tp.
You just have a cat that’s more of an asshole than usual.
I’ve had cats my whole life and have never had one mess with my properly placed toilet paper.
I prefer the look of overhand, but the oversize rolls pull better out of my inset holder when it’s underhand

I accept the wrong way if, and only if, the wrongifier has cats.
Toddlers do the thing too
I have cats and would never have the audacity to do something as vulgar as that.
Agreed. My cat would never dare put the roll on the wrong way.
I can’t blame that cat. I been watching this for ten minutes and the roll never ends!
Sure, that’s great and so, but the creator of the Gif says the wrong way to say it so… the creator is not always right.
Well saying it the wrong way sounds too much like gift. How often are you talking about Jiff peanut butter?
As a choosey mom, you would be surprised how often it comes up.
~fuck you, Skippy~
As a Canadian in the UK…like at least once a month
Just to make sure to not take sides, I pronounce the ‘g’ as in ‘design’
I guess it’s fine gif you want to say it like that
