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'm finally coming around to this after decades of being steered away from it by The Simpsons (https://youtu.be/CQod276-7Mo?si=F5_Suzq41QAK_Wtg).
This could have saved relationships.
The proper way to hang it, if you have cats, is the other way so they don't bat it all off if the get access. This is why I do not have cats.
My cat has not once tried unraveling a toilet paper roll. He has stolen money before, but he steals shit, so that’s normal. But never toilet paper.
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?
You shouldn't, but the patent office don't care about inventive height and obviousness anymore
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 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.
Patent illustrators show the item in the way that is most useful to describe the patent.
Mounting is not illustrated.
Why is this in c/Lemmy Shitposting?
The patent explains the intended use for that kind of paper.
YUP
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.
People here be discussing the wrong thing, or am I the only one thinking that patenting a roll of paper is incredibly stupid?
It's a damn roll of paper. How much of a genius do you have to be to come up with that? People have been doing it for millennia, the only difference is that it used to be so expensive that no one would think of whipping their butts with it.
The patent was the tp roll but more so the angular serations that terminate short of the center, so a tearable roll of paper rather than a strip role that had to be torn manually or cut
So the innovation that was patented is literally "cut it partway through".
Patents are inherently stupid and only serve to stifle progress. Change my mind or otherwise just downvote away, works as well.
I see we've got some really strong opinions going on here. Just wanna remind everyone to keep it friendly and civil.
And on that note, all you weirdos who place it behind are wrong and I will die on this hill.
Fight me.
People who place it hanging against the wall stand to wipe, like children.
I’m not gonna fight you. My two shitty scheming cats on the other hand…
Look I know how it’s supposed to go but I’m fighting for every square
Looks like some folks don't know how to use the three seashells.
hahahahah ..... I can see how that can be confusing...
The most dangerous phrase is "we've always done it this way".
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.
