Are westerners being robbed of TP when we get the hollow rolls? Is communism the right path after all?

Here in Vietnam we use the whole toilet paper! That’s 65% more toilet paper per toilet paper!

In China it comes stacked in bags and you pull it out sheet by sheet like paper hand towels or a box of tissues. You can hang the bag up.

Don't go to Russia. Every once in a while you can encounter this atrocity. Yes, it has holes right out of the roll, no perforation whatsoever and not even a hole that you could hang it on and therefore outer layers are always dirty. And, of course, feels like a sandpaper, tears when wiping, but stretches when you actually try to get a piece. Please don't tell me that this exists outside of Russia, that'd be way to much assrash for this world.

Don’t go to Russia.

There's a very tall list of reasons to not go to Russia and their toilet papers isn't very high on it.

Just yesterday I was reminiscing with my wife about how TP rolls used to have no tube when we were children and how hard it was to find the center to put them on the holder.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If I may ask, what country and how long ago was this? I have never really seen this before

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

This exists now in the US at Target. I liked them, actually.

It's so hard to use toilet paper after getting a bidet.

I mean sure, I use TP to double check the bidet did it's job and to dry. But wiping twice as opposed to dealing with a marker butthole has spoiled me.

I meant wiping twice as in I'd bidet, wipe once to dry, wipe twice to confirm clean, and then done. As opposed to marker butthole 😅

You can buy something like this here in the US.

The roll is smaller, and they market it as being made for camping (takes up less space in the pack, etc). It also, of course, costs more because of this, since modern camping gear loves to price gouge.

If you’re going to pack TP though, just spool what you need around something smaller in diameter (like a skewer). Or if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves instead, those are free.

if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves

For those who may not know what they’re doing, I’ve crafted a handy guide:

But what about all the kids crafts and hamster tubes?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

In Brazil I saw a toiled paper that the center was filled with another roll, so you'd need to remove that center to put it in your bathroom and use it as a "portable toilet paper" to carry with you

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

The toilet paper I used in Taiwan was in the form of individual pieces folded up like American tissues for blowing your nose. I even accused my host of making me use tissues, but she showed me that they were actually marketed as toilet paper. Oh, and I couldn't flush them. That was not embarrassing at all.

Dumpin' in the trash can

Shitposting is being taken a little too literally lately

Where do you think all the centers of our TP go?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

They sell them as donut holes near the airport

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago

There are some commercial rolls I've seen in the US that seem to be a happy medium...the holder itself in the stall has a thin plastic rod for the TP to go on, and the rolls have a very small opening in the center (and no cardboard) to go on that rod.

I've been on Lemmy for about a year, so I'm certain that communism is the only right path.

[–] [email protected] 112 points 4 months ago (7 children)

Same, I've installed Arch on my ThinkPad, shaved my legs and put on knee high stockings. I also give every car a middle finger and swear when walking past parking lots. Lemmy has radicalized me in surprising ways.

I fucking hate it. I've lost all my friends because I was just spamming anti AI memes from Lemmy to everyone I knew. They've all blocked me, but I'd like to think they will think twice before "doing AI".

Depends on how many sheets there are per roll, and how many layers.
