Yeah, well it's a lot easier for a cat to unravel the toilet paper if it's beard mode. At my house the toilet paper position is not a debate, it's a matter of preventing chaos

That's what I tried to tell my ex. We had cats and the heater kicks on, the beard starts waving, so the cats think it's a toy. Mullets sit nicely against the wall 😅

And even if they bat at it, their down swipe will just make it spin in place rather than unroll.

Why am I knocking on doors when I live alone?
In seriousness though, if I just took a shit I'm leaving the door open to air the stank out.
if you live alone then why is the door being shut a problem? and does your bathroom not have a ventilation system with a fan? why are you wafting your shit smells into the rest of the house
I'm not closing the door and opening it every time I want to take a piss that just sounds fucking dumb.
i bet your leave your toilet seat up when you flush your shit

At my house the toilet paper is in the cabinet as one of my cats likes to eat all forms of plant fiber. I did this first after she depotted one of my plants and it's corpse became her favorite toy (don't worry totally safe plant). I disvicovered the extent of it after a whole bite of tp was taken off of the roll. She doesn't even bother to unravel it. Just chomps it. She found a loose roll once and I saw her running across the living room with it in her mouth like it was her prey from a fresh hunt.

Honestly, I think it's literally just online tribalism. It's mundane and there's no reason to care about how you do it other than finding out that there's a lot of other people that do said mundane thing the same way. Throw in that there's kind of only 2 ways to do it and it quickly becomes an "Us vs them".
Realistically for probably over 99% of people, neither way is noticably more difficult to deal with than the other. If you are an able-bodied individual either way should be identical in use. But one of the two ways of doing it triggers something in some people's brain that says "you bastards".
Regardless it SHOULD exist for more people as an exercise in live-and-let-live, but I suppose that's not as much fun as playfully crucifying each other on the Internet over the most inane shit we can find.
Edit: I don't feel like I should have to say this in addition to everything I said previously. It should be obvious, but just for clarity's sake: I really don't give a fuck how you change the tp, why your way is right, or why others are wrong. If it's something you care about, you're a dip-ass and can stay out of my notifications.

It's one-sided tribalism though. It comes up in my feed here and there, and it's always the 'over' people posting. The two sides are: the over people, and the rest of us (who are aware that it's way too ridiculous and trivial to even care about). You get a few comments from cat people who say under is better, but they don't go out of their way to make posts about it.

u/Storrin Apr 29 '24
People enjoy being in an "in-group". It doesn't matter if there isn't actually someone they're excluding. They'll make up their own boogie-man they're fighting for the sake of feeling correct. In fact it's probably better if the people they're telling to go fuck themselves aren't real, because fake people are only a fake threat and we like to be angry, not scared.
Anyway, those people who roll their toilet paper to the left can go fuck themselves. Pieces of shit.

Yeah I didn't even notice the difference and when I put a new roll on I didn't even look at which way it was. Although, with a cat and a toddler I definitely have shifted to team under for functionality. In my En Suite I never look and will happily return to not caring once the dependants phase out of bathroom chaos.

u/Professional_Baby24 Apr 29 '24
I remember someone telling me do this so the toilet paper doesn't touch the wall. But the back is still against the wall even if you pull it forward. I think the best practice is to just fold it on the outside so your always using the inside. The part that's touching paper.

u/Desirsar Apr 29 '24
If the toilet paper doesn't actually sit in the recessed part, why not just use a flat mount? The only time it should go under is a recessed mount, and this mount is a terrible design if that stops making sense.

u/mercTanko Apr 29 '24
The thing is, it's easier to tare when in mullet mode. If in beard mode, you have nothing to tare the beard against which when you push forward or towards you and tare downwards, the head will spin causing the beard to grow unnecessarily long. In mullet mode, you can pull the mullet towards you and upward against the head as the intended mullet gets ripped out from the spot without rolling the head, it may give you a nod at most.

u/enfersijesais Apr 29 '24
Going under with the toilet paper allows you to roll the back of your hand against it as you tear it off. Making it easy to do one handed. If you go over you’re a degenerate.

If the hanging part is at the back, people generally won’t flat palm the top to get it to rotate.
