A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

There's a reason why some people hang toilet paper over while others hang it under - it has to do with folding, and they don't want the paper to hurt (lemmy.today)

The+One+And+Only+Correct+Way+To+Hang+Your+Toilet+Paper-3048017586

I just had two different rolls of toilet paper sitting in my bathroom, and looking at them from the shower I got an epiphany.

Some rolls are soft on both sides, while some only on external one!

And if you have the latter and tend to rip two squares and fold (and it's easier to fold downside up), if you hang it over you'll end up with the rough side!

Those people just don't want to hurt their bums! All while the rest enjoys more easy access to toilet paper while hanging it over.

Endless debate...solved?

Uh... What? Are you sure that's toilet paper and not sand paper you're thinking of?

Yes, toilet paper. Quite some rolls are more rough on one side - not sandpaper rough, but still enough to potentially cause irritation on the gentle skin adjacent to anus.

Like a kitchen sponge, you need that abrasive side to scrape off the shit that you missed last time and is now crusted in between your cheeks
