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."
I like how it just looks like a log being shaved into extremely thin sheets.
The original toilet paper was pretty much that, from what I understand.
IDK for sure, not like I'm some toilet paper historian.
They didn't own a cat and it shows.
I've had cats my whole life and have never had one mess with my properly placed toilet paper.
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.
Ass wiping tech has come a long way. Thankfully.
What the fuck were they doing for toilet paper before 1891?
This post sent me down a rabbit hole.

The funniest one is the Japanese “chuugi”, translated to “shit stick”.
As absolutely batshit crazy the world is right now, it's important to reflect on what we do have. And thankfully it's advanced beyond shit sticks.
I mount mine vertically so nyah
Beard not Mullet!
They believed in a lot of stupid shit back then.
This could have saved relationships.
Why is this in c/Lemmy Shitposting?
TP, shitposting.... You don't see the connection?
The most dangerous phrase is "we've always done it this way".
