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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  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

It doesn't bother me, I'm of the opinion you should wipe until you see blood either way.

I've worked for very large organizations (30k+ employees) that didn't use crappy paper.

All depends on the company.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 points 21 hours ago

I haven't worked anywhere that does this since about 1995.

I used to work field service. I would drive all around and fix machines. If i used the customers restroom, and they had single ply TP, or the auto-magic paper towel dispensor spit out 6 inches, i knew that company was a bad place to work.

I use that stuff at home because we have old pipes and a bidet. Only need the TP to dry off anyway.

Seems like a hanlons razor kind of thing

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I never watched Battlestar Galactica.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Maybe this also ..

Lol, did you google that wrong and get the BSG episode titled "Razor" ?

[–] Vladkar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Hanlon was an exceptionally clumsy Gold who had a habit of murdering lowColors with his razor by mistake.

If the office doesn't have a bidet I'm not going!

my previous job, years ago. the receptionist did the supplies buying.. she was no dummy. got the good stuff for 'her' restroom--the one she and us peons used. boss was prohibited from entry, as he had his own nobody else would dare use after his building-clearing toxic dumps. i'll say one thing. he was regular af, every fucking day 2pm. it was time to take a break and clear the area.

a bidet a better investment

Edit: A sports water bottle can provide a strong stream of water. That's all I going to say

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You should also say that you can buy a small cap sized bidet for that water bottle to bring in your pocket for inconspicuous use

[–] dudeami0@lemmy.dudeami.win 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, that's something I learned today, didn't know these were a thing.

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago

It’s a thing for the hiker crowd. Weighs less than bringing TP

Unpopular opinion: I prefer single ply.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 20 hours ago

My old roommate loved single ply. He thought the soft thicker paper was not worth it.

single ply is perfectly fine for drying

Bring your own toilet paper.
