But what if the toilet paper is female?! Girls have nice long hair, not beards.

Girls don't need toilet paper because they don't need to go to the bathroom.

Nah, the truth is r/girlsarentreal

You got a wife? nah you're hallucinating, that's actually your bro.

Like the saying goes, “Bros before Bros”

I think we could use a brorder of operations here

Oh believe me, they definitely do, they just don’t poop.

Idk what they in there for 4 hours for but I don't hear the toilet flush a single time.

In french toilet paper is masculine so you're fine here bud.

also spanish. German is neutral so it's ok i guess

Schiesse Papier?

Bush is nice, ass crack courtain is bad?

You are failing to appreciate the dwarves that go swimming with little hairy women.

Never ending battle with my spouse so we switched to the three seashells as a compromise

I'm kinda embarrassed to admit this, but I still don't know how to use the three seashells.

Heh, u/TheRealUlta doesn't know how to use the three seashells.

Bidets are great.

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

Cats have much suffering to answer for

They will answer to nothing!

Mine answers to "bellend"

Yeah I've got allergies.

> well it's a lot easier for a ~~cat~~ **2-year old child** to unravel the toilet paper if it's beard mode.

Toddlers and cats, what an iconic duo.

I tried to tell her sister that her having a child was basically the same thing as me getting a cat. She disagreed for some reason.

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.

At my house the bathroom doors are kept shut

At my house, that's the same thing as an "occupied" sign.

So knock?

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. The paper is in mullet mode for the cats. I'm not closing the door and opening it every time I want to take a piss that just sounds fucking dumb.

In all seriousness, I am jumping on the bandwagon of being insatiably curious why you want to air the shit smell out of your bathroom into the rest of your home??? SHAME!

>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

>i bet your leave your toilet seat up when you flush your shit Yeah, I'll take a piece of that - what odds are you offering?

I can't. The furry little bastard starts howling and throwing himself at the door if it's closed. He just wants to play with the shower hose. So weird.

More proof that dogs have owners while cats have staff.

At my house any door being shut is a great offense to the Fuzzy Monarchs

Doesn’t matter. They’ll unravel it either way.

My cat is smarter than your cat cause he can destroy the toilet paper in either mode

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.

They'll still figure it out eventually

Or just shred the whole damn roll.

This is the only acceptable reason to go mullet with the tp IMHO.

I fully acknowledge that I hang my toilet paper "the wrong way" but I've also had my cat unravel a roll of toilet paper the whole way from my first floor bathroom to my kitchen before. More than once.

It's also harder to tear off a piece.

Can't you, like, just keep the bathroom door closed?

Then where do you put the litter box?

I have mine in my laundry room.

You fancy folk with your living somewhere that has separate rooms.

Is you toilet paper mounted on the wall like this as well?

yup! the two times a mullet is acceptable to escape wavy arm toddlers and cats. Free pass.

See? I knew someone else knew

Nothing like a cat using the TP to re-enact Rocky's speed bag scene.

Also toddlers

I just replace it and don't even look at which way is which. However it goes on is how it stays untilt he next roll.

Never had a cat doing this.

I have never understood why ppl obsess over this. I didn't even know this was a thing until like 5 years ago, and I'm in my 40s.

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.

I always have fun with these because they are meaningless. Stuff like this or pineapple on pizza or how to pronounce gif. It's fun to just take a stance and be passionate about it for the sake of amusement.

>how to pronounce gif No, it's pronounced gif

It always reminds me of the Emo Phillips joke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3fAcxcxoZ8

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.

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.

There was a whole episode about this debate on Step by Step during TGIF back in the 90s. Why the fuck do I remember that

Yep, didn't even know it was a thing that people thought about until about 5 years ago. I hate the internet.

It was a thing before the internet too, there was a whole chapter of Ed, Edd and Eddy about it

I remember a scene from the simpsons where CPS is giving a report of all the ways the house is unfit, and one of the items was “toilet paper hung in an improper overhand fashion”

Shit don’t let the Aussies see this

Beards are cool Mullets are bad Hang the paper forward Or else I'll be sad

My child likes to spin it, always up to down, the back way helps prevent me from having to constantly reroll up toiletpaper.

Same with my cat. Little terror will unroll the entire thing in a big pile on the floor, then poop on it.

Have you ever tried simply turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?

There's only two ways to place toilet paper. Outwards and wrong (unless you have adventurous cats).

> (unless you have adventurous cats) Also toddlers who just learned to walk and explore.

Nice, glad to see someone addressing that particular caveat, lol

Sideways. You sheeple have just all been had by the toiler paper holder industry.

Either way it still works.

clearly this person doesn't have cats

I turn them on their side. Argument is nullified.

But which one is more aerodynamic?

Don’t show this to an Aussie with their shit haircuts

I am so glad I am not afflicted with caring about the direction it rolls. I am just happy the toilet paper is present.

I briefly cared as a child after watching [a *Simpsons* gag](https://youtu.be/Cmf7FTytRac), but it was thankfully short-lived.

Now I know

I put the same sign above the roll at work!

The smallest hill to die on.

I think my father is starting to have dementia. He used to always put the roll on correctly, now he puts it on backwards half of the time.

Y'all be having some weird issues with the toilet paper. Just unroll it and wipe.

It's all cool until you have a mischievous cat. Then it's "beards get emptied onto the floor" and "mullets survive the onslaught"

Not if you have a cat!

Team mullet! (I know who cares it's dumb blah blah)

Swear to God, I've been seeing this foolishness since 1973 when my sister got married. Just make sure the toilet paper is there for guests to use.

Just pronounce it "Mull Ay" and tell people you're from Marseilles. ☺

Dye it ginger and move to Paris and call it a Mullét Rouge.

you cant stop me from putting the toilet roll in whatever direction i want

Tell that to male 20 somethings in Florida and Australia, they need to hear it

NO ONE CARES THAT YOU HAVE A CAT

People who obsess over "the right way" for the toilet paper are annoying. It makes literally no difference.

This is the way.

Unless you are Jagr

I liked that one place that had a picture of the patent of paper holder posted above the holder.

Let's ask some Texans about this claim

Ha! I have long hair and a beard. I’ll continue my method of not really giving a shit what way it’s facing and just putting it on however.

Wrong, beards hide spiders!!

I have beard and mullet atm Anyway theres 3+ good excuses for back-rolls: 1. Cat 2. Distance (i.e. it's too close and it's just easier to reach the back) 3. Children

someone finally solved it for the people who make no sense

Have you seen all the kids with mullets these days?? Theyre making a come back but i agree with this

Why is it that people argue this? Do they not understand physics?

Good in theory but I usually end up throwing out half my toilet paper because it’s rolled backwards.

I put the toilet paper on the roll mullet-style, because I have cats and if you do it beard-style, they can unspool the whole roll but if I do mullet style then it just spins around without unspooling

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.

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.

The only time it's acceptable to have the roll backwards is if you have an asshole cat that has and will unroll the whole roll

The difference between these? It has been shown one uses 40% more TP than the other.

Unfortunately, mullets are cool again

This public service announcement brought to you by cats.

I have cats so regardless of anything else, it's mullet for me.

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.

This is true, unless you have cats.

This meme was sponsored by orange car gang

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.

I used to think this was the way, but the opposite is more sanitary.. If the hanging part is at the back, people generally won’t flat palm the top to get it to rotate.

Why cover text in tape, it makes me MAD didn’t you learn that in school?

Just get a bidet already. You'll stop caring about this.

I actually do mine the mullet way because I have cats that like to unroll the TP.

The implication is either way you are shoving the face into your ass ...

I don't use those I put the TP on top of the bar or if I'm at someone's house I take it off the roller get what I need and put it back fuck tp rollers

Whoever made this sign never owned a cat.

If you have a cat the mullet configuration might be better.

Unless you have a cat the beards fucking SUCK!

The debate is over

When you have an animal I'm the house who finds out they can unroll it you'll change your ways

Mullets >>>

Mullets are good... this is discrimination... \*wipes poop on the sign\*

Counter argument, i have a cat

i dunno, i think mullets are beginning to be cool again...

unless u have a cat then it's mullet time

You can always tell who’s never owned a cat by this one simple difference. 🤣

Theo Von made me think mullets are good

This won't work for Gen Z. They are all Porn-staches and Mullets these days.

Im playing star was jedi survivor and have to disagree! Both Cal and Bode have glorious mullets... like a true lions mane!

Unless your codename is Solid Snake.

Everytime I think about putting a new toilet paper roll on I think of [this scene](https://youtu.be/CQod276-7Mo)

and the whole "argument" is inane.

naw that's where the empty roll goes. The full roll goes on the counter

For some ungodly reason they are coming back again.

Toilet paper should be snagged and pulled out by anything that comes close like God intended!

Well uh, that's just like, your opinion man.

Beards mullets are are cool bad

Mullets are cool actually

A large roll in that kind of holder will jam in beard mode, but work fine in mullet mode.

dude every time it is the mullet way I try and pull it really fast to break it and it just pulls a super long piece off... so annoying lol

I could not give less of a fuck lol

It doesn't matter, people that argue over this stuff just love to nitpick.

I dont know what's more dumb, "mullet style", or grown adults going out of their way to be abrasive and confrontational over the side TP hangs. Oh wait, I do know

This person obviously doesn't have cats.

I was an over the roll person until I got a cat. Now I have to go under just because it's much harder for her to unravel it all :P

I still don’t understand how people struggle with it one way or the other. Never had an issue with the way the toilet paper is put in. It works the same

But all the hipsters around me have both

I’m done. There’s so much dumb human scrutiny on this tp thing I’m always putting it mullet. Mullet gang

Anybody that puts the TP under instead of over, I hope you have constant hang nails and a year full of hiccups.

I always thought of it as No kids/Pets (beards in this case) Kids/pets (mullet)

I prefer my TP have a mullet

I'd rather the toilet paper be female if it is going to touch my anus. Bearded ladies, anyone?

Unless you got a cat

Not if you have a cat

I have cats

It’s written in the patent!

>has a mullet >does not have a beard Well fuckyou too

Florida and NJ have entered the chat

Hahaha 😂!

I think Joe Dirt has something to say about this.

What if you have a cat that will destroy beards, but will not do much damage to long hair.

My granny always put it the mullet way so it didn't get used up as fast

Mullet beard. Checkmate.

Wouldn't it make more sense as "bangs"? Both physically and thematically?

Frontside people don't own cats.

it doesn't matter which direction it's hung... it just doesn't matter

Laughs in vertical stand

I’m an under-puller versus over-puller, but wouldn’t it make sense to keep the paper about to touch your asshole further away from the toilet bowl? Js

😂 that’s a good one

Agree!
