Are westerners being robbed of TP when we get the hollow rolls? Is communism the right path after all?
As a household that doesn’t use a toilet paper roller, this would be amazing. I hate throwing away all those empty rolls
Just rip the tube up and use it like a really tick toilet paper
Like a paint scraper
Thanks, I hate it.
I try to find uses for ours where we can. I have a BBQ with a dead sparker so I usually use a half-tube which I light on fire and drop by the burner before turning on the gas
Take dryer lint and stuff it in half a toilet paper roll, then dip it in some melted wax. Makes a great fire starter and you can use stuff you’re gonna throw away anyway.
half-tube
Short cylinder or long half cylinder?
Solid TP rolls are quite common in Asia. Not sure if this is still true, but a lot of public toilets don’t provide toilet paper for fear of people stealing them. You have to bring your own TP, at which point including the cardboard insert takes up too much space to carry around.
I see at least 3 plys.
Food so spicy, the give you a roll of bandages as oilet paper. Parch yourself up.
MEDIC!
Well, first aid for an arterial bleeding is to “stuff a finger in the hole and get the person to lay down on the floor”. I suppose that could still be relevant here… If you have a cock ring I guess you could apply it as a tourniquet
ZE MEDIC IS HIYAAR!
Here in Vietnam we use the whole toilet paper! That’s 65% more toilet paper per toilet paper!
But what about all the kids crafts and hamster tubes?
I’ve been on Lemmy for about a year, so I’m certain that communism is the only right path.
Good man! It also happened to be Vietnams national holiday here yesterday, and so there were national flags and hammer and sickle flags everywhere, festivals, and street performances about Ho Chi Minh and the struggle aganst France, China, US, and TBH i never felt so patriotic for a country not my own!
It’s their Independence Day, September 2nd.
Yes, the night time street festivals and celebrations were amazing in Hanoi and Ninh Binh, Im so lucky I happened to come at this time.
and 2 weeks later will be the Moon Festival. It’s like the whole city is on hallucinogens LOL so many light and colors.
Same, I’ve installed Arch on my ThinkPad, shaved my legs and put on knee high stockings. I also give every car a middle finger and swear when walking past parking lots. Lemmy has radicalized me in surprising ways.
did you libreboot it tho?
and also use framework
But do you hate AI?
I fucking hate it. I’ve lost all my friends because I was just spamming anti AI memes from Lemmy to everyone I knew. They’ve all blocked me, but I’d like to think they will think twice before “doing AI”.
loathe. i loathe ai
Legitimately curious about the stockings. I get all the other jokes in this thread but that one went over my head.
They transed their gender
I like your profile picture.
I appreciate me some Superintendent love. 👍
I’m sorry, the right answer was anarchosyndicalism.
Send this red fascist class traitor to the mines.
toilet paper without cardboard roll centers are much cheaper to produce, though impossible to place in a toilet paper holder, so they sit on the sink, or the floor, or a long nail in the wall
Do they not have holders specifically designed for it? Could just have two rollers that support it from the bottom.
There are plastic containers similar to box tissue but are round with a hole in the middle of the lid. Then you pull the toilet paper from the center of the roll.
We used to have one at home. It’s like a clam shell – the roll sits in the bottom half, the hinged top half closes on top, and the paper is threaded through a wide gap.
Well look at the genius who figured out the sea shells!
Did you model that whole thing just to show us what you meant?
Yep.
That’s awesome dude, nice work! I wish I were this good in blender. I have to use CAD to make my models and then export them to the scene in blender. It’s an annoying workflow but I’m just not good at “traditional” modeling in blender
Tbf I can’t remember the last time I used a toilet paper holder.
you use it to place the roll standing on top
What’s my wife doing on Lemmy wrf
I get my servants to hold one for me while I need it
I mean, it’s own toilet roll, Micheal. What could it cost, 10 dollars?
TBF I can’t remember the last time I used toilet paper.
Bidet shower master race.
they have tp holders for those tubeless rolls. It’s hung on the wall like a box with a slit at the bottom to pull the tp through.
There are some commercial rolls I’ve seen in the US that seem to be a happy medium…the holder itself in the stall has a thin plastic rod for the TP to go on, and the rolls have a very small opening in the center (and no cardboard) to go on that rod.
That’s an option here in Japan, though most don’t use it. I’m pretty sure some people sell that style in the US as well. I use one that has a hole but no cardboard insert.
Just yesterday I was reminiscing with my wife about how TP rolls used to have no tube when we were children and how hard it was to find the center to put them on the holder.
If I may ask, what country and how long ago was this? I have never really seen this before
This exists now in the US at Target. I liked them, actually.
You can buy something like this here in the US.
The roll is smaller, and they market it as being made for camping (takes up less space in the pack, etc). It also, of course, costs more because of this, since modern camping gear loves to price gouge.
If you’re going to pack TP though, just spool what you need around something smaller in diameter (like a skewer). Or if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves instead, those are free.
if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves
For those who may not know what they’re doing, I’ve crafted a handy guide:
Or just use one of these.

With sumac water?
@Allero@lemmy.today - portable bidet. Clever design! Better than many I think:
Do want
Interesting, thanks!
Without that last image for context, I would have assumed you stick the cork part into your butt and poop spaghetti out the other side.
What is this
They have the same thing in China, it’s very confusing.
Life after Zionism
Depends on how many sheets there are per roll, and how many layers.
