    Bro fr I dunno why places even try saving money on that 1-ply bullshit; I’m just gonna keep folding until I’m working with 20-ply at that point and guarantee use more total paper overall

      Supposedly it’s to make it so that no one wants to steal it, which I guess is a problem in some parts of the world where even shitty toilet paper is coveted.

        I’m not sure it’s stealing that’s a primary concern. It’s probably more that single ply doesn’t clog very often, even when using a ton of paper. It’s easier to flush, especially in a commercial type environment with high pressure flushing toilets. Which means less need for EVS to clean up issues, either intentional or not.

          Poor enough to prefer to shit at work when I can get paid for it and not use up my own TP, but rich enough to buy decent TP for myself at home.

          The early COVID times were another matter.

      I have one use case that actually makes sense. In one of the facilities I work in my desk is in the founders old house from the 1970s and for some reason the waste plumbing is too shallow and at too little of an angle into the main that it freezes and gets backed up every year. Because of the cost to fix it, and because there’s probably a reason that it’s wrong to begin with (everyone that would know is dead now), we use single ply in that building during the cold months because it breaks down easier.

      At home, sure, but not available anywhere else I go. And as they say, “my boss makes a dollar and I make a dime…”

        Do what I did…
        Buy a 3d printer.
        Design and print a funnel that can clip under the rim of any toilet that diverts some of the water up your arse.
        Do the poopiest of poops.
        Clip the AnywayBidet™ on to the toilet.
        Flush toilet.
        And, BOOM, you now know why I’m banned from every ikea in the UK.

        Ok, maybe I should’ve tried it in the actual toilets rather than the showroom area. Either way the AnywayBidet™ is a surefire way to get people talking!!

        Wet wipes make do. Not a perfect approximation by any means, but better than dry wiping with what feels like a wad of sandpaper

        That was a poem for a simpler time.

        And now my boss makes a grand
        And I don’t see one cent
        And he’s got employees
        That can’t pay the rent

    I’ve been repeating that since my teens.

    Personally I prefer Cottonelle Ultra Comfort, but since I got a bidet, the finger stays super clean and fresh smelling.
