When you're stuck using one-ply toilet paper, then your finger tears through it while you're wiping your hoop, and you get some poo on it!

It should be a minimum of two-ply, you philistines!

Toilet paper comes off the roll in a nominal 'North / South' direction right,
Rip off sheet 1 N/S.
Rip off sheet 2 rotate it 90degrees so its now E / W
Next sheet goes N /S
and so on, using as many or as few (3 minimum) as trial and error shows is required

Lamination is now your finger's new best friend, no more unintentional stink finger and Roberts your Mar's Brother

Now why didn’t I think of that

Now why didn’t I think of that

My 4 yrs study of Materials and Engineering Practices has finally paid off.
Edit: @Runub paper, fibre, wood etc have a 'direction of grain' - tear it one way...usually longitudinally...and it rips in straight ish strip's, tear it the other way and its all over the place

Duly noted, my man.

Where did this happen?

A supermarket in NZ but pretty much the carbon copy has happened in M&S and Tesco in the UK where she’s not had ID (she’s older than me).

I’d totally get it if we somehow looked under 25 but we absolutely dont

I recently rewatched Interstellar and it got me a bit curious about timespace, velocity and relativity, time dilation and all that gubbins.

After watching a few very good videos I kind of get it but it's really irritating with it being so counter-intuitive to ordinary life. There's that part of me that wants to reject stuff like Length and Time contraction as made up to fit an incorrect theory around light rather than admit to myself I'm too stupid to grasp it.

And I'm definitely too stupid to grasp it. Fuming.

Don't worry yourself, it's all an illusion anyway

So was Quantum leap a fictional programme then?
