      What an impressive collection, one day it might be worth a fortune!

      With enough of those you could probably do some kind of epoxy pour and make a cool end table top.

      Guests will be impressed by the amount you have pooped in the past.

      Bold of you to assume there’s enough toilet paper to engage in this, considering that USSR didn’t manufacture toilet paper until 1969.

    Are you posting the most recent one into the middle, or squooshing them up to fit them inside the most recent one?

        You might be able to switch to the first strategy and reach 13. I have done plenty of this myself but not sure what my record was anymore

    It would take me 2 years to get that many empty rolls.

        I know you’d probably have an uphill battle with people that aren’t used to it, but I wish my parents had started us on it when I was a kid. I picked up one of those nozzles you attach on the toilet supply line and hang from the side of the tank, and it was a game changer.

        I always go back to that scene in Parks and Rec where Andy talks about wiping his ass being like it’s a felt marker, it never seems to run out…

          I bought a Luxe 320 Plus off Amazon and use maybe 1 roll a year. Get a bidet people it’s cheap and is air fryer levels of life changing.

    have you found the ones with different sized paper cores? one time a few years ago, i had one inside another inside a third, they just slid over each other.

    You could fit more by adding more folding points. Fold Vs around the first one, like a multi-pointed star, and repeat.

      Yup, that’s why 12 became the limit. On my current one, I’ve made sure to kink that “tip” in the middle to allow for folding once I get to 9 or so, which is why I’m hoping my current one becomes the new record.

    There’s gotta be some math theorem about this.
    What would this fall under, topology I’m guessing?

      Probably just fairly bog standard geometry combined with some material science/engineering on the physical properties of the cardboard (such as how much it can compress/stretch)

      • Geometry: this problem more or less boils down to a 2d analysis since we need merely to look at a circular cross section. You could calculate the area each roll takes up by calculating the outer circle area minus the hole’s area, then divide the hole area by the ring’s area to get a theoretical maximum. This is assuming the material cannot stretch or compress. Not sure if this has a name, but it probably does.

      • Material science: Maybe you could measure the dimensions of a roll, stress test it in various ways, and re-measure the new dimensions to get a profile of how the cardboard warps. You could use that to get a better estimation of how much cardboard you can stuff into itself, but I’m not as sure on the details there.

    My first long term partner taught me this trick, and consequently many little lessons on how to enjoy a life. Nice to see others appreciating the dull side of life.

      I use empty toilet paper rolls stuffed with lint from the dryer as firestarters.
