You can tell how old it is by counting the rings
You can tell it’s a roller paper roll by the way that it is
I’ve been doing this for some time now. I’m excited to know I’m not the only one.
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.
“Wow, this guy shits a lot 😍”
Whoa. Impressive.
Okay, but what’s your record??
20, approximately
AW FUCK YEAH. That’s a lotta tubes!
God help us if the Russians ever acquire this technology.
Bold of you to assume there’s enough toilet paper to engage in this, considering that USSR didn’t manufacture toilet paper until 1969.
Still plenty of assholes, particularly in the Russian government.
Are you posting the most recent one into the middle, or squooshing them up to fit them inside the most recent one?
The latter
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
Trying to rebuild the tree, eh?
It would take me 2 years to get that many empty rolls.
Washing asshole FTW.
My wife goes through twelve rolls in a week.
If your wife only had 12 rolls, I’d be surprised.
You shouldn’t speak to your dad like that.
Tell your wife she uses an entire tree every 2 years. Maybe you should just use the hose on her?
It uses less paper on its skin, or else it gets the hose again.
That’s rookie numbers…
I’m just saying a hose would probably get the maggots off better.
But then they wouldn’t be the SatansMaggotyCumFart we know and love.
Household of 6 here. My GF and 4 kids. There’s usually a roll almost every day.
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.
They’re all the same size here.
I love this community. All the strange things us dull men get up to.
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.
Be sure to post it. I’m curious to see how it works out.
What do you do with the rolls after?
Wipe
Scoop*
Paper trash
Plant in pot with rooting hormone to grow your own TP tree for COVID25
that’s pretty cool actually
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.
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.
Assuming each roll is a perfect cylinder and not conical at all.
-
I bet if you soaked that in wax or something it would make a great firestarter.
I use empty toilet paper rolls stuffed with lint from the dryer as firestarters.
