Wow this is amazing.
- ffsm8 1y agoWhy do people want to reuse toilet paper rolls? Paper is not a hygienic material, and these are used in a place that's rife with bacteria...
- VBprogrammer 1y agoIf you are worried about this you might want to consider whether you have a healthy degree of concern about hygiene and bacteria. It could be worth speaking with a therapist.
- Gigachad 1y agoIf the bacteria on toilet rolls was an actual problem, toothbrushes would be a much bigger issue than storage tubs.
- Nullabillity 1y agoUsually you don't use your toothbrush while fondling your genitals...
- IlikeKitties 1y agoYou don't know what you are missing but to each their own i guess.
- speedbird 1y agoGot a proper chuckle, TU
- yapyap 1y ago… do you.. use a toilet paper roll for that?
- malfist 1y agoModified wooden toilet roller? Wow. Just wow. I think maybe I've been on fark too long. https://m.fark.com/comments/6611712/Woman-discovers-boyfriend-is-actually-lesbian-sex-offender-Awkward-wpics https://m.fark.com/comments/6611712/Woman-discovers-boyfrien...
- Nullabillity 1y ago..how else would you possibly wipe them?

- eloisant 1y agoThere are way more bacteria in your mouth than on your genitals
- dotancohen 1y agoI feel like invoking the zeroth law of thermodynamics here.
- dotancohen 1y agoThere is an equal amount of bacteria in your mouth and on my genitals.
- gavmor 1y agoI am not personally turned off by the hygiene of toilet paper rolls, but I think any rational adult's Overton Window should accommodate those who are. Your condescension is grossly unwarranted. You don't have to be Adrian Monk to recognize that toilets are unsanitary.
- ffsm8 1y agoEh, it got a chuckle and eye roll outta me so I didn't mind. And fwiw, I don't really care either wherever people use them for whatever they want, I am just still confused why people would want to use paper (sourced from leftover toilet utensils), which is notorious for being basically un-cleanable... as food storage, but to each their own. I'm surprised how many people hate me for such (imo) mellow statement though
- sarchertech 1y agoI definitely wouldn’t want to he any kind of un-cleanable surface as long term food storage. But I don’t think most people are using gridfinity as food storage.
- ffsm8 1y agoI just contextualized it around food storage too, as jot's link has pictures of such (the comment that started this thread). But the article/video we're commenting on doesn't do so, so that's fair I guess?
- function_seven 1y agoThis isn't a food storage thing, but I think I see where you got that idea from the photos in the link. He's showing the types of paperboard that work with his system. Old cereal boxes, coffee filter boxes, etc.
- Spunkie 1y ago> notorious for being basically un-cleanable I don't really think anyone other than OCD/germaphobes thinks about toilet paper rolls in that way and it's certainly not "notorious". I'm pretty sure the general sentiment is that it's a perfectly benign material, often given to kids to play and craft with. The same thing happened with that episode of mythbusters about the toilet ploom from flushing. A bunch of OCD/germaphobes lost their minds and have not stopped thinking about it since. Meanwhile the rest of society gave a collective shrug and couldn't even be bothered to move their toothbrush brush to another room or close the toilet lid while flushing.
- bjackman 1y agoIIUC this is also true of most 3D-print materials. You should not be using Gridfinity to store food! This is also why you usually shouldn't 3D print a dildo. This would be true even if the materials were food safe to be honest, I don't see how you can keep something like this clean. It's for storing stuff like capacitors and screws and electrical tape.
- lrvick 1y agoBut, importantly, you can 3D print a dildo mold.
- bobsmooth 1y agoThe layer lines will show up in the silicone.
- cassianoleal 1y agoThat’s called ribbing and it’s a feature.
- peterpost2 1y agoYou could lightly sand it before using it as mold, would lessen that issue.
- lrvick 1y agoOr a little bit of alcohol vapor smoothing if you print the mold with ASA

- diggan 1y ago> Why do people want to reuse toilet paper rolls? Because some of us have like 200 cables, and toilet paper rolls is a cheap but effective way of getting some control over these :) And besides, I'm sure that my fingers and feet are more dirty when I touch/move any of the cables, than the toilet paper rolls that spent a couple of days in a bathroom.
- cassianoleal 1y agoYou go through a roll in a couple days?
- nython 1y agoStore your food in PLA containers and you can too
- diggan 1y agoI'm not sure if you're trying to say that's a lot or little? But yeah, each roll might survive 3-4 days at most I'd guess, but honestly can't say I've ever measured. We're two people (me and my wife) in the household fwiw.
- Faaak 1y agoIt las us (household of two also) at least a week. I've found out in the past that I used way too much out of habit. Also for some reason triple ply needs less paper
- cassianoleal 1y agoFeels like a lot. Even 3-4 days does. I'm not judging though! In my household with 3 adults, we go through maybe a roll every 2 weeks or so. It's almost exclusively used for number 2 business though, so maybe that accounts for some of that difference. Or, we just use very different types of paper, and yours require more of it for the same effect. :)
- mrbigbob 1y agomight i suggest purchasing a bidet. you can get one for less than $50 on amazon and it will help you dramatically cut down on toilet paper. it also makes you feel so much cleaner. my two cents
- therealpygon 1y agoYou mean like a phone, that you later stick up to your face? I’m sure someone will chime in with how they “never use their phone in the bathroom”, which no one will believe.
- allknowingfrog 1y agoI worry about the digestive health of people who use phones in the bathroom. I go in there for a specific job, which I focus on until completion. I never get bored enough to start looking for other things to do.
- bluGill 1y agoReduce reuse recycle. They are looking for a step two- hopefully they already have bidet, but paper is still useful for drying after.
- linsomniac 1y agoMaybe paper towel rolls then?
