I just got into a little spat with my friends fiance because she intellectually offloads with AI.
I stand by it.
The number of people I know who now ask AI instead of web searching is… very upsetting.
Doesn’t help that web search is shit nowadays
That might be intentional and also coz of the shitty ai blog/info sites
If you search Google just serves you their AI shit. The other day their AI told me the word “rainy” has 4 letters.
It’s does have 4 letters. It has 5 letters too.
Yesterday I googled: Hardware store “City Name”. It only returned stores from a different city. So I googled: Hardware store “City Name City Name City Name” and it returned a single one for every result
Google search has got so bad in the last couple of years that I actually don’t blame people for using AI for this.
Theres actually a secret third option
Poop at work, get paid while pooping and use free tp.
Their tp is all scratchy and thin though…
Fold it 35 times
And now you have 35 papercuts and shit on your hand
And the toilet’s clogged. Now where are you gonna hide away and procrastinate?
Incorrect, I would rather die before asking Chat GPT anything
Two ply 70¢ / (330/2) = 0.42 ¢
Three ply 120¢ / 300 = 0.4 ¢
Basically the same.
No, that is roughly 5 wipes more per roll
You meant 3 not one but I get you.
You’d think we would buy a bidet
Corrected thanks.
You guys don’t have unit pricing? In Australia it’s required by law that supermarkets show price per standard unit of measurement so you can easily compare
We do! What’s really helpful is many products of the same category are in different units. One will be per sheet, one per roll, one per 100 sheets, one per 500 sheets… and then the true thickness is completely different, so 1 ply for one brand will hold up ok while another will start disintegrating the moment you pull it off the roll. Do you feel free yet?
I don’t think unit counts account for what ply the toilet paper is.
I always check that but have found a couple instances where the math did not work out. Either it was wrong on purpose or by accident
That comes out to 0.004242 per doubled-up 2-ply sheet vs 0.004 per 3-ply sheet
This actually isn’t too hard to solve. Double the value of each option by removing the folding requirement from the 2-ply and halving the price of the 3-ply to get an even comparison of 2-ply (330 sheets for $0.70) and 3-ply (300 sheets for $0.60), then recognize that it’s not worth adding 1/6 the price for 1/10th the sheets, to see that the 3-ply option is better.
Not folding 3-ply is asking for added expenses in the form of water and soap though… Push right through em
The ply count doesn’t reflect thickness or softness at all. Of the 3-ply toilet papers I’ve used at home, some need three layers to not fall apart on the first wipe, others are fine with a single sheet.
It hurts my brain to do it that way.
300 sheets for 1.2 is a nice division by .6: 500 sheets for $2. So now all we gotta do is multiply by .7 to get 350 sheets for 1.40.
Considering the fold, we are at 330 effective sheets for 1.40. 350 > 330, get the 3 ply (lol).
This is a little bit funky obviously and just works because of seeing a divisor. If not for that I would have tried once each way to get cost per full effective sheet or cost per half effective sheet to see which one has nicer numbers.
… Or just open the calculator app.
A nice division by 0.6
Funny how brains can work so differently lol
I’ve had the calculator open for 15 minutes but nothing is happening, is it broken? Help?
But we need to take into account that the folded 2 ply becomes an effective 4 ply, so you’re getting more ply per penny
“You’ve spent 3x the theoretical savings asking me this question”
Over what time period though?
Butt sprayer ftw
I shit and shower at work, not simultaneously though
Tap for spoiler
most of the time
I use less of the single ply than the double ply. I think I make it 1.5 ply thick, or something. Anyway, I don’t want a bidet, you guys have fun with that.
Wait, you are not telling me you use a single 3 layer piece to wipe, are you?
Everyone has different purposes. Some are dabbing away urine, some are drying their selves after using a bidet, some are cleaning the walls after MAHA “fixed” our lettuce situation.
Sometimes if it’s clean
I’m living the dream with wet wipes.
Just don’t flush them. They ruin septic tank and clog city sewer pumps and drains, especially if they mix with fats or grease, which also shouldn’t be flushed or put down drains.
They’re specifically flushable wipes, not actual wetwipes brand.
No wipes are actually flushable.

There exist flushable wipes that disolve in water but the issue is finding them.
Interesting, although frustratingly it didn’t actually tell me what to watch out for. Just saying “no” to an entire product category seems like an excessively large hammer
Because the bad products are claiming to be good. It’s a poisoned product category.
A bidet is a safer option, and cheaper in the long term.
If they dissolved while wet, they would turn into mush in the packaging. If you really want your wipes to be wet, moisten your TP before wiping.
Toilet paper doesn’t dissolve when damp. Before you get condescending, think about if your criticism applies to the product you’re telling me to use instead.
You can test your “flushable” wipes. Put them in a jar with water, shake for 30 seconds. Do the same with toilet paper. Wait 5 minutes. If your wipes aren’t as broken down as the toilet paper, they will cause problems in your pipes.
Lol, the TP turns to pulp when you flush, the wet wipes turn to goo. Don’t flush any kind of wet wipes.
If you want to prove me wrong then put a wet wipe in a cup for 15min and a piece of TP in another cup then shake it. Send pics to update us.
Inbefore people start saying those are a scam. Did you test if they actually dissolve in water?
They’re sold wet, they don’t dissolve in water, that wouldn’t make any sense.
You do realise they are not sold soaked in water? They are soaked with other things, you can check the packaging.
You’re gonna need a plumber eventually
Act particular reason why flushable wipes aren’t flushable? They’re already almost at the point of disintegration when you use them. As long as you’re not using a lot, it doesn’t seem like they’d cause a problem
Valid question tho
Kids today with their 3-ply ass napkin options.
