In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
The Unspoken Issue Threatening to Tear This Nation Apart
On Ricochet we are not afraid to tackle the tough issues, in fact we pay for the privilege, we go at it hammer and tongs debating those crucial questions which will determine the future of our nation.
Whether it be the proper manner in which to cook spaghetti, who creates the best pizza or even the quantity of pointless comments. I hesitated before publishing this, some issues may be too hot even for our sober minded community however problems are not resolved by ignoring them so I am going there.
There is only one proper way to hang toilet paper, the correct manner is over. Under is wrong, if you believe otherwise then you are wrong.
The choice is clear, over.
This question must be worked into all future debates, I need to know where the candidates stand. This is my deal breaker.

Proposed legislation in Minnesota if passed could solve this problem. In the state where nothing is allowed a provision in a proposed new bill would outlaw toilet paper holders. The proposed provision is based on controversial federally funded research that show 0.00000001% of arguments that end in violence are over the toilet paper issue.
Among some of the other provisions of the bill include outlawing garage doors because people are still being injured by garage doors.
Exactly. (I only have two, but have owned cats my entire life. I wouldn’t know how to live in a world in which cleaning up cat vomit wasn’t a thing.)
As someone who doesn’t like to turn on the light at night for a bathroom trip, the following conditions must be maintained:
My husband likes to keep me guessing as to which of these conditions occasionally won’t be met.
I’m reminded of the little packet of TP that came with C-rations. In 1967 we were getting c-rats mfgd in 1955 and had superior TP. By mid 1969 we were getting recently mfgd c-rats with inferior TP. So much for progress.
As our cats treat paper hung either way as a toy, the roll stays on its side on the counter. Our apartment has one of those counters that goes over the tub. All I ask of him is that the toilet paper stays on the counter to the side instead of back there, as I don’t face that direction while using the facility.
Now there’s a debate question! And only with this secret knowledge can we judge the answer.
The perforated toilet roll was invented in 1891.
Here is the illustration that accompanied the patent:

Did we ever resolve the fact that the Oxford comma indeed needs to be used? To say otherwise would be to refuse to use brackets in multivariate algebra.
This is why I love Ricochet.
Do not be fooled by clever diagrams. There is no one-handed tear in the over configuration.
Yes, that. And invariably the tear happens up under the metal piece so you have to use two hands to lift it and find the end next time.
First thing I do in hotels that have those annoying TP flaps is pull off the roll and put it where I can actually use it.
So everytime we hang TP we violate someone’s patent?
I never realized toilet paper was so challenging.
Just the terms and conditions in the user agreement to which you consented with the act of opening the package.
I know, I suggest title of the post be changed to, “Toilet Paper: You’re doing it wrong…”
I just read all the comments thus far. I don’t know about about but I’m wiped.
I do this sometimes because the holder is poorly located and reaching it is awkward. I don’t want to end up in the emergency room having dislocated my shoulder and declaring it a toilet paper accident.
King Prawn re: #6 ,
If that is a “Brown Recluse”, then I’m convinced. Over the top, no question.
There is the spouse’s preference, and there is the wrong way.
