    I’ve been doing this for some time now. I’m excited to know I’m not the only one.

      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.

        If your wife only had 12 rolls, I’d be surprised.

      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.

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

    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.

    Nice! I also do this, but don’t think I’ve ever gotten to 12. 8 or 9 is probably my record.

    Edit: managed a 10 today 🙂

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men’s Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an “Africa, by Toto” option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.
