A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Offices stock the bathrooms with that single ply, sandpaper toilet tissue to discourage employees from pooping on the company dime-- NOT to cut cost. (lemmy.sdf.org)

It doesn't bother me, I'm of the opinion you should wipe until you see blood either way.

I've been told by multiple facility administrators that the main reason is to prevent toilet paper from being stolen. The shittier the paper, the less likely it's taken

This was it when I was in the military. Requisition the nice stuff? Joe's took it home.

Single ply? They break through with their fingers after 1/4 of the wipe, but I didn't have to order nearly as much of it.
