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.
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.
Two ply 70¢ / (330/2) = 0.42 ¢
Three ply 120¢ / 300 = 0.4 ¢
Basically the same.
You meant 3 not one but I get you.
You’d think we would buy a bidet
Corrected thanks.
No, that is roughly 5 wipes more per roll
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?
“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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
Wait, you are not telling me you use a single 3 layer piece to wipe, are you?
Sometimes if it’s clean
Water just use water you noobs. Didn’t gtp tell you?
Kids today with their 3-ply ass napkin options.
Valid question tho
The tp I normally buy from Amazon went from $19.99 to $24.99 during the pandemic. The horror!!
Under trump 2.0, they have been over $30 on average, sometimes as high as $43.99.
Right now they’re $26.99 and I literally bought 6 boxes. I’ve been refusing to buy over $30 and have been buying a cheaper brand until the price came down 🧻
I bought two big batches of toilet paper from Costco last December. Considering it’s August and I’m still in the first batch (and near the end of it), I’m happy to say my initial calculation of “a year’s worth of toilet paper” is holding up!
Wait what? How many rolls are in a box? I pay 3 bucks for a pack of 3ply.
24 rolls
4 things of 6 rolls per box.
So yes I have over 150 rolls of tp on hand right now. Don’t judge me!
I just fuckthe dead on camera and make two-three figures easy. Get with the fucking times, bro. Just let your sister die out autoaphasia with a mild case of head trauma from seven points of impact which likely came from the transportation of the victim, I mean, patient, and you got an easy route to make your beer and weed money back each night, if you got a secure internet connection.
