So far we have three people that have made the same comment about not being the front view. I'm using copy comments as TP tomorrow.
Unless you have a cat that likes to play with them... Then the other direction.

Why not just shut the door so the cat doesn't get in there? The toilet paper being hung correctly is more important than the cat for me.
One of my cats knows how to open doors like a fucking velociraptor. We've baby locked several of our doors but some things like the bathroom I don't like fucking around with extra steps when trying to get into at 3am

Depends on the cat. If they're simply going with tapping the roll to spin it, that may work for a bit. I've found that rolls accessible to a cat tend to morph into big balls of clawed unusable pulp.
When I was a young kid, I had a cat that was front-declawed (this was before it was well known that it's an abusive practice - my folks didn't know better at the time). Because he couldn't shred the paper with his claws, he showed his spite by chewing up the roll so it looked like he'd clawed it. Didn't matter which direction the roll was.
I loved that cat. He was so smart.

I see we've got some really strong opinions going on here. Just wanna remind everyone to keep it friendly and civil.
And on that note, all you weirdos who place it behind are wrong and I will die on this hill.
Fight me.

Sure, that's great and all, but the creator of the Gif says the wrong way to say it so... the creator is not always right.
Just to make sure to not take sides, I pronounce the 'g' as in 'design'

It's halfway 2024 it's time to move on to bidets.
I use a bidet, I still need TP to clean up after the water does the job.
I know fancy bidets exist that will blow dry your arae, but what do I look like? A rich person? We got ours from Amazon for like $20.
TP use is way down, but it's still needed in many cases.

I accept the wrong way if, and only if, the wrongifier has cats.
I have cats and would never have the audacity to do something as vulgar as that.
I can't blame that cat. I been watching this for ten minutes and the roll never ends!
Agreed. My cat would never dare put the roll on the wrong way.

Not the best patent to use if you want to settle the debate. This one from Wheeler is the nail in the coffin: patent
It also shows why it was over and not under as at the time, the TP holder was a hanging wire, which kept the paper against the wall. Not protruding out like todays hangers.

I love how everyone arguing against this mentions cats - and never toddlers.
It really speaks volumes to the types of users on Lemmy :)
Putting the roll on backwards doesn't stop my cats. I have to have a towel draped in front of the roll.
Thats the 'cat free house' way.
Eh. I taught my 2 cats to not touch it. It's not difficult.
I have had many cats and have never had a problem with them grabbing the toilet paper.

Objection: appeal to authority + appeal to tradition + I did the fuck with yo mama last night
/s if that's really necessary
I like this shitpost
The proper way to hang it, if you have cats, is the other way so they don't bat it all off if the get access. This is why I do not have cats.
My cat has not once tried unraveling a toilet paper roll. He has stolen money before, but he steals shit, so that’s normal. But never toilet paper.

I see nothing that indicates that that is the front of the roll
Wait. So if this i patented but has no specification about hanging it the other way, would that mean that one could patent toilet paper again, but hanging the other way?

You aren't taking into account the patent inversion convention of 1898.
