@cassolotl@eldritch.cafe They serve a legitimate purpose though; holding the roll in place while you tear off a sheet, without 'contaminating' the remainder of the roll.
@joepie91 @cassolotl it can't both hold the roll for tearing off *and* allow it to be pulled to get the next sheet though
@wolfie @cassolotl@eldritch.cafe That's why it's hinged, so you can press on it as necessary :p
@wolfie @cassolotl@eldritch.cafe I mean, this is exactly how I use it, and it works fine with one hand for me.
Are these things not common outside of NL?
@joepie91 @cassolotl I've never seen them in a home but they are sometimes in hotel bathrooms
@wolfie @cassolotl@eldritch.cafe Aha. Here they are very widespread in homes as well.
@joepie91 @cassolotl that sounds like it would make one handed use more difficult, I'm still unconvinced that it helps at all
