| Feb 5, 2019 at 17:53 | comment | added | M. Stern | @DavidRicherby My reasoning was that it is a question about a difference in cultures and this way related to travel. | |
| Feb 5, 2019 at 17:45 | comment | added | David Richerby | @LightnessRacesinOrbit The question is whether North Americans use toilet paper in a different way from Europeans and about why some joke is funny. Neither of those is a question about travel. If the question was "Is there a difference between North American toilet paper and European toilet paper?" then the answer being "no" wouldn't disqualify the question. But the question isn't that. | |
| Feb 5, 2019 at 17:38 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | @DavidRicherby As it happens yes - but that would be part of the answer, not a reason to dismiss the question :) "Is there a difference between X and Y? If yes, what is it?" "There is no difference, so your question is off-topic because we only discuss differences here" Kinda. Meh | |
| Feb 5, 2019 at 17:36 | comment | added | David Richerby | @LightnessRacesinOrbit OK. But toilet paper in north America is no different from toilet paper in Europe, so that point is moot. | |
| Feb 5, 2019 at 17:34 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | @DavidRicherby Yes, I was mostly joking... though I think there's a reasonable counterpoint to what choster said, which is that you are to some degree at the whims of the local custom, if said local custom involves toilet paper being substantially different from what you're used to, and if you don't carry your own around with ya. Some locales don't even use toilet paper... Therefore, yes, this has to do with travel. (Sort of. But also kind of not.) | |
| Feb 5, 2019 at 16:42 | comment | added | David Richerby | @LightnessRacesinOrbit Huh? It's the same paper. You can use it exactly how you use it at home. What Americans do makes no difference whatsoever. | |
| Feb 5, 2019 at 16:04 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | @choster: However, you will find yourself using the "local toilet paper style" while travelling, because that's what's provided everywhere, so you're not entirely sh!tting in a bubble. | |
| Feb 5, 2019 at 13:29 | comment | added | choster | Agreed, with David. No one is using toilet paper on you except yourself, and if they are, in going to assume you're paying them to do so, and they will do it in whichever way you prefer. | |
