This is a widely entreating post! The history of what we perceive as ordinary is often really interesting. I had not really thought about why TP rolls have a hole in the middle and now I'll never see a roll without thinking about this. Good scholarly work changes how readers see the world!
I only wish there was more to read even if digital pages have no other use.
I wonder all the kinds of meaning making associated with the use of toilet paper. Which classes used what, and for what purpose? Was it common to buy your rivals books to defecate on them? Did people put TP on guest wash basins as a sign of prestige... What categories of people first adopted these behaviors. Interestingly with the bidet and "smart toilets" some people have moved away from using TP. What does this mean?
Fascinating thanks! Bumpf makes so much sense now 😂
