Calculus? Nah, bro, that's easy stuff

I discovered yesterday that they no longer sell 16 ounce containers of ricotta cheese. They're all now 15oz or 30oz. So if you have a recipe that needs four cups of cheese you have to either adjust the rest of the recipe down or deal with having a 1/4 cup less cheese than you really need.

Fuck capitalism.

This is why we need an ISO Toilet Paper Standard.

1 mega plus = 4.5
1 “roll” =4.55555556
1 double plus = 2.26666667
1 super mega = 6.

Sorry for formatting I’m on mobile

All these brands talking about how much length of tp there is, but they're cutting the width. So now tp rolls are stumpy and small

Hmm is the average toilet paper roll empty?

It's just meaningless marketing.

It usually says price per total area, but this whole thing is why I just buy the recycled ones. If someone's going to cheat me it may as well be for a good cause.

Just pick the ply you want and look at the sq.ft. of the roll. Odds are you want the most length per roll.

I usually just buy half a roll or so at a time from the guy behind the mcdonalds drive through.

Paper towel crowd is just as evil.

We need a new metric standard. Introducing the 💩.

112.6 standard rolls = 1k💩

This is why you always have to show your units!

Doesn't the price tag on the shelf usually have a break down per sheet or sqft?

What does this even mean, I buy them separately

I normally buy Charmin ultra soft at Costco.

I was at target and we were low, so just grabbed some there.

Turns out the rolls (cardboard tube and all) were like an inch less wide. For some reason that extra inch makes me comfortable, and I've been so angry at the Target rolls while I try to use them up. I have big hands.. this kind of shrinkflation can get messy.

As gemers nexus put it "Bigger number better"

12 units of imperialism. Use metric.

As much as I hate paper products check the total square footage and weight vrs price to help make your decision. It's literally on the package.

No. I had all the links from the beginning.

But...but it's perfectly fine math, if you treat "mega plus", "regular", "rolls", "double plus", and "super mega" as units: regular = a, mega plus = b, => 12a=54b => a = 4.5b So one sheet of mega plus equals 4.5 sheets of regular.

Diameter of roll

I find it scary that some people are afraid to do simple arithmetic and the most basic geometry...
