They have clearly worked on this, in #secret, to get it into the tree, with minimal #publicity. #Publishing the proposal in someone's personal Github repo, rather than in a #public place, is like Douglas Adams' "the notice was posted in the #lavatory in the unlit #basement where the #stairs are missing, behind a door with a 'beware of the #leopard' sign on it" situation.

This shows bad faith. They know this is bad for users, and tried to hide it as much as they could.

THE GREATEST NECESSITY OF THE AGE – THE HISTORY OF TOILET PAPER?

Have you ever wondered why it's customary to shake hands with the right hand? Humans have not always enjoyed the luxury of 4 ply cloud soft cushion. The finest man in toilet paper security (Mr Whipple) knows this, and that's exactly why he implored: "PLEASE, DON'T SQUEEZE THE CHARMIN!".

Aside from the left-hand, some of the first tools used for "throne" hygiene, are listed below. Just a submission from the archives of #UselessTrivia that clutters my mind. Someone said "useless trivia" was the hashtag game today. Maybe they were stoned.

Thousands of years ago, Hygiene sticks, known as salaka, cechou and chugi were used. Many were basically a sponge on a stick.
For the longest time, the Sears catalog was a favorite, as well as another publication. Have you ever wondered why the "Farmers Almanac" has a punch-hole in the top corner? This was the reason. The hole was "punched" so the magazine could be hung on a hook in the outhouse. Not kidding. Later, something called Apothecary paper was marketed but, people began to use this invention as stationary because of the quality of the paper. This paved the way for the more modern version of toidy tissue textiles.

Touted as:
"The Greatest Necessity of the Age", in 1857, Joseph Gayetty introduced:

"GAYETTY'S MEDICATED PAPER FOR THE WATER CLOSET"

The image and article below tells the rest. Considering the other options, can you think of any better invention? Given a choice between toilet paper and the internet... my clean behind and I, would miss all of you very much.

As public toilets go, the Lavatory de la Madeleine in Paris is a stunner. Built in 1905 it's just reopened following a lengthy and loving restoration.

#December 18, 1967
#OTD Muriel Stuart, #English #Poet and #Writer, died.

#MacDiarmid thought she was the best #Scottish #Renaissance #Poet (#Female).

In #Midlife, Muriel gave up #Poetry for #Garden #Writing.

In her #Book, #Fool's Garden (1936), she wrote,

"Even the #Tiniest garden... is #Ennobled by #Planting #Trees.

Otherwise, the #Walls #Lean in, & there is nothing to #Lift your garden above the #Eye... to #Hide the peering #Windows, #Lavatory & #Clothesline of the #House next door."
