I fully understand Figure #1. The tech involved with Figure #2 and #3 has to be alien provided technology to be able to suspend the roll, in midair, and still maintain functionality.

Good point. I fully expect @slobake to turn up and explain this. Maybe not this week, but next week, when he's retired and free to devote all his attention to the important stuff in life.

@two fingers has gone rogue. No telling how and when he will show up.

This diagram needs no explanation. Tiolet paper is a binary situation. You either have it or you don't. Its quality, softness, method of deployment, etc. are all a distant second in terms of priorities.
Have some = good
Have none = bad
(In all seriousness, I am guessing these drawings were done for the original patent for perforations dividing toilet paper into "sheets". Before this, it was likely one long sheet of paper.... and likely closer to printer paper than the soft stuff we use today. The design on the left employed a blade to make tearing in a straight line easier. The other two were more about the perforated lines themselves rendering design one obsolete.)
Where are my manners? I skipped formalities. Good morning, fellas. This has been a really busy week. So I have been popping in and out odd hours all week.
However.....

Good morning, to both of you! Yep... Friday...
Yea, for everyone!
No @two fingers, it is not. Over the top or society goes to hell in whatever conveyance you prefer.
I didn’t write the rules. That’s just the way it is.
You're in the middle of the "process". You look down and discover there is one roll of toilet paper. It is mounted in a locked dispenser. It deploys from the bottom of the roll.... in your view "backwards" or simply "wrong".
I go back to my initial statement. Chaos and anarchy notwithstanding..... you HAVE toilet paper. All is well.
I guess what I'm saying is that your statement is a little over the top.

Not to derail this earth quaking, booty shaking, poop making, consciousness waking exchange...I’m gonna ask a chance taking, no faking question.
‘Tonight’s’ SU/Duke Game tips off at 8:37p Eastern time. I’ve checked with the intrawebs, and they report that the game starts at 6:37p, Mountain time.........BUTT!
Arizona does Not change its clocks to Daylight Savings Time!
WTH, Arizona??!!
This feels, to me, like a 9th grade algebra question concerning trains leaving Chicago and San Francisco...passing each other somewhere in Montana!
WTH time does The Cuse start Spanking Duke?!

Ok. If it’s in a locked dispenser, the roll is mounted sideways, so it’s not the issue we’re discussing. Also, if it is not present, then there is no need to debate.You're in the middle of the "process". You look down and discover there is one roll of toilet paper. It is mounted in a locked dispenser.

You are correct that it is a binary choice, but the choice is; mount it correctly or, doom humanity forever to the pit of misery - dilly, dilly.
Putz.
I learned hysteria by Muse was always on my bucket list never going to play it life in my band just personal satisfaction.

My dad recently passed away. I’ve learned that I will never hear my dads voice again. Take the time to get right with your parents while they are alive. Once they are gone, they are gone. Take the time to ask them everything you can, and if you do, let them know you love them. Don’t wait, because you never know when the end comes.
Don’t wait to do what you can do today.
Don’t wait to do what you can do today.
I'm sorry you're going through that. The same happened to me a couple years ago, and I agree with your statement, here.
It was a tough week for the family, but the truth is I was lucky to have him for so long. It was a privilege to have had him as my father. Pop got me started in art which I'm proud to say I make a good living at today. No matter where we went in my home town, we always had a pleasant experience running into someone he knew from teaching or coaching . I can honestly say I have never met anyone who did not like him, or had a negative word to say.
There's been an incredible out pour of responses for my dad on Facebook's Vacaville High's Lost Classmates From The 70's - Gone But Never Forgotten. It's been great to hear the responses and stories from various students, like how he stopped to give a kid a ride to school, or hearing about how a student felt cared for by his patience and encouragement.
My dad had really slowed down after he broke his hip and I think he was ready to pass. He lived a good full life, and his body was giving out. I have nothing but great memories of him and will always remember his kindness and love for our family and those he met.
Very similar to my dad's story. He was a well-loved art teacher. We had a show for his art a while after he passed, and it was nice to see all the people he used to know come out for it.
That everything you thought you knew about Vikings is probably wrong

I wonder if these 'magnifying glasses' could be further evidence of the practice of navigation by focusing sunlight with crystals to determine true compass points, in blizzard conditions. That's my hunch

Horns predate Vikings by a huge amount. They date back to when man had only three fingers.
