From wiki: In 589 AD the scholar-official Yan Zhitui (531–591) wrote about the use of toilet paper: "Paper on which there are quotations or commentaries from the Five Classics or the names of sages, I dare not use for toilet purposes.[3]" So by that time, people were already using paper in the toilet. And from his reference, you can guess the source of the paper. lol. "During the early 14th century, it was recorded that in what is now Zhejiang province alone, ten million packages of 1,000 to 10,000 sheets of toilet paper were manufactured annually.[3] During the Ming dynasty (1368–1644 AD), it was recorded in 1393 that an annual supply of 720,000 sheets of toilet paper (approximately 2 by 3 ft (60 by 90 cm)) were produced for the general use of the imperial court at the capital of Nanjing.[3] From the records of the Imperial Bureau of Supplies of that same year, it was also recorded that for the Hongwu Emperor's imperial family alone, there were 15,000 sheets of special soft-fabric toilet paper made, and each sheet of toilet paper was perfumed.[3]" So yes, Gayette may have been the first to commercially sell it in the US, but other parts of the world have been producing it for centuries.
LMAO I Literally just saw this for the first time now, On Crazyheads. I did not expect it. ^.^ https://tv.yarn.co/yarn-clip/d11fa640-2c58-4cab-b920-fa22423de97a
Huh , I know it's scientific approach but using herd immunity on Covid-19 sounds like they give up finding vaccine very soon. I guess British are keep calm and carry one just like usual days.
Like the time they sprayed bacteria on British citizens? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2002/apr/21/uk.medicalscience
How long paper has been used is not the point modern toilet paper was created to break down after a fairly sort time in water protect the sewage system
The dates still don't match up. Getty's toilet paper was out in 1857, the U-bend toilet in 1881, almost 30 years after it came out. My guess is it's an advertising urban myth that he developed the paper for the flush toilet since it actually came out before the toilet.
The flush toilet was invented in 1596 but didn’t become widespread until 1851. Before that, the “toilet” was a motley collection of communal outhouses, chamber pots and holes in the ground. The History of the Toilet | History | Smithsonian Maga… www.smithsonianmag.com/history/turrets-toilets-partial-history-throne-roo… There were flushing toilets long before I bend toilets and they were widespread about 6 years before modern toilet paper
I personally am just glad I have a toilet. Also you guys might be interested in this episode of Hidden Killers. It talks about the invention of the toilet, etc. It's a great documentary.
Haha, that was amusing and informative! And you guys thought I was joking about pine cones and corn cobs.
The point is if you do use those alternatives you will probably be needing to call a plumber down the road if you flush them down the toilet
