Tested it for you: the Epson ES-580W only scans a meter of toilet paper... 🧻

@nobodyinperson @RaphaelWimmer @f4grx Has science gone too far now?!

[nobodyinperson@fosstodon.org]

I put this up in our uni's restroom in case somebody needs toilet paper

@WooShell @nobodyinperson @RaphaelWimmer, nah, just one meter farther in this case.

[bastelwombat@chaos.social]

@nobodyinperson Now put that as a lockscreen on an old ipad and mount it in the bathroom.

@tipjip It does: https://fosstodon.org/@nobodyinperson/117308234185859635

You need to disable "detect empty pages" though

@RaphaelWimmer @f4grx @nobodyinperson did I hear "scientific toilet paper"?

[benbe@social.chaotikum.org]

@nobodyinperson Wouldn't arxiv be more appropriate?

@nobodyinperson @tipjip needs a Subscription nag, after the first two sheets

[raphaelwimmer@hci.social]

@nobodyinperson @f4grx How about doing a proper scan without the distortions and uploading it to Wikimedia Commons? They are still missing such an image (I checked).

@nobodyinperson Thank you for sharing the scans, now I can print toilet paper in an emergency when I run out!

@nobodyinperson Is that like a NFT of loo-roll / TP?

@nobodyinperson This is the deep scientific discourse that makes it worth every penny I pay for Mastodon access. #BestOfMastodon
