[–] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) Is that some kind of joke I'm too living-in-a-third-world-country to understand? (Honestly, no idea what that is. Is it some kind of towel?) permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yes. It's a reusable towel system for drying hands in a public bathroom. It's basically a really long roll of cloth that is supposed to get pulled down as its used and goes down into another rolld and washed and put back. I haven't seen one in a really long time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) Ah, gotcha. Sounds totally hygienic /s permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 year ago (1 child) In theory, if it worked correctly, it should be hygenic and better for the environment. But as other commenters have mentioned, in reality they get jammed alot and so the same wet section gets used over and over. Or the owners don't actually wash the roll and it just gets respooled and put back when dry. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Natanael@infosec.pub 7 points 1 year ago You could do something clever with UV light possibly, but still.
