This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

        Apparently millennials prefer paper towels over napkins and it’s affecting the napkin industry.

          “tissues” vs “kitchen rolls” for anyone wondering what a paper towel is compared to a napkin.

          I gotta say, I always found tissues just sub-par for the job. A kitchen roll (towel? sleeve? paper?) you just need to fold it once and it will hold against a storm

            I’m not, tho. 😎

            Have a discussion with me about napkins. This is a social website.

              Lol fine

              Napkins are shit and deserved to die. You need to clean your face, a paper towel is better. You need to clean a general mess, napkins are useless. You need to blow your nose or touch a sensitive orifice or mucous membrane, Kleenex is your boi… Napkins were a dumb waste of additional manufacturing lines and supply chains.

            Ok, the first article says “Millennials killed the paper napkin industry” then says they’re using paper towels instead

            WTF is the difference between a paper napkin and a paper towel? I thought they were the same thing? 😂

              Lol apparently so did millenials ;)

              It’s a different grade of paper, usually flat and without the ridges that make paper towels absorbant (or at least the “look I’m absorbant” marketing signifier). Very very cheap napkins and paper towels are mostly indistinguishable.

              Paper towels are (traditionally) rolled on a cardboard tube and meant to clean up larger messes.

              Napkins are meant to adorn a table and clean one’s face while eating.

              A paper towel is a napkin but a napkin is not a paper towel.
