2.5 centimeters of toothpaste is like a lot, the dude is foaming like crazy

[–] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just raises questions about the toothbrush.

[–] poster596@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago

Maybe seizing the toothbrushes will be necessary after all.

As much as I'd love to believe this screenshot of uncredited text, this is how I knew it was all fake. No British person cares that much about brushing their teeth

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 37 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

There's interviews with his butler where the butler talks about the toothpaste and also being called into his office in order to throw out one piece of paper into a paperbasket next to the desk.
Skepticism is only worth anything if you follow it up with research and this shit is pretty easy to look into. https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a38743898/prince-charles-doesnt-squeeze-out-his-own-toothpaste/

i don't think the monarchy is gonna make it. queen elizabeth lived so damn long from ww2 to now-ish. i can imagine a certain amount of inertia for legitimacy when the monarch is some ancient little old lady in pastel colors with corgis.

but suddenly, the new monarch is this fuckin' inbred guy who has been a public doofus since always. that has got to move the needle to where more people are like, "wait, how much is wasted on this asshole?"

but suddenly, the new monarch is this fuckin' inbred guy

guy who is completely unfamiliar with monarchy

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

For anyone alive it is sudden, yeah you can know about history but Elizabeth was queen for the entire lifetime of almost everyone alive

you're greatly overestimating the terf-islanders

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 36 points 2 days ago (2 children)

alright am i alone in thinking the 2.5 centimeters is the weirdest part? not even the butler, the SHEER AMOUNT OF TOOTHPASTE

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah no, I was thinking the same lol

That is fucking wild

[–] Liketearsinrain@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

wait, this isn't a joke post?

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 2 days ago

you made me doubt it and i looked and yes, he really does want these things. the toothpaste centimeter thing is because he wants exactly an inch of toothpaste out of a crested silver dispenser, which translates to 2.54cm. the claims come from Omid Scobie's book "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight For Survival"

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 40 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Charles is inbred right? This is the kind of shit inbred monarchs have always done.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 43 points 2 days ago (4 children)

custom velvet toilet paper

pause. wtf does that even mean? is he wiping his ass with fucking fabric? is he just regularly annihilating plumbing everywhere he shits or something? i don't understand.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 33 points 2 days ago

Probably extra soft toilet paper kept away from us because if we knew there more than one kind of softness, we'd never stop killing for it

[–] supdawg813@hexbear.net 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Kinda misleading, Kleenex Velvet is the brand name and it's not sold in some countries so he has to travel with it

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Kleenex is basically synonymous with tissue paper in the US but I've never heard of them selling toilet paper before.

He's got a dude whose job it is to emboss the royal monogram on every square of what's otherwise just Charmin 2 ply.

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

They call him the ~~Lord of the Privy Chamber~~

Edit - Even better! A Groom of the Stool

Imagine beging a monarchist. Peroid.

Pretty cringe.

Sick fit

imagine trying to explain to any indigenous group on turtle island or in africa that the soulless mayoids that are about to invade, genocide, and enslave them are exclusively ruled by petulant children wearing silly clothes and wigs and funny hats.

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

There is actually a tribe in the Amazon that considers him some sort of god of fertility. There's a docuseries about it.

Edit: googled it and found the cargo cult "the prince Philip movement". Probably the ones I was thinking of, so not a tribe but a part of one.

tbf i would travel with my own favorite childhood teddy bear if i could

[–] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I myself have a plush isopod and that's never impacted my work but the rest is ridiculous

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If i could afford Royalty Level toilet paper I'd probably take it with me as well. Probably hard to go back

[–] booty@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

if I were one of the most privileged people on Earth, I would use a bidet and then it wouldn't matter what kind of toilet paper I use

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

None of this is surprising. Royals were always weird neurotic pussies

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

nice i hope his life sucks til he dies

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Like that this comments section isn't filled with his defenders claiming this extreme privilege is just undiagnosed autism and criticizing it is ableism like I've seen when this is posted elsewhere.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I think that's more insulting to autistic people than making fun of a Prince for being a spoiled adult brat who throws temper tantrums. Autistic people arent that demanding and if someone was, they would still need to be rich and privileged enough to make those impositions

lmao that's incredible. I love when people use woke talking points to defend the most reactionary people on the planet, it's genuinely hilarious

You don't understand, he forced the media to use the full government name instead of "prince Andrew"
