For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    Imagine caring as a value, for example, my care™ about this topic is 2, whereas yours is 5.

    In this interpretation, “I don’t care” implies that the care™ value of the speaker is 0, by the same logic, saying “I care” implies that their care™ value is greater than 0.

    With that in mind, “I could care less” implies there is a care™ value lower than the one they currently hold. Meanwhile, “I couldn’t care less” implies the opposite, there is no care™ value lower, which is only true for 0 (AKA “I don’t care”).
