I used actual toilet paper to write programs on for the first year or two after I started programming. (I just had no computer of my own.)
This was not the kind of toilet paper you would see nowadays, though. It was not in a roll, but a deck of precut pieces, and they were not soft at all. One side was glossy, and the other - rough. The glossy side was perfect for writing. It was almost like a notebook, only cheaper.
Here's a link to a somewhat similar kind - https://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-RARE-OLD-ORIGINAL-RUSSIAN-TOILET-PAPER-SOVIET-UNION-USSR/324420049226 https://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-RARE-OLD-ORIGINAL-RUSSIAN-TOIL...
(I'm not the seller, I swear.)
I do miss these times. I could actually write a whole program without compiling it, and it would run fine on a computer later. Most of the times.
