Toilet paper rant:

[bcude]

Partly because of the fact that fear makes people less intelligent and rational, which in effect also creates a impression that you're under some kind of threat and have a strong urge to act, in some way, or some form so people go out to stock up on food and sanitary products, like toilet paper so they get the feeling that they're atleast doing something.
The enormous popularity with toilet paper is largely because of monkey see, monkey do phenomenon, which in turn creates an even bigger effect because rational people also want to buy it now since it could run out. If you've a family of four you need some.
Lastly it's become somewhat trendy too.

If this were a real serious pandemic which I don’t believe it is

This is ignorance though. It's not up for debate, it's a fact.

I was thinking Amazon prime pantry but damn even that site is running out of toilet paper. I'm one of those guys who order everything from amazon. Every week I have $200-$300 worth of packages (mostly house hold items like carpet cleaners, toilet paper, coffee, etc). But today I struggled to find toilet paper on Amazon which is UNHEARD of.

I can hook you up. For you, just 10 bucks a roll. Plus, I'll even upgrade you to double-ply. Rick's got your back.

I don't understand why bidets aren't more common in America. It's kind of gross that people don't use them everywhere. I mean if I got shyt on my face somehow, I wouldn't just use toilet paper to clean it.

Most people use wipes and just dry off with toilet paper. You can also wet toilet paper and even use some mild soap if need be. If a person has any anal fissures or hemorrhoids, that can help tremendously.

Fixed it

As long as it's a nice phat female ass, all good. Need to make sure that she clean and sh it (no pun intended).

They do? I didn't know that was so common. I've heard those wipes aren't flushable in spite of what they say on the package. People that work in the waste industry say they clogs pipes and don't dissolve. Also that's a bunch of chemicals you're putting on your bunghole. They come in handy if you're in public but I still think water is the best solution, for the organism and for the environment. I still use TP but always wash off with the bidet if I can. (But when I travel I always have wipes.) But hey - everyone's different.

They make septic safe ones now. Most people in urban areas have sewer, so it's not that big of a deal. Not sure how people wipe with no water.. That must be quiet uncomfortable.

You guys are going to sell me on getting a bidet lol.

I say do it! A lot of people get cold water ones only, but I like my hot water on the old bullseye.

I forgot about the temperature considerations. Cold water in the winter doesn't sound too pleasant, but I wouldn't want scalding water either. Looks like I'm going to have to do some research if I decide to pull the trigger. Sounds convenient though. It gets harder to reach around behind me as I get older, er I mean more muscle bound. If the stores are out of toilet paper, I wonder if there is going to be a run on bidets?

 

[Atom Smasher]

You have a dial on the control panel that mixes hot and cold to get the temp you want.

LOL, yeah, "muscle bound".

Outstanding.

Toilet roll is big and bulky so so psychologically people associate it with security and a need to bulk buy it. Same things happened in UK.
No frozen veg, tins, flour, medicine coffee, cereal,rice, pasta. Nothing left.
Luckily I have snares, traps and a slingshot. I'm under no illusion that I can live exclusively on the fat of the land but I know what to eat and how to catch what nature has provided and my dehydrator has been working overtime these last few weeks.

There are more deer than people where I live. Maybe that won't be true by the time this virus passes, though. I imagine hunting will be popular, probably poaching too.

That's awefully sh1tty of them

Can't find disinfectant to save my life. It has always been what I used to clean the kitchen and bathroom. Can't find any. Tried about 8 stores today. Had to buy Lysol for $42 on Ebay

 

[Ohso-Phresh]

My main job is for a major energy drink company and my job is basically to get our product on as many shelf’s, in as many stores as I can.
With that being said, I am in and out of the grocery store all day and my question is
What the **** is wrong with Americans?
Why toilet paper? I don’t understand it, people are buying ALL the toilet paper in every store. I mean cases on top of cases. I watched a pallet drop in a store with 50 twelve packs of toilet paper.
i **** you not FIVE people bought all 50 packs of toilet paper. That’s an average of 122 rolls of toilet paper each!

122 roles of toilet paper would literally last me three years. How much do people sh*t? I sh*t once a day, twice if I was drinking the night before and I just don’t understand this. One roll of toilet paper gets me atleast 20 poops.

Are people eating it? If this were a real serious pandemic which I don’t believe it is, why aren’t people stacking up one oranges, garlic, tumeric, grapefruit, vitamin C supplements.. things to boost the immune system.
If things really were bad, and you ran out of toilet paper you could always take a soapy wash cloth and wipe with it. I just don’t understand??!?

Someone please make sense of this toilet paper hoarding for me?

To be woowoo, coronavirus and toilet paper are associated with the muladhara chakra aka base or root. It is associated with survival and sexuality.
The msm hype cycle has triggered people’s anxiety around their survival needs, especially toward an unseeable and virtually unknown assailant. In the face on an uncontrollable external factor, the nervous system rallies to what it can control thus the hoarding of food and a more vulnerable aspect of our sexuality - one’s own ass.

Toilet paper is like a emotional binkie for the butt.

Think about how vulnerable you feel when you’re out of TP, pants around your ankles as you shuffle through the cabinets swearing under your breath, hoping that there is one more roll to ease your existential angst.

And there it is!

Victorious and elated, that you can finish wiping your own ass. Triumphant you emerge from the bathroom, dominate in your own reality.

‍lol

Sh1tting in the steadily scarce resource as fresh drinking water is no where near environmentally friendly. No other mammal does this in the animal kingdom.

Okay, no. That is defintiely NOT common, Rick. I’ve actually never ever heard of that in my life, nor have I seen it once in any of the bathrooms I have ever been in when I have gone over to other people’s homes. Unless they have an infant who is still in diapers, I don’t think it’s very common at all lol

They still got some at my local target lmao yeah they’re definitely not common haha

I have found some Clorox Bleach. All is well

Police in Philly are refusing to take anyone to jail for all but the most violent crimes. I would expect other major urban areas to follow suit. That's why people are buying guns.

 

[Desdinova]

I stocked up on non-perishable items, dehydrated foods, seeds for planting vegetables, and there's an order in for baby chicks. Fvck toilet paper. I have enough old socks kicking around that I could use if need be. People are truly dumb.

I'm contemplating if I should go buy a gun or a crossbow. I'm legal to own them and I'd like to hunt my own food.
