Even during the peak of Covid panic, there was no problem finding toilet paper. Just go to a commercial supply store and buy the larger commercial rolls that don't fit into residential dispensers.

Yeah. The seed oil in literally everything will profit the TP industry

I thought that was pretty cool and not something that I'd ever done or heard of….

This reminds me of the Y2K scare. Ms Rocket when on a buying frenzy, buying toilet paper, a nice Mossberg shotgun, freeze dried food, a tri-fueled generator and (5) 50 gallon drums for water.

I told her our house is going to be lit up like a Christmas tree and everybody’s going to be coming to our house for food, shelter, etc.

The generator had to be ordered. When I got home from work and she told me, I made her go back to the store and cancel it and other things. Only years later, she told me she took things back to the stores and told them, can you believe my husband bought this stuff stuff! 🤪

I remember when it turned 12:01 am 2000, I picked up the phone, heard the dial tone, and told Ms. Rocket, the world didn’t end. She wasn’t happy. 😂

We have a well which requires electricity. Or pressure tank is is maybe 5 gallons.

I was doing business with Kimberly Clark during the great TP shortage of COVID’s.

They were making money hand over fist.

Was that the video that we all saw online? The U-Haul banging around in the garage tearing all of the pipes up?

I was down to my last pack of tp on Monday and there was a lot at Costco. Bought myself a jumbo and overheard a couple. Wife tells husband to grab some tp. He says no limit, so how much? SMH

Tell the a..wipes the port strike is over. The supply of TP is no longer in doubt. Now we can put that TP made in Circleville OH on ships and have it delivered to the stores around Ohio. I heard the first load is planned for Delphos coming on the Miami Erie canal as soon as there's water in the canal again.

You don't need a power outlet by the toilet or a fancy high dollar bidet, all you need is this for a happy butt:

No, believe it or not, there must be at least two pairs of monumentally stupid people out there. When I first saw that video I thought "that was us", but I realized that it was not. Our apt complex had a single large entrance/exit opening, but the video shows 2. And the parking spot on the left side of the video appears to be perpendicular to the wall but in our apt, it was parallel. And we had more pipes running across our garage. But I imagine the experience must have been very similar. It resulted in a fire alarm going off in the complex just before midnight causing a full evacuation. Eventually people came who were able to turn off the water int he building and shut off the fire alarms. I think we were without running water for several days, IIRC.

I did read there is eucalyptus tree pulp brought in from Brazil to make the paper softer. No idea of the potential impact if the supply was disrupted.

Clearly the hoarders took the time and ran that analysis yet disregarded 99% of TP is processed in the US. Also 85% of all paper products is processed in the US. (2 minute Google search - one site only).

That said, Nick may need TP given his waterless canal and I have plenty here but no Walmart that sells Blue Bell ice cream like near Delphos. I say one roll for each half gallon of Homemade Vanilla.

For every five rolls, I also demand a container of Hershey's syrup. Does "demand" sound like extortion? I would really appreciate one container of Hershey's syrup.

That was the last time I stayed up past midnight to see the new year. I waited for 30 minutes to hear about the catastrophes and of course there were none. I went to sleep.

Well yes, there can be a reason: Because people panic and shelves empty. I bought TP at Costco yesterday but only because we are down to our 'safety stock.' One of those big bricks of Kirkland TP lasts us a year but it just so happens we are running low right now. No. I am not going to buy three bricks of TP. I'm prepared for a crisis but not an apocalypse.

We have 7-gallon jugs I fill at the 100 year-old artesian well downtown, which is a natural well running on natural water pressure (there is no pump). The jug fills in 40 seconds:

I think there are more than two.

Your assumption is charitable and incorrect.

[icemann427]

Much of the, at least, Asian world uses what I call a "Bum Gun". It's a water spray nozzle and stainless steel hose connected to your toilet's water connection going into the wall. I purchased one and installed it myself in 10 minutes. The $40+/- cost of the "gun" is made up in a month or two of of NOT purchasing TP, and quite frankly, I can barely stand wiping my ass with TP, anymore. I save hundreds of dollars each year NOT buying TP.

Don't you buy a little to dry things off?

Yes. The elephant in the room. Not to mention how does it clean without any agitation?
If you have a shower without some scrubbing you still stink.

You just need the appropriate pressure and volume...

I laughed at that photo, Masraum! Yes, just like that!!

Believe me, it is perfectly clean, afterwards...Without agitation. I'm not saying I don't buy any TP, just minimal. And yes, I can dry myself with minimal TP. I guarantee you turdheads, that once you started using a BumGun, you'd feel much cleaner than you do with TP (and Wetwipes), and you'd never use TP, again, unless you had to. Unless you just like the feel and smell of a dirty stinky ass...And you'd save a lot of trees and a lot of money...

Question....
Living in MI, if I follow someone else that just used the toilet, (and the tank has just refilled with 42 degree water).......how far should I expect I will jump when ice cold water is sprayed on my B Hole??
