I have to go grocery shopping right now. Not looking forward to it. I didn’t want to stock up on all this emergency stuff but for the past several weeks the local Facebook group has been saying everyone is out of toilet paper so I guess I better grab what I can find before I’m wiping on the curtains 

It`s crazy but for some reason tp is the hot item. I picked up 4 rolls today. lol. 

You guys realize you can wash in the tub. Toilet paper is not a necessity.

Now running water is. If that stops, then the great extinction event begins.

I have to be honest, if the world runs out of toilet paper and people turn to other means, than there won't be alot of 9.8s in white pages anymore...I can see those going up considerably 

Before the advent of modern toilet paper many different materials were used for the same purposes. Different materials were used depending upon the country, weather conditions, social customs and status. People used leaves, grass, ferns, corn cobs, maize, fruit skins, SEASHELLS, stone, sand, moss, snow and water.
So, early TP roll:

In Southeast Asia, every airport restroom, restaurant restroom, hotel restroom, most apartments all have  a bum gun. I feel weird when I'm somewhere that doesn't. Seems almost... uncivilized to NOT!

Frankly I keep on hearing about TP shortages but all the stores around me have plenty. I have over 100 jumbo roles, I think we are fine. We use one about every 2-3 days

Just turned 27, but feel like 50 with all the construction and lumberjack work I did over the years. Well, here is what I did today because of this virus.

I bought this at the supermarket.

Chile x16
Lental x32
Tuna x12
Pb x5
Gumbo soup x6
Pasta sauce x6
Pasta x8
Parma cheese x1
Corn x12
Green bean x12
Mixed vegie x4
Fruit cocktail x32 cups
Pear x6
Peach x5
Pineapple x3
Mandarins x2
Oatmeal x55 servings (2 packets worth)
Cliff bars x24
20 lb rice

Why did I buy this? I have a sneaking suspicion they are going to try to close super markets and fast food joints next.

So I have a month supply of food.

I hope I am way off on this.

God bless.

Big Jim.

They're not closing supermarkets. But supply chains could get messed up. While I have 2 fridges I am regretting not having a floor freezer.

This may sound gross to some, but if you are out of toilet paper at home, you can always use the shower.

Or you can stick anal tube up your behind and go to the bathroom that way without using toilet paper. Problem solved.

I’m sure they’d consider it pretty third world if they had to bathe in their bidet too

My younger sister just bought a freezer because of this virus. She is getting lots of meats and chicken just in case. I think you are right about supermarkets, but it is better to be safe than sorry. I am all good now as I have a month supply of food. One thing though I realized was I never knew how heavy bottled water is. That bottled water was the heaviest stuff I had to lift.

disclaimer my tap water is carp.

If I had the room for a freezer I’d have one already.

Interesting chart.

You'd be surprised.

A lot of people use the shower after going to the bathroom. And many cultures don't use the same bathroom practices that the West does.

But if you really want to get down to the nitty gritty (I read about and studied the colon for years) if your body is tuned and working properly, you really shouldn't even need much toilet paper.

I haven't looked last few days, but apparently Cholorox is doing well.

I would imagine all cleaning products and toiletries as well will have a good year.
