[quote=Chypmunk]Ewwwwww to sharing toilet paper :sick:[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]You won't believe how many people I saw sitting out on their front porch when I went and visited my old neighborhood the other day.

Then again, it's a really nice neighborhood with rich white people who probably share their toilet paper and ketchup. A genuine utopia![/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]All this stay at home stuff has made me realize how much the world has changed in just my lifetime. 

People don't really sit on the porch anymore. Now when they do, it's like, "That weirdo across the street is watching us". 

I'm not that kind of weirdo. We were raised right, we sit on the back porch :D[/font][/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]Even better is home t.p. and "not home" t.p. may as well be made by two different industries.[/font][/quote]

[quote=John McClane]So all you really gotta do is go to the places that fast food/restaurants/hotels order their paper and you shouldn't have a problem. Just means you gotta buy a case. :lol:[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]The case that I purchased is primarily bought by small businesses/hotels. Like there are warehouses upon warehouses full with the 1-2 ply industrial TP.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Yeah, it's pretty remarkable. I read an interesting article that put the whole shortage into perspective:

Essentially everyone that was shitting at work is now shitting at home. That's why there's only a shortage with retail/residential TP.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]All I'm seeing through all this is how amazingly lucky we are 99% of the time that we can get almost anything we want, super cheap, immediately, and never worry. It takes a global pandemic to disrupt that luxury, and even then it ends up being more like "you just need to order it a week or two before you need it and it might cost a little more."[/quote]

[quote=Sedai][quote=John McClane]Man, rurality is starting to showcase its ugly side. Because where I live every single store is picked clean of every paper product known to man.[/quote]

It was bad around here for a couple of weeks, but seems to have leveled off lately. Still hard to find Lysol, though.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane][quote=Sedai][quote=JoaoRodrigues]thank god i don't live in america, having to buy toilet paper from the internet. that's a all new level of pathetic.[/quote]
Thankfully, not all of us here look at tiny, anecdotal singular events when judging other countries, because that would be a totally new level of pathetic.[/quote]Yup, that's a burn alright.

[quote=Sedai]Plenty at the stores around where I live, which is in America.[/quote]Man, rurality is starting to showcase its ugly side. Because where I live every single store is picked clean of every paper product known to man.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]Sadly, the Internet has convinced people they understand circumstances all over the world based on whatever meticulously curated bits of news happen to reach them (and which they happen to retain, for that matter).[/quote]
