    Bidets are coincidentally popping up everywhere for sale for dirt cheap on Amazon. (In all seriousness, though, that's going to be the next thing that will be in short supply, won't it?)

    I suggest people start using their underwear and go commando.

    Lettuce or banana peels might work

    okay, that's pretty funny.

    ....... come to think of it, I do have several bags of frozen kale in the other freezer.

    Thankfully I just bought a huge package at Target last week before the masses went on their panic TP-buying spree. I went to Kroger last night and they were wiped out and I wanted to punch everyone who bought TP in the face. Not because I needed TP (we'll be fine for several weeks), but because those people are stupid and deserve to be *kitten*-slapped.

    On a positive note, maybe this will inspire people to do the Family Cloth, which can only help the environment, right?

    I don't understand that. It's not like you can easily install a bidet in your bathroom.

    A "sorta prepper" friend of mine told me not to worry, take old clothes (he mentioned T shirts), cut them into squares and use those. Wash, rinse and repeat. Hey, if you have to... but EWWW!🤢

    You wanted to punch people who bought TP in the face? What if they needed it? :laugh:

    So is this really not just a meme? I walked into a store yesterday and walked out with toilet paper in hand, didn’t even have to do any elbow drops. I mean i know there are shortages but is it as bad as people make it sound?

    oh and if i had to have it i probably just steal it from work. you can easily walk out with one or two rolls a day as long as you act like you're supposed to have them they won't even ask just be confident

    This applies to a lot of things

    It's getting that way in my area (Oklahoma). Some stores had bare shelves, others were half empty. By the end of the weekend I expect most stores be out unless they receive new shipments.

    Receipt from CVS? That’s usually about as long as a regular roll of toilet paper anyway... not quite the mega rolls though.
