The first time people got into literal fist fights in supermarkets over toilet paper, my faith in the rational ability of most humans was shaken. The third time around, it was gone. By now my expectations of humans are, sadly, extremely limited.
- mmmpop 4y agoHmm I'm bothered by people hauling trailers to horde toilet paper, sure. But I'd absolutely fight you for the last roll on the shelf.
- slfnflctd 4y agoI would wipe my ass with my own hand before I'd engage in any kind of violence over fucking toilet paper. It's absurdly stupid and ethically bankrupt. Violence against another human being should be a last resort for self defense only.
- achenatx 4y agoyou say that from the comfort of your own fully stocked home. When your child is starving your perspective will likely change. Even if it doesnt, other people will be coming for you. If a group attacks other people, someone has to band together to step up to stop them before they come for each individual.
- marcosdumay 4y agoThe thread is about toilet paper, not food. It's a perfectly understandable reaction for lack of food and water. It's absurd for toilet paper. But if you look hard enough, you will find people doing the same for Playstations, so it shouldn't be that surprising. (What does the US people have with toilet paper anyway? It seems to always enter the discourse of survivalists and other kinds of apocalipse dreamers, and anything that happens, it seems to disappear there. It's different on most of the world.)
- klibertp 4y ago> I would wipe my ass with my own hand That's probably not the best of ideas, however the toilet paper frenzy is indeed extremely strange. If it was that crucial, humanity would collectively explode from all the stuff they could not push out of their asses before toilet paper was invented. Many times over. And it would stink to hell and back, too.
- mmmpop 4y ago> Violence against another human being should be a last resort for self defense only. Idk, or boredom. I hope you don't assume the average fuck on the street has 1/100th the sense of honor you do.
- wardedVibe 4y agoY'all need some bidets...
- nunez 4y agoFinally someone lays down the facts.
- sremani 4y agoAll the while the grocery store essential items are being procured, packed and supplied to your town in the middle of a global pandemic. Getting freshly grown produce, dairy and meat in the middle of apocalypse level panic? I envy world view of people like yours. I wish I had that level of self-entitlement. I truly do!
- taneq 4y agoDo you really think that the “most humans” I’m referring to are the same ones responsible for that still-functional-despite-The-Circumstances supply chain? Those humans are too busy to fight over toilet paper in the aisles, and too competent to run completely out of it in the first place.
