- Tarsul 2y agothe crazy part was that this was a phenomen in many countries. What does this say? That it's human nature? Or that our culture is just too damn similar? I don't know but worth some studies for sure ;)

- vundercind 2y agoIf you see shortages elsewhere, it’s not crazy to prepare by stocking up in case it spreads. I mean, you’re gonna use it eventually either way. The remains true even if the entire and only cause of the shortage is people stocking up for fear of a shortage, and even if you know that.
- input_sh 2y agoA couple of viral posts of empty shelves easily crossed langugage barriers? It's not like every country lives in complete isolation, we all share the same internet.

- silisili 2y agoWe're all doomed. In seriousness, that we're largely not the logical beings we pretend to be, but selfish irrational creatures. Toilet paper isn't even a necessity. Hoarding canned and dry goods I'd kind of understand. Toilet paper was just such an odd choice. Even the producers said they aren't going to make more, there's plenty to go around. Yet people hoarded it like gold.
