SHORTAGES ARE CAUSED BY PRICES BEING TOO LOW.
It's supply and demand. When there is an increase in demand the price needs to rise to match it to prevent shortages. Price gouging laws make shortages far worse.

>> No.17802259

Honestly you people laugh at toilet paper hoarders, but you really dont have enough toilet paper yourselves. The average person uses 1 roll per day. If you have a family of 4, that's 28 rolls a week. Over 100 a month. TP rolls will be worth their weight in gold in a few months, because everyone needs it.

Are you living under a rock? TP is cleared everywhere because people gawk and laugh at prepping culture. Instead of healthily buying extra for storage year round a bit at a time, normies just dry out the supply in a complete frenzy.

I'm wondering about this.
Lots of news sources keep saying there is no toilet paper shortage, there are tons of stock as it is manufactured locally, and that people are just buying it up faster than the supermarkets could refill shelves or even faster than truck deliveries could arrive.

But that there is no actual shortage.

This should mean that if you buy online, you can buy as much as you want, with no lines no fighting no hassle. And you'll get it, no problem.
Anyone here tried it?
Is toilet paper easily bought online from sites like online groceries?

Except its not. Its called the supply curve. It costs more money per unit to increase the supply, so suppliers have to charge more to increase supply.

Think of the gas shortages in storms. A lot of times people will truck gas from other areas. It costs a lot to do this, so they have to charge more. But people are happy to pay because otherwise they'd have no gas. But in places with price gouge laws, you can't do this, so no one has gas.

Just think about the implications of this
I don't know about you, but I only have one bowel movement per day. I don't think that's peculiar, but let's say it is and that the average is FOUR shits per day (seems utterly unrealistic to me but I'm being as sympathetic as possible)
If I'm understanding the packaging on my toilet paper, it has ~350 squares of toilet paper per roll. Let's again say that's unusual and that the average figure is 200.
In order to go through a roll in a single day, you'd need to use FIFTY squares of toilet paper for every single one of your four-times-daily shits.
And again, this was using incredibly conservative estimates.
Something is seriously wrong with you if you are having messy enough shits four times a day that you need an enormous wad of toilet paper to get your asshole clean every single time.

Why would the supply need to increase? Its just a temporary spike in demand from all the iq89 retards who are buying 100 rolls.

Once they buy their rolls and the shelves keep getting refilled its back to normal, the only thing that could lead to a longer term shortage is if literally everyone starts thinking they need 100 rolls.

There are no problems with TP supply in Chna, Italy and South Korea which are the hardest hit countries.

Nope. You can sit in the bidet, then open the water. the water jet will hit your butthole. Nice warm water. This will clean at 90%, then you just wash it with some liquid soap, like you do in the shower. I use it since I can remember and it's the best thing.
How I do:
- Take a massive shit.
- Pre-wipe with paper. (the paper can smear all the shit to the butt area)
- Sit on the bidet, open warm water and let the jet do it's thing.
- wash with the liquid soap.
- I have my own little butt towel to clean the water.
And I'm like new.
Good to wash all the dick and ball area. I like to wash with peppermint toothpaste just to have that fresh sensation.
But hey, that's me.
What it prevents:
- hemorroids
- bad cleaned butt
- smelly crotch
- And I wash my feet there also. Clip the nails and carefully wash between fingers.

The first batch of tokens have been minted. 12,750 SHT

These are premium 2 ply tickets. Total of 30 rolls, each with 425 tickets.

Each time we aquire more real toilet paper, we will mint more tokens. Up to a maximum of 1,275,000.

The existing 12,750 SHT are currently backed by real TP holdings.

Airdrops will start soon
