Should the government be encouraging people to "hold it in?"

[Renew Deal]

The much feared toilet paper shortages of 2020 have begun. Should the government be encouraging people to "hold it in?"

1. This toilet paper thing is cracking me up.

Somehow stockpiling TP makes people feel better.

So that’s all good.

2. wipe

coffee filters or socks

10. Duh. Wash cloths, soap, hot water, laundry.

I had an aunt and uncle who got married early in the depression. They were FRUGAL. They continued depression era savings measures for all of their lives. As a result for the rest of their married life into the 1970s they only bought toilet paper when company came over. How much money could you save by not buying toilet paper for 45 years? Probably saved some sewer bills too. Haha.

3. Just don't use newspaper

Many years ago my family was poor, and well...

4. Unless it's the NY Post

Newspapers might be harder to find than TP.

5. NY Post was made for that n/t

6. Almost certainly some people will die leaving behind a large stash

of TP for their families to inherit. TP, sanitizer and store-brand cans of soup.

8. lol

My uncle left me 80 rolls of TP and $2 Million. I donated the money.

13. "Who gets the Angel Soft?"

It will tear families apart.

7. No, just go to using cloth wipes and bleaching the shut out of them

[Pobeka]

9. Absolutely. 30 to 60 days. No problem. Restarting the flow is going to be a problem though...

11. I have a bidet

12. Just scoot across your lawn -- makes the grass greener and entertains the neighbors.

18. LOL

14. I said this in another thread, but it's sound advice

Just use that brush that everyone keeps by their toilet, isn’t it left there for when you run out of TP?

Use it, rinse it off in the sink, put it back for the next person to use.

[Hotler]

15. do you use a front to back motion parallel with the crack,

and do you twirl it any?

[Victor_c3]

17. That question is akin to "do you'll fold or crumple your TP?"

It’s all personal preference. If you want a little extra tickle when you use the brush, I say twirl it.

[BusyBeingBest]

16. You're still going to need TP.

To stop the bleeding.

[LuckyCharms]

19. The handle end, right?

[Victor_c3]

20. That's for the deep clean n/t

[dweller]

21. you mean the guys

😠

[Totally Tunsie]

22. Just because Chump is full of shit, does that mean

we have to be also?

He always looks constipated.
