Anyone else haing problems buying paper towels, TP and water?

habitualwinning · 03-11-20, 04:44 PM

Ya I went to Costco yesterday no tp of any kind or paper towels. 1 case of water per person max. Unreal! Luckily I stock up and do a bit of prep so I have some leeway.

lakerboy · 03-11-20, 04:46 PM

Literally impossible to get toilet paper. Just went to get normal supply and everyone is out.

So one person sneezed and a thousand people s**t their pants. Is that a fair assumption? Unreal how people have panicked.

Bought a turkey baster. Saved on TP.

It's the media that causes this mass hysteria. Same shit happens when a snow storm is coming. Idk why it works but it does. Americans are weak psychologically so they feed off the fear.

The band Tool has a song that lyricises this. "I own a tv cause tragedy thrills me...it's no fun til someone dies." People love this fear and death shit for some reason. Gets everyone all paranoid and fearful which makes them go out and buy 20 packs of tp. Lmao.

Nope....my hotel has it all

Shelves still fully stocked here in Austin, at least the closest stores to me that I visit.

East Coasters and West Coasters must shit a lot more than they do here.

Sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer is all gone though.

No issues in the Carolinas yet. There are a few crazies, but still plenty of paper products and water.

Cuse0323 · 03-11-20, 06:11 PM

Things relatively normal here, but places doing the one case of water per person thing. TP to be had. I assume the old timers already have a years supply on hand, as they have nothing better to do than bargain hunt daily.

JIBBBY · 03-11-20, 06:11 PM

Paper goods worth more then gold.. I've posting on this for a week now..

COME ON MAN!!!

You must learn to wash your hands and air dry, take a shower after a dump to clean off. If you run out of bottled water turn on the tap and drink from that with a filter.. Very simple solutions..

Can even use old clothes to wipe your ass and wash it like a dirty diaper after via old school..

It's crazy how people find a way to profit off of fear. The ironic thing though, is that the people buying stuff off Ebay might just be buying the virus itself. I mean it is shipped in a box that has been touched by who knows how many people isn't it?

I wonder if Jim Beam works as a sanitizer. If so, I should be golden.

90% alcohol kills most germs and virus's on contact..

Jim Bean 67% alcohol .. No dice with that, coming up a little short on alcohol percentage

.... Corona survives with Jimmy washings.

I guess I'm going to have to switch to grain alcohol/Everclear. If I post some weird shitt in the coming days, that is why. I think I am going to stock up on a few things. Iowa just got some cases from a cruise ship or something.

I have plenty of clothes to use as TP though. Been thinking of donating them to the Salvation Army anyway.

Cuse0323 · 03-11-20, 06:28 PM

You only need 60% alcohol, Jim Beam is 43% anyway. Get some Everclear, and good to go. Mix with aloe vera, and burn them hands clean.

RangeFinder · 03-11-20, 06:30 PM

straight rubbing alcohol with lotion will work.

Ok my bad I stand corrected on the Jimmy percentage... I googled Jim Bean percentage.. Copy and paste and I saw 67%..

second distillation in a pot still heats and condenses the liquid into "high wine", which reaches 135 proof (67.5% alcohol).Introduced: 1795, "Old Jake Beam Sour Mash"; ...

Proof (US): 80, 86, 100

Manufacturer: Beam Suntory

No worries. Point remains, as anything worth drinking just isn’t strong enough for dual purposes. Maybe Bacardi 151, but that shit is brutal to drink too, and made for HS kids, though it’s a ticket to the hospital.
