    Y’all are gonna roast the shit out of me, but I really have a strong urge to buy toilet paper before all the weirdos start clearing the shelves (which I am fully aware makes me one of the weirdos)

          Buy them now while you can leverage remaining on shore inventory.

          Also, get your car maintenance done now.

        Having just spent 2 weeks in japan, I’m not looking forward to my first poop at home. Am going to be looking at cost of upgrading.

            Feh, you vastly underestimate how crap I am at plumbing.

            Like the comic relief janitor of old, I have a gift for picking up every wrong part before I find the one I need.

              If you’re that unsure of your abilities, spend a bit more and get one of the replace the whole seat kind of bidets. Literally All I had to do was disconnect the waterline, install the t-junction, then reconnect the waterline. Plug the provided hose into both items, install with some thumb screws and enjoy your wet butthole.

        I want one so bad, but I can’t get the husband on board. I have considered just buying it and installing it myself via the “do it anyways and ask for forgiveness” method, but dunno if butt spray is a battle I’m willing to choose yet. I just want to convince him it’s a good idea.

          They’re very easy to install. It’s almost as easy as installing a shower head.

          There are also compact battery powered portable handheld bidets that work about as well as the real thing. I have one I take with me on trips.

            I have a portable one too and it’s not exactly what I’d call discreet but sure gets the job done. Honestly can’t recommend it for travel though because in spite of the “portable” label, it’s terribly bulky and causes me no end of grief when trying to take it on an airplane. Your experience may be different, here’s the one I’ve got.

          They’re not mandatory if they’re attached. It’s not gonna jump out and douse your butt without you asking.

      Still have my emergency supplies from covid. During the really scarce time, I ended up buying some of those massive rolls that go in public toilets, totalled 2.4km of tissue paper in the box.

      I mean this is the reason there are shortages. People fear shortages, so they buy extra so they wouldn’t be hit with the shortages, actually causing the shortage.

      The whole toilet paper thing was hilarious

      We chose to do a little bit of “buying ahead.” Where I would buy one pack of TP, I bought a second one, and when we use the first I’ll get another. Nothing we’re not going to use within a few months anyway, not looking to build a TP throne but just a bit of cushion. We were already mostly doing this anyway since covid because it seems like there’s random shortages here and there that didn’t happen prior, or at least not enough to notice.

      Really, nothing beyond what I’d want to have for a natural disaster where we’re on our own for a few days. Trying to be prudent without being a weirdo.
