When you’re the caretaker of an 88 year old mother with diabetes, you go through that much.

And since you’re a ignorant young male, women dab their urethra after they piss, which my mother does at least a dozen times a day.

You’ll understand after you move out of your parent’s house.

And when one of you “Well, Akshully…” cunts try to save face, you’re wrong, and ignorant, and sound stupid to actual adults.

That’s seems reasonable to me. It’s 6 rolls per one person in 2 weeks. There are times where I think I’d use more, lol.

You take a single sheet to dab water / double-check cleanliness.

Maybe im overthinking it, but couldn’t it have always been deemed endemic? I googled ts and cant grasp it 😂

It’s endemic when it’s just always there, like the common flu. Even if the numbers fluctuate. When it first appears and spreads across borders it’s pandemic.

I’m just happy that the newest electrical code is allowing electrical outlets closer to bathtubs. Otherwise I’d never be able to have a powered bidet on my toilet.

Did GFCI not allow for it?

I’d have to go look up the exact wording, and it’s on my drive that I don’t have hooked up right now. GFCI was required for any outlet in a bathroom, but there was still a ban up until the most recent edition on any outlet within the… shoot, the word/phrase escapes me, something like ‘shower space,’ which includes the area with four horizontal feet of the edge of the bathtub. I have a toilet right next to the shower/tub combo, and a door next to the toilet, which meant no outlet allowed near the toilet and thus no electrically powered bidet.

Wife is not a fan of bidets, I wonder if having a toilet do the same is reasonable? I donno never tried it but always wondered

As a bum gun user, this. Never need the paper unless you want to pat to dry, and then the paper is clean anyway.

Toilet paper is for sneezing, picking up bugs, or dinner table napkins.

You can get fancy bidets that have blow dryers in them if you want the drying part

Had a bidet going into the pandemic. I’d bought a big (grocery store big, not Costco big) package sometime before the runs. I’m still not quite through that pack.

Why do people hoard TP?

Like… So many useful things…

Water

Non-Perishible food/snacks

FM/AM Radios and Two-Way Radios

Satelite Phones

Self-Defence weapons (Or Firearms, if you are in such a jurisdiction that allows it)

Tools

But no, they went for the toilet paper… 🤣 🤦‍♂️

People bought excess of lots of things, toilet paper just was more noticeable more quickly because of it’s huge volume to value ratio, and slow restocking (in part because of that ratio, it’s not worth warehousing so there was little flexibility in the supply chain).

Once the shortage started becoming obvious it was self-perpetuating, you needed to buy what toilet paper you could when you could because you didn’t know when you would be able to buy again. The supermarkets near me at the time had no toilet paper restocked for more than three months as supplies got redirected to “higher priority” stores.

Showerthoughts

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Create post

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
