Very weird how many people think TP will be as valuable as gold in a Post-Apocalyptic world. If anything, it's a death magnet. Somebody wants it, they're gonna kill you for it, not trade. Food for thought :P
shareWhy do modern westerners value their toilet paper so much and act as if it's a necessity for survival? People have lived without toilet paper until very recently and I'm sure a lot of people even today continue to live without it in 3rd world countries. Hell, even my grandparents used to tell me stories of how they wiped their asses with leaves back in the good ol' days.
So what's the deal? What kind of retarded thinking is that in the case of a societal collapse, the first thing you're gonna need is an accessory that makes you feel more comfortable after shitting?
Sometimes I wish for some crisis to happen just so that these spoiled retards are forced to rethink their priorities.
Hygiene is enormously important for remaining healthy, inoffensive and having pleasant 'relations' with your partner
Toilet Paper, body wash, bars of soap, toothpaste...They'll be as valued as bullets and firewood if things really get out of hand
No way, there are easily home made substitutes for all of the above. Remaining healthy I can agree on, and taking care of your teeth is important, but having a piece of soft paper to wipe your ass with would be a luxury most people wouldn't have on their priority list.
But it all depends on how serious and long the crisis would be. If we're talking few months or years of depression, then sure, people will still care about such things...but a total collapse of civilization that may last for decades, even centuries? Eventually even the largest stockpiles will be exhausted and only the few will have the privilege to care about anything more than surviving till the next day.
I hear you but dirty body sex is totally unappealing...I need ALL OF IT clean and preferably shaven down somewhat...TMI, apologies👍
I never would have wanted to get laid if I was a caveman...that just seems gross
The Sears Catalogue was very popular for its use as toilet paper.
Also, people panic too easily. Panic’s not conducive to thought.
Oh don't get me started, it's happening here again:

Stupid people never learn.
I never stockpile. Everywhere I go, there's food walking around all over the place :D
