I can confirm, here in Australia we really took it too far with the toilet paper shortages. I saw people taking two full carts of it just before we got hit with lockdowns. I did hear of a few fights too.
At least you had a reason, that same shit happened in America, except we make our own toilet paper so there was never a risk of shortages.
God damn.
toilet paper shortage when so bad in western countries that it became worldwide news, which made us in asia though alot of westerners dun wash their ass🤣🤣
this is why bidet's should be normalized, its a waste of paper and honestly it doesn't even clean that well so you get western countries panicking over toilet paper of all things, like us in Asia never experienced such a thing especially here in Japan like the only concern was the complete lockdown of the country
Pretty bad in Canada, too. Westside, at least.
Completely ignoring the legal aspect of it, it would be *_physically_* impossible to get rid of civilian firearms in the US. We have more guns than people.
Austrailia also has an advantage of being in the middle of no where (not bordering nations that are easy ports of entry for smugglers) and is an inhospitable death-world outside of the handful of civilized areas, and ludicrously strict customs. The only reason the Prison Nation has any issues is because of the rampant political corruption.
Even if America banned guns, criminals would still easily get them.
And just like everywhere else in the world, while gun violence among non-career criminals would drop, every other form of violence would skyrocket and remain basically the same.
If someone planned to kill a bunch of people they'd just switch and use home-made bombs (which even with guns banned, would still be very easy to make for someone who knew what they were doing) or poison or steal a large vehicle and run people over if they didn't have the smarts for the bombs/poison.
Single targets of muder would just get knifed or shiv'd.
Yeah, there's definitely a couple of houses that have a hidden stockpile. Hell, a home in Australia was found by police to have a underground range.
Canada: "You should get rid of your guns!"
Also Canada: "We like to Medically assist our sick people expiring!"
@@ZanathKariashi Lot harder to kill people with knives/vehicles rather than guns. In the UK during the 2017 London Bridge attack, three guys drove a van into pedestrians and got out to start stabbing people in a pre-planned attack, and only killed 8 people before they were stopped. Compare that to the 2021 Plymouth shooting (again in the UK) where a single guy just snapped one day and managed to kill 6 people by himself thanks to the fact he had a gun.
@@lamalama4206 Wait, why is your example of it being easier to kill with a gun a situation where the gunman killed less people that the dude with the truck? I don’t doubt that shooting people is easier but that seems strange to me
Very Serious Business is a pretty great IH video. Its an anthology of times big business got fucked with by internet people.
Harassment bad.
@@JoshSweetvale Its just a funny video morality cop. There's a difference between supporting something and neutrally making/ laughing at a funny video about it.
@@JoshSweetvaleIt also shows just how out of touch these businesses are with their target audiences. All the scams and trolls they fell for can be spotted by anyone that's been on the internet for at least a year.
@@JoshSweetvale oh my god. First time hearing this. What a brave and unique take
@@heeman1203 If you think InternetHistorian doesn't support /b, you've got another thing coming.
Ah, the classics.
I can hear his voice so clear 🤣
9:53 I mean, they lost a war against the emus. There's plenty of disappointment to go around.
in all fairness it was 3 guys with 2 guns
Yeah.
@@Datboi57438Weren't they machine gunners?
@tonypeppermint5329 yea but Lewis guns kinda suck and emus can take 3-4 bullets and keep running. They tried mounting the gun on a car but the terrain was to bumpy to aim well. Eventually they put a bounty on emus.
@gidi3250 3 guys vs 20000 birds is always going to end badly
As a Australian, HUGE disagree with the gun restriction part, we can't even have tasers or pepper spray and if you have to defend yourself, you better be in within the force they deem is warranted otherwise you're the criminal they arrest and charge.
BTW, still hasn't dampened our homicide rate by any means and we still have shootings while being on our way to being in a police state like the UK.
Didn't they also have restrictions on airsoft guns and paintball guns or am I thinking of another country?
@@sammy_wills I'd bet good money that's the case, I know for certain that even gel blasters aren't safe from restrictions/bans neither because they are considered "firearms".
@@sammy_willsYeah, paintball, airsoft and Gel Blasters are restricted, depending on which location you're in.
People think Australia did things right because the news coming out of the country is controlled to keep up the impression that crime is practically nonexistent.
Keep in mind that Alicia has stated in another react video that she get's real nervous around firearms and is very much against them in general, so her opinion is very much bias.
In a hypothetical situation where I meet Alisha in person. I'm going to bring an orange, and place it on the nearest table before we start talking or whatever. Just to see how she reacts. I, of course, won't bring up the orange until she does.
Please forgive me
Huh?
what
Do it.
Please don't bother people irl, be cool
Here's the really funny bit. I'm in college for a history degree. In order to do history you need primary sources, which are basically just people who lived in the time period basically just telling us what occured, like letters and diary's.
This video from Internet Historian counts as a primary source. That is all.
It's the same as Wikipedia sources; even if you can't cite then directly, just pop into the description and citations, and cite the individual articles that your source is sourcing from
Yeah, about the Australian gun control thing...murder went down and literally every other violent crime rate went up. _So..._
So it was a transfer
i mean people are gonna commit crimes, its the easiest and least risky ways to commit crimes you wanna remove
So...?
Exactly. You can’t stop the criminals. Might as well arm the law abiding citizens
@@_Trash_Goblinit's simple no matter what you do people will die
when it comes to owning guns i always say when someone with a gun enters your home wanting to rob and kill you and seconds matter police is just minutes away
A fair point, but only if you live in an actually dangerous neighbourhood. If you live in your average suburb, no one is coming to rob and kill you. Saying you need a gun to protect yourself in that kind of place is like saying you need to always wear rubber boots in case you get struck by lightning.
@@Angrenost02 ya nothing bad ever happens in a suburb we all know that its a PVE zone
@@Angrenost02 Better to have a tool and never need it than to need it desperately but not have it.
@@redacted1093 It depends on the tool I'd say. Especially if said tool is dangerous.
@@VNPEXE0 Did I say that?
Pointing to Australia as the poster child of how good gun grabs is is grossly misleading.
The Aussie neck has a permanent boot indent.
@@MDTako People always joke about Australia being a country born of convicts, they always forget the part where we are also born from the prison guards and wardens as well.
Gun grabbing is always evil. All my homies hate the ATF
I do believe the term is: “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” I may be British but DAMMIT I NEED MY 2A!
While I really hope that its 100% true, Australia's gun situation just feels really hard to believe. Australia has so much wild life that will fn wreck you whenever it wants to, and humans are not fast enough to run away from many of them either. You probably aren't surviving getting kicked by an angry red roo, jumped by a croc, stomped by an ostrich, singled out by a few dingo, or bitten by any of the long list of venomous reptiles. So it's kida hard to believe that none of the mfs that call the outback home are packin even a little?
lmao at that one guy in chat who brought up Rittenhouse as if it wasn't proven beyond a reasonable doubt that his case was self-defense
That's not just me saying that, the trial footage is online, you can literally watch it right now
People STILL refuse to get it, no matter how open-and-shut the case is.
@@cryw1092 Acting like Rittenhouse just shot some guy for no reason is at least a good way to let you know whether someone is pants-on-head ret*rded or otherwise willfully ignorant.
he cross state lines with intention to go to a protest/riot (depends on who you ask) with an fully automatic weapon i don't care what the law says he is a piece of shit because of course if your at a protest/riot and you see a guy with a fully automatic weapon your gonna assume the worse because of the rise in mass shootings. Fuck that kid
That guy is deranged anyways. Turns every video I see into a rant about Trump regardless of topic it seems. This one he says Trump "did nothing" when he banned travel from China so fast Biden called him xenophobic (yet Biden approves of the travel ban now) and Trump also orchestrated the Warp Speed vaccine project which ironically, now Trump supporters criticize him for cuz they don't like "the vax". Regardless if good or bad though, he didn't "do nothing".
@@mr.ilikespam6081 "hE cRoSsEd sTaTe liNeS"
Ah, yes, because crossing state lines(even if the border is like 10 minutes from your house) is apparently like sneaking across the border to another country, and so no one has any reason to go to another state(even to act as a medic), and doing so completely negates your right to defend yourself from harm. You seem blissfully unaware of how stupid you sound. You can't even say he crossed state lines with the gun, he picked it up there so he could defend himself if necessary
"if your[sic] at a protest/riot and you see a guy with a fully automatic weapon your[sic] gonna assume the worse because of the rise in mass shootings"
So you're asserting those people were just morons who got scared and did the stupidest thing of their lives(even though it's quite well-documented that THEY DELIBERATELY ASSAULTED HIM FIRST AND CONTINUED TO DO SO AS HE FLED)... which still means he shot them in self-defense. Please, for God's sake, never become a defense attorney
"i don't care what the law says"
If you think Rittenhouse is in any way the bad guy here, you already made that quite apparent, you didn't have to say it. Stfu, go watch the trial and come back when you're more well-informed
SHES CANADIAN!?!?!?!? That explains so much....
Honestly I never had the toilet paper problem. My grandmother would win toilet paper at bingo and I never thought much of it until the virus happened. Luckily, we had more than enough toilet paper during the entire pandemic
Hey Alicia. Happy Sunday, hope your week goes well
Thank you! You too!
I would like for you to watch colion noir and a UK cop talk about guns in the UK, or watch colions response to Australia most recent mass gun incident. I know you wanted us to chill but, I hate it when people think america has all the bad people with guns. 10:26
Your comment on pranks and consent rings so true to me. I remember reading this passage in a short sci-fi novel: "A good prank is a prank where everybody is laughing at the end."
Got to love chat now thinking Internet Historian is too edgy/gross because he covered edgelords, found at least one thing they did in the past funny, and still has the videos up post controversy.
People are insanely fickle. We all have heard or seen crazier things other people had done, and what is one out of pocket joke going to do to somebody?
"Australia got it right with gun restrictions."
Australians literally can't own a *slingshot* .
Australians can still own guns they just need a reason to have a gun, that is not self defence. The law states that the owner must be over the age of 18, have a safe method of storage, and must undertake gun safety training. There are also different types of licences for collectors and heirloom holders.
@@WeLostTheEmuWarOR
Snag one from someone who HAVE a licence for a price and hide it in the Queensland
@@WeLostTheEmuWarThe fact they don’t consider self defense a valid reason to own a gun is absolutely mind blowing. That’s like saying you can’t own a car if you need it for work.
therein lies the problem@@WeLostTheEmuWar. If JAPAN's gun control didn't save their former prime minister why on earth would it work on a much large landmass?
If you make gun ownership for self defense illegal, only criminals will have guns.
I TOTALLY agree with the requirement for gun safety training and such, but relying on the police when a criminal can kill you in moments let alone minutes when police take 15 minutes to get there that's too long.
@@johnj.spurgin7037 I get what you are going for, but using Japan's gun laws as a point is kinda self defeating. Japan had 4 gun related homicides in 2022, with two of them being gang related. In fact, the total number of gun related homicides in Japan from 2013 to 2022 would be only take 4.17 days for Florida alone to match. Not only that, but the gun that the Abe's killer used was a junkyard shotgun that he made using the knowledge that he got in the military, not a regular ol' gun that he bought from a store.
I personally think what twomad did was funny at the time but I genuinely think he did go somewhat insane and needs some mental help
Honestly surprised he was able to do all that since can't the host force mute everybody, or specific people and disable camera? If not, why? That is an important feature.
@@indiana47 We're dealing with boomers. Do you really think they have any modern tech literacy?
@@nickkelley9139 that's what I was thinking. Because I'm pretty sure they had the means to deal with the intruders, but just didn't know how to use the app/site. I am pretty sure my professors have used the very abilities I listed.
yeah his mental issues really got terrible and he died of a drug overdose
the place where there are Gun restrictions are often flooded with mass stabbings so... the problem was not fixed honestly my gal
(im not american before you asume)
im sorry but guns can kill more people quickly and i would rather get stabbed then shot
The amount of cases where people use guns in self defense (in America) as appose to crimes is a big difference.
Also yes America has the top 3 of most gun violence in a country, if you dig a bit deeper take away cities with the strictest gun laws Las Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Saint Lewis we would be much lower. like not even the top 20.
if you don't like guns Alicia then don't. but I would recommend you try shooting some time.
you might actually enjoy it;)
for the record it wasn't all lollipops and rainbows in Australia during the pandemic, the government was able to constrict rights of its citizens because they knew no-one had means to fight back.
also for the record Sexual Assault is the most common crime in Australia. Most victims are women. Might sound dumb to some, but if the ladies could carry a piece, Then maybe those who refuse to listen could understand no means no. . . . . . or just not be a problem anymore XD
You HAVE to watch part 2. Love your channel, Alicia. Hope the treatment is going well.
Nope. Gotta disagree with the guns. Australia is inundated with things that wish to kill you, it’s only a matter of time till they take over and those folks ain’t gonna survive. Granted guns didn’t work on the Emus so what do I know? Banger vid Alicia
I'll be honest. The fact that toilet paper became scarce was so hilarious because I felt so ahead of the curve for owning a bidet.
But for real, I somehow treat wiping as an absolute last resort like boiling piss and cacthing moisture off the steam for water
I was the dude in the forklift at 11:31. Everyone getting crazy, meanwhile my dumb-ass just loading another truck full of TP like "we're not running out....please stop." Fun times.
I agree, Alicia. If someone commits any act of mass violence, or indeed, any criminal act, we shouldn't put them on the news unless they're at large and the police want help catching them. Terrorists want publicity, we shouldn't give it to them. Unfortunately, our media only cares about profits, not about preventing tragedies. In fact, the more tragedies that happen, the more eyeballs they get on their news shows/papers/sites, so it's not in their interest to prevent mass shootings by refusing to name the shooter.
Today I learned Orange Juice can cure cancer. I'm going to file that for later just in case.
Lol no.
The ban on guns in Australia did absolutely nothing to influence already existing trends of violent crime and crime overall.
They started going downward way before it was implemented.
I was a big fan of twomad and I dont agree with what he did but I still think his content is funny and deserves appreciation although the person doesn't
I'm kind of the opposite. I don't know the full story of what he did so I don't have an opinion of the guy. I used to find the twomad section of this video funny but not anymore, it's just whatever now. I tend to find shock humour funny, like nine years ago when I first discovered 9/11 memes I found them hilarious. But once the shock wears off they became boring.
I whole heartedly agree, just because somebody makes an edgy joke doesn't mean he means it. The assault stuff is pushing it if he really did it, but many people think he didn't. Even Jameskii tried to ruin him, but he was just being vengeful for a video about him that got deleted, whole thing was fishy.
I'm still a fan of Twomad. He's a freak, but that makes him him.
I remember when toilet paper shortages hit my town at the time, I almost panicked when I couldn't find any, but was saved by the Dollar Tree. It's crazy to me that nobody hit the Dollar Tree like every other store in town, sure it was "lesser" quality TP, but it was always in stock there so I was quite grateful lol

I'm sure you're quite aware, but the NordVPN guy looks like that only because his previous sponsor mascot for Raid Shadow Legends was that guy in a black outfit.
Unaffected by the toilet paper hysteria. I have a bidet at home.
Only thing I found hard to get was yeast for making bread... Suddenly all people locked at home started making their own bread...
For my house there was one bidet and 8 people. Good thing we already had a stockpile.
The toilet paper panic was frustrating bc already back then I thought it was ridiculous and im like "does no one else think this is stupid? Why yall hoarding"
As an Asian person I can confirm we don't use toilet paper here. We don't have a "dry toilet" cause our toilet and our shower room is one room. The way we wash our backdoor is we poor water down our crack slowly and scrub with our hand, then we wash both our hand and our ass with body wash. I've been taught that by everyone I know since I was 3.
Rule for pranks. Confuse, don't abuse.
We are absolutely crazy in Australia when it comes to over buying and panic buying at that.
Toilet paper was not the only thing that was off shelves. During that time. It was literally staples that were gone as well; breads pasta, pasta sauces, one old lady literally took one look at the the aisles with nothing on it and broke down in tears.
So the I'm not a cat zoom thing is even more funny when you realize it was a lawyer on a zoom call talking with a judge.. so his panic was was due to not wanting to disrespect the judge and his case
Didnt knew twomad got cancelled. Pretty funny how %1 managed to cancel the guy even kpop stans couldnt cancel
Just because someone got cancelled by people doesn't mean you are forced to ignore them, watch whoever you want.
“Grand Wizard VPN 🎉!!”
Auto mod: 😂🔫😡 “wanna rethink that?”
I was living just outside a small town in america during summer 2020, and my favorite memory is grocery shopping with my aunt. As we're standing there figuring out what we need, I hear a woman gasp and just say "oh my god there's toilet paper." Like 10 people immediately turned their carts around and headed in that direction bc every paper product had been mostly out of stock for weeks fkkffmmff
I work at Walmart as a cart pusher, and I remember it being insanely busy every day for about a year and a half during the pandemic. It was like Black Friday 24/7. Toilet paper was flying off the shelves, all hand sanitizer bottles and wipes were getting sold out immediately, and The cart garages would immediately go empty after a minute. And this was with a capacity limit of 1000 customers going in and out a single entrance. Oh, also we had a fire. Twice.
As an Aussie who worked in a supermarket, can confirm people lost their minds over toilet paper. We would need someone watching the aisles to make sure fights didn’t break out. When we opened, you’d think it was Black Friday everyday given how people immediately booked it to the toilet paper aisle, and we’d always sell out within an hour at longest.
I was lucky because a few weeks before the pandemic hit I bought this massive bundle of toilet paper that was on sale. Like a bulk bag with about 30-40 rolls. My family thought I was stupid. They did not think that after the shelves were cleared 2 weeks later
Retail Manager here; there were no fights at my store but the toilet paper sections were out for months because of the mass panic.
People really are dumb panicky animals. -_-
The Aussie government got downright tyrannical during the lockdown
"What's the difference between a vitamin and a hormone? You can't make a vitamin." -Benny Hill
I was the same as Alicia. I live alone and had just bought a whole new bulk pack of toilet paper. It lasted me well beyond quarantine.
My favorite was the Belarusian PM deadass telling his nation "Bruh, just drink vodka, forehead. Vodka kills the germs, no?"
Somone in twitch chat at 10:28 said that Australia is the Florida of english speaking countries and I have never been so mad in my entire life.
any gun restriction is a bad restriction
If gun laws don't work, why are gun deaths and mass shooting per capita so much lower in countries that have them?
I saw ONE prank video on youtube that I liked. It was a car with "Honk if you worship Satan" bumper sticker. And every time someone honked, the trunk would open, and a guy dressed as Jesus would glare at them and give them a disapproving head shake.
I worked in retail through the Varus, and I can confirm, within a day we were sold out. I was just left thinking "it doesn't give you the s***'s 😂😂😂
During the early days of the pandemic, my friend who's a dentist put some toilet paper in the office bathroom and around ten minutes later one of his colleagues or one of the patients asked for more toilet paper and he found out that someone stole a new roll of toilet paper from their toilet.
Around that time, my family and I were trying to find some toilet paper for the entire day and went through roughly 12-ish stores (that's including a gas station) to find a packet of 4 rolls of toilet paper. The places we went through were cleared out from toilet paper, tissues, napkins and kitchen paper towels. We thought of going to our nearest Costco, but we had a feeling that they were going to be chock-a-block with people and would be sold out of toilet paper.
"I was depressed in 2020 and had groceries delivered to me."
...same.
Also yeah, you can't say this was the most disappointing thing overall to happen in the same country that lost a war to emus.
When the bidet breaks i also use the bucket
Yay more IH! Do his "he will not divide us" series. Or his "serious buisness" vid!
Covid literally didn't affect me at all. I was at my senior year of high school (class of 2020 bby) and I did nothing but play video games all day for about half a year
OMG I WAS WAITING FOR THAT .. I WAS LITERALLY LIKE *GAAAAAASP* WHEN I SAW THIS IN MY FEED RN
"You can't shoot upwards, don't you know how guns work?"
Bruh moment.
Is it kind of amazing how quickly nature reasserts itself when nobody is around to prevent it.
I just bought one 32-pack of TP and by the time we ran out, the TP panic was over and the shelves were already re-stocked. By sheer dumb luck, I missed the entire TP rush by buying that like three days before the news started running stories about TP supplies running low.
for some reason Staples always had toilet paper during thevarus. it was my little secret
as an English man gotta disagree with the gun control take it's not just Americans that wanna be able to defend themselves.
As an Englishman myself why do you need a gun for protection? Squirrels? Pheasants? Oh I know it must be the pigeons? Wait wait, silly me, hedgehogs of course!
@@decrulez bruh I'm not worried about the wildlife. I'm worried about criminals cus them and the police are the only people with guns in the UK so if someone pulls a gun on you you're fucked. crime is only going up my guy there's still shootings in England the only difference is that here the criminals know they will always have the advantage because nobody else has the means to protect themselves.
plus the laws here are so messed up that even if you somehow manage you defend yourself you'll probably be arrested for assault anyway which just makes people more likely to comply with criminals and only emboldens their behaviour.
TLDR: animals aren't the problem people are.
@@thomascannone3111 so your solution is more guns... that means more criminals have guns.
Yes we have shootings, how many per year? Now compare that to America and say that’s what you’d prefer.
@@decrulez it doesn't matter how MANY guns the criminals have, only that they are the only ones who have them. but if the criminals now have to worry about the fact that the people they try to hurt could actually fight back they will be less likely to commit crime. looking at America the vast majority of gun crime happens in the areas with the most gun control because these are the places where criminals feel safe to threaten people.
So yes my solution is to give guns to law abiding citizens that have to prove they are responsible enough to not misuse them. clearly you don't care about my actual arguments though you just wanna straw-man me as being some kinda dumbass so rather than try and change your mind here I'll just tell you to reseaarch it yourself cus this isn't gonna go anywhere.
You're completely dismissing what he's said about defending one's self from a potential criminal with a gun,
"so your solution is more guns" that's your response? Seriously? If we lived in a world with no guns, never had been invented, and the main weapon of choice for criminals were knives or anything of the kind, would your response to a person wanting to get a knife for protection be
"so your solution is more knives?" I really don't understand the thought process
With the toilet paper, my brother worked at a gas station, so every day when he got him for work before the gas station opened up he would set aside a couple boxes of toilet paper to bring home
twomads zooms calls are the funniest shit lmaoooo
The toilet paper thing was so damn funny, especially where I live here in finland. People started panicking and hoarding toilet paper... In a country where forestry and paper products are like a significant portion of the whole industrial economy.
Factories just kept their machines on overnight, brought in the night shifts, and they were printing money as people expected a shortage, again, in a country well versed in forestry and paper products.
To a prepper like me the toilet paper panic was kinda surreal. While everyone at work paniced and there were literal riots at the supermarket over the last rolls all I had to do was go to my storage room and grab a pack from the pile. Didn't even need to ration. I even gave some rolls to my coworkers for small favors. Same with the other hot commodities like flour and dry pasta :v
You can tell from the rasp in her breath that she lacks vitamin C and midiclorians. Make sure you remind her to top up chat.
Alicia talking about the bucket gave me flashbacks to Demolition Man's Three Sea Shells. 😂 But I can put together how the bucket method works given my knowledge of Southeast Asia.
For perspective, this spread to the point that even here in sweden I saw noticeably bare shelves of toilet paper. People can not be trusted to behave, neither politely or rationally.
I disagree with the gun control part cause just because one puts laws like that doesn’t mean CRIMINALS are going to follow the rules and will get or out right BUILD guns which is possible especially with 3D printing. Also UK tried this and guess what happened: Stabbings galore and the police once tried to use tasers on a guy wielding two knives and the tasers didn’t do shit and the guy almost manages to plunge one of those two knives into a officer’s chest. Also cause I’m in favor of the second amendment and what it was supposed to be used for: to fuck up the government if they became tyrannical which you gotta see instances like Ruby Ridge and WACO.
Its even funnier hearing she didint even know about that 5G crap
I love how hypocritical the Twomad cancellation was.
Yeah, people have seen and heard worse, and freaked out when he did it just because he was famous. Edgy jokes don't mean they truly believe it, not like words can hurt somebody.
I had to get some toilet paper from my mom's house because the shortage struck just as I was running out lol
I was working retail the UK when CoViD hit, and while I don't think things ever got as bad as they did in Aussie, and the Americas, I can confirm that working shops at that time, sucked. HARD!
Not only were we all terrified of getting the virus (not least because it took weeks for us to get decent PPE), but the same panic buying hysteria hit us too. Not just toilet paper, but hand sanitiser, food, baby formula, you name it. A few weeks into lockdown, half our aisles were just completely bare.
And when new stock came in, and we had to enforce limits? Oooohh, people didn't like that at all. Seriously, if workers were paid relative to how much shit they have to put up with, retail workers would be rolling in cash right now.
American. Every time something crazy happened during 2020, my brother and I would sing "The Plagues" from Prince of Eygpt.
When _The Varus_ started and everyone flipped their shit over toilet paper (including my elderly parents), I looked over at the four rolls remaining in my bathroom and did a quick calculation how long that usually lasts me in my single-person household. I decided, "If I limit the amount of mummy cosplay, then this should last me long enough that the panicked 'run' on TP will be long over by the time I need more. If people are _still_ acting crazy and hoarding the stuff like gold by that point, then we, as a society, have bigger problems than my dirty ass."
When I finally went out to buy more, the shelves were fully stocked again, and hardly anybody was having fistfights over packs of TP anymore. And those that did seemed personal, and not shortage-related.
I was a woolies checkout operator at the time and I can attest we gave up restocking the public loo within days of this shit starting as the paper would just vanish within 5 minutes. First fucker in there would just nick the roll every time ended up just putting an out of order sign on it. A lot of customers got very verbally abusive when we implemented the limit as well
I never understood that. Why are links cringe? How are you supposed to find the original source and not some copy?
Probably so bots cant spam links in the comments
6:20 we didn't buy much toiletpaper. The stores where i live were fast enough to limit it to one package per household that we never had a complete outage of it. We did however buy an extra week worth of canned food and other things with a long shelf life so that we wouldn't have to rely on others if we had to go in to quarantine
Remember what the Joker said in the dark knight?
"You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, they'll eat each other." True AF
Kinda describes cancel culture doesn't it?
Ooooo TwoMad made a joke about a dead tranny being his girlfriend? So what!
Y'all haven't done shit about Keemstar showing underage naked girls on his past live streams.
You all just don't like TwoMad cos he isn't "woke", he isn't your stereotype of a black man, even though in his heart he'll always be our Korean
Of course, Westerners don't know how the Bucket (or Tabo in the Philippines) work.
I'm surprised Alicia knows how it works, kudos.
and people forgot soap exists.
Tabo gang
Have you seen any video from Professor Lando?, he provides real lessons about the dumbest topics lmao. Also, thanks for more internet historian~
I'm new on the channel and recently knew about your health situation, I hope everything gets better and better with your treatment, take care~
The bucket method includes your hands. After doing the deed, just wash your hands and ass with a lot of water and soap.
This is efficient, effective, and works like a charm. The only downside is that you may develop specific kinks, but for some, that's a win.
I don’t know why but “medical advice” from people who aren’t doctors is one of the funniest things to me! I’m now imagining an Avengers Endgame army of Orange Juice drinkers, Garlic eaters, Keto nuts, and other health loons trying to fight cancer. Lmao
As a retail worker at the time. It was very quiet because I worked Produce lmao
Gonna tell my kids I survived an apocalypse

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD I CACKLED SEEING THE DAMN RAIDEN FIGURE
Don't you know, some old slave owners from over 200 years ago said we should have muskets, that means I get to have a fully automatic assault rifle. They could see the future and absolutely intended this.
they didn't even intend for the 2nd amendment to be for the individual. Gun bros tend to forget that for the majority of this nation's history, the 2nd amendment only applied to those who were members of state militias and not the individual. It wasn't until 2008 that the supreme court ruled that the 2nd amendment did apply to the individual, arguing that anybody could technically be a part of the militia. And there were some interesting stuff going on in '08 that conservatives and libertarians were doing and saying that made a whole lot of sense when this ruling came around
I got mine free, but I had an endless supply of the large commercial TP rolls just incase. I work in a warehouse and theres enough TP in our custodial stock to last a couple thousand people a few years.
Ah Nikocado Avocado, the man in the red shirt who screamed in lower case. He's an interesting one, but also a drama hound.
Yeah I remember at one point during the beginning of that whole 2020 dilemma. For like 2 months I had to rags. Couldn't find no toilet paper anywhere. Literally was using like $50 in gas a week. Luckily I work the job where they didn't have to shut down because it was considered one of the needed ones. But yeah that s*** was rough literally
I lived by myself so I upgraded from 4 to a 6 pack and called it mission accomplished
The whole Twomad thing is wild.
Hes basically "cancelled" for just doing what he always does which is he made a wild out of pocket joke on twitter but this time it was about a recently dead trans person so twitter (it wasnt transphobic it just had them involved)
(please correct me if im wrong in this) and then he was accused of sexual assault by his ex and even tho no proof was given people just assumed it was real and then YTber Jameskii (i think) helped her take him to court for it cus he still has a vendetta against Twomad from a vid TM made about him which he deleted 5 mins after he uploaded it.
if anyone has any info to correct me on please do so, this is all info ive gotten from twitter and a few podcasts talking about the situation.
Still doesn't give me a reason to not enjoy him. Twitter is a bunch of sensitive fickle freaks, we all seen crazier stuff in the past. What is one wild joke going to do to people? And yeah the accusation is out there and Jameskii was being vengeful, but still, I can still enjoy his content.
He also said he didn't know she was a minor or that she was killed.
The toilet paper shortage hysteria even spread to Sweden. There of course was no real shortage in supplies in warehouses or in production, but instead it was induced by hysteria where people hoarded it, causing peaks in demand that the just-in-time supply chain didn't handle. At the same time you have peak in demand, too few truck drivers to handle deliveries to cope with the peak, and no stockpiling in stores or limiting of purchase. So the peak just kept snow ploughing forwards, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy so to say of "there is a TP shortage".
I was ashamed of my fellow citizens.
