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.

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."
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
@@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
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.
@@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 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.
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...
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
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 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
@@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.
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.
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
10:30 No. Australia has an entirely different culture to America. Gun restrictions don't work here because we have a Second Amendment right and building and smuggling guns is way too easy.
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?
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
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"
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?
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
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.
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)
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
"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.
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.
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. -_-
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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
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.
I was a whatever employee (the ones who had permissions to go into work still and were supposed to barring sickness) and I remember how glorious driving was then, and seeing animals come along and chill next to me just full on woodland deer and shit. Was great.
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.
I personally can’t wait for you to start reacting to TheRussianBadger(a bonus fact is that his friend Heavenly is also a VTuber like you) but for the sake of your health I must warn you, his videos are I would describe as *painfully funny.*
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
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~
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 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.
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
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.
Here in the Philippines, I'm not sure if the toiler paper craze hit. Maybe in areas where the water pressure tends to fluctuate, but by and large we use buckets and scoopers to wash ourselves. My family specifically didn't join the stupidity, and I'm not sure if we ever fell for price gouging of important stuff like face masks.
"Australia got it right with their gun restrictions" Me full blooded American "Sounds like tyranny to me" Edit: Not glorifying killers I can agree with.
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 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.

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.
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."
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
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
"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 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.
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.
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
"The Gentleman Pirate", also by Internet Historian, on his second channel Incognito Mode.
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 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
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'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.
“I was a hermit. I did not leave”
She just like me FR FR.
Rule for pranks. Confuse, don't abuse.
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
10:30 No. Australia has an entirely different culture to America. Gun restrictions don't work here because we have a Second Amendment right and building and smuggling guns is way too easy.
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?
"What's the difference between a vitamin and a hormone? You can't make a vitamin." -Benny Hill
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
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"
Today I learned Orange Juice can cure cancer. I'm going to file that for later just in case.
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?
"You can't shoot upwards, don't you know how guns work?"
Bruh moment.
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
OMG I WAS WAITING FOR THAT .. I WAS LITERALLY LIKE *GAAAAAASP* WHEN I SAW THIS IN MY FEED RN
“Grand Wizard VPN 🎉!!”
Auto mod: 😂🔫😡 “wanna rethink that?”
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.
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
29:53
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD I CACKLED SEEING THE DAMN RAIDEN FIGURE
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
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.
Yay more IH! Do his "he will not divide us" series. Or his "serious buisness" vid!
I do believe the term is: “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” I may be British but DAMMIT I NEED MY 2A!
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.
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.
Live in america been using bucket method my whole life toilet paper tears me up im to sensitive back their
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.
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
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
"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.
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.
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. -_-
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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'm rewatching all these reactions to help Alica out. Plus I can't get enough of internet historian vids. So its a win win. 🤗💖🥰
for some reason Staples always had toilet paper during thevarus. it was my little secret
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.
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.
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 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
Its even funnier hearing she didint even know about that 5G crap
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.
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.
I was a whatever employee (the ones who had permissions to go into work still and were supposed to barring sickness) and I remember how glorious driving was then, and seeing animals come along and chill next to me just full on woodland deer and shit. Was great.
The Aussie government got downright tyrannical during the lockdown
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.
Gonna tell my kids I survived an apocalypse
My favorite was the Belarusian PM deadass telling his nation "Bruh, just drink vodka, forehead. Vodka kills the germs, no?"
When the bidet breaks i also use the bucket
I personally can’t wait for you to start reacting to TheRussianBadger(a bonus fact is that his friend Heavenly is also a VTuber like you) but for the sake of your health I must warn you, his videos are I would describe as *painfully funny.*
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
Joke: Since you lived like a hermit then maybe you should get a crab costume and spend Halloween inside as a hermit crab.
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~
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
Another great vid Alicia. I would highly recommend The Gentleman Pirate by Internet Historian. It’s a great story!
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.
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
I worked at walmart during this time, just days and weeks of dealing with panicked customers, empty shelves, etc. Fun times.
Yeah the restrictions work, that’s why during Covid they were put in camps.
American. Every time something crazy happened during 2020, my brother and I would sing "The Plagues" from Prince of Eygpt.
The 5g hysteria made me real sad at how stupid we’ve become as a species.
Is it kind of amazing how quickly nature reasserts itself when nobody is around to prevent it.
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.
Yesss, yess. One day we shall cover brads wife and serous bissuness
Here in the Philippines, I'm not sure if the toiler paper craze hit. Maybe in areas where the water pressure tends to fluctuate, but by and large we use buckets and scoopers to wash ourselves. My family specifically didn't join the stupidity, and I'm not sure if we ever fell for price gouging of important stuff like face masks.
"Australia got it right with their gun restrictions"
Me full blooded American "Sounds like tyranny to me"
Edit: Not glorifying killers I can agree with.
the MSM in the US salivate over the next mass shooting they can report on
As a retail worker at the time. It was very quiet because I worked Produce lmao
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.
