What could possibily be the driving force behind such actions

memes, humans are retarded, see other humans doing stuff and copy them like monkeys

I blame the media.
I've mentioned to my German coworker that literally 9/10 results when you enter the news.google.com website are about the virus and he says it's the same shit in germany.

Owners of media companies should be fucking trialed for this.

>don't eat for 5 days
>I'm fine bro

>don't wipe your ass for 1 day
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH HOW DO I PUT MY PANTS ON?! I DONT WANT TO HAVE SHIT IN MY SHOWER!

>I mean are these people going to eat the paper?
I've read some journals from people who went through the hell of the dissolution of Yugoslavia and consecutive conflicts. The two facts that I remembered the most were
>you could buy a woman for a can of canned pork
>you could buy a lot of stuff for toilet paper, it was so valuable that people who had some actually didn't use it as intended or used it sparsely because you could sell it for other more useful shit

Mass defecation

Companies want to sell their products of course

Toilet paper is all you need, don't buy canned food or other foods that lasts long. It will just expire, toilet paper will never expire so buy it in bulk before it's out of stock. I already have a 10 year stock of toilet paper in my bunker myself. I'm looking to buy up my neighbour property to be able to store more toilet paper but so far he's been hesitant to sell his space. Either way don't buy any toilet paper because I want to add it to my collection!

>>you could buy a woman for a can of canned pork
Kek and they say crisis are bad

>I already have a 10 year stock of toilet paper in my bunker myself.
Same here, but not for meme reason.
I've been stocking all kind of utilities for a long time. I can easily survive 40 years without external help.
I don't stock only paper though

i don't get it either, just like in communist countries toilet paper is always scarce

there must be some kind of magic with this very product

Apparently wiping their ass with paper is more important than eating or drinking

People stock on tp like all the factories will be nuked this week, but it'll be back in stock soon enough. It's ridiculous.

unironically memes

I'm embarrassed by my countrymen... That's not NEARLY enough toilet paper. I'd use that whole basket in a day or two.

>I don't stock only paper though
You're a fool, It's all about the toilet paper. That stuff never expires. Enjoy your tomato soup while I'll be enjoying my toilet paper. The future of international trade will be in toilet paper and not in baked beans. I'll be a billionaire in a few years, all thanks to the corona-virus and my gigantic stock of toilet paper. Jeff Bezos will shit his pants, not only because of fear of my enormous might but also because he has no toilet paper left.

why they dont buy food?

boomers are retarded. bidets exist.

Food expires, toilet paper doesn't. It's simple logic really. All I can do is advise you to buy as much toilet paper as possible before it's too late.

They complained about communism yet here we are, empty store shelves and people waiting in lines for toilet paper.

why are you anglo cunts hoarding toilet paper while in reality instant foods, hand sanitizer, soaps, and face mask, and alcohol are more needed in this corona panic situation?

what is the logic of this situation?

>empty store shelves and people waiting in lines for toilet paper.
so communism

If you're not stocking up on toilet paper you're honestly a gigantic idiot. It's like these people don't even realize toilet paper is the preferred currency of the future. Yes I will gladly buy as much toilet paper as I can now to trade with later than buy perishable food that won't last me this decade.

Sounds nice. Maybe I should buy some more.

Ok, doomer

Or use a rag?

if they have to quarantine they can't shart in mart and have to shart at home

Fucking bidetlets

so what they need is more floor tiles, not toilet paper then

This is exactly why it is so ridiculous.

No, that won't do. People want to use toilet paper and I will invest all my money into toilet paper to get a large return later. I will personally use or rag or something similar but people will always want toilet paper to wipe their ass with.

isn't a lot of it to do with the fact that TP takes up a lot of shelf space and stores generally don't put out as much TP as they do other essential goods?

BRAaaap

Who cares

The act of accruing of goods, especially in situations such as these, is caused by the desire for self-preservation and material security.

because it's a feedback loop

>retards stock up on toilet paper
>people hear retards are stocking up on toilet paper
>those people stock up on toilet paper because they don't want to run out since everyone else is buying all the tp
>now everybody is panic buying toilet paper

Big think right here. I just ordered some fancy glazed replacement tiles from Mexico.

So this is a toilet paper bubble

people are fucking retarded

>>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH HOW DO I PUT MY PANTS ON?! I DONT WANT TO HAVE SHIT IN MY SHOWER!
Joke's on them. I already shit in my shower.

collective action problem
plus little variation in what is thought of as a necessary resource. Everyone buys basically the same toilet paper, but if you're buying food there's many types you can stock up on.

You're a dumbass. I produce my own artisanal toilet paper decorated with Rare Pepes.
Enjoy your worthless "stock" when I crash the market and become richest man on Earth.

They need lots of tp for their liquid sharts.

All the canned food was fully stocked
Obviously none of the vegetables got touched
Most of the food in general was untouched.
All the fucking toilet paper, hand soap and hand sanitzar was gone.
Guess what else was gone, the Coca Colas were ALL sold out. Even the nasty non-caffeine was gone but that's not the worst part. PEPSI WAS FULLY STOCKED, not a single one was touched.

Apparently in a viral apocalypse, people rather get cancer from artificial sweeteners in a diet coke than even touch a regular Pepsi.

Americans

Pepsi>Coke anyways
You are basically a retard if you think otherwise.

Didn't people use newspapers?

Herd mentality. You underestimate how stupid people are.

KEK

I agree

very based opinion

Are americans even human at this point

Yeah they did.
Protip was to crumble the newspaper and straighten it up before use to "fluff the fibers up" so it absorbed more shit instead of smearing it all over your ass

They are filled with mcdonalds and sharts. I don't know why they evolved like this.
