How come humanity is still so fucking stupid?

mob mentality is good because it makes retards follow and imitate their leaders

there was a pioneer who decided to buy lots of toilet paper for whatever reason and he might be right for all we know, he could be patient zero

There was also a run on the potato/onion section

And salads for some fucking reason. I went in to get ginger beer, and it was a zoo.

You are forced to participate, because who knows when it will be back in stock. Any reasonable person will grab a few months worth. It is self perpetuating.

this isn't mob mentality
This is literally a zero sum game
The risks and rewards of this game are asymmetric
The risk of being first to the resource and being wrong are low, the risk of being last to the resource and being wrong are high
It's to every player's advantage to participate early even if doing so might be considered irrational, if only because the risks and opportunity costs of playing early for no reason, are much lower than the risks of getting to the game late
This is the underlying psychosis of the "prepper", having a years supply of water is probably not necessary, but you'll use it...eventually so it's not really a grave misallocation of resources, not having it when it's too late well, the results are relatively obvious

and how do you plan to wipe your ass when you've run out during the quarantines when everything is out of stock?

Don't tell me you are going to use your hands, Corona virus spreads through feces too.

>Buying fresh veggies
>Can't even freeze them because they're leafy greens

Sad

When toilet paper becomes a form of currency it won't seem so retarded.

Soap and water.

Are we sure it’s actually individuals buying that much toilet paper and not just the fact it takes up so much space? If everybody takes a pack now whenever it’s available it’s a completely rationale decision for the individual since they expect shopping for it to become riskier or not available in the future.
They only issue is the sudden surge which could have been prevented by simply telling the public to stock up for the eventuality of a quarantine a month ago.

It's fundamentally a rational behavior.

There is a proven shortage is there not?
Stocking up on a year supply of a good that doesn't expire is rational behavior.

What's the downside?
Fucking nothing, I'm going to use it all eventually.

Except that there is no TP in any store around me, but I can still poop comfortably. Maybe it was unnecessary to stock up, but it definitely wasn't stupid.

This excerpt is from the satirical movie "This is Spinal Tap," about an aging British Rock band trying to make a comeback made in 1982.
The band is talking to some annoying New York Jewish women at a party. The script from the movie is as follows...

Bobbi Flekman: You put a greased naked woman on all fours with a dog collar around her neck, and a leash, and a man's arm extended out up to here, holding onto the leash, and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don't find that offensive? You don't find that sexist?

Ian Faith: This is 1982, Bobbi, c'mon!

Bobbi Flekman: That's right, it's 1982! Get out of the '60s. We don't have this mentality anymore.

Ian Faith : Well, you should have seen the cover they wanted to do! It wasn't a glove, believe me.

People have been saying, "its the current year," for a long time. That phrase is the most meaningless attempt to guilt trip someone into conforming to their ideology. Anything a person says afterwards can basically be disregarded as bullshit.

>Hurr its so dumb to stock on toilet
>OH NO THERE IS NO MORE TOILET PAPER SOMEONE HELP

Italy still has grocery stores open but lots of police check points and you must have some kind of paperwork on you, declaring where you are coming from where you are headed and why

ideally when that finally happens in the US the grocery stores will be back to normal, no need to rub shoulders with the niggers/npc's of society as they panic, in fact its advised against by the government, every health organization and just common sense

You'll things are getting real when people start posting on twitter/instagram about TP going missing from their office buildings

It's alright to have toilet paper, but I feel there's more important things to get.

>I feel
Go talk about how you feel with your Jewish psychiatrist you fucking fag

Because, dipshit, it's not going to run out. Toilet paper is going to just keep showing up. There is no shortage.

Enjoy having no toiler paper you dumb retard

When the crowd runs in panic, you run or get stomped.

SHUT THE FUCK UP
MALDRAW

Grocery stores won't shut down unless there is total government collapse, thanks for contributing to clown world though

You went out and brought toilet paper didn't you

I have 6 months supply of everything.
Food, toilet paper and a 5,000L rain water tank which I didn't specifically buy for this but it will come in handy.
No guns though because Australia and take about a year to apply for a license and permit to acquire one.
Ihre papiere bitte!
Them Nazi checkpoints just like muh Holocaust movies.

>What's the downside?
You're wasting lots of room on what amounts to a fire hazard, which could have been better used on more supplies. Also wtf just wash your ass after a shit. Do most people do big squishy turds or something?
>t. rabbit pellet shitter

Do there exist people who buy toilet paper only when they run out? Are those who are ass mad?

>feb
>know boomers are going to stock up on tp
>buy tp even if it is a zero sandwhich so I will have toilet paper normally when people buy all the milk and toilet paper

A single bag of tp easily lasts me over a month. How much are you using?

And commiefags want these people running a state, fuck the masses and more importantly fuck the working class.

See thread where everyone agrees with OP, agree with OP also since everyone else is.

Now apply that to stocks.

What If I just happen to need toilet paper tho

Honestly you people laugh at toilet paper hoarders, but you really dont have enough toilet paper yourselves. The average person uses 1 roll per day. If you have a family of 4, that's 28 rolls a week. Over 100 a month. TP rolls will be worth their weight in gold in a few months, because everyone needs it.

I'm going to use my hand then I'll wipe my hand on your door knob

>are you telling me I can wash my ass using water? no way, you must be a fed or something

What baffles me is the people panic buying perishable food.

>Don't tell me you are going to use your hands, Corona virus spreads through feces too.
So they'll get the virus from their feces that already has the virus in it?

Italians are rational. The US population? Sheeee-it...

>The average person uses 1 roll per day
You need a new diet and a doctors visit bud. 1 roll lasts me like a week and a half

>1 roll a day

This is an evolutionary trait that has benefited humanity for tens of thousands of years. If you see people running away from something, you too should probably run. It's this hardwired response that kept our ancestors from getting eaten by cave bears and saber tooth cats, and thus it's a hard habit to break since it's so disproportionately been to our advantage.

They've gotten stupider because of social media. If social said "people are stocking up on glitter glue for the coronavirus!" all the glitter glue in every state would be sold out.
Get off social media.

Humans have never been and will never be smart.

Because it implies that you are dumb enough to think that buying a year's worth of toilet paper is going to somehow save you from a flu (symptoms of which last about 2 weeks max.)

The FUCK? I usually take about 3 big shits a day, and I never use nearly a whole roll a day.
