My Last Roll...a thread about survival...

Post by Stix » 13 Mar 2020, 9:49 pm

So...

Went into Aldi this afternoon/evening...

I need some of that soft paper...i dont care for the purfumed pretty scented overly soft stuff that is impregnated with aloe & cleverly embossed for a frictionless glide with maximum stock removal...

Nope...

I just want a pack of fuking toilet paper...

Ok...so im not getting one here...sigh..., i said to myself while staring dumbfounded at the steel shelving with a blank look on my face, wondering what the fuk is wrong with people...

Breathe...

Ok...ill go & grab a can of baked beans &/or spaghetti incase i get away on Sat night for a quick weekend warrior paddock dissecting eye-shine covert operation...
You know...quick snack...easy ramming flavour-filled tummy filler i can just find time for when im not stuck in the burbs & there are guns to shoot...

Well...its been made very apparent to me, that i cant have, nope, not even one can of baked bloody beans...!!!!! :unknown: :twisted:

You see, i went to 2 supermarkets & 2 Aldi stores, & those sections of shelves are empty...
They've been emptied by...well, i dont mean to stereotype here...but emptied by the likes of all the fat bastards i saw walking around in pairs, or threesome's, with at least one trolley each---yes---i said ATLEAST...!!!...filling those said trolley's with instant noodles, long life milk, all my bloody baked beans, and the weeks run from the toilet paper factory...!!!

What the fuk is wrong with you lot...???

No, i dont mean you, who've grabbed a couple extra cans of baked beans...i mean YOU---!!!---who have, as ive said above, loaded up with every fuking carton you can fit in your bloody boot...!!!

You're a buch of idiots...!!!...
If you think thats going to save you in the event of a highly infectious major pandemic while you're couped up in the burbs complaining about what the Govt ISNT doing about your poor health due to your diet, then think again...!!

And i hope when you cant get any protein because you've forced the supermarkets into ration allocations, you smell my roasting goat leg & southern fried rabbit, & stamp your feet in denial while convincing yourself you find some form of solace when 60 minutes & the Project tell you you're being hard done by ...!!!
Idiots...!!... :lol:

And you know what---i hope this is left up for all to read...i dont care if someone is offended at the "social inequity" i seem to be ranting about...
People should take a look at themselves & ask, 'what will happen if this is real...?'...

I am just flabbergasted at the utter greed & incredibly abhorrent attitudes a good number of us seem to have against one another...
We seemingly "band together" when the drama filled media storm is promoting that some experience hardship in the aftermath of the devastating bush fires, but look what happens when they promote even a hint of a spreading infection...and what does this behavior tell us... :unknown:

So...now thats off my chest...can anyone spare a roll or two...seriously...im down to 2-n-a-half rolls & thats including my shooting stash.. :|
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...

Fuk you must be a good typist. If you anly wore a skirt..... :D

BS aside. Wife found same thing late today. Aldi shelves close to empty. People watch way too much yank D grade doomsday tv. Yes, the virus is a concern but panic buying only makes the situation worse.

My mind boggles that people think that the only way to achieve the modern state of cleanliness is with shop bought toilet paper.
How was it achieved in the past before toilet paper became ubiquitous?
Before one can bestow the status of 'survivor' on oneself, the a concise understanding of how to maintain inputs and how to dispose of outputs will be a prerequisite.

I always keep 50 rolls in stock and added a little more here and there over the past month. It's all gone out of the local stores now.

I grew up with hurricanes, snow storms, floods and tornadoes so I experienced various short disruptions in supplies when young. Since then I've always believed in having a little bit of everything on hand. Right now I've got free flowing mountain spring water, 30000 rounds of ammo, six months or more of food, plenty of TP, medical supplies, fuel, etc. I could hole up here in the mountains for a while.

Humans are the only species that wipe their bums. For millions of years , there has probably been a million species of animals on our planet that have not wiped their bums ever. So we are doing it all wrong .... we don’t need toilet paper anymore Just go hardcore ...So I’m starting a new trend that’s about to take the world by storm

Not all Humans wipe their bums. When I was in PNG back in the 60,s the Buskanaka did not bother. Its all in the squat. They squat down low and it all happens relatively cleanly. We with out upstanding toilets deliver in a position that is not condusive to a clean delivery.
When using our Government supplied porcelain toilet with black plastic seat, it was common to see the dusty bare footprints on the plastic seat as they tried to balance and crap in the way they were used to. Sometimes it worked and sometimes not.

Ahh ok stix you find me a metal lathe and i will share with you with 50% of our family stash.. At eBay prices that's probably worth 10k conservatively.

Or as Russell Coight said find a few smooth rocks. If you are a politician a rose bush will do.

People are just morons, atleast the supermarkets have stopped refunding the bog roll crazies.

Local woolies has given up on putting bog roll and paper towel on the shelves, just leaving it palletized in the aisle. I'm sure the vultures are picking them clean at an alarming rate regardless.

One positive I did note was they had signs up limiting customers to one load of bog roll, one pack of paper towel and one box of tissues per customer/per transaction.

Quite hilarious watching the self-serve checkout staff have confrontations with shoppers wanting to buy bulk amounts of everything and the customers cracking tantrums.

It comes down to people being sheep. First they thought it was made in china(its not) and supply would run dry. Then people started to see the shelfs emptying so that created a blow back and other people started buying more and more. Then the media blew it up creating a bigger blow back so people think there is a toilet paper shortage even though there is not and everyone is trying to buy it.

Toilet paper is big and bulky and takes up a lot of space. Stores only have what they need for the day on hand so whilst it looks like the shelfs are bare there was only about 150 or so packets on the shelf to begin with. 150 packets of toilet paper takes up more space than the equivalent in canned goods so people see the big empty shelfs and wig out.

Everyone in the country is trying to buy toilet paper at the sametime. Imagine if everyone goes to the bank and try to withdraw their currency at the sametime as happend in Greece and India. The banks do not have nowhere near enough on hand to give to everybody.

Its not the disease that worries me its the satanic like behavour of the people. I have been preparing for this day to come for years and its only going to get worse. Anyone that does not have at least 6 months minimium of provisions in their home is a fool. The lockdowns are coming soon and so will the roaming street gangs.

The globalists are using this as a test case to take away peoples liberty. Now the governments are starting to control peoples freedom of movement and dictate when are where you can move about in society.

When this disease passes a new one will be relased in a few years time and they will strip away more rights in the name of “public saftey” and we will have lost the ability for all independent freedom of movement and association. People adapt to oppression overtime at low doses of oppression. This is all part of satans plan for world domination.

Bravo mate, people here may call you a crazy bustard but I agree with you and do likewise regarding preps.

Hmm interesting, but there is a defence, in India and Greece pepple actually had cash in the bank. In Australia "most people" have credit card debts, mortgages and other loans. So while they might be able to pull their $500 most would have a few magnitudes of that of loans to pay.
