Show me the Emperor and I'll sign up as a Thunder Warrior. Sad reality is that we're not even in the Age of Strife. First, AI has to go rampant and get outlawed.

This is some BULLSHIT.

You want to know why so many people think a pandemic is inevitable even though the WHO hasn't said so yet? Because they know all it takes is one dickhead to cause an outbreak in a country.

In Australia a man in Tasmania broke quarantine to go to a supermarket at 10pm. The next day his test confirmed he had the virus. Worldwide there is at least one idiot in every town who will do something dumb like this, THAT is why no matter how totalitarian you go you can't stop the outbreak.

With the guys here they didn't give them any choice. They got locked up.

Coronavirus panic: Why are people stockpiling toilet paper?

Perhaps the worst doomsday scenario is this: being stuck on the toilet and finding you're down to the last square.

At least that appears to be the nightmare prospect scaring many Australians right now, who have become the latest group to respond to coronavirus fears by buying toilet paper en masse.

This is despite authorities stressing there is no shortage - given most of the nation's rolls are made locally.

However in Sydney, the nation's largest city, supermarket shelves have been cleared in minutes, forcing one chain to enforce a four-pack buying limit.

Police were even called to a dispute on Wednesday, with reports saying a knife was pulled out in an argument over toilet roll between panic buying shoppers.

On social media, #toiletpapergate and #toiletpapercrisis were top trending on Wednesday. Rolls were being flogged for hundreds of dollars online, while listeners were calling into radio stations to win packs of 3-ply loo roll.

The situation in the past 48 hours has unravelled so much there are also reports of people stealing from public loos.

Just what is going on, and why are people acting this way?

Stop panic buying toilet paper already, Poonoo.

In toilet paper we trust.

Bonus points that you couldn't smell the death and rot and shit around you, because the beak of the mask was filled with purifying and aromatic herbs and salts.

And with advances in SCIENCE!, I am sure you could also put in a little bong for some extra fun.

Ironically they left the death doctor's ankles almost completely uncovered so the fleas infected with bubonic gave them the plague.

These people could in theory just buy a rag on a stick and just clean themselves off in the shower if they were absolutely desperate, and instead of actually buying more important things like food they buy into some dumb media panic.

They actually sell Jim Bakker's shit in Walmart.

I've been stocking up on dry and canned good just incase Toronto gets proverbially shut down and shipments stop coming north for a little while. I'm buying the food on special and I'm going to eat it, anyway. No downside to hoarding a little in times of uncertainly.
