Thanks to all of you numbskulls who bought a million rolls of toilet paper in the last few weeks, some California towns are experiencing sewer problems because people are using disinfectant wipes, paper towels, and even shredded T-shirts and then flushing them.

“Five percent of the people think. Ten percent of the people think they think. The other eighty-five percent of the people would rather die than think.” - Thomas Edison
Seems like an awful lot of 85 percenters are causing plumbing problems.
You are wise to fake news. This smells of click bait.
When I run out of TP, it will be bath-tub with long hose shower head. I am not going to flush anything other than TP.
Don’t these idiots know what a trashcan is?
No problem more poo poo in the streets
“I call this fake news. Don’t tell me that people ran out of toilet paper in less then a week.”
They ran out because Chicken Little bought all the toilet paper two or three weeks ago and even brags about it. Chicken Little also bought all the lysol wipes and hand sanitizer to store in his pantry for five years, preventing everyone else from using it to slow the spread of the virus he’s so terrified of.
Newspapers are pretty good. Although I don’t know how well they dissolve I assume its much better than tshirts. The NYT works well enough although its a bit pricey.
At least half the country consists of absolute idiots.

Mexico yes but not on any fishing boat I eve worked on or heard about.
“I call this fake news. Don’t tell me that people ran out of toilet paper in less then a week.”
Long before this virus, I have had more than one person tell me, proudly, that he uses an entire roll when he goes. I didn’t ask for details. It was always a he.
Cheaper yet - use coffee can, place 1/4 full of gravel or small stones on inside bottom, fill 1/2 way with water, use left hand to clean and dip. Empty and repeat when water becomes foggy.
Benefit: you will not go into culture shock when you visit a muslim country

That sounds very scientific.
“...At least half the country consists of absolute idiots....”
Without a doubt...LOL
One can tell just by their low-IQ voting patterns.
“”For Petes sake people, whatever happened to a diaper pail?””
Same thing that happened to cloth diapers - GONE! I’m
probably the last mother to use cloth diapers in 1973....
What would ever give anyone the idea that even if they have run out of toilet paper, NOTHING else should be flushed regardless of what they used!
They could install either of these for the next time:

I decided I would never go the Asia after seeing these.
In Canada, we used leaves. The outhouse had a whole basket of them.
Your hand + water works in a pinch. (No pun intended)
I call this fake news. Don’t tell me that people ran out of toilet paper in less then a week.
Also, a lot of people don’t realize baby and toilet wipes don’t break down well in the sewer system.
how about all the morons who bought wipes and flush them down the toilets?
these are the same dumb asses who hoarded toilet paper and I’m sure some FReepers are among them.
I wasn’t planning on visiting a Muslim country.
