@cwebber on the topic of toilet paper, I hate to be the stereotypical bidet guy that pops up every time something vaguely related is mentioned, but: I had some incredibly lucky timing and bought a bidet attachment in February 2020, and if I hadn't heard about it via memes I never would have known about the early COVID TP shortages. They cut down on TP use so much that I'd low-key consider them a good disaster-preparedness investment
