I went to the shops yesterday and was delighted to see that toilet paper is back!
My joy waned quickly as I was faced with a dilemma:
Shop staff set the few remaining tissues next to large containers of cat litter.
That got me thinking: wouldn't it be more sustainable to start shitting in a box for the near future?
Who knows when TP will be available again - or ever.
I did the only reasonable thing: use date to make an informed decision:
Data is normalized (maximum = 100, minimum = 0) over a period starting 01.01.2020 up until 04.04.2020. Data shows a median of 2, a mean of 12,8 and a standard deviation 20,5.
Data Source: Google Trends, Git: Pseudo API for Google Trends
Toilet paper hoarding seems to be over and choosing tissues over cat litter was the reasonable thing to do.
Here is Kyle Hill putting TP hoarding into perspective:
Stay save. And, ummm, stay away, I guess? ¯___(ツ)____/¯
