You'll notice that children's crayons are all sold out, too.
That's because twitter might go down, and the most appropriate replacement for it is crayon on toilet paper.

I don't think twitter actually uses brown crayons ...

In Germany at least where I live in a medium to large city, toilet paper is not available or I am very late. I tend to shop 20 mins before the closing time.
Other stocks not available or running low are
1. Sugar
2. Flour
3. Pasta/Noodles
4. Hand sanitizers
cheers,
Super

Went to a supermarket at lunchtime.
Absolutely no toilet paper, no dried pasta, very few tins of baked beans, almost no eggs for some reason.
Cheap antibacterial liquid soap all sold out, but plenty of the more expensive ones (yeah, it is that sort of area).
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Hand sanitizers are totally unobtainable where we are in central Florida. I have a bread machine and sufficient flour to bake about 5 loaves (provided we don't run out of electricity! ) Sugar and pasta is still freely available.

A I may or may not have mentioned, I determined this to be an ideal time to restock my (finally) depleted stock of dried beans. Yes - I did mention in some earlier post.
A total of about eight pounds (7.5 kiosk, roughly), jasmine rice and a well-stocked spice shelf means I can weather a pretty decent storm. Not thrilled by it, mind you, but not short of nutrition for probably a couple of weeks. Along with other stuff that's normally stocked when on sale. A danger would be in a situation where boiling water could not be made. Due to the prolonged boiling for both beans and rice, bacteria in water isn't an obstacle for their cooking.
As I also may have mentioned - if the weather warms up and there are no ass-wipes left then one simple goes outdoors and drags their hind-quarter diligently on some grassy area.

I have wondered that for most of my life. Usually related to storms (hurricanes/blizzards/etc.).
1. They stock up on ice encase the power goes out.
2. They stock up on perishables like milk (see 1 above) and bread.
3. They stock up on non-perishables - whether they need to or not.
Those of us who know that bottled water, paper towels and, yes, even toilet paper are luxury items, tend to have a more practical mind.
Keeping a well stocked pantry makes sense, creating one at the last minute just inconvenience everyone else.

The TP issue is obvious. Every time someone sneezes a hundred people sh*t themselves!

Say, haven't you guys got anything stocked?
When I take my car out (that doesn't happen too often), it is to bring to the house another 72 cans of champignon, 24 rolls of paper towels, 48 cans of crushed tomato. I buy six tubes of toothpaste at a time, ten packs of eight rolls of toilet paper. Four or six boxes of laundry detergent.
When I open the second-to-last 8-pack of toilet paper (so there are still 15 rolls to go), I put it on my shopping list. Similar with beans, corn, flour, sugar, ... In a long-lasting crisis, maybe the red beans will run out and we'll have to make due with lentils and carrots. Maybe the bread will be pure wheat with no rye in it. So what?
If you keep a fair stock of consumables, you obviously loose the interest that you could collect by keeping the money in your bank account. But is that why you don't? Most likely you do not keep the money in the bank, but spend them! If you manage to gradually build up a stock, you really have the same amount for spending (once the stock is established), but in addition, you have that buffer that can serve you in a period of crisis.
It is not necessarily a supply crisis. As you build up your stock, it may also be a buffer against a temporary crisis in your private econonomy. Or if twenty relatives come rushing in your door, you've got something to feed them. Or ...
Keeping a stock is always a good idea.

Knowing the number of letters would have helped, but once I'd got MAG and I together, the rest was pretty clear.
Charlie Dickens was also a keen amateur magician, BTW.

Probably - I have no ideas on the "real" one, but I set the last solved on Tuesday, so I'm up Monday if nobody else is feeling any cleverer than I am ...
