Q: What does this picture and pattern mean?

miaoI am trying to find out what this picture means and where to find it (I could not locate the source). It's really important for me. Thanks everyone for helping.

Grocery store had no toilet paper at all. Wild.
6 years ago, when I moved here, I made one bulk TP purchase, less than some pictures I've seen of what people are buying now, and I still have a lot of it
People are buying toilet paper like this is the actual apocalypse and all of the toilet paper factories are going to shut down forever
I still don't understand why of all things, toilet paper
Instead of, say, cans so they can cook at home for two weeks
00:55
The panic purchases that really get me are frozen food.
They keep well, no? And of course we're assuming the power won't go out
If you really think food is going to be in a shortage situation I don't think frozen turkeys are the safest bet.
I think it's more about buying as much as possible so you won't have to go out for as long as possible
Like if you're going to be a prepper at least go about it sensibly.
Although a frozen turkey is a bit of an odd choice
00:58
Another one is bottled water
@murgatroid99 It's made me realize that Fallout should've used toiler paper, instead of bottle caps.
Only makes sense if you're going full prepper mode
Yeah, water makes less sense for the current situation. Keeping a stock of it is a good idea, though you probably want to just buy jerry cans and tablets and fill them up yourself
It's an anecdote but you can see tons of people buying it here:
@PrivatePansy Ah yes tablets are way better for space efficiency.
Hmmm, I need some fruits that can keep well. I guess I'll get the pound bag of citrus and apples
01:01
Or like dried fruit
Apricots and such
Not a huge fan of those, but they do keep well
I hate the fact that the nearest grocery store is a Whole Foods
I think I'll be bankrupt before I starve
fwiw, here's the official Ready.gov advice: ready.gov/pandemic
Oh wow they say to keep a two week supply of water
I believe ready.gov is FEMA
(which yes is technically DHS for some reason?)
@RedRiderX It's pretty general advice. Of all the things necessary for life water is the easiest to run out of
01:05
It does make sense as generally prepper advice.
(break FEMA and USCG out of DHS thanks)
But I don't expect a pandemic specifically to cut your water supply for two weeks.
Although I'd imagine a pandemic would have to get really bad before tap water stops
Though I guess I'm assuming how it would be transmitted.
Like, people dying in the streets bad
01:06
Yeah I guess it depends
In the particular case I assume tap water will remain fine
But yeah water does seem like generic ready.gov/plan advice
Yup. I'm mostly concerned about fresh food. The stuff I have that keeps well are not nutritionally balanced. Okay, they're mostly sugar. I like snacks, okay?
You can buy lots of frozen vegetables for cheap
@Unionhawk Yeah, I'm surprised how many people are buying bottled water. Some folks don't have reliable access to fresh water, but most in the first world near cities do.
The Kroger Brand stuff is fine
My parents are on a well, so they've probably bought some bottled water. But last I checked, their water is drinkable anywyas.
01:15
@RedRiderX Actually, I'll ask about this on my call on Monday, we have a call with a Vanderbilt medical professor specializing in infectious diseases
About autonomous community defense against the thing
@Unionhawk You'd have to hope that in most American cities there's enough work done to prevent that kind of contamination though right?
But at the same time Flint is still a thing
So maybe not as safe an assumption
That is true, I'm pretty sure city of Hamilton for example bleaches their water
Yeah it's not like we have huge breakouts of Cholera anymore.
Honestly micropur tabs might be the better emergency prep kit item than bottled water, at least in this context
Yeah it depends how committed you are to the prep.
01:21
(bottled is good for other contexts like idk earthquake takes out your water main)
(hurricane severs the Florida aquaduct)
Fun fact! Do you know what the difference between an island and a key is? An island has its own water source. The Florida Keys get their water from a big pipe that runs all the way down from Miami
Oh boy that sounds like a big single point of failure.
Is desalination technology effective yet?
Like at a city scale?
01:45
Also, Haliax Transit released a notice saying they'll be taking the precaution of "wiping the buses down every 24 hours", and all I can think of is "Why the fuck weren't doing that already?"
Seems like I should just never take public transport. That's gross.
02:00
Yeah NYC subway is spotless right now
Like
Maybe it should be spotless all the time instead of spending money badgering people for $2.50
I bet if they cleaned public transit more often, people would be more willing to use it,since there wouldn't be such a huge stigma against it.
Like when I think subway I just imagine the gross ass train from Batman Begins
02:14
Sigh, I went out for groceries and basically confirmed that all cured meats, frozen vegetable and fruits, most fresh fruits are just gone
Basically everything I need
Also forgot to get coffee :(
My main hope is the Business Continuity department at the office buys my dev team powerful laptops
Business Continuity sounds like your company is planning to survive the zombie apocalypse
Is there a chain of succession down from the CEO to the chief janitor?
I love when I remember this exists
It's just perfect
@PrivatePansy I mean yeah, it covers both traditional disaster recovery scenarios like "building hit by tornado" and this one lol
@Wipqozn can you imagine how the internet would be if this happened in say the MCU
02:18
We actually had a live DR scenario a few years ago with successful recovery
So Chantal and I are going to try things again
@Wipqozn why doesn't he just kill them
@GnomeSlice I like some of the theorizing in the comment section about how Magneto crumbled mentally but really it's just because 70s and 80s cartoons were dumb af
A metal gun can kill a man but only a wooden gun can kill a man's will to live
02:34
@PrivatePansy yes, because he's then told he never lost his powers and proceeded to be put into a metal transport
because if Magneto dumb for not using his powers after that, then Reeds and the police are even more stupid in having planned to put him in a police car made of metal
02:49
@Yuuki hue
user15026
03:23
@GnomeSlice bI hope things work out for you two in a way that makes you both happy.
03:39
@PrivatePansy Because people have may or may not have hurricane prepping plans but they definitely don't have viral outbreak plans.
@PrivatePansy I'm kinda tempted to use Amazon Fresh for the first time.

@Ash thank you. Me too

I'm so glad I work at a plant that makes toilet paper. Every year, the employees get a year's supply for free. It's saved me money and made the current shopping situation way less stressful.

Q: Prioritising our bugs and requests for CM review

Long story short, if something requires review by a CM,...

Whoa
The profile page is different
13:00
@Wipqozn I don't totally get it either, but I think the idea behind it is that if there IS some sort of problem with the water supply, it could take longer than normal to get resolved. It's more general disaster preparedness rather than virus-specific "WE NEED WATER"
Someone on reddit asked why people are panic-buying toilet paper. I responded that I wasn't sure if it counted as panic-buying, but I bought 3 packs instead of the usual 1 on my last grocery trip a couple weeks ago. The idea was I use about 1 a month, and I wasn't entirely sure how easy it would be to go shopping in coming days, so having an extra month or two on hand seemed like a fine idea, especially since toilet paper doesn't really "spoil". I did that for a lot of non-perishable items
Got a private message in response that was basically a death threat
What a time to be alive
@Sterno Humanity was a mistake
Okay, maybe not a death threat. It was more along the lines of "If your family uses a whole pack of toilet paper in a month, you aren't sustainable on this planet and shouldn't be here"
Uh, that doesn't even seem like a lot.
I just need to tell my kids they only get one square per dump
The worst part about the internet is it allows the terrible to thrive

I have to get groceries this weekend, I am absolutely damn dreading it
15:48
So my ex wanted to try things again but also told me she's been hooking up with my best friend while we were apart and now he's not talking to me and she's backing off again too so I've lost em both
And I already cancelled some plans with somebody I was seeing casually and they've blocked me now so that's gone too
Stop life I want to get off
I'm not a drama queen but what the fuck is happening
I have to work at a grocery store too there were people fucking lined up outside when we opened
@Ash I just ran out to get some and the shelves were getting pretty barren. The line (and they actually had lots of lanes open for once!) took 45 min
If you can do it today rather than tomorrow, I recommend sooner
@GnomeSlice Not what you want to hear but you might be better off from the sound of it
user15026
@Sterno I can't, I'm at work.
Man, game devs are really wanting people to stay home
Halo CE released on PC, new PoE League, and Borderlands 3 on PC, all within a few days
To be fair, game devs have always wanted people to stay home
That is true
16:11
Disney+ is releasing Frozen 2 early (tomorrow). That's nice of them
On the other hand, now I have to listen to Into the Unknown every day for the next month
@SaintWacko I've gotten no uniques from Delirium so far. I demand equal loot
@Sterno good, now how about actually releasing Disney+ early in Belgium?

Can't you just get digital?
user15026
I think he means the actual special edition console
17:28
Yeah.
I have a first-gen Switch so I've been kinda looking to upgrade to the new chipset with improved battery life.
Might as well get a fancy Animal Crossing one while I'm at it.
