no wonder there was a shortage of TP in 2020

Wait, wait. 2020 was the onset of Covid, and there was a monstrous toilet paper shortage.

Is this why?

Oyster shells are recyclable into WHAT, exactly? Do oysters go down to the local thrift store to pick out a nice new home?

I heard they make oyster crackers out of the shells.

Oysters sometimes contain pearls, but they are not easy to get. The reason for this is because oysters are shellfish..

Two out of three isn’t bad.

Interesting factoids today.

There actually was NO shortage at all. The “shortage” was caused by mass hysteria of people who claimed there was one, so therefore people hoarded the stuff. Production of TP never slowed at all. People just bought more in case there was a shortage. That is what mass hysteria does to people and in most cases this hysteria is caused by governments.

Ouch, a splinter in my cup.

There was less TP, because people thought there was less TP… ㋛

thought it was bollocks high

If it was Bullock Creek high school, why does the banner say Blitz Creek?

That oyster shell item needs explanation. It would be very rare for for a biological organism to produce something that isn’t either recyclable or food for something else.

In fact, if there were such an organism, that would be worthy of an R-BION.

Now I’m curious about how they put the t.p. at the top of the pyramid.

and conch and snail shells
