The only recent improvement of LI is the increasing number of parody accounts, calling these idiots outs:

Pandemic or not, there's no excuse for 1-ply. Nicole Black's laptop keyboard is infected with poofinger.

Wash your hands, dude!

Fold it over multiple times

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago (2 children)

So turn it into 2 or more ply to be usable? Why even have 1 ply if you use three times as much

[–] Frozengyro 16 points 4 months ago

Cause that was the only option at the time, and since you have it, why waste it.

Were you around in March of 2020?

That whole post was just a whole lot of text for no point being made

Lawyer/Legaltech Journalist

Yep, sounds about right. The only thing that would check out more would be if she wrote corporate seminar speeches.

[–] stoly 2 points 4 months ago

Yo she's so smart dontcha know?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (3 children)

So my ex actually was a really organized person.

She identified the space we store toilet paper could hold 4x as much.

She saw a sale, bought like 6 packs of the big rolls at BJs.

2 months later they start talking about some virus.

Anyways. I still have some of this toilet paper. I sent her a roll for Christmas last year as a joke.

Wondering why y'all did not want to store anything else in that space

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Unique space tbh. She was tossing the big pack on top of a y pipe in the laundry room. They stacked so perfectly and it wasn’t an actual storage space. Just a convenient high up place.

Paper towel packages didn’t quite fit as well but they work there too.

The single sentence

Writing style

Is getting insane

I am dyslexic and it’s easier for me to type and proofread, especially when grouped by logical thoughts.

long hair don’t care.

I had bought a backup pack of tp like three years before because I used to have the start of prepper brain. My spouse complained every time we moved we brought it along and I insisted it could come in handy one day. Guess who got the last laugh when everywhere ran out and we had an emergency supply that lasted just long enough for a bidet to show up

This is why I cannot physically stay on LinkedIn for more than 5 minutes a time

[–] stoly 2 points 4 months ago

I'm fine with LI but ignore the posts. They are usually garbage.

[–] fluxion 21 points 4 months ago

Fortunately my acknowledgement that the world has changed since COVID was not tied to this woman's toilet paper stockpile situation, but I appreciate the heads up.

[–] dogsnest 20 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

She omitted the part about how the anti-vax dummy movement has led to vanquished diseases like measles, whooping cough, diphtheria, and polio making comebacks!

Conspiracy, ignorance, and illiteracy are all major flexes!

[–] fluxion 17 points 4 months ago

And commercial real estate investors pulling every string possible to force workers back into the office just enough that everyone still needs to waste similar amounts of money on office space

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

Someone should let the CDC know the pandemic is officially over now that some LinkedIn rando used up the last of her failed attempt to scalp shitpaper.

[–] ZagamTheVile 13 points 4 months ago

I bet she wrote really shitty poetry in middle school about the darkness under the bed being defeted by the light from under her door and being really adamant that everyone would love it if they'd just read it.

[–] LesserAbe 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I misread the title as "bury" toilet paper, and was excited to hear a new twist on COVID preppers

[–] BeMoreCareful 4 points 4 months ago

After the bombs drop I'll make a mint off of TP detectors

[–] son_named_bort 10 points 4 months ago

I used the extra toilet paper I bought during the pandemic to TP her house.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Someone out there had written a post about how they wiped their ass with their bare hands becauze toilet paper was sold out and how it improved their look on business.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

The "good" TP (Charmin ultra strong) is now 90 cents per roll, at bulk warehouse club prices. So that stuff is still pretty expensive and I don't think it ever went down after the crisis.
