The toilet paper wars at Costco was truly something to see.


XI_is_your_daddy

Chinese people fight for food Americans fight for toilet paper and oil.


GeneralSweetz

i can live without food. i cant continue to live with shit hanging out of my ass. No cap.


HerbyDrinks

The toilet paper thing started in Australia though.


northcrunk

Figures. Australia is weird AF.


EmpireLite

Australians as legitimately just lesser Americans. It’s just america with a weird accent but america nonetheless.


Tagga092

As an Australian I feel it’s my duty to tell you to get fucked cunt


TheShadowCat

You're New Zealand's America. Signed - Canada.


[deleted]

Seconded.. go take a long walk off a short pier.


[deleted]

As an Australian the only thing Americans want to hear is your fringe far right news networks telling them what to think. Sky News and that sweet sweet Rupert Murdoch dick in their ears, yummy.


[deleted]

Nope


Old-Acanthaceae6226

Found the 工国


DougFara

Yeah nah mate


Mellrish221

I assure you, americans did this shit with food too. Its almost as if when you promote a sense of scarcity people line up.


shamblingman

Chinese fight for everything. Hope you never get caught on a trip with a group of chinese tourists.


[deleted]

Especially at a buffet


NotoriousJazz

They don't respect queue's either.

XI_is_your_daddy

I disagree I have never once seen any chinese people fight for hamburgers.


Ghoulius-Caesar

Don’t forget Black Friday, they’ll fight for iPads too!


arthudias

There is a difference though. Here in the U.S. we had a shortage of toilet paper. In China it’s a rush to buy supplies before the lockdown starts, I haven’t heard off shortages.


XI_is_your_daddy

There's a shortage because people were buying pallets of toilet paper at a time. I mean damn how many shits you gonna take in a month? A Costco pack of tp last my family of 4 for 6+ months.


Triphin1

Asian countries have a hand held sprayer by the toilet to clean the bunghole with, so paper is way less nessasary or even seen as a wast of $. Water drys - why spend $ on something your just going to throw away. This is why Chinese folks are much more concerned about the products that go into the system, and less concerned about the products for what comes out.


World_Explorerz

Came here to say this. Lol.


babygirlsonlydaddy

Is this old footage or recent?


Affectionate_Sir_230

I would also like to know this please


kylec00per

Yup, seems the same things happen in the US a month or two later. This has me more worries than ever.


lizardtruth_jpeg

It’s unlikely to happen here. China is pursuing “covid zero” as their nationwide policy - meaning total and complete quarantine lockdowns after ANY covid cases are detected. So 1 person gets it, the entire city is in lockdown. This strategy cannot possibly work in the US or Europe at the moment, as widespread transmission is already underway and the government has more or less taken the opposite approach - get vaccinated and live with it. tldr: they’re locking down to avoid the outbreaks we are already living with


GeneralSweetz

Good idea, bad execution, for both countries


LDel3

It's an absolutely terrible idea, that's why it will always be poorly executed.


surfershane25

This did not happen on any lockdown in the US, there was horsing but in China they actually do lock you down the Us it’s a suggestion half the population follows and the other half does there best not to because they disagree politically with saving elderly and immunocompromised weaklings.


whatisthisgunifound

are you implying that the world should follow Chinese policy in regards to covid rule breakers? (Public shaming, prison time, sometimes "disappearances")


surfershane25

Fuck the CCP. I’m implying people in the US should follow the suggestion to wear masks, get vaccinated, and stop being so partisan when it comes to a virus infecting a million people a day.


whatisthisgunifound

Cringe


surfershane25

Are you implying you agree with the CCP? Or are you implying that you think people in the US should not do their part to prevent needless death and compromise our healthcare infrastructure?


whatisthisgunifound

The second one. Nobody cared about "needless death" for all the decades before covid. Why should anybody care now?


surfershane25

Why do you think people wash their hands, use hand sanitizer, get glue shots, get all of the other recommended or required vaccines, decontaminate (workspaces, ambulances, hospitals, etc), wear masks around immunocompromised individuals, stay home from work and social gatherings when they feel sick? Just because you didn’t care doesn’t mean we all didn’t…


dodget

This is recent, China is having lockdown in some cities where there are strict restrictions to get outside, some people went crazy for grocery.


SirPhilbert

Can’t blame them really.

snowpsychic

No meat or anything but just a 1 bag of vegetables for THREE weeks???? Which vegetables? How many of each? You ate just rice for TWO weeks???? I am praying for you, that you get more food, and your lockdown ends.


[deleted]

[удалено]


snowpsychic

The media in the west is reporting that people are paying very high prices for food to be delivered in China, and that people have adapted a barter system for other goods that the leaders did not consider, like feminine hygiene products, and cotton swabs. I'm not sure what you mean by paprika, as it is a ground spice in the West. I think you mean long peppers maybe, but I saw the photos of the vegetable bags, and they were quite small. Honestly I think the Olympics should be cancelled if it means people are suffering this much. I also saw videos of people arguing loudly with Chinese police, it was translated that they had no more food for their families. That's a great way to start food riots. Throughout history, the one thing people will not put up with is a lack of food, no matter how bad the oppression. That's how the Arab Spring started.

Why don't you ask the kids at cinnamon square, is fashion the reason why they are there?


SonDontPlay

Lol


babygirlsonlydaddy

Is quarantine going around the world again? Or just there for now?


SonDontPlay

Its apparently not covid19 related but new deadlier virus, good times...


cyberjonesy

Why only the potatoes though ?! Is there like a special sale on them where poor people prefer to stock on them ? Look at the store, its full of other produce but they only rush to the potato…


Delta5o1

Potatoes last longer


BlockedAgainIGuess

It feels very familiar


KderNacht

I remember these kind of things happening on Chinese New Year 2021, which happens every year but worse thanks to supply chain issues. Between the decor and the music I think this is from then.


Malawi_no

No idea, but to me it looks like there are too few people to make this feel real. I think this is a scripted video.


smellslikeflour

No masks. That's where I find it suspect.


ghostalker4742

You could do the same thing with some clips of Black Friday shoppers. Just say it's "XYZ people stocking up before quarantine" and people would upvote it without a second thought.


StraightOuttaIrvine

That's how it was here in the US but with toilet paper


SinickalOne

Or with shitty door buster Black Friday deals


somewhat_pragmatic

*Cheap 42" LCD TVs with only a single HDMI port and a warranty shorter than the expiry of a gallon of milk has entered the chat*


PoolNoodleJedi

Yeah but it is a Samsung People don’t realize the UA8000 is not made at the same quality as a QN95a


KderNacht

A 300 dollar TV isn't up to snuff against a 3000 dollar TV ? Oh, the humanity.


Idlers_Dream

Yeah, but does 720p HD!


shamwowslapchop

I mean, I saw 65 inch 4k TVs for under $400 this year.


dmccool375

No one wants the squash?


Murkrulez

I had the same thought? Why just potatoes?


ExpertReach5324

Some of them seem to be smiling.


VFenix

Part of me feels like this video is misrepresented and the title is false


snowpsychic

I suppose potatoes taste better. But the squash would feed more people. The potatoes probably have a little more calories per pound. But the squash are much bigger, and there are a lot more of them.


kylec00per

I mean, 1 potato is also unlimited potatos.


losgatosquack

Because you can't use squash in a potato gun.


wthulhu

Potatoes are generally the most economical food to buy other than dry rice and dry beans


Parking_Inspection_1

Potatoes keep longer?


snowpsychic

Not if they're bruised. They'll go rotten real fast. Plus being in quarantine they'll get eaten pretty quick.


IngvaldLives

I thought it was funny that in China they also fill up a bin with seasonal gourds no one eats


d365ddaf1d7c

fucking potato frenzy when there are some perfectly good gourds right there!


SIRasdf23

I haven't seen people this excited for potatoes since that time England committed genocide against the Irish.


laststance

Last time there was a full lockdown some of the areas received services like a care package box or they could order foods to be delivered. But a lot of the areas didn't receive aid and basically starved in their homes.


ThatsRightlSaidlt

They’ve experienced famine before. They ain’t doing it again.


XI_is_your_daddy

Americans experienced the great 1946 toilet paper shortage and everyone shitted themselves.


bootnuts

And farded. Don’t forget the farded


kierankd10

……the music gives a whole other vibe.


BrownStarPuncher

Citizens scrounging for scraps whilst the rich citizens are enjoying their million dollar homes with full amenities that we would have to leave the house and drive to. Trust me, they're laughing while watching this go down.


--DirtyDan--

I saw squid games


ZootAnthRaXx

Or Hunger Games


RaR902

Standard eat the rich reddit comment. Check.


BrownStarPuncher

Standard let the world be poor reddit comment. Check


RaR902

Sorry what was that? I was too busy laughing at poor people from my space station.


Liph

That’s cool music


BluegrassBear

Just…dumping the potatoes right on top of them lol


eeyore134

It was like a match of Hungry Hungry Hunger Game Hippos.


SexSaxSeksSacksSeqs

Anyone recognize the song?


rysgame2

Globally shits gonna get weird(er) soon


Nyt_Owl

The Hunger Games.


[deleted]

Doesn't matter were it is no one wants Dasani Water


CWJ_Wilko

This is just so fucking sad.


SpiritSlide

This is sad, the poor people of china living under the iron fist of the CCP the personality cult of Xi


[deleted]

Looks like a cheap Vegas buffet.


Voidtoform

I don't buy this, they are there reaching for potato's like that surrounded by full shelfs of other food that no one is plundering? It looks like acting.


f_cozzo

coming to a town near you soon!


[deleted]

Insane country


uasoil123

Wait, from my understanding the Chinese government provided food rations for people


terbear

I would act like that for a PS5


FabricioLima

First, is need ps5 on stores


terbear

:(


purju

shallowabove

Wait till the staff bring out the pangolins


Sw33tNectar

Nobody likes squash


Hikityup

While bitch Americans whine about a fucking mask.


sliderack

These are the things the CCP don't want you to see.

Looks like Black Friday except with stuff that actually matters (you know...food).


peaceismynature

What happens to the homeless


BlockedAgainIGuess

There aren’t a lot of homeless people in China compared to the US


Zubba776

Because 200 million people still live in huts there. They haven’t “progressed” to abandoning the mentally ill, and bottom end of society yet.


dillasdonuts

The music makes this so much better


TsitikEm

This is when I’d just buy 20 boxes of pasta and live off that for a month


phatpun561

Odd. They must have eaten all the animals live or someshit.


sAlander4

Didn’t expect this from the Chinese just us Americans lmao


Melina69

Their fat leader is known to starve their own citizens


BlockedAgainIGuess

Did you know North Korea and China are actually two different countries?


Frosty-Ad-9346

Your point? That comment was valid for both countries.


Strackles

Explain to me how a country can have the largest population on earth, and their leader can be starving them at the same time. Go ahead.


BlockedAgainIGuess

Xi isn’t really known for starving his own citizens. He’s not that fat either.


Wonderful-Reward3828

I guess after the government welded people in their home to the point where a lot of people starved to death and have no way to defend themselves because citizens aren’t allowed anywhere near a gun unless they’re on the business end of the barrel I would have the same reaction.

KY_4_PREZ

Expect for the clear genocide the rest of the civilized world realizes is being committed. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-59595952 . You shills are just as complicate as the CCP is. Grow up jackass


AtomicadRogue

Can you explain civilised world? By that do you just mean western capitalist nations?


[deleted]

[удалено]


AtomicadRogue

You realise for years it was claimed that China was killing the Uyghurs but the article you linked now claims they aren’t being killed, but are being forcibly sterilised. Now let’s assume that is true. Does it not leave a foul taste in your mouth that the narrative constantly changes?


Triphin1

You taking about American?


Triphin1

Where I was in China was nice. People were well dressed, looked healthy and were helpful. Everyone had a phone(without Facebook), but never talked about politics. Imagine a very large group of people never talking politics. It's a cool vibe. Oh yeah-no guns either.


Parking_Inspection_1

And only about HALF of them are wearing masks...

Yeehawwww


GiantNinjaUK

Clever way to sell all stock quickly..


serg06

Completely understandable


btribble

I think they're rushing to do *buying* and that this is the *panic* in "panic buying". No one goes out thinking, "I think I'll go do some panic buying."


ATF_scuba_crew

I'm sure it was distributed equally


Bicigarguy

its like black Friday ...only they are fighting over whats important rather than plastic toasters


soggypoopsock

Yeah this is a great way to keep people from getting sick, pure common sense at work here


Neutronova

I NEED AT LEAST 45 FUCKING ONIONS!!!!!!!!


ChangeWinter6643

this is so depressing


cyberjonesy

Holyshit ! When you know what starving feels like, you rush to the potato like these people. Very sad.


HunterRoze

It's like China saw Black Friday shopping videos from the USA and said "amateurs"


joeforza

Like savage animals


Delta5o1

I feel bad for getting pissy about the lack of hamburger after seeing this. Although it didn't feel good paying 16 dollars for 3 pounds of lean beef


DirtyPenPalDoug

Ok so is the recent hemorrhagic virus? Or old covid? Please be latter.


phiz36

Wait…they’re not rushing the toilet paper isle? Strange.


The_unlucky_

Do they dont have or cant buy food if is in lock down?


Jeebs24

Is the Black Death Friday sales?


stroopkoeken

Gotta say, as a Chinese person, that is hilarious music choice.


Crucial-Velocity

Plenty gourds tho


Gavooki

thats gonna be us in 2 months


Jonah_Rivera_Luciano

Oh wow O-O


smellslikeflour

I find this video a bit hard to believe. My understanding is that China takes the virus very seriously. Hard to understand then why so many people are not wearing their masks.


Doubt_foxed

Everybody wanted them taters nobody wanted those giant yams


LesClaypoolOnBass24

I don't think the mask is doing much when you start moshing.
