Some of this is funny. In the early 1900s when most homes had outhouses (latrines, people wiped their butts with Montgomery Ward catalog pages because they were not glossy or in color then, and some people used corn cobs. talk about pain! Ick! Some people used tree leaves. My parents were children during the 1930s, they had an outhouse, and used the Ward catalog for TP. No flushing, so what was used was dropped into the hole. It is 2021, and I am glad TP is back on store shelves!

as an asian, I recommend buying and installing a bidet, water gun that arse, water gun while scraping off using soap, clean soap, foam hands using soap, rigorously clean that arse with the foamed hand, keep rigorously cleaning while bidet is sprinkling with water, and boi that arse clean now. way much better than just scraping off using toilet paper. and for added cleanliness, take a bath after, soap whole body, scrape it off using a hand towel.

Don't make this complicated, If the West run out of toilet paper just install bidet or wash your asses with antibacterial soap and water (and ofcourse you should wash off your hands thoroughly afterwards like twice or thrice to make sure that your hands are clean enough.
Don't be disgust about washing your own a-holes with your hand, it's more efficient, hygienic, and eco-friendly than wiping it with TP.

Paper towels aren't supposed to even be flushed. it says not to on the wrappers. Early 1900s people usually had a thick Sears or Wards catalog in their outhouse, tearing out pages to wipe with. That was before the pages were glossy and had color photos. Some farm people in the outhouse days used corn cobs. ouch! Toilet paper is simply more of a sanitary option, and soft on the butt.

If you really think about it, if the entire world ran out of toilet paper, that implies that we can no longer produce it and have burned through the remaining reserves. And since toilet paper comes from trees, well, that would mean most of if not all of the trees would be gone in this scenario, which would no doubt affect us negatively and fishing season.

Fun fact: it's dangerous to wipe yourself with a paper roll especially wiping ur ass and doodle off because there will be leftover pieces and you get admitted to the hospital
Best alternative: paper towels or newspapers

Americans: -runs out of toilet paper. -
Filos: -laughs in kabo/bidet. -
Seriously, it baffles me to no end as to why Americans still use toilet paper than just straight up using water.

I disagree with this analysis. I think people would turn to rags or something similar to foldable diapers before they used actual paper. We would start treating them just like reusable diapers.

Humans want to save trees by using electronic devices instead of paper.
But can't do a alternative to toilet paper that is already available.
