As households continue to stock up on toilet paper -- emptying shelves across the country -- a new website is attempting to answer the question: How much TP do we really need

Howmuchtoiletpaper.com is a website created by student software developer Ben Sassoon and artist Sam Harris, both based in London, in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The tool calculates just how long your stash of TP will last you during a quarantine.The idea came to them naturally, while talking about how much toilet paper they used, and how that would change during the pandemic. Thus, the website was born. The layout is simple.

More than 2 million people have used the tool, the website says, and the average user has a whopping 500% more toilet paper than they need for quarantine.The whole point of the tool is to reduce the toilet paper shortage around the world, which has begun as folks panic-buy rolls out of fear of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic."Not everyone is able to get to a store and stock up on toilet roll. Don't be selfish," the website says bluntly.

All you “need” is to not be an asshole and respect others. These are the basics

93 days lol

posting crappy articles again, shocker.

Umm Not much since the hoarders take everything else as well. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Stores should have set a limit since day 1

How does this TP calculate take into account that one of the mild symptoms of coronavirus is diarrhea. Also some people use different amounts. It also depends on the texture of each person's poo.

CNN. For all the latest important news. What a crock of crap

I’d be happy to find bread and meat in the store. This is the bread aisle last Saturday. It was the same when I went today. I know it’s being restocked but it’s still being bought up.

Here’s another solution, stop calculating the time/consumption metric and tell people to stop buying enough TP to wipe their asses from now till the end of time!! By the way, the end of time will be when the sun burns out, I highly suspect a large % of us won’t be here!

Venta de carros

No one needs friggin toilet paper to survive...

😂 me and my wife use one roll for 8 days we had 12 roll before the TP shortage started buy 12 rolls every 3 months so really need to know this 😂😂😂😂, buts it is about time CNN reported something true 😂😂😂😂

Depends upon the size of the household....

Makes me sick to see how these people act, it’s called buy what you need for a week, respect the old people and we will all get through this. God bless our great nation and our President.

Could this drag Americans to the bidet? Dundee figured it out.

I 💩 every 3 days. Problem solved.

I guess I can fertilize my lawn and plants with my poo. ✌️ Wipe my booty with my fingers, water from the hose, and with some hand soap.

Begin to use water instead of paper

Do you have the math for Deli Belly.

Stock up?! Considered elderly and people on limited income. Maybe, take what you need.

Stop eating spicy and acidic food, y’all. Save us all.

For us adult wipe users, I’m just happy people aren’t going crazy over that. Baby section is still safe
