The imperative

I went to panic buy and bought too many toilet rolls

and they're all going to be expired soon.

Have you wondered why you bought so many rolls of toilet paper?

But have you ever wondered why people panic buy toilet papers

Or even a “disaster” like this COVID-19,

which is made out of False Evidence Appearing Real?

(Background) What’s False Evidence Appearing Real?

Well, I don't know, so let us know what you think

Moving on, let us explain why people panic buy toilet paper

during a disaster, and this is not just based on our theories,

In case you didn't know, there are actually four reasons

why people buy toilet rolls during a disaster

I mean, I still do buy a lot of clothes during this period of time

You see, according to  Dr Dimitrios Tsivrikos,

an expert in consumer and behavioural science at the University College London

the size of it contributes to the panic buying.

He said and I quote, “The bigger they are, the more important we think they are."

And we tend to associate things that are expensive to  be more important.

Another expert also pointed out that due to its size,

it’s easier for shelves to be emptied out

and so we think that the product is even more important than

"Oh, shit, the shelves are being cleared out

get bought from the shelf is nothing unusual

that'll eventually get filled up by other products

But if we talk about something big, like toilet rolls

cannot be readily replaced by other products

what other factors contribute to this highly irrational behaviour?

Don't worry, we've created this scene for you

simply because we’re all “monkey see monkey do”

This is even worse for someone who’s been to NS

Here, let us go interview someone who’s been through NS

Host: So, what is the "monkey see monkey do" behaviour in NS?

Then the Enick told one of the company guys

The guy didn't inform us and just went down himself

The rest of us went down because it was "Enick's instruction"

I told my friends and my friends told their friends

the Enick just wanted to borrow a lighter!

Two hours just because we thought the Enick wanted us to fall in

In the army, we can do a lot of things in two hours

So how much are you paying me for this interview?

Okay, because if you pay me more, I'll talk more
