    You should see/try socialist/communist toilet paper. Not only is it thin like this, it will also no-so-gently exfoliate your anus.

      More like totalitarian toilet paper

      Real stateless, classless societies could probably come up with something less barbaric than smearing your asshole with earth-destroying lumber

        Traveling with school to Poland and Czechia in the late 90s we were told to always bring our own TP if using public restrooms. Not because of the quality, as much as because of the non-existence, of TP.

        30 teens were rolling into Poland each with at least one roll of TP in the luggage. No one had to use it.

          When I studied in China I was always reminded to take a tp roll with me

          Once I forgot, and I realized that even in a KFC the tp was missing in the toilet
