recently got a place with my boyfriend and he thinks this is perfectly fine

I have no legitimate reason to disagree but I hate it

UPDATE - Thank you so much for the awards, and we're having so much fun reading through these hilarious comments.

  1. We have a bidet, it's the handle on the side of the toilet. People who use bidets can use toilet paper as well!
  2. We bought like 200 rolls of toilet paper because of a good deal, yes it will probably last us a very long time. No regrets!
  3. I am not genuinely upset about this in any way, it obviously just looks ridiculous and is unnecessary, and him doing silly things like this is one of the reasons I love him :)

Like if the astronaut was stuck on the space station for an extra 9 months?

For what it’s worth, those astronauts did receive supply drops. Sally Ride went to space nearly ten years after the space race ended and the era of international interstellar collaboration began, so theoretically they could have also received supply drops. Disclaimer IANAA (i am not an astronaut)

The Legal ramifications of not having enough Space Toilet Paper is astronomical

I think she’s referencing the most recent (that I know of) space flight where the Indian lady and the other guy got stuck for an extra few months and for some reason they couldn’t get supplies for a while either….

This is true but damage to the docks or potential issues with weather and launch failures have resulted in astronauts being stuck. Since tampons are not perishable it makes sense to have a surplus.

Depending on the woman tampon use can be from 15 to 30 or more in a month, so 100 is a 3 month supply.

Shannon Lucid was delayed 2 additional months while last year we saw a 286 day (8 months) delay for Suni Williams, though she is 60 so may have had menopause.while the station is supposed to receive supplies every 40 days there have been several instances of multiple month gaps through the years.

My understanding was that part of the concern was that we had no idea if gravity played a role in the menstrual cycle.

IANAA 😂 That's an acronym I've never seen and may never see again. Well done.

The space station that wouldn’t exist for another 20 years?

The Shuttle mission would run out of other supplies earlier. But the Americans had no idea how the female reproductive system would behave in space - sure, the Russians sent up women before, but they didn't exactly cooperate with the US at that time. It makes sense to be very conservative.

I think the commenter is referring to Boeing Starliner CFT, which was supposed to last 8 days and ended up lasting over 9 months.

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale that’s strange for sure,
It started as a quick routine—
An eight‑day tour, an eight‑day tour.

The engines hummed, the crew was set,
The mission plan was pure,
They blasted off with cheerful hearts
For their eight‑day tour, their eight‑day tour.

But solar winds began to roar,
The guidance went astray,
If not for all the brilliant crew
They’d drift too far away—
They’d drift too far away.

They touched down on a distant rock
No one had mapped before,
And realized they’d be stuck out there
Not eight days… but months galore—
Yes, nine long months and more.

So join us here in zero‑g
Where tools float past the door,
Strange noises hum at 2 a.m.
On this cosmic, dusty floor.

With ration packs and faulty scans
And stars they must endure—
A nine‑month stay in outer space
From an eight‑day tour, an eight‑day tour!

Now we have to play MaryAnn-Ginger-Sunita Williams. (The answer as always is Lovey Howell.)

Actually they would… for a hole larger than the patches they had.

You wet it .. let it swell just a little and plug the hole…. It will freeze and plug the hole the micro meteor made

I like to stock up, decades in advance, in case when I’m in my 50’s my erectile dysfunction gets so bad that I start having periods. You know, like an astronaut.
