I'm not even being difficult. I am completely serious.

I know you are, I paused over that one as I wrote it and decided to leave it. I considered that humans/humanoids didn't have toilet paper for a long ass time (I had to) and survived. Albeit some might have died from bacterial illness, but it could well be argued the planet was a healthier place with fewer humans, and the ultimate necessity is this planet, healthy.
