@@whocares269 That's awesome!

@@whocares269 If I get prescribed meds, I have to pay for them, but not the full price and if it's for longer use, they get cheaper with every purchase.. so not free, but never full price either.. and you can't buy alcohol from the stores between 9pm and 9am.. not that long ago you couldn't buy alcohol anywhere on Sundays..

Kinda counterintuitive considering they have declining birth rates.

As for sauna culture, we don’t really have that. Yes, you must be naked but you also a) must sit on a towel at all times. Sweat on the wood is forbidden. Repeat offenders are punished by being placed on a no-fly list to Mallorca. B) Under no circumstances can you leave during the Aufguss, even if it kills you. If you do, scores of flabby old men, plus one really fit, not-naked saunameister will glare at you through the dense steam. C) You may not eat, drink or give birth in the sauna. Talking is also not a good idea. D) You are to shower before the sauna and after the sauna, before you jump into the cold water pool. Had we saunas outside, you’d probably be required to shower before rolling in the snow or jumping in a lake. These are just a few selected rules of the German sauna. You may, however, have an isotonic beer at the bar after you have showered, cooled off, rested, disinfected your feet and put on a bathrobe and flip-flops. Cheers!

That's just what a sauna is. I'm from Denmark, and wearing a towel to a Sauna is not normal unless it's a public mixed-gender sauna. Public or private male or female saunas are always nude. Private saunas are as nude as your home showers.

@@Thor.Jorgensen exactly

@@Thor.Jorgensen Most saunas in Germany are public and mixed. And naked.

I have one good Russian friend, she’s not a fan of Putin. We should have brought Russia in from the cold after communism fell. How stupid to have not taken that opportunity to embrace a huge Christian nation into our prosperity.

Natürlich muss man jeder Sauna nackt sein.

Why would you even do that? That is so uncivillized

For reasons of hygiene you DO need to be naked in every sauna, unless no one is enforcing the rules.

Well many saunas are offering a monthly "Sauna for shy people" where you can enter in bathing clothes. Bit i prefere the naked Sauna. People tend to be more civilized when naked, like keep distance, avoid staring, and of course its much more comfy beeing naked then sitting and sweating in hot Bikini.

Er meint wohl die Gemischte Sauna..

Was trinken wir? Licher Pils!

Well, it's certainly cheap

In Germany the liqor is the reason we have them.

Still ridiculously cheap by UK standards

As a young person, I wouldn't go only to a sauna, but if a gym or spa had a sauna, I'd use it

It's you. I know a lot of people who go to saunas and I'm way under 40. Basically every time I get the chance, I go. Even on business travel, but mostly privately with friends or spouses.

Dafuq... Like 90% of all people that I know who are not insecure and are at least 20 go to the sauna atleast 4 times a year minimum...

Yeah what like England gets shafted by their government while the devolved nations enjoy much more as should England but they're too propagandised to.

@@martinaitken7825 Like not being able to buy alcohol after 10pm, that's mad, in England you can buy alcohol whenever you want. It gets trickier after 10pm because most shops are closed but there's plenty of 24 hour shops.

I'm Scottish living in England. There are quite a few things I prefer about England and the whole Sunday trading guddle has never once tripped me up. It's not a big deal if you're even slightly organised and the smaller places are exempt from those rules anyway, so stay open very late. You can also still get multibuy and special offers on booze in England. Also the supermarket delivery vans are still doing drops until 9-10pm or so on a Sunday...

I have lived here for years, if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

Russia also has naked saunas

sweating over a bench where others come to is also sticky and disgusting

So you prefer to go inside naked in a small, swetty room with other man?

In uk naked saunas are normal but they aren’t mixed sexes.

​​@@hugolindum7728Germany overcame the apartheid of sexes 😅

Let us know what your reverse culture shocks are :)

Are you currently in Germany now

Why would you do that, especially after Brexit oO

I knew Germans who were living in Scotland. Even dated one of them for a while. But this was in 2005 and the family moved back in dribs and drabs from 2011 onwards, even before Brexit.

You don’t though

@@davidlittle7182 currently paying 21% and 41%. There is a 45% in England but that's not obtainable for the middle class is it.

Why should it be free?

But if you have to pay a small fee, the contraception is not free :)

True, that is, why I wrote below the age of 22 it is free. The point in the video was, that you might not just be able to buy the best suited contraception because of the price. As in Germany contraceptions except for the morning-after pill need to be prescribed, the doctor has to make sure, that you get the best suited contraception. BTW If you pay taxes and get something from the state without any fees, it is also not free. It is just financed differently financed through a community not unlikely to a statutory insurance 😏

@@peter_meyer who decides what is “sensibly”?

​@@kingofracism As usual reactionaries recycle the same talking points while insisting you're all individuals.

1 Euro for a beer is already ridiculously cheap from my point of view

A can of coke costs more than that in the UK

1Eur ganz normaler Späti Preis.

Spätis are everywhere and usually are open much earlier and much later than supermarkets, but you have to pay 2x or 3x normal prices for that service (and because they often can't buy in bulk like big supermarket chains)

She also bought her beer in a Späti where everything is easily available at times when other shops might have closed or are more distant, but prices are usually 2x or 3x those of supermarkets to make it worth for the owner.

This. I've always found it ironic that the poorest closest to homeless people end up having the most kids. Worldwide. Even in the past. Richer families had 1-2 kids. Poor ones? 10 children. But it is also thanks to diet. Trash food limits the female's body ability to discern a healthy or trash fetus and lets them all live. A well-fed nurtured woman's body miscarries the fetus early early on if it's not good enough. Built-in eugenics for healthy genes. So in reality more children = you're physically sick or malnourished. Also why parents who do drugs and drink a lot can pop out kids like rabbits.

I hear so many people whine and whine about the declining birth rates. So you want to eat and live like the countries with higher birth rates? Nigeria where they prescribe starvation to pregnant women to make the babies smaller because they're so malnourished they can't give birth right? The more a country has crippling poverty worldwide, the more kids they will produce because their bodies see themselves as about to keel over and decease so they want to pump out gene meat sacks as fast as humanly possible. Rich well-off countries(look up all the low birth rate countries, most don't even have birth control) can be more selective. Their bodies know they'll live and produce a long time so they can take time off from chucking kids into the world everytime they have sex.

The way to a healthier population involves both male and female parents taking 2 years minimum prior to conceiving to stop drugs, drinking, and take vitamins and get healthy. Then they take 2 years minimum between each baby to repeat the last 2 years. And ideally stop having kids when they can't feed them properly. This gives children the best genetics they can hope for for a stronger healthier population that isn't just modern slave labor.

@@LycanFerret I call BS. I know a family living very healthy and they had a child with disabilities. Doesn't at all fit into your narrative. Explain.

@@LycanFerret "Nigeria where they prescribe starvation to pregnant women " prove it. The rest: Bollocks. All "rich, well-off countries" offer easy access to birth control. People in poor countries have many kids because these countries don't offer some kind of pension. This has been studied decades ago. Your theory is a blatant conspiracy claim and lacks any scientific proof.
