      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!

      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 😏

    If you are under 18 you don't pay a cent for it.
    If your are between 18 and 24 you pay 5-10 euros (usually 5 unless you are picky) only after you turned 24 you pay full price which is usually not that much. If you aren't picky that is.

      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.

    • @LycanFerret
      @LycanFerret Před rokem +1

      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.

    • @LycanFerret
      @LycanFerret Před rokem +1

      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.
