Germans are taking fewer showers in response to energy shortages and the cost of living crisis, it has been revealed.
A poll conducted by INSA on behalf of Bild newspaper finds that almost two thirds of Germans are now taking shorter showers in response to numerous government appeals to do so.
62% of respondents to the poll said they had reduced their shower time and are showing less frequently compared to just a few weeks ago, while 35% say they haven’t changed their cleaning routine.
Unsurprisingly, those in the lowest income group said they had changed their behavior more significantly than any other group.
Almost half of respondents (45%) also said they were making preparations for a difficult winter, such as buying an emergency power generator. more here
So they are now like the French.
Shower with a friend … or two … or three …
If history proves correct, “showers” are suspect in that country.
You can very easily take a shower with 10 gallons of water. At 5 cents a gallon, 50 cents of water and, what, a dollar of expensive German natural gas to heat the water? A buck fiddy for a shower. 45 bucks a month, showering daily. If they now take a shower once every 3 days, that’s $30 savings to smell like a pig.
Things I bet they’re not cutting, a $120/mo cell phone bill and $150/mo cable TV propaganda. Heck, I’d cut that crap first and then sit in the shower for an hour per day and still save $30/month.
A smelly German should just pick up his soap-on-a-rope and head for the nearest demonstration / riot and wait for the cops to show up with the water cannons.
Wir haben keinen heiss wasser!! Ach du Lieber!
I don’t care how much it costs I’m going to take a shower once a week if I need one or not!
Cleanliness used to be EVERYTHING in Germany.
No German would give it up.
So I can only infer there are no more actual Germans left.
All the ragheads in Germany not taking ANY showers is probably skewing the data.
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
Remember when they laughed at President Trump when he warned them about dependency on Russian energy?
Who answers a survey asking if you took a shower? I once received a similar obscene phone call .
Plenty of lakes and rivers in Germany and they’re all suppose to be such econ nuts over there, what gives?
“Those on the left will get on the train and those on the right will proceed to the showers.”
