Germany’s ZDF Public Television Suggests Bathing Once A Week Would Be Beneficial

Private daily showers to become a luxury for the privileged and wealthy in Germany?

“What if we showered/bathed only once a week?”



You won’t shower any more, and you’ll be happy, German ZDF broadcaster suggests. Image cropped from ZDF kugelzwei.

What the BBC is to Great Britain, are what the WDR and ARD public broadcasting are to Germany in terms of television and radio presence.

Just some weeks ago, the Instagram site of WDR kugelzwei presented some tips that save heat and energy for citizens to consider: showering only once a week.

After all: “Around 100 years ago, it was still customary to bathe only once a week,” wrote kugelzwei. “Today, people almost look at you strangely if you tell them you don’t shower several times a week.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

We can't do that here.  I remember our POTUS praising Imam Obama for being a clean black man and he can't live up to that by cleaning up once a week.  I suppose congress could make an exception of the Imam, though. :whistle:

I would go nuts if I bathed only once a week.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

Well one thing for sure, if people only bathed once a week social distancing would become universally supported in no time!

There is no way, no how I'm going to step up the baths to more than 2 per month!!

For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

It will be like the olden days, when people drenched themselves in perfume to mask the BO.

Ugh, no thanks.

HA! in your dreams if I am up in the bush. Especially in the winter.  :laugh:
Getting rained on counts as a shower don't it?
