This is like the dumbest take ever, do you think people go and take a shit on the park in big European cities?

I live in Berlin and compared to most other European cities it’s a shit hole, but one thing I can tell you is the cleanliness and green nature of the public parks. Most of the time people actually care about the public parks (with exception of few)

However, one thing to worry about is the tick bites or any other insect bites, but that’s part of the nature

In Spain dogs have taken over city parks, so pretty much the description is correct... nobody in their right mind lets their children play with the sand in parks in Spain

That is sad, so people don’t pick up after the dogs or are they stray dogs?

theyll pick the shit, they might pour some water from a bottle where the dog peed... but the main problem is the sheer amount of dogs in cities, people are just non-committal on having babies and instead keep a dog or two

Where do you think ticks come from in a city park...?
