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

#23I look forward to seeing a lifehacking hyper-optimizer streamline this to a polished daily workflow... "I have a bucket of mud, in which I stick my hands for 15 minutes every morning. Every weekend, I inoculate at a 1:5:5 ratio with biologically active stream dirt (after petri-dishing to check for activity), and a mix of poor-quality soil cover, and some compost; I finish by adding a 10-10-10 balanced fertilizer.

They'd be copying the greats! I have seen a distinct pattern of artists and photographers doing self portraits while rolling around in shit or mud.

By your spelling of the word "germofoob" I get the impression that you're Dutch, am I correct? In that case I suspect that the "dozens of animals" you see "shitting on the same spot" are dogs in a small green area in a Dutch village or town. That is indeed not the spot to let your children play, fortunately the Netherlands does have plenty of "real nature" (or at least as real as anything can be in a man-made country) where they can play without being subjected to canine playdough.

There’s a startup opportunity: a body cream with concentrates of beneficial microorganisms.
“Pair it with our full spectrum sun lamp and you can have all the benefits of playing outside from the comfort of your standing desk”.
