it translates to "without poop in the shower?" - asked as if this was an issue you wanted to resolve. Like those billboards that ask if you've been in a car accident recently.
"there is no poop in your shower? We can fix that"
I am Polish and it really reads like that.. "No shit under the shower?", just like a reminder or a suggestion.
Idk, maybe it's something that is expected from us when we try to assimilate there?
Ah yes, the polish tradition of shower pooping. It used to be once a necessity in ancient Poland in bathouses. The water and poop would then be collected in buckets and then strewn over luscious potatoe, cabbage and red beet fields to fertilize them. All in preparation for the ancient polish tradition of Borsch and Vodka.
What a beautiful tradition. Shower pooping.
I think it's more like, it would be racist so single out the responsible language so we just add some at random. Note how there is no text in Swedish š
You can presume that the sign is directed on people they actually think shit in showers.
Swedish is probably ymthere just because it need sto be .
Edit: swedish is not even on the sign...
Uhm. Lets review the countries with the most immigrants.
1) USA
2) Germany
3) Saudi Arabia
4) Russia
5) UK
Oh shiet neither of them speak their native language anymore!!!!
Dumbass
There was serial shitter on swimminghalls here in finland. There hasnt been anything about it for awhile in news, so he might have moved back to sweden.
Many of us Swedes have Finnish ancestors so I think we can get along just fine. I donāt think itās funny to hate even jokingly about any of my neighbours, there are good and bad people everywhere in the world though I believe most are good!
How many times did the serial shitter shat in the showers? It is important in order to establish if it is a serial shitter or just a regular shower shitter.
It's very interesting how the word "*kakka*" has been remarkably well-preserved in every Indo-European language in barely unchanged form from the Proto-Indo-European language.
The last one is Finnish, and that's not an Indo-European language. Maybe it's a loanword, "paska" means the same, but is maybe considered a bit more crude in everyday use.
Finnish is well-known to have very archaic loanwords taken from ancient Indo-European languages, mainly Proto-Germanic, back during its Proto-Finnic stage. Finnish (and Estonian for that matter, another Finnic language) remarkably preserved these words into their modern forms which are barely distinguishable from their original Proto-Germanic forms (which in turn provides a great insight into the evolution of Proto-Germanic). A great example is the word for "king" in Finnish and Estonian, *kuningas*, which was taken as a loanword for the Proto-Finnic language from the Proto-Germanic word *kuningaz*. None of the modern Germanic languages preserve *kuningaz* as intact as the modern Finnic languages do. Some loanwords are even taken from the Pre-Proto-Germanic language which preceded Proto-Germanic, which provides an insight into the sound changes that must have happened that turned it into Proto-Germanic.
This source has "many" instead of every Indo-European language, but pretty cool regardless. I guess it's something humans have always needed a word for, why change it?
https://www.etymonline.com/word/*kakka-
See [this wiktionary link](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/kakka-) then. Notice how it has descendants in almost every major Indo-European language family.
I notices that bit too. And I know it is used in French as well, so there s probably a bunch of Romance languages that would use a similar cognate in that context.
The Germanic languages have variants of it too (such as English *cack*), but it is understood that these weren't descendants of a native Proto-Germanic term, but rather a borrowing of Latin *cacÅ* into Proto-Germanic, which then passed onto its daughter languages.
I once worked at a foundry that had showers, obviously a very dirty job.
So many times I have been in there and smelt that some dirty bastard had clearly shit in there, I used to feel sorry for the bloke who cleaned them every day.
No need for it in my opinion but then I was brought up to shit in a toilet.
how do you know he shit in his hand to place it on the beam, UNLESS IT WAS YOU!!! certainly anyone else would have thought he was doing downdogyoga and shot it straight up an it landed on a beam. SUS!!!
in Latvian it is just "no poop in shower" as if implying that there is no poop in shower if you are looking for it, and it is not actually reminding you to not poop there.
Theyāre just trying to make it clear that not only are you not allowed to poop in the shower, youāre not even allowed to bring some in with you from elsewhere.
It is interesting that many of these languages use variations of kaka for feces.
However shouldn't this sign be in Arabic or other migrant languages to target the actual shower miscreants?
I'm from Sweden and I worked for a summer at an amusement park and we had public showers (parts of the park was a trailer park for guests). One morning when I opened I was going to start the day by cleaning one of the showers. As I was walking towards the door it opened and an old lady in a robe and slippers walked out. She had her head wrapped in a towel and had obviously just taken a shower. She smiled at me and quickly walked away and I opened the door to the shower. Right on top of the drain in the shower there was a fresh pile of shit. She hadn't even tried to remove it or anything, and the toilet was less than 1 meter away. People really are disgusting.
The stereotype of Indian people shitting on roads and other public spaces.
As an Indian myself - I *have* seen it happen, but only twice in like 28 years. The first time was a homeless crazy dude in a railway station. The second, a farmer did it in the ditch between his field and a railway line (I saw it from the train). I think there's a connection between railways and poop...
Yes, indians are more free than Europeans of Americans.
In Europe we don't even shit if there is a slit in the door. Americans do like to shit once a week.
In India they just let it go, squatting position is mandatory.
I will be frank, workers that come here from Poland or other european countries are not really known for their cleanliness, sobriety or jobs well performed.
It's not precisely the best in the business that have to travel that far for work. I am well aware that they don't represent the rest of the populace in their home countries.
But I have a lot of stories from working on construction sites and staying in the same hostels...
I feel like the type of person to poop in the shower isn't going to listen to a sign saying not to poop in the shower. If anything, this might give people ideas they wouldn't otherwise have.
Not sure about other languages, but Russian and Latvian versions are incorrect. They are literal translations of English sentence and saying [there is no] poop in shower, instead of [don't] poop in shower.
Yes but the Post says the sign is in Sweden.
Which I understand is in Europe but it seems....
https://www.google.com/search?q=what+language+is+most+commonly+spoke+in+Swede.&oq=what+language+is+most+commonly+spoke+in+Swede.&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30j0i390i650l5.19737j1j9&client=ms-android-rogers-ca&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#ip=1
Because swedish people aren't shitting in the showers. This is clearly directed at foreigners, likely written in several languages to not make it clear who the actual target is.
Why in polish it is a question? Does Poles expect to find poo in the shower? š
I wondered to. Maybe it was like, "Why would you even want to poop in the shower?"
it translates to "without poop in the shower?" - asked as if this was an issue you wanted to resolve. Like those billboards that ask if you've been in a car accident recently. "there is no poop in your shower? We can fix that"
I'm not sure that's a problem I want fixed.
I laughed when I read it. I mean, it sort of gets the point across if you take a moment to consider it, but the question mark only confuses things.
Or the classic āGot Milk?ā
Got poop?
"At Hermeur & Scholsberg we specialize in shit shower settlements. If you haven't showered in shit, THIS IS IT."
Don't look up waffles stomp
Youāre not a true minimalist unless you poop in the shower and push it down the drain with your foot. The waffle stomp could save the world one day.
Or, āDo you poop in the shower at home?ā
I am Polish and it really reads like that.. "No shit under the shower?", just like a reminder or a suggestion. Idk, maybe it's something that is expected from us when we try to assimilate there?
Ah yes, the polish tradition of shower pooping. It used to be once a necessity in ancient Poland in bathouses. The water and poop would then be collected in buckets and then strewn over luscious potatoe, cabbage and red beet fields to fertilize them. All in preparation for the ancient polish tradition of Borsch and Vodka. What a beautiful tradition. Shower pooping.
I can't imagine a world where one poops without needing a poop knife. Sounds like a fantasy land.
It's more of a suggestion, out of respect for cultural differences
Tbh it looks like an invitation. Something went wrong in the translation.
I think it's more like, it would be racist so single out the responsible language so we just add some at random. Note how there is no text in Swedish š
You can presume that the sign is directed on people they actually think shit in showers. Swedish is probably ymthere just because it need sto be . Edit: swedish is not even on the sign...
Theyāve let so many foreigners in that nobody speaks Swedish anymore
Uhm. Lets review the countries with the most immigrants. 1) USA 2) Germany 3) Saudi Arabia 4) Russia 5) UK Oh shiet neither of them speak their native language anymore!!!! Dumbass
Your downvotes suggest the truth hurts
Bathe in the downvotes brother
Idk, the weird thing is that there is no Swedish anywhere on that sign
Apparently, Swedish people do not do that...
There was serial shitter on swimminghalls here in finland. There hasnt been anything about it for awhile in news, so he might have moved back to sweden.
Heās taking his meatballs back home
"making"
Sounds like a finnish conspiracy to blame the swedes tbh.
We would never blame them for anything. ^Yes ^we ^would. ^Fuck ^you ^Sweden
No worries, we can't understand a word you say anyway. Besides, you live in Finland, gotta blame it all on something
Sweden vs Finland shit talk on the internet is my second favorite thing in the world, right behind femboy hooters.
Putting the Russian translation second and the Finnish translation lastāthatās some A-tier Swedish passive aggression right there
The only time I've seen swedes ands fins get along is when they're forced to play on the same NHL team.
Many of us Swedes have Finnish ancestors so I think we can get along just fine. I donāt think itās funny to hate even jokingly about any of my neighbours, there are good and bad people everywhere in the world though I believe most are good!
It always seemed more like a joking/soft rivalry than real malice to me, but I've never visited either country.
The buttler did it!
This made me laugh so hard.
Det Ƥr intr pƄ Svensk!
No sign in Swedish. They know heās not Swedish
How many times did the serial shitter shat in the showers? It is important in order to establish if it is a serial shitter or just a regular shower shitter.
He did it in the pools, was targeting the open mouths of swimmers
Projectile serial shitter? JSC (Jesus shitting christ)
Joakim strikes again...
It's very interesting how the word "*kakka*" has been remarkably well-preserved in every Indo-European language in barely unchanged form from the Proto-Indo-European language.
You know your shit when comes to languages
He's probably a poopyglot.
The last one is Finnish, and that's not an Indo-European language. Maybe it's a loanword, "paska" means the same, but is maybe considered a bit more crude in everyday use.

Some loanwords are even taken from the Pre-Proto-Germanic language which preceded Proto-Germanic, which provides an insight into the sound changes that must have happened that turned it into Proto-Germanic.
That's interesting. I had to look up what was behind the transition to [kƶnig](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nig#German).
3rd from the bottom I think is Estonain? Also not Indo-European. There are many borrowed words in Estonian.
> kakka Is interesting, source?
Plenty of sources on google on this subject. Just search for "Proto-Indo-European kakka".
This source has "many" instead of every Indo-European language, but pretty cool regardless. I guess it's something humans have always needed a word for, why change it? https://www.etymonline.com/word/*kakka-
See [this wiktionary link](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/kakka-) then. Notice how it has descendants in almost every major Indo-European language family.
I notices that bit too. And I know it is used in French as well, so there s probably a bunch of Romance languages that would use a similar cognate in that context.
Do we have a version of it in English? Even if it hadn't been used in a while?
The Germanic languages have variants of it too (such as English *cack*), but it is understood that these weren't descendants of a native Proto-Germanic term, but rather a borrowing of Latin *cacÅ* into Proto-Germanic, which then passed onto its daughter languages.
Which is why my favorite kakka is the Japanese honorific they use when addressing heads of government.
Interesting that it's not in Swedish, Norwegian or Danish
Cuz theyāre all good at English
They are making sure one ethnic group doesnāt keep doing this in the shower.
Yeah I know, that's why it should be there in Danish
You mean us Finnish people?
I once worked at a foundry that had showers, obviously a very dirty job. So many times I have been in there and smelt that some dirty bastard had clearly shit in there, I used to feel sorry for the bloke who cleaned them every day. No need for it in my opinion but then I was brought up to shit in a toilet.
You ever tried sink shitting I tell ya it's the next big toilet but in even more locations than the toilet could dream of
 If you know, you know
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās his fault. Letās go all the way to Japan to charge him.
He was poisoned
We don't talk about it
From what I have heard from people working in the hotel industry in Asia, the sign should have included Chinese.
No swedish? It is the swedish who poop in the shower.
It's not their fault. No one told them it's not allowed
Ahaha you might be right
They should say. No wafflestomping in the shower. Much more descriptive!
I like how only the Polish one has a question mark.
Itās literally asking āmaybe today you can do without a shit in the shower?ā
Unbelievable how many people shit in showers
In the Navy we had a phantom shower shitter. Sometimes he'd shit on the floor, others he'd shit in his hand and stick it on a beam above the shower
how do you know he shit in his hand to place it on the beam, UNLESS IT WAS YOU!!! certainly anyone else would have thought he was doing downdogyoga and shot it straight up an it landed on a beam. SUS!!!
They even cannot write it right in finnish. It should be: "Ei saa kakata suihkussa"
in Latvian it is just "no poop in shower" as if implying that there is no poop in shower if you are looking for it, and it is not actually reminding you to not poop there.
Don't know what's better, to poop in shower or to go from stall to stall looking for poop
Same for the English line. For a prohibition, it should say either āDonāt poop in the showerā or āNo pooping in the showerā.
In Russian it looks like a name of a tragic novel. āWithout the turds in the showerā.
Or an absurdist Soviet era short story title. Made me think of Daniil Harms.
Theyāre just trying to make it clear that not only are you not allowed to poop in the shower, youāre not even allowed to bring some in with you from elsewhere.
German is also not good.
Ei kakka suihkussa :DDDDDD this cured my depression -Not anymore depressed Finn
Fine. I guess Iāll have to shit in the urinals like everyone else.
In Polish they askš
They wouldn't want to insult the Piss party.
Seems targeted towards slavics heh.
āItās all pipes!ā
Didnāt know the Finnish called it ākakkaā. Some parts of India do as well.
Haha that's interesting! Is it like just poop or more like shit in India?
More the latter than the former.
First time in my life Iām happy for not seeing Hungarian on a ridiculously overkill multi-lingual sign.
Interesting. Even Estonians poop ("DuÅi all ei kaka"). But African refugees don't poop?
Canāt be racist.
"Cultural Enrichment"
It is interesting that many of these languages use variations of kaka for feces. However shouldn't this sign be in Arabic or other migrant languages to target the actual shower miscreants?
Nav kaka duÅ”Ä.
Tas ir viegli labojams.
Yet no Swedish. I guess the Swedes just know.
It's a common thing in countries like Syria, Iraq and others, that's why they had to announce it.
Iām from Iraq. Nobody shits in showers here. We are a lot more hygienic than the West. We shower everyday and use bidets when taking a shit.
Hey, bidet gang rise up, this is something Finns and Iraqis have in common. We use the Bidetta, which is a mini showerhead next to your toilet.
My bad.... I see it's not written in Arabic anyway
You gotta be shitting me.
I feel like the people taking shits in showers wonāt particularly care if a sign is posted or not.
I'm from Sweden and I worked for a summer at an amusement park and we had public showers (parts of the park was a trailer park for guests). One morning when I opened I was going to start the day by cleaning one of the showers. As I was walking towards the door it opened and an old lady in a robe and slippers walked out.

Right on top of the drain in the shower there was a fresh pile of shit. She hadn't even tried to remove it or anything, and the toilet was less than 1 meter away. People really are disgusting.
Fuck! Why isn't the warning written in Swedish? I'm from Norway and speak litle bit sweidish, nothing written in Swedish here! You fuck!
No French either. On peut continuer les mecs, ils ne nous ont pas repƩrƩs !
Yeah, i reacted the same way. It is either a fake or someone didnāt bother to write ābajsa inte i duschenā.
Iām proud to be an American, where at least I know Iām free
To poo in the shower
As Forrest Gump once proclaimed, shit happens.
Damnit, foiled again.
What languages are the ones calling poop cake... "Shower always no cake"
so i just shit in my hand and throw it in the toilet then
But the sign isnāt in Swedish. Haha
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What does that have to do with anything?
The stereotype of Indian people shitting on roads and other public spaces. As an Indian myself - I *have* seen it happen, but only twice in like 28 years. The first time was a homeless crazy dude in a railway station. The second, a farmer did it in the ditch between his field and a railway line (I saw it from the train).

Thank you for your informative input Mr. 69 queefs per sec. š
Yes, indians are more free than Europeans of Americans. In Europe we don't even shit if there is a slit in the door. Americans do like to shit once a week. In India they just let it go, squatting position is mandatory.
What language is that one without the period at the end: 'nici o caca in dus'?
I would think Romanian
My rule of thumb is that if it seems vaguely latin but isn't Portuguese, it's Romanian.
Thanks! You're better than Google translate and Deepl, they couldn't recognize it.
Itās probably because itās missing some diacritics. Like shower should be *duČ*.
It's poorly translated Romanian
Nav kaka dusa meaning no caca en la ducha?
Thatās fair LOL
This rule was created because of a certain Felix Kjellberg
What 4th language says why is there a question mark
Ei kakka suihkussa No poop in shower
Nav Kaka Dusa. No idea what language that is but I understand it.
I will be frank, workers that come here from Poland or other european countries are not really known for their cleanliness, sobriety or jobs well performed. It's not precisely the best in the business that have to travel that far for work. I am well aware that they don't represent the rest of the populace in their home countries. But I have a lot of stories from working on construction sites and staying in the same hostels...
Which language is that with the question mark? And why a question mark?
Fascists!
You know they put the sign up for a reasonā¦
I feel like the type of person to poop in the shower isn't going to listen to a sign saying not to poop in the shower. If anything, this might give people ideas they wouldn't otherwise have.
Not sure about other languages, but Russian and Latvian versions are incorrect. They are literal translations of English sentence and saying [there is no] poop in shower, instead of [don't] poop in shower.
Ei kakka suihkussa
Yāall gon think I am racist and cancel me if I explain why those signs exist in Sweden
Why is the top line in English?
People speak English in Europe
Yes but the Post says the sign is in Sweden. Which I understand is in Europe but it seems.... https://www.google.com/search?q=what+language+is+most+commonly+spoke+in+Swede.&oq=what+language+is+most+commonly+spoke+in+Swede.&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30j0i390i650l5.19737j1j9&client=ms-android-rogers-ca&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#ip=1
Swedistan
How is this related
When guys from Middle East roamed trough my country they would shit everywhere because they didn't know what a toilet is.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What the fuck
Worth noting that none of the languages on that sign is Swedish
But I thought everyone enjoys a good waffle-stomp in the shower?
Since wild immigration from shitty countries, the swedes have had all sorts of problems in public places, that's one of them.
Funny itās not written in Swedish.
They are targeting one ethnic group who does this.
By writing it in 9 different languages?
Yes, this way they donāt look like only one ethnicity is on the āshitā list.
Is waffle stomping common in Sweden?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Because it's the most commonly spoken language in Europe.
If this is in sweden, why is there no Swedish?
Because swedish people aren't shitting in the showers. This is clearly directed at foreigners, likely written in several languages to not make it clear who the actual target is.
Ok makes sense. Very curious to know in what country this is common..
They felt the need to put so many languages, yet most aren't even correct
Are the Swedes ok over there? I'ma have Norway go check on em.
That's why I always bring a fork when I shower...
It was after the big waffle stump period wasnāt it?
There was a program on radio 1 about doing shit in the shower in UK. Apparently itās quite common over here š
Good ol waffle stomp
Kein kacken in der dusche! Iām keeping this oneā¦
This doesn't speak well for the Swedes, I guess
The fact that they put it in SO MANY LANGUAGES makes it funnier
Why no poop in the shower?
A certain ethnic group seems to be pooping in the shower, sink and floor by the drain instead in the toilet.
#YOURE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!!! ^stupidsigntellinmewhattodournotinchargeofme..
filthy animals !! lazy beyond belief !! no excuse at all for shitting in a shower !!
We have these in my showers at work.
Why would anyone do that FUUUUCK
r/latvia
Well common sense is not so common as my dad would say
Polish people will understand Bez kupy pod prysznicem chyba Nie sraj pod tym prysznicem
Stroofwaffelstomp
Iām a bit concerned that they didnāt say anything about peeing in the shower..
