Every country stressing about homeless people, meanwhile Poland with double side benches:

I once laid down on a bench in Poland (Toruń, back ache, waiting for the Ibuprofen to kick in) – and in less than 10 minutes, I had a police car next to me asking what I was doing there...

Probably checking whether you're drunk, dead or just homeless. Either way, I'd say it's not surprising behaviour from our Police.

At least they check up on you, depending on the weather that can genuinely be life saving (not defending polish police at all, but like in Japan theyd just let you die to not cause trouble)

Japan likes their high percentage of solved cases so they would take note of you first so they could solve the cause of the death as soon as the body got cold.

cop just standing there with the thermometer as you pass away so the paperwork will be less of an issue

obv joking but I worked there and if you ever take the train home after a night out, you see so many, as we say in German "liquor corpses" and no one gives a shit, you could be projectile vomiting and no one will bat an eye or offer any help, its fascinating

For (non-German) people who want another quirky German word in their vocabulary besides Schadenfreude, Kummerspeck and Fernweh: a "liquor corpse" is Schnapsleiche.

What about placing water bottles next to them? Is it a real thing?

[u/h0rny3dging → u/fineri]

It does happen but I cant say Ive seen that happen irl

In Japan you'd let yourself die to not cause trouble.
