YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Comes up to the country.
In Germany if you think you have something serious CALL 112 and ask for an ambulance ASAP you will be put in the next hospital with space put instantly in and get care ASAP
While going on feet / yourself to emergency care can take literarily hours.
And it will either be free or cost almost nothing.
Why it's important to know? There was a question from American student in Germany on r/germany. They had an abdomen pain and roommate called an ambulance without asking. Student was terrified as they thought it won't be able to pay the bill afterwards. American health system sucks :(
ye it will cost you in worst case 40 euro for the ambulance and 10 € per day for max 24 days per year if you need to stay in hospital. thats it.
10€ per day for a hospital stay just absolutely blows my mind. A quick google says the average cost in the U.S. is around $2800 per day. So 28,000% higher. This is why two thirds of bankruptcies in the US are from medical debt. U.S. #1!
And you know what 10 per day is any station doesn't matter if normal ems or intensive care, surgery's or whatever and for max 24 days per year. I just was at the hospital with my mother she had a grade 1 burn that was close to 2 and no doctors had open so yeah she didn't pay a cent and got enough stuff for the weekend to go on Monday to a normal doctor.
