When I was in nursing, we were taught to call them briefs. Calling them diapers is degrading to the elderly and adults who need them.

[@1vbAPiYk]

it's not degrading, you are just incorrectly using the term "briefs" and ruining the language

[@TheAtomoh]

Japanese doesn't work like english

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@1vbAPiYkhave you ever worked and taken care of seniors? If not, then you will never understand. Just wait for you to become a senior and one of the staff will tell you to wear a diaper.

[@Dhruv-Kumar]

But briefs sound so weird. Diapers is best. Diapers is not degrading. Or maybr call whispers.

[@Professor91811]

It's impossible to think that there are more adults in a country than kids. Atleast they got rich before they got old

[@reginabillotti]

There are more adults than kids in most every country, even ones with above-replacement birth rates.

[@1vbAPiYk]

Literally i every country on earth there are mote adults than kids

[@windysquall5405]

stupidity

[@CuongHoang-iu5sg]

do you mean to say more old people than working laborers, since every nation has more adults than kids

[@Dhruv-Kumar]

You probably live in Dharavi slum

[@wrblue08]

In a way, if Japan could innovate its diaper and other tech for the ageing it could reboot its manufacturing to the massive growth it saw in the 80s. After all, it has the biggest market in the world to test these products.

[@dannybrezelhorner2715]

It's almost like if you work your people so much they can't live their own lives they don't have enough time to raise kids or something

[@BornToTroll-it5ju]

Bulgaria - 22.5% decline Lithuania - 22.1% decline Latvia - 21.6% decline Ukraine - 19.5% decline Serbia - 18.9% decline Bosnia and Herzegovina - 18.2% decline Croatia - 18.0% decline Moldova - 16.7% decline "Japan - 16.3% decline" it only takes 1 sec to google

Something wrong in Japan middle to high school education, and more mistakes on their living influence

[@TheDevouredEagle]

Wow, is it really that bad in Nipponlandia that they even have to partially stop baby diapers production to senior adults diapers? 😳 I knew birth rates were bad but not that bad

[@nguyenlamanh2919]

Japan has a first start in the race but South Korea and China are catching up fast. It will be even worse for them as their birth rate is even lower, especially South Korea.

[@1vbAPiYk]

Its coming to every country where women have access to education and labor. You can have babies or liberated women. Not both

[@Dhruv-Kumar]

That's why our manu says women should always be with her husband or father or brother and no woman is allowed to roam outside alone.

profit for about 10 more years maybe, after that there won't be as much old people as of now

[@user-ij4hb3dz2h]

10 more years, the younger ones below them will be old as well.

[@CuongHoang-iu5sg]

@@user-ij4hb3dz2h Japan's population is shrinking, so there will be less old people in the upcoming years.

someday when you grow older you will become a baby again but I think every person don't want that happen.
