European decency threshold

Hey there kiddo! Let's talk about the European decency threshold.

When we talk about decency, we mean things that are appropriate or acceptable to do or say in public. In Europe, there are certain things that are considered indecent or inappropriate, and this is known as the European decency threshold.

For example, in Europe it's generally considered indecent to walk around in public wearing just underwear or a bikini. It's also considered indecent to use strong language or swear in front of other people who might find it offensive.

Another example is that in some European countries, it's considered indecent to talk too loudly or be too expressive in public. People often keep their voices low and try not to draw too much attention to themselves.

This threshold is something that people in Europe have agreed upon over time, and it helps to make sure that everyone is comfortable and respectful towards each other in public places.

So, the European decency threshold is a set of social norms and customs that dictate what is considered appropriate or inappropriate behavior in public in Europe. It's important to follow these rules to show respect and consideration towards others.
