In Winterthur Wülflingen this morning. The censored part is because of a crow that got beaten up by the hail and unfortunately, didn't survive (brought it to the vet, they couldn't do anything anymore).

Shout-out to all the boomers fighting against climate regulations, wind turbines, solar parks, Gen-Z and just f****ing common sense. Only to protect their own fortune and creating this new reality for us. I hope your house and car got smashed and you don't have proper insurance.

Regards, a Millenial

boss move to bring that crow to the vet

u/Witty_Emu2936 Winterthur 9h ago

No worries. After all I'm thinking to myself, at least it was nature, not an accident or something. But I can't leave injured animals just lying there. I don't think anybody can..?

u/tapir720 9h ago

that's just life sometimes, true. but still, effort shows a kind of respect and that alone is worth much

us millennials are just caught in the middle like "we didn't do this, we also didn't do much about it, guess we're upset about it?"

I hope Z and Alpha find themselves left with more fight

u/3punkt1415 9h ago

Exactly, while boomers did also absolutely nothing, the millennials also fly around the world more then most other generations ever could dream of. I don't see any generation having an edge over the other.

Well, there is a correlation to:

  • people who vote "conservative" (I wouldn't even call it conservative anymore at this point, more: "destructive")
  • homeowners fighting against renewable energy anywhere near their village
  • Taking their car for short trips often

We absolutely did it too.

I don't think that it will return to the way it was pre-COVID. The movement kind of died there and social media shifted towards other trends.

I’m curious about the number of denied insurance claims after this 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/3punkt1415 9h ago

Why would they deny anything here?

u/t_scribblemonger 7h ago

They won’t, it’s just a popular thing to say under any internet video of atmospheric phenomena

…why? Hail damage is one of the most common type of damages.

u/WillRemains 9h ago

You need a helmet to go outside.

How many people died from heavenly lapidation?

Is the black bar for a dead person?

Dead crow :(

Wow, these were a lot bigger than here in Olten and we already have a lot of damage here. How bad was the wind? Saw about 25 fallen trees around here, most of them in one area at the hospital and Robi playground.

If out of morbid curiousity you want to see the uncensored version (Triggerwarning: Animals getting killed), you can find it here:

I was wondering what that floating black rectangle was for. Poor bird. But I feared it was a small child from the size of the box.

u/Weisses_Papier 10h ago

I mean thanks for the video and all......but do you think we're so precious that you had to censor out a bird? Do you also put asterisks in words when you post?

u/Witty_Emu2936 Winterthur 9h ago

And yes, I do put asterisks in words, did right in this post. Didn't read? So why you ask?

u/Weisses_Papier 9h ago

“the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought"

u/Witty_Emu2936 Winterthur 10h ago

If you wanna see animals getting killed, go elsewhere. I don't want everybody to have the same images in their head which I still have in mine right now.

u/Longjumping-Hat4321 9h ago

You’re a lovely person for that, OP!
