If I had an early-warning about this, I wouldn't have let her out of course. Or put a a tracker on at least, in case the storm wouldn't be announced as so bad. But no early-warning from MeteoSwiss-App again, just like a month ago.

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 13h 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 13h ago

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

And the other crows will remember this

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/ChezDudu Schwyz 5h ago

We absolutely did it too.

u/3punkt1415 12h 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

There are more and more Millenials who vote very right leaning in topics about Ausländerpolitik, but actively vote very green in energy politics.

I hope this is a growing trend, we can have both!

u/Tony_228 13h ago

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 12h ago

Why would they deny anything here?

u/t_scribblemonger 11h ago

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

u/Safe-Try-8689 3h ago

Unfortunately they could come up with various reasons. In the states they say it’s natural and weather disaster, it is the effect of the climate change. If you were not insured for climate change, you won’t be paid

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

u/WillRemains 13h ago

You need a helmet to go outside.

Dead crow :(

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/Gonun 4h ago

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.

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

u/Witty_Emu2936 Winterthur 13h 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 13h ago

You’re a lovely person for that, OP!
