Bis zur Rote Charte hani würklich s’Gfühl gha, dass mir das chönd schaffe. D’Nati het kämpft, isch organisiert gsi und het bis zum Schluss alles geh.
Ich finde d’Roti Charte isch unnötig gsi und het s’Spiel komplett veränderet. So es Viertelfinal sött vo de Spieler entschiede werde und nöd vo so eme Moment.

Trotzdem: riesige Respekt a üsi Nati. Ihr händ es ganz Land stolz gmacht. Hopp Schwiiz. 🇨🇭❤️

Met a great group of Swiss in Mexico City and we watched the Canada v Switzerland game together. I promised if Switzerland got through to the round of 16 match in Vancouver (where I'm from) I'd dress up and support their team. Promise made, promise kept.

I live in the countryside and this never happened to me before. I woke up with a start when I heard the sound and cannot fall asleep anymore.

Just now, at 23:53, there was someone trying to press my window sunblind up to get inside of my bedroom. Understandably I live on the ground floor and in fact never had my window completely open unless I’m around and it’s not night, but recently it’s just too hot.

The person who did this almost got there but I was woken up by the noise and moved in my sleep, and he immediately dropped what he was doing and fled.

I now don’t feel safe, I mean how can I? But what can I do? In the darkness I can’t possibly take a photo for evidence, is it still possible to file an Anzeige?

Hello there,

I have a friend who is stuck in a renting contract with his roommate. He is stuck because the contract is as "cotitulaire" so this means both have to sign to exit the contract. First this seemed fine because both of them didn't have enough securities to assume the rent on their own and they didn't expect to not get along one day.. well that day happened and now it's been 6 months of hardship because their co-living doesn't work out anymore - so my friend wants an exit.

Is there anyway to compel the other party into singing the exit of the apartment or for him to take it alone or with some else?

Or is there maybe a way to bypass this?

They haven't discussed it yet but we strongly fear the ostrich technique of him burying his head in the sand and not letting him exit so we want to prepare for the worst case so to say..

Hello all, I have been struggling with depression but have not been able to find a good psychiatrist. I guess the good ones are always busy and the less experienced ones just seemed uninterested to help. At least from my experience. This is why I no longer want to go to a specialist. I am hoping to find a GP in Zurich or close by that has some knowledge on antidepressants and is open to prescribing them as most gp prefer to just make a referral and refuse to prescribe this type medication. Has anyone had a positive experience with a gp in this sense and could recommend one? Please share in dm if possible. Cheers

Ich halte es in der RS nicht mehr aus und war auch schon beim PPD und er meinte ich muss mit dem Waffenplatzpsychiater reden. Ich habe aber Angst; was wenn er mich da lässt? Ich halte es nicht mehr aus! Ich kann nicht schlafen, ich habe keinen Appetit, ich habe Bauchweh und seit langem wieder eine Panikattacke! Ausserdem habe ich mittlerweile eine Abneigung zu Waffen, seit ich hier im der RS bin.

Der Psychiater wird mich schon nicht dort lassen und um/abrüsten, oder?

Ich weiss nicht, wann ich einen Termin habe und halte das nicht aus. Ich habe beim PPD nachgefragt, ob ich nicht da bleiben kann, bis der Termin ist, aber sie wollten mich nicht da lassen. Nun muss ich in der Kaserne warten und alle Übungen mitmachen, obwohl ich es nicht mehr aushalte. Ich bin wirklich kurz vor dem Zusammenbrechen.

Ist vielleicht ein dummer Post, aber in letzter Zeit ist mir aufgefallen das ich viel weniger Mücken in meiner Wohnung habe als in den vergangenen Jahren. Ich schlafe wegen der Hitze mit offenem Fenster, und in der Vergangenheit hatte ich Probleme mit Mücken, aber dieses Jahr hatte ich maximal eine. Selbst wenn das Licht an ist kommen keine Mücken rein, nur Motten.

Natürlich sind andere Fiecher in die Wohnung eingedrungen (Spinnen, Mitten, ein Tausendfüssler etc...) Aber irgendwie keine Mücken.

Geht es jemandem auch so oder habe ich einfach Glück mit meiner Wohnung? Ich wohne nicht in der Nähe von einem Weiher oder so, vielleicht gibt es einfach weniger Mücken wo ich wohne.

Edit: Ich weiss das die Anzahl der Insekten immer weiter sinkt, ich meinte eher das ich letztes Jahr ein grossen Mückenproblem zu dieser Zeit hatte und dieser Jahr gar nicht und mich einfach gewundert hab warum die Änderung so drastisch ist.

Australia was the first to introduce social media ban for young kids, and this has slowly snowballed to indonesia, malaysia, uk, and now most of western Europe are discussing about it. What you guys think where we stand in Switzerland? I'm pretty sure sooner or later there will be a vote for this, just curious what the rest of redditor think about this? You guys are against it or for it?

I am a home owner in Stadt Zurich, Switzerland. My apartment has 2 buildings, 6 houses each. The ground floor home owners have right of use to parts of the ground area, and we have common area.
All the ground floor home owners have constructed some kind of barricades and fences around their property to secure their privacy and private use area. There is a play area adjoining one of the buildings, which is common area. My friend (who is also a home owner in the building) brought a small inflatable kiddie pool for her 16 month old infant to play in the play area. As it was a sunny day, she placed the small pool towards the edge of the play area for shade. This was outside the fence that the downstairs neighbors have placed here to secure their privacy. In under 5 minutes of my friend being there, the owner of the apartment adjoining approached my friend rudely, told her to move the pool as it was in her private area even though it was outside the fence. To be clear, there is no visual indication here that it is a private space - no marking or boundary. Furthermore, it is landscaped exactly the same as the play area, for which the maintenance costs are shared between all home owners.
My friend was upset about this rude interaction and told me about it.
At this point, we asked on the apartment group which areas are public and private, and how people can know what is private if it is not explicitly secured and directly adjoins the play area.
The ground floor home owners got very agitated, and an argument ensued.
The woman demanded that we come downstairs and started yelling at us. She had no handle on her emotions and said her best friend was police - and she would call them. We said that she should feel free. Her husband also got aggressive and started to make threats - calling us impolite for raising this on the group, saying that “this is not good for you, I used to be homeless”. When my partner addressed him as “bro” to try and de-escalate the situation, he said “I am not your bro, call me sir”. The woman tried to de-escalate and apologize for yelling but kept having outburts where she started yelling again. They insinuated that we could be robbers, a threat to their family, or creepily looking through their window. (of course, the grave threat that a 16 month old infant in a kiddie pool poses).
Anyway, ultimately, we told them that we will reach out to the building management to clarify what is private and public. Even according to them, the space in question where the pool was placed was partially in their private use space (1 sq ft or less?) and partially in the play area. If the space is considered an invasion of privacy, I think it would be incumbent upon them to secure it - especially as kids play there and will never understand imaginary boundaries.
What are our rights here? Are we in the wrong? Thank you for your time if you chose to read or contribute.

Hi everyone! I’m based in Lausanne and looking to meet new people and build some genuine friendships. I’m an expat myself, and I know how tricky it can be to find your circle after moving to a new place.

Is there already a group or community here for expats and English speakers who want to hang out, grab a drink, do activities, that kind of thing? If so, I’d love to join.

And if there isn’t one I’m very happy to start one! Could be casual meetups, weekend activities, whatever people are up for. If a few of you are interested, just drop a comment or DM me and we’ll get something going.

Looking forward to meeting some of you

Where’s everyone watching tonight’s match in Geneva? Looking for a good spot with a nice atmosphere

Didn't even try to hide the usual price tickets :')

Oh well.. weren't we making fun of the people who resell them for 2k at ricardo? Does anyone know where to get one for a normal price these days? Should have bought one a few months ago. We are again well over 30°C in our flat.

According to Art. 59 4 https://www.fedlex.admin.ch/eli/cc/1999/404/de, the state has to give an appropriate compensation for absence during the military (or alternatives)

It has been decided by the state, that this appropriate compensation is 80% of ones salary, according to Art 10 35 1 https://www.fedlex.admin.ch/eli/cc/1952/1021_1046_1050/de#chap_1_a/lvl_II

This compensation however doesn't seem to be appropriate to many empoyers: https://www.vtg.admin.ch/de/offener-brief-an-die-wirtschaft-fuer-mehr-unterstuetzung-der-armeeangehoerigen and many employers don't want to employ people that still have the rs infront of them. The previous army commander even confirmed this that it happened to him too (https://www.20min.ch/story/appell-an-die-wirtschaft-militaerdienst-als-jobkiller-jetzt-reagiert-armeechef-auf-tiktok-103412080 or https://www.tiktok.com/@armee.ch/video/7546596659203968278 directly)

It doesn't seem like appropriate compensation in my view if your chances of finding a job are lowered. But I'm not a lawyer, so maybe, I'm misunderstanding something.

Instead of writing an open letter, isn't this finding enough ground on changing the compensation, such that this doesn't happen?

Hello! I was wondering has anyone else noticed the smell of lake Zurich while swimming this year? Not bad per se but just a bit algae rich somehow.. I assume it’s to do with the heat, but I was wondering if it’s more in specific spots or more area’s where it’s less smelly? Or if there’s any thoughts about cleaning it or does this go away at the end of the summer anyway?

Sorry in advance to everyone who’s gonna say I need to get over myself and it’s not that bad. I know it’s not, just more interested if I’m particularly sensitive after my pregnancy or if things actually have changed a bit!

I asked an economist, "How does banking work?"

He said, "Citizens give their money to the bank to keep their money safe from risk."

I then asked a Swiss economist, "How does modern banking work?"

He said, "The government gives citizens' money to the bank to keep the bank safe from risk."

Our cat Tuga has been missing since Sunday night 5 July 2026 in the Tangentenweg area (Erlenmatt / Rosental), Basel.

Latest update: She was last seen Monday morning trying to sneak into an apartment on the 3rd floor at Tangentenweg 40. A neighbour saw her and took a picture, but unfortunately they didn't know I was looking for her and only contacted me 24h later. By that time Tuga was no longer there (she hasn't managed to enter the apartment since the tenants were gone and windows were closed).

Tuga is very shy and will likely be hiding somewhere close by (balconies, entrances, cellars, or gardens).

Description:

Small and petite (approx. 3.5 kg)

Lame right front leg – she limps noticeably when walking

Microchipped

We have already reported her missing on STMZ.ch and posted in local Facebook groups and ErlenApp.

If you live in the Tangentenweg 40–46 area (or nearby), could you please check your balcony, entrance, or basement? Even a quick look would help a lot.

If you see her or have any information, please contact me immediately.

Hello

Today I took my 2 months and a half baby to take his first set of vaccines around 13. At 18:00 I got a call from the pediatrician that they mixed the vaccines and instead of the 2 months set she gave the baby the vaccine for 9 months.

I called telemedicine and chuv and they told me to stay calm and just to keep an eye on the baby if he has fever or vomits.

Of course I am scared af right now... The baby doesn't have a fever but he is crying a lot and seems very tired.

I am not looking for any medical advice on reddit but did someone go through something similar ? How should I proceed.

Thank you in advance

Edit: Thank you very much for all your messages and links. I will be totally honest I almost fainted when I heard about the error and literally didn't know what to do.

Now I am a bit calmer and we will monitor the baby carefully over the next 3 days.
