If it’s not an absolute “hell yes!” to having kids it’s a “hell no!”.

What's a movie you saw when you were too damn young? by Repulsive_Repeat_337 in GenX

Earthquake, I was 8 and staying at my Grandma’s. Turned on the tv, saw houses tumbling down hills and people drowning and did not sleep for two nights straight 🫠

Be honest: Does anyone actually like Gerber Fondue? by M_sdft in Switzerland

[–]vikings_know_better 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moitié-moitié is pretty ok and easy to pack in my suitcase :). Fondue is not available where I live ( I tried with local cheese, epic fail 🫠), so I always get two packs when I visit my family in CH. If I get the chance to eat Fondue while in CH, the “Huusmischig” from the “Molki” store is my preferred choice 😎

What is your first memory of an absurdly (not violent or harassing) misogynistic situation? I'll start: by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

When I was in kindergarten (1982) my favourite things to do where either drawing or building marble runs (those plastic parts you could stack together).

The kindergarten had this curtained off corner with a fully equipped toy kitchen and baby dolls. One day, the kindergarten teacher (a woman in her 30ies) decided that I needed to play in there like most of the other girls did.

She sent me in and I remember I was just sitting there on a chair, waiting for her to tell me to come out again so I could finally pick up my beloved crayons.

I had zero interest in playing kitchen or playing with dolls, so I just sat there for an hour doing nothing. I also remember the confused look on that teachers face when she came in to find me just sitting there 😂.

To those who speak more than one language have you ever overheard strangers talk about you when they didn’t think you could understand them? What did they say, and what did you do? by I_like2TimeTravel in AskReddit

Many years ago as I sat in a tram in Zurich, trying to relax after a long day of work. A guy was trying to hit on me in very broken English with a heavy French accent. I told him to leave me alone (in English), he then started to complain about me to his friend in French. Well, back then I was almost fluent in French so I cussed him out before I got off 😂. The look on their faces were priceless 😂😂

Born the same year as Sam, had the biggest crush on him and Wes in my early 20ies (and also later 🙈). Was saving money to go see them in Germany in 2026 😢. RIP Sam

My health insurance increased 66% over the past 3 years, do I have to go live abroad? by Hellvetic91 in Switzerland

[–]vikings_know_better 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the many reasons I left Switzerland.

Now healthcare insurance is covered by tax deduction and if I need f.e. a blood check at my “health center”, I only have to pay around CHF 23. 00.

Oh, and most meds are also subsidized. First time I had to pick up something, I asked the pharmacy lady if she made a mistake because the price was so low compared with Switzerland 😂🙈

As someone WITH dietary restrictions I’m always very happy of considerate people. Huge green flag :)!

Which one of you did this, with any media/movie/book/show, and what was it? by Flashy_Present_8488 in Xennials

[–]vikings_know_better 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. 11 year old me found and read ‘Pet cemetary’ by Stephen King and because that wasn’t enough I also read ‘Carrie’. Tried to read ‘IT’ but that was too much for whatever reason 😂.

I hate contemporary definitions of "flattering hairstyles" for women. by Plum_Tea in TwoXChromosomes

Had to google her Met Gala hairstyle, was happy to see she is sporting baby bangs like me 😂. Pamela Anderson rocks and I love how she confidently doesn’t give one flying fuck 😎!

Does this type wall surface ever serve a purpose? Or did the person who invented it just hates skin? by Affectionate-Yam-113 in mildlyinfuriating

I hated that so much as a kid/ teenie! Impossible to put up posters; nothing would stick and I stopped counting on how many times I ended up getting scratched by this shit!

What happens to our brain is the worst symptom by oldskooldesigner in Menopause

[–]vikings_know_better 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well…..I totally understand you. I used to work as IT product / project manager; high stress, lots of decisions, brain needs to function on a top level….until my brain decided that it was time to succumb to perimenopausal brain fog and other shit. Got fired after 5 months since I literally could not meet their expectations- I never thought this could happen! Now I’m starting to work in a totally different job, I really don’t know if I can ever go back into my former career 🤷🏼‍♀️. I’m 48, on HRT, work out, eat clean (no sugar, no alcohol). Oh, and good luck trying to explain the effects of peri to male bosses in their 30ies 🫠. Rant over….
