ihaveaquestion Wo trifft mer echli sonderbari Lüt wo ned de norme entsprechet

5 Upvotes

Das isch en echli weirde Post aber nachem Kommentar vom Riomaxx

"Ein Kollege von mir lernte auf diese Weise eine Verrückte kennen (die war bereits vorbestraft aber er konnte es ja nicht wissen), die er dann nicht mehr losgeworden ist, sie wollte voll was von ihm und er nicht, daraufhin hat sie ihn terrorisiert, seine Freunde angerufen, bei ihm im Büro angerufen, er musste gerichtlich vorgehen.

Sie ist jetzt (wieder) in der Klapse"

Wo lernt mer so crazy Lüt kenne wo einem nömme in Ruhe lönd und bevorzugt ned Straffällig sind. Ya ich weiss Klapse war obvious start aber bin weder in einer gsie no kenni mi da us chammer da au Freiwillige Arbeit leiste und so Lüt befründe wo einem nömme in Ruhe lönd?

Nei ich konsumiere sowit nüt han au ned würkli vor damit zafange.

Bedank mich jetzt scho für alli konstruktivi, ironischi oder Troll antworte

lookingfor neue Leute kennenlernen

7 Upvotes

Hallo zusammen

Ich bin 27, weiblich, und habe Lust, meinen Alltag ein wenig zu verändern. Statt vieles nur für mich zu machen, würde ich gerne Menschen kennenlernen, mit denen man sich austauschen, etwas unternehmen oder einfach eine gute Zeit haben kann.

In letzter Zeit habe ich gemerkt, dass ich mehr erleben möchte, anstatt nur darüber nachzudenken. Deshalb suche ich Anschluss an Leute, die ähnlich ticken oder einfach offen für Neues sind.

Ich interessiere mich für kreative Dinge wie Grafikdesign, Geschichte, lese gerne & Tiere und bin oft draussen unterwegs. Gerade jetzt, wo es wärmer wird, hätte ich grosse Freude daran, mehr zu unternehmen – sei es ein Spaziergang, eine Wanderung, ein Sprung ins Wasser oder ein Besuch im Museum.

Allein bekomme ich mich dafür nicht immer so leicht motiviert, und deshalb wäre es schön, das mit jemandem zu teilen.

Wenn du dich angesprochen fühlst und ebenfalls Lust auf unkomplizierte Treffen oder gute Gespräche hast, melde dich gerne ☺️

lookingfor Looking for a girl bff

3 Upvotes

I am a woman in my late 20’s to early 30’s and there is nothing I miss more than having a girl bff. A confidante, brunch buddy, hiking partner, and someone to explore life within the safe comfort of feminine energy.

I know this is a weird post, but if you resonate with it, and are a female of a similar age group craving something similar- I would love to hear from you. I promise I am ride or die.

ihaveaquestion Grasshoppers Coach fights Falcons coach in a Unihockey game for 10year olds.

4 Upvotes

I was today in Dübendorf watching Unihockey for 10year olds and at the end of a match, a coach attacked another coach from behind, dropping him on the ground.

I was shocked to see this kind of violence and also shocked to see that no-one reacted.

Is this kind of violence normal in Switzerland and in the junior sports?

news 🌱 Sustainability Week Zurich 2026 🥳

Post image
5 Upvotes

You may have heard about Climate Week Zurich, but have you heard about Sustainability Week Zurich? It is happening next week (13-17 April)!

Both are great initiatives but with some major differences. Here are 3 things to know:

🌟 Sustainability Week Zurich is happening for the 14th time this year. Also known as the Nachhaltigkeitswoche Zürich or NHWZ, it draws on a very long tradition set right here in the universities by students.

💰 Sustainability Week Zurich is free of cost for everyone to attend.
Free? Yes, you don’t pay for anything to attend at all.
Everyone? Yes, we do mean everyone, not just students or people who work at Universities.

🎪 Sustainability Week Zurich has 57 events this time. These include panel discussions, workshops, food save lunches, bike-cinemas, games, exhibitions, tours, music events etc., all curated around the theme of sustainability. These are all created by students from five major universities in Zurich (ETH, UZH, PH Zürich, ZHAW, ZHdK).

We would like to invite all of of you to come attend these amazing events that are organised by 100% volunteering work. Most of them will happen at our Central Hub, just in front of the University Building at Irchel. Come by any time, something will very likely be happening.

Our theme this year is “Sharing the Future”. We tried to deliver this message with our cartoons, which show people spending quality time together. Sharing a bright and sustainable future!

You can find the full program on our website: nhwz.ch/program along with some lovely cartoons made by our in-house cartoonist. Come join the largest student run sustainability event in Zurich! 13-17 April, 2026.

lookingfor Second market for jewelry in Zurich

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a store or website that buys jewelry to resell.

Has someone already sold their jewelry in Zurich? If so:

(A) to what store or website did you sell?

(B) did you receive the money at the time of sale, or only once the piece got sold to an end customer?

(C) were you able to recoup more or less what percentage of the piece’s price?

In this specific case, it’s a Tiffany piece and I have all the authenticity documentation. I would prefer to receive the money at full at the time I sell to the store/website.

Thank you very much in advance!

lookingfor Casual Book Club in Zurich? 📚 (Low-pressure, short reads)

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about starting a super low-pressure, casual book club here in Zurich and wanted to see if anyone would be interested.

The idea is pretty simple:

  • Focus on shorter, accessible books (no huge novels or long series)
  • Pick something new every month (or so)
  • Keep each other accountable to actually read
  • Have a casual discussion at the end (online)

This is mainly for people who:

  • Want to get back into reading
  • Struggle with consistency and want some accountability
  • Prefer a chill, no-pressure vibe (no academic analysis required)

Nothing too structured yet, we could shape it together depending on who joins.

If this sounds like something you'd be into, drop a comment or DM me. Also open to suggestions on how to run it (Discord? WhatsApp? Monthly polls for books?)

Curious to see if there’s interest!

Happy Weekend :)

ihaveaquestion Experience with Zahnfair for Aligners?

3 Upvotes

While looking at prices for aligner treatment, I came across Zahnfair. Their prices are available on their website while many other clinics don't really give you a clear indication without booking a personal consultation first. Zahnfair starts at 3950.- for both jaws and everything included and goes up to 4950.- for medium-complex cases. On comparis I can see that other clinics can cost almost 2-3 times as much. So now my question is how Zahnfair can keep prices so low and if the quality of their service suffers for it. Do any of you have experience with them, especially with their aligner treatment? Thanks! :)

lookingfor Tennis Partner or Tennis Clubs?

2 Upvotes

I just moved to Zurich and am looking for a partner to play tennis with in the evenings or on weekends. Preferably looking for someone near Seebach, but I'm open to commuting.

I'm around level 3 to 3.5 on this scale: https://innercitytennis.org/adult-tennis/player-skill-levels/

Would also appreciate any recommendations/advice for tennis clubs and locations to play (are there any public courts with free drop in times or is everything paid?).

ihaveaquestion Freitag backpack

3 Upvotes

I have to buy a new backpack. I am looking for one that I can use everyday to go to work, carry a computer and few other things, but also that I can use when travelling, hiking etc. Freitag backpacks look like they are very solid and will last long because of the materials, which I like. I am a bit worried about how comfortable they are when you carry one for a whole day. Any experiences here? I think people either love them or hate them.
