It’s illegal in Switzerland to mow your lawn on Sundays
In Switzerland, you’re not allowed to mow your lawn, build anything, wash your car or hang clothes out to dry on Sundays. The Swiss believe Sunday is a day for rest and noisy and annoying household chores shouldn’t interfere with everyone’s relaxation.

The link that you provided does not tell this fact. It's also not a legitimate fact. Instead it's associated with no noise rule which does not specify lawn mowing.
The noise rules are everywhere. Can you use your mower at nights in your country, if it produces noise.
Anyways, your link doesn't specify that lawn mowing is illegal on Sundays in Switzerland.

Sorry about that, I messed up when I copied the link. The link I grabbed was the wrong one, it's the one marked in the picture. I clicked on it to check it out and then just copied it over.

I did some digging and this is the best I could find.

Obviously, the lawn rule only applies if it's noisy. If you can do it quietly, you should be fine, but don't be surprised if people give you weird looks!

A non-fact
Everything is an illusion. All that we perceive to be fact is simply a reflection that we perceive as truth, based on our own beliefs, shaped by "our own" experience. We are all one. Non of this is real. We never die. We have always been here and we will I've forever. Time is not real. I live in the 5 dimension. When we dream we go home. Sounds made up, right? 💚

Octopuses have three hearts and blue blood! Two hearts pump blood to the gills, while the third pumps it to the rest of the body. Their blood is blue because it uses copper-based hemocyanin to carry oxygen, which works better in cold, low-oxygen environments.

If the Internet were weighed, it would weigh about 2 ounces (50 grams). How does one measure the weight of the Internet? Physicist Russel Seitz measured the weight of multiple billions of electrons which make up the data that we send back and forth every day.

Per reviewed nonsense. My wife came from that world. There is nothing set in stone in science. When have humans ever gotten it right? It's always evolving. It's all paid for illusion. Truth is from within. And no one needs to know or consider how much the internet weighs. That's an absurd waste of energy and time.
