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!

So what now? Congratulations! You only had 2 zappers and my comment had 9 zappers with 1k+ zaps, even then I lost. This top rank decider is out of my understanding.

I have a hunch about what happened. But I can't say for sure, so I'll keep it to myself. It's definitely something to think about, though.

That is similar to a rule that stores are closed on Sundays. Idiotic. Free country, free market, let people live and stop coming up with ways to regulate their lives.

I’m still very confused by this text overlay. This is the moment that Darth Vader is arresting Princess Leia for stealing the Death Star plans. I agree with the sentiment, but the text bubbles should be swapped.

That's the whole point of the irony. LOL people do not get the Darth's irony, neither understand the role of Darth in the whole Star Wars universe. Guys, please re-watch the whole story of Star Wars, but following the Darth's narrative. You are missing the whole point of the whole saga!

Yeah! But in Switzerland, people are all about following the rules and backing up their government. You know about those town hall meetings where they vote on stuff? It's all about the people's power! I've got a friend who got in trouble with the law for moving their couch on a Sunday. Insane!
