Good reasons for and against newspapers

Good reasons for and against newspapers

For 1. on Sunday mornings we prefer to bring the tray with coffee and croissant and paper to bed rather than the one with the apple on it. Anyway, what was the password for the e-paper app again? 2. it is unlikely that our eyes are rarely presented with a...

Good reasons for and against horror films

Good reasons for and against horror films

FOR 1. Nowhere does it feel more alive than in the face of death. 2. the horror film is the 100-minute license to snuggle up on your date's shoulder - thanks to the FSK age rating, even without permanently giggling, popcorn-nibbling minors all around. 3rd Hitchcock! Jack Nicholson's psycho grin...

Bialetti

Editors Choice – Bialetti

She's hotMarco Rüegg, Freelance Editor My first time, in a rustico in the Maggia Valley. You and me. A debacle, a mess, a battlefield. Logically, no one had ever talked to me about it before. How was I supposed to know how something like this works, how wonderful it can...

Good reasons for and against public transport

Good reasons for and against public transport

FOR 1. It is possible that the highway is sometimes quicker to get from A to B than changing trains seven times. But until all the one-way streets in B have been bypassed and a parking space has been cleared... 2 For a commute of 25 kilometers, buses and trains...

Good reasons for and against tattoos

FOR 1. those who actually regret getting a tattoo later form a mini-minority. As a rule, it merges with the body in our perception, becoming just as much a part of it as the nose or belly button. 2. the tradition. From bamboo tattoos in ancient Siam to the Maori...

Good reasons for and against the outdoor pool

Good reasons for and against the outdoor pool

FOR 1. freshly frothed cappuccino from the ice cream parlor beats the over-sugared convenience ice cream macchiato from the gas station store by far. 2. also from the gas station are the remnants of the binge drinking parties that adolescence organizes at night on public shores. Anyone who swims there...

Good reasons for and against camping

Good reasons for and against camping

FOR 1. neither forest kindergarten nor Steiner school (and certainly not the army) prepare children for the vagaries of life in the same comprehensive way as a family vacation at the campsite... 2....where the animation team's free babysitters keep mom and dad free for romantic togetherness. 3. snuggling up in...

Good reasons for and against the zoo

Good reasons for and against the zoo

FOR 1. The learning effect, which is definitely more effective with live cheetahs, gorillas and penguins than school television or "What is what" books. 2. zoologists say: species protection. Because humans destroyed their natural habitats, some animals only survived by being locked up. 3 Siberian winter weather, November rain -...

Good reasons for and against cats

Good reasons for and against cats

FOR 1. the house cat was just as sacred to the ancient Egyptians as brush master Salvador Dalí, Kurt Tucholsky wrote an ode to it, Frida Kahlo painted it in her self-portrait. Can all these fine minds be wrong? 2. the purring. Apart from the calming effect, the vibration activates...

Good reasons for and against working from home

Good reasons for and against working from home

FOR: 1st hoodie and trainers? Sure, it's a bit of a dirty job, Lagerfeld already preached that. But so comfortable that even Jesus would have worn the Hartz IV look in the home office. 2. singing along to the forgotten indie classics on Radio Paradise at the top of your...

Good reasons for and against cash

Good reasons for and against cash

FOR: 1. Barmaids, cab drivers and street acrobats, for whom (drinking) money in metallic form simply feels much more money. 2. Even if it's "only" baht: There's something about hoarding a bundle of thousands in your wallet while on vacation in Thailand that... 3. A Twint here, something ordered online there - who...

Good reasons for and against alcohol

Good reasons for and against alcohol

For 1. James Bond and Brigitte Bardot. 2 Yes, alcohol is evil. But a cold beer never hurts - nobody was sober at the hottest party of their lives. Diplomatico rum? A taste illumination of divine proportions, and anyway, even Jesus regularly tweeted one. Drinking is a tradition. Can what...

Good reasons for and against the record

Good reasons for and against the record

For: 1. Double-click? How soulless in comparison to putting on black gold, the sinking of the tone arm, the crackling and popping... Consciously listening to music in the era of sensory overload is a balm for permanently strained senses. 2. Neither shuffle mode nor repeat button. 3. Dead? Immortal! Vinyl is currently the only...

Good reasons for and against avocado

For: 1. 215 calories per 100 grams, vitamins A, B2, B6, E, potassium, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. What for? Never mind, the main thing is to be healthy... 2. The all-rounder tastes great as ice cream or with pasta, wrapped in sushi or burritos, flatters the skin as a face mask...

Good reasons for and against cycling

Good reasons for and against cycling

For: 1. The streets are full of metal, the bus is full of smartphone zombies, the streetcar crawls along like a giant worm on rails, parking spaces in the city center are rare and expensive as albatross... But you'll roll past the traffic jam at rush hour in a cool way,...

Good reasons for and against Ikea

Good reasons for and against Ikea

For: 1. a stool called Poäng? The two-seater sofa Knopprap? Vittsjö, our parlor table? Ikea product names are more entertaining than an entire season of "Big Bang Theory". 2. wine rack Vurm also proves its worth as a shoe rack. 3 . interpreting the cryptic building plans brings back memories...

Good reasons for and against Roger Federer

Good reasons for and against Roger Federer

For: 1. the numbers alone: Over 100 ATP titles, 20 Grand Slams, an oil drum full of shed tears of joy and enough records for a Guinness Book special edition. 2 And how he achieved it all! Federer moves around the court with such smooth elegance that we sometimes play...
