This is the Ententanz (Duck Song, also know as the Chicken Dance) and they want us to believe that it is the most successful Swiss song ever. Would "Switzerland", a country that gave the world Dadaism, Paul Klee, Alberto Giacometti and some of Europe’s most influential modern art, end up producing its biggest international musical hit in the form of the "Chicken Dance", a relentlessly kitschy tune originally written by a accordionist as a little après-ski interlude on flapping your arms like a bird? And the second most successful song is what? A song about a Chihuahua by DJ BoBo? He isn't even a DJ! "Oh Yeah" by Yellow isn't quite as annoying and not based on some small animal, but just as quirky. Can you name a single famous Swiss song that actually sounds like normal music? Everything is just some gimmicky novelty song. There is no Swiss music. Don't believe the Swiss Lie! Switzerland is fake! Protect your children from this propaganda. Anything but the fake Swiss music. Put on some Slayer. Children love dancing to Slayer.

>Despite being the most popular song that Switzerland has ever produced and exported to 40 countries, in 2000, the BBC crowned Thomas' song as "voted the most annoying song of all time", ahead of The Teletubbies' "Teletubbies say "Eh-oh!"" and Aqua's "Barbie Girl."

It is suddenly so buggy. I deleted all the cache and data. I constantly have to stop and restart the app just to watch a video. It doesn't even allow me to cancel membership inside the app. I had to find how to do it in Google play, so I cancelled there. I had it for years but I won't pay for something that doesn't work. Another annoying bug is that it pauses when I put away the buds but when I turn on the phone later, it just starts playing again. I almost always have sound off when I don't have the buds in my ears so I don't even notice. I didn't do that before recently. It was actually quite stable but now it's unusable.

I have the Samsung S24+ with Android 16 and One UI 8.5.

I usually just click the icon to see if backups exist:

What I see when I click the system tray icon

"Das Backup wurde erfolgreich erstellt" = "The backup was created successfully"
It always shows day - month - year.

Today I actually opened up Acronis and saw that there was a red dot with a cross indicating that the last backup failed. There was also a message saying it failed. When I look ad the recent activity I see no errors just that the last success was in April.

The last entry in \"activity\" is from April.

It did not create any backups since April and did not inform me!

WHAT THE FUCK???

So I started it manually and now it's creating that backup. There was no actual issue. I don't see any reason why if didn't actually do the backups for three months. The only difference is that this was started manually. It's pure luck that I noticed this. Why would it report success when there is no backup?

I checked my NAS where the backup is stored and I saw that no files were created or modified since April. Now it is creating a backup so the files are modified.

What is going on here? Why would it show it as a success when there was no backup?

It's not possible that I'm confused with multiple backups. This is the only backup plan I have on this device. It's the PC that I have since 2024.

And it seems that in June it only tried once even though it should try every week. The important data is backed up in the cloud, but this is the backup of the system, but this is scary. Shouldn't it report such issues clearly?

I made a game and it's simple: Guess if the quote is from the Bible or Metal lyrics. How many points can you score?

I actually made this 7 years ago but decided to upgrade everything to make sure it works will all modern browsers. No ads, no AI, no cookies, no spam, no data collection, no eternal torment.

Pearl Harbor aerial photo

On Juli 9th 2026 in the early morning the Islamic Republic of Japan launched a surprise military strike on the United States Pacific Fleet at its naval base at Pearl Harbor on Oahu, Hawaii Territory.
President Donald Trump declared war on Japan immediately after the attack.

This is the second time Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese military. In 1941 the US was a neutral country in World War II. The attack led to the involvement and ultimate victory of the USA over the the Axis forces.

After WWII, Japan adopted a constitution that renounces war as a means of settling international disputes. But the takeover by Islamic leaders and the implementation of Sharia Law allowed them to attack it's former ally.

At this hour, the U.S. military and intelligence agencies are working to determine the full extent of the attack, secure its citizens, and protect the United States and its allies from any further threats.
The White House has released a statement saying the Department of War has activated emergency response measures.

In an emergency address from the White House, the President said U.S. military and intelligence agencies were assessing the full extent of the attack while American forces moved to protect the country and its allies.

"The United States did not seek this conflict," the President said, describing the attack as a serious breach of decades of cooperation between the two nations. The administration emphasized that the dispute was with the Japanese government and military leadership, not the Japanese people.

International leaders have begun responding to the crisis, with U.S. allies calling emergency meetings and urging restraint while awaiting further information.

Analysts warned that a conflict between the two countries would have enormous global consequences. The United States and Japan are among the world's largest economies, and a military confrontation could disrupt global trade, financial markets, and critical technology supply chains.

Despite the severity of the situation, the White House urged Americans to remain calm and rely on official information.

The coming days are expected to determine whether the crisis develops into a wider military conflict or whether diplomatic efforts can prevent further escalation.
