So you’re saying my Dr Robotnik Lawnmower is bad for hedgehogs? What about foxes, or echidnas?
They don’t roll themselves up into a compact ball and lay still when feeling threatened.
Hedgehogs do that.
I have already several times kicked hedgehogs across the lawn in the dark because of this behaviour (involuntarily of course)
Always have been. Let them mow during the day and keep some distances to hedges and its fine
Do they literally live in hedges?
Did you think they were called that because they were hedging the hog? No, they’re hogging the hedge.
I’m actually surprised the robot mowers dont just bump off them to be honest, my Husqvarna 450X is barely an inch off the ground and just bumps in to anything higher than that then spins around and goes in another direction
Shit I thought they spun a nylon wire. These things have a metal blade?
What do they do when a baby is laying in the grass in its path?
A baby is too large for a robot mower to get on top of. And they have bump sensors. I guess it’s only an issues with hedgehogs trying to literally lay low, somehow getting under it.
No, they have spines, which are hollow hairs made stiff with keratin. They are omnivorous, they feed on insects, snails, frogs etc. but a baby is too big for them.
Because robot mowers are relatively quiet, they are the only type of lawn mower to be allowed to operate at night or on Sundays in Germany. Their use has greatly increased over the past few years.
Its amazing to me how Christian the laws are in Germany still
Having a collective day for rest? I find it very worker friendly. I find it fascinating we are able to agree we rest on the same day and we do not bother each other with noise.
*unless you’re working for public infrastructure, service industry, cultural industry, energy production, some parts of transportation or some parts of manufacturing where you can’t shut down a plant for a single day.
There are so many exceptions to that law I’m really wondering how much difference it would really make it supermarkets and regular shift works would also continue on the weekends - just with the standard 5 days workweek still applying and having to pay a bit bonus for working on Sundays, the same way the other jobs are also getting paid more for Sunday work
Although I would vote for 3 days off work and 2 days with illegal mowing.
We don’t agree. My people rest on Saturday.
This law means I can’t ever fucking do construction on my house over the weekend. It’s a problem.
