It's really sad to see that evidently more than half of the german population have an opinion on something which they have little to no understanding of. It's frustrating what misinformation can achieve.

Nuclear power might work for some nations, but there is just no way it makes sense in germany. All previous plants are in dire need of renovation and will be hugely expensive to bring back up and running, and a new one is just as overly optimistic, as major construction projects routinely go far over budget here, and nuclear energy is already not price competitive with renewables. Nobody wants waste storage, let alone a power plant near them, and it would take years until a plant is even producing energy. By that time, it might already be redundant, because renewables and energy storage will be cheaper and more ubiquitous. there is just no way nuclear power makes sense for germany.

Ich wär dafür, dass wir Habeck fest anstellen als Begleitung für Maggus Söder, einfach um ihn immer direkt dabei zu haben, falls Söder Quatsch erzählt und das entkräftet werden muss.

You'd think that if you had to jump through that many hoops to invite someone to your country, mayyyybe a few alarm bells should ring in your head. But no, Merz is an expert at mental gymnastics and will gladly invite a war criminal before he considers rethinking his position.

Fair, Straßendesign spielt auch eine wichtige Rolle und ein 30-Schild alleine kann nicht alles richten, da bräuchte es auf jeden fall zusätzliche Maßnahmen. Trotzdem find ichs bisschen bedenklich wenn man sagt dass man die 30 "kaum einhalten" kann.

Die 30 kann man kaum einhalten. Ohne dass man das will, ist man schnell wieder auf 40

Bleifuß go brrrrrr

This hit a little too close to home

If the anti-nuclear movement will die out with boomers getting old, surely you can explain why in this statistic, younger people are actually preferring the nuclear phase-out whereas the older generations were largely opposing it?

All my gen z homies use renewables

Interesting, I didn't know many owls have still so little stuff known about them!

Treating owl of the year more as a beatuy contest is completely valid, and honestly, with all the amount of work you already put in (like finding and upscaling the images, and preparing this whole event and everything that comes with it!) it's more than fair to just keep it as is :) Your work is greatly appreciated and we're thankful for every minute you can spare on curating some owl content for all of us :)

What a great competition! And SWO as a deserved winner! I loved the whole tournament and wanted to thank you (as so many others have done) for organizing this, you've done a great job!

I wanted to include a tiny bit of feedback for maybe next year. I often found myself searching a bit of background info for owls I was less familiar with, because sometimes what makes an owl great is not just how it looks, but also the little fun facts that make it unique. I'd love if there was a short description with the pictures for every matchup, so that people can get a brief overview of the basics or unique qualities for each competitor. (This would also be great for newcomers to learn something) But this is just optional, I'll be watching out for owls and owloftheyear2025 regardless! :)
