It's just as free, and takes like 30 seconds to switch.

🏔we were pretty sure that this must be the world-famous Matterhorn dominating the backdrop, but then we couldn't find any Chinese tourist busses photographing it, which is unusual, so we thought there must be a strange new virus spreading panic or it… https://t.co/YV3Q4vX7AJ

🔥 „Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.“ … https://t.co/lYkMBsf66e
