Alright, I’m going to launch explosives around your house. For several hours. Yes it is dangerous and terrible for wildlife and the environment. And yes your pets will get sick from eating the debris and you will feel terrorized inside your own home.

No you can’t opt out of it. Everyone is doing it and frankly it’s weird that you don’t want to.

No you can’t be the one launching the explosives you need a license for that. You can however launch these marginally smaller ones though. Yeah just whenever you want. 2am sounds great.

So anyway, fireworks were a mistake and it’s never too early to start reminding you of that.

    I also don’t get why anyone films them. We have so many videos of fireworks as a species. Like we have the whole phenomena comprehensively documented, we’re good.

      Yeah, but that’s almost everything. I see tourist taking shitty pics of things that have been documented millions of times while their family stands next to them. I’m like, “Get them in the picture!” If you want it to mean anything.
