1. Pollution from fireworks doesn't matter when a single volcanic eruption can put out more pollution in a single day than all of humanity in a hundred years.

2. Don't be stupid.

3. Plenty of people like fireworks. Get some ear plugs or don't live next to Disneyland.

A few years ago where we live now there was this weird kind of fireworks when being shot into the air makes a kind of women singing in a very high note. It was actually interesting and couldn't figure out what I was hearing at first.

Every time I see fireworks go off I know it's less and less batteries for our future which China owns the majority of the mines where they farm the Lithium. The fireworks use a lot of Lithium to make the pretty effects which is why some places are going to water shows to ease off the use of it. Lithium really is a finite supply and think of the millions of phones that the Lithium go to and now smoke alarms with 10 year (sealed) batteries many states now enforce.

here around Easter and Xmas suddenly the mainstream news are flooded by headlines of mutilations by bad made fireworks. plus pets are scared af every time, and if the pet is not phobic that's ok but if its phobic then it's even worse for them.

Fireworks are a LOT LOUDER then in the 90s. Our cat went deaf because the Oregon Gardens when we lived next to it experimented with these loud BOOM BOOM BOOM with little light effects and they mysteriously scrapped it the next year which I can only assume the people in the crowds heard it far worse then we did. I bet many actually did go deaf and complained and/or sued.

They never did do those weird BOOM BOOM BOOM kind again. It was very weird when it happened and am glad it was just an experiment though they should've consulted with the citizens FIRST then they wouldn't have been in that mess to begin with.

It's sadly only one of many dumb things the Oregon Gardens have done in it's life time.

yeah that's what i'm talking about. same thing happens here. people get mutilated due to local customs that demand that people hold the fireworks with their bare hands while they light them up and turn them looking upwards while they burn. but they blow up and people lose hands eyes etc. pretty gory.

Part of the extremes on both ends it seems.

Fireworks have no place in residential areas. People have things to do, they need to sleep, they have babies, pets, it is a basic level of respect. As a high quality neighbor, I will not be next door setting off fireworks all night ever. I guess if you don't have neighbors its a luxury

I think it's better and safer just to do fireworks this way! Less expensive and way more powerful then whatever you can buy for your backyard both legal and illegal! You can sync these professionally like city fireworks or just go crazy and blow crap up all within the comfort of your own home.

Note there seems to be several versions of this as the one we had had a picture of NYC skyline while others seem to have SF Golden Gate Bridge with different music then ours though the songs are on this list here.https://www.lemon64.com/game/complete-computer-fireworks-celebration-kit

For some reason the patterns formed by the fireworks (eg in the thumbnail) are almost... unsettling. Like looking at a spider, an ocean predator, or some sort of poisonous insect.

My city uses drone light shows now as it is cheaper and reusable.

The same people that gave us fireworks gave us covid!

welp to each their own, they're not bad outside of crowded living areas though tbh, but if people dont lose their parts and babies and pets don't get spooked eh it's not bad

Seeing pretty lights flash in the skies is fun. It's not all that dangerous if you do it right either.

Most U.S. states have restrictions on the types of fireworks the general public can purchase. If you're seeing the more dangerous stuff go off, then odds are that the laws are already being disregarded anyway.

Public firework displays are done by trained pyrotechnicians to minimize the risk. Seeing pretty lights flash in the skies is fun. It's not all that dangerous if you do it right either.

As things stand the risks are small. Only 10,000 people suffered from fireworks related injuries in the U.S.A.[www.usatoday.com], and only 11 died in 2022.

In a country with hundreds of millions of people, 11 are relatively few, and you are never going to render life perfectly safe.

Alcohol should be globally banned...

1. VIOLENCE
2. because of stupid incidents (bye bye freedom)
3. loud ass people no one needs to hear -.-

To be fair, the reason alcohol isn't banned isn't for lack of trying. The main reason it isn't banned is because trying to ban it is futile as the ingredients are basically everywhere life can survive.

Keeping it legal also prevents people from trying to make their own moonshine. Leaving it to the professionals reduces odds of going blind because of methanol toxicity caused by improperly distilled moonshine.

The usa tried this back in the 30's and it didn't go well at all.
