It’s almost 2 am and I’m in bed and I still keep hearing pop pop boom outside. Is it that fun? Seriously. Also, what’s a better sub for this kind of post? Inb4 mastodon.

    Fireworks are brilliant. I think you live somewhere with cultural issues… people reserve the right to party and annoy everyone else…

    They have their time and place - and 2am sounds more like problms with arseholes, not Fireworks.

    They should be banned after 9pm (except for New Year - extend until 00:20 for that).

    I’ve been witness to some amazing displays that bring tears to my eyes they were so awesome. The most memorable being ones that I’m close enough to feel the pressure wave, a truly trouser flapping experience.

      The big issue I have with “reserve the right to bother others” is that others includes animals, elderly people and small children, all of which may be really bothered by fireworks. A lot of birds die during fireworks every time, for example.

      I don’t really get anything from fireworks, they all look the same to me.

      I love fireworks. I’ve been helping in professional level shows for a few years and ever since I basically stopped buying fireworks myself.

      There’s no way I can capture even a whiff of the awesomeness of a proper display, yet I’d still spend hundreds on trash, trying. And I too get annoyed with random bangs throughout the days surrounding national holiday. There ought to be “shooting ranges” for the general public then let some pros do a proper display and see each other in a year again…
