Are there any positives to fireworks? Got a ton of them going off near my house. Some people say it’s for Diwali, some people say a town near us is celebrating some anniversary. Both seem equally unlikely, but in any case, it’s just loud as shit, fucks up the air quality, scares all the animals, every fucking dog in my neighborhood has started barking. Subjective I suppose but they’re really not worth all the negatives.

Edit: turns out that some dude around here, his dog had a seizure bc of fireworks tn. I think the dog is okay but yeah, fuck fireworks

firework pros:

pretty lights oooh ahhh

firework cons:

scare animals
noise pollution
fucks with nocturnal species like bats
dangerous if used by randos
interrupts sleep

idk it's hard to say if they're good or not

dangerous if used by randos

Before I left CA, my immediate neighbors didn't even care for the light show as much as just very loud floor-rattling BOOMs. grillman

In downtown Sacramento the people on my street had straight up professional full sized fireworks, I don't even know how a regular person gets ahold of those.
