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.
American who lives in Denmark now.
New years here (where anyone can buy mortars and set them off whenever and wherever) makes the 4th of July anywhere I've been in the US feel tame.
The rest of the year you won't see any fireworks at all. It's like the purge
German here. Same. How could you even tell it's the new year without everyone on your street setting off a dozen rockets plus various assorted low altitude fireworks each?
