Unless your goal is to set off car alarms, scare people’s pets, and upset veterans who have ptsd. Then, they are amazing. Equally amazing for signalling you are an inconsiderate dick. Other people don’t want to see or listen to your display of insecurity and lack of self satisfaction. Want to see the flashy boom boom in the sky? Go to fucking disney world. Otherwise, leave the other 99% of us alone.

    Fireworks should be something only done in public spaces for public festivals and stuff. Or perhaps on privatly owned rural isolated land.

    It’s ridiculous people can just do noise pollution in the middle of cities. My mother has a neurological disease that can be worsened by acute noise. It always takes her weeks to recover after fireworks, even with earplugs and noise cancelling headphones.

      The actual pollution of the fireworks is a much bigger issue than the noise pollution. They create a lot of litter.

        No it’s not, you can say that about every event, nice one.

        once spent they are also nearly entirely paper.
