PTSD sucks. I have my ear plugs in, trying to ride out the explosions outside. Anyone else in a similar situation, maybe neurodivergent?
Not really. I like fireworks. The only problem is, people firing them off in places where they would otherwise get penalized for. Like we’re not allowed to have fireworks/sparklers of any kind on the apartment premises. Yet that didn’t seem to stop a few idiots who fire them off thinking they’re living in homes and the cars that could get hit or be set on fire should things go wrong, exist.
Video games are more fun than fireworks. Video games with good friends doubly so.
I’m staying with the in-laws. We’ve got the dogs in the house. Amazingly none of them care about fireworks.
We do have a toddler who had her night sleep interrupted by big bada-booms half the night. I was hoping to acclimatise her before her bedtime, but there were none to be seen then.
I have sensitive ears. I don’t hide from fireworks but really don’t get why every celebration has to be so loud. Half of the time it’s not even fireworks but those mini bombs teenagers throw around
Yep in my country they are called “kanonslag” or if you direct translate it. Cannon slammers.
They can be so huge that you are more or less holding a DIY hand grenade. I really don’t get the idea. At least regular fireworks can be pretty
I use to have that as teen after a “firework accident”. It fade year after year, now it don’t bother me anymore.
My cats mainly, but I also fucking hate fireworks for holidays unless they’re a large community thing.
Random assholes in their backyard really ruin the holidays for me. Also, absolutely cannot abide fireworks for sporting events. It’s such a dumb spectacle that seems to have picked up more since the 2010s or so.
Dog + Kiddo. Neither of them love it, plus I’ve always viewed it as an expensive way to litter.
In my pants.
Oh, FROM.
