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.

I guess a well organized fireworks show can be quite amazing. What I don’t understand is how much private consumers will pay for it each year to literally see their money go up in smoke. That being said, I think those people would find it pretty weird to know I pay money to some guy in Estonia to run a server so I can look at memes of beans as a Spezistan refugee.

I like setting them off at my own pace. Lighting the fuse and running away is half the fun.

What I don't get is people who only buy a few 100+ shell batteries. At that point you're better off gong to a show.
