Which is also the part which completely terrifies all the animals for miles around. I dread the "fireworks season" which here in the UK stretches from Diwali until after 5 Nov with a brief coda around xmas and New Year because of the effect it has on my dog. It's absolute torture for him even though we do what we can to mitigate the impact.
- Gigachad 4y agoSure, that’s a reasonable reason to dislike them. But I think people get a bit dishonest with the drone shows. They try to promote them as better than fireworks when they just aren’t. We can admit that we are compromising
- seanhunter 4y agoTotally agree. Fireworks can be wonderful. One of my fondest memories is when as a child of about 6 my father (a chemical engineer) taught my brother and me how to make gunpowder and we made fireworks. We added a bunch of other chemicals to make them burn different colours (copper sulphate for blue etc) and then set them off when it got dark. My mother was so freaked out by how dangerous it was that she made him promise never to do it again. Feels particularly special now as he's old and has dementia so his days of doing crazy shit are coming back but not in quite the same way.
