Just fyi, confetti are candies in italy. Not bits of paper.

  Can someone code and make a pull request to properly handle display of those for Italian users? (see https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confetto https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confetto for what they look like)

    Ah, so basically the same thing, but they hit much harder when they land?

      I guess they also fall down much more quickly

        Not if there is no atmosphere!
        • ale42 3y ago
          Probably not the typical use case, though ;-)

  Interesting. It's also cognate with "confection". https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=confetti https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=confetti > 1815, "small pellets made of lime or soft plaster, used in Italy during carnival by the revelers for pelting one another in the streets," [...] the custom was adopted in England by early 19c. for weddings and other occasions, with symbolic tossing of little bits of paper (which are called confetti by 1846).
