I have to watch my poor kittens flinch every time a firework goes off. Curtains closed to minimize noise and all. Fuck fireworks. No fucking point at all, just noise and pollution.

  @Gargron I would've thought by now that Quiet Raves would've taken over but we're still a ways off.

  @Gargron Go complain to your lawmakers and get them permanently banned. Not much good comes from being angry on the internet.

  @Gargron I'm so lucky that my cats don't care. I hope it ends soon for you and them.

  @Gargron thank you, I totally agree,
  There is a supermarket chain in a German city, the owner of it has decided to not have fireworks sold in his stores, because his pets suffer from this each year... that guy gets much hate apparently

  @Gargron It’s a longstanding entertainment for families in general and children in particular. Owners of pets are responsible for their welfare.

  @Gargron 💯 We recently moved to a new place. Before, we were quite lucky with noise. At the new place people started fireworks a day before already like it would be NYE all night. My one cat didn’t come out of its hiding spot all day 😒

  We all already knew you were a confirmed unlover of anything fun when you removed toots and started buddying up with Meta.
  
  You can educate yourself on the history of fireworks here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireworks#History
  
  Just as we tolerate the existence of Mastodon in the fediverse, you can tolerate others' enjoyment of pyrotechnics. I'm sure your cats will be perfectly fine hun 💅.

    Fireworks
    
    Fireworks are low explosive pyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. They are most commonly used in fireworks displays (also called a fireworks show or pyrotechnics), combining a large number of devices in an outdoor setting. Such displays are the focal point of many cultural and religious celebrations, though mismanagement could lead to fireworks accidents. Fireworks take many forms to produce four primary effects: noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (confetti most notably). They may be designed to burn with colored flames and sparks including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and silver. They are generally classified by where they perform, either 'ground' or 'aerial'. Aerial fireworks may have their own propulsion (skyrocket) or be shot into the air by a mortar (aerial shell). Most fireworks consist of a paper or pasteboard tube or casing filled with the combustible material, often pyrotechnic stars. A number of these tubes or cases may be combined so as to make when kindled, a great variety of sparkling shapes, often variously colored. A skyrocket is a common form of firework...

  I think fireworks with audible explosive reports are stupid (sometimes unavoidable) but there are plenty of great fireworks that are relatively silent eye candy.

  @Gargron Not just the pets, lots of veterans and people with PTSD are having a hard time right now. That selfish attitude of "I don't really care about other people, or other living beings, as long as I'm having a good time, only my needs and wants are important" is the reason why the world is so fucked up.

  Perhaps put your cats on a megaphone and speakers until people start complaining that they can't hear their fireworks.
