My cat isn’t shook at all by the massive fireworks going off all throughout the night of the 4th in every corner of the neighborhood each year. The first boom gives her a jump then she just sleeps in her favorite cardboard box. The explosions were thankfully pretty chill this year. The bros across the street usually host a big party and blow up insane amounts of pro grade poo poo from the middle of the street and all sorts of paper bits and clumps of red powder rain down on our house. One year one of their big mortars went sideways at ground level, sending a bunch of drunk people running for their lives, then it exploded under a parked car. This year they only had a few for some reason, and no party. My feeling about fireworks is there isn’t anything going to stop it especially not the police so you might as well invite a few friends over, crack some beers and enjoy the show. My kid loves it. I feel bad for the poor birds  Please don’t burn down California. Thank you. Ralph Hurley fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Jul 6, 2021 |

People like me say "N'rk" and people in Delaware say "New Ark", as if there's an Old Ark. Watching anyone outside of the immediate New England area try to pronounce Worcester, Haverhill, or Tremont is entertaining.

I just performatively pronounce town names wrong. It turns out thats what the founders were often doing too so I wrap around to being right a lot.

Big Beef City posted:I wish they invented a dog that shot fireworks that terrified other pets and tons of them were up for adoption so that all of these animal lovers would be forced to make an ethical decision I'd team up the dog that shoots fireworks with a cat that rides a vacuum cleaner. They're partners and each thinks the other one is the sidekick.

My neighbor took down his Ariel on top of a pile of coconuts art piece in his front yard before the tropical storm. Won’t have to complain about him online.

Pekinduck posted:Its just one day a year jeez. Not where I live, but sure. Seems like folks like popping them off all year, here, at weird times. In fact, I'm so used to that bullshit that when a tree fell on my porch, shaking the apartment, I just went back to sleep, thinking it was fireworks. Dead serious. (No it hasn't been fixed, of course not) I like fireworks, but also have ptsd and get jumpy at sudden noise, so I really wish it was just a few times a year, so I could know when it was on the way.

In the uk we go berzerk with explody stuff on Nov the 5th due to a failson, while in Germany they choose the new years eve to attack the sky, so, I get to enjoy it twice a year depending on when I travel, I miss the Japanese hanabi though.

"Jeez, I'd KILL for an ice-cold drink right about now!" Goons: WHOA, LAY OFF ON THE CRAZED MURDER THREATS?!?!? Have you goobers really never encountered hyperbole before? I hate fireworks because they make my dog miserable for days and nights on end and I can do nothing about it. Fireworks are almost entirely illegal where I live so I'm not even talking about organized displays with pretty colours; it's 99% cheap crappy bangers going off randomly day and night for about a week. They are stupid and boring and annoying.

It was someone asking for advice on how to deal with a neighbor living below who pounds on the ceiling because of the noise he makes. Turns out he had decided to vacuum at 12:30am. Found it!

Histrionic murder hyperbole is the dulled sword of the ancient internet, as Cussin' Recipes and Image Macros, and just makes you sound insane. As though you are posting as D-Fens, the star of Joel Schumacher's Falling Down, rather than living a full life in your brief visit to this planet.

There was a ton of fireworks in my poor, lovely neighborhood on the 4th. I kept hearing gun shots intermixed, which is sadly pretty normal in Houston. My neighborhood doesn't even get the silly "Was that gun shots?!" Posts, because, yeah, it was, go back inside. Turns out there was an actual legit shoot out two blocks from me during one of the bouts of fireworks. Edit: No one in my neighborhood posted about the fireworks, or the gun shots.

One dog went to the bedroom and snuggled in bed with us, the the puppy couldn't care any less about the fireworks. Maybe he needs to become a bird dog.

Fireworks fido is totally gunning for that bigger dog. Bet they had a beef to settle. Traxis posted:It's just one day a year, you babies can't handle this for one night? Where can I buy one or two of these fireworks? Play posted:Well, if you're gonna have a shootout seems like a good time for it, I suppose They're just being considerate by trying to minimize the number of times pets get scared.
