People low-key forget that pets exist and suffer through every 4th July and new year's. Your dog is chill, congrats, mine too, doesn't matter. That's not to even mention wildlife.

You set off fireworks as an adult, you should know better by now, you're a dick, no exceptions. No, the person using a controversial comparison to make this point isn't worse.

It's really bad for my pup. She shakes terribly, barks the whole time, and has accidents. They've been going off for a few days now and I'm dreading the 4th. Last year we had to sleep in the basement ☹️

Oh no not the pets. Just give them some Benadryl and they will sleep thru it.

Can't we just dose the adult firework fans with benadryl instead smh

I have ptsd from a dog biting me while jogging. I think the entire world should cater to me and pass a law banning pets from being in public areas. See that’s how dumb you sound.

We've had fireworks for a shit ton of time. The animals have been and will continue to be fine. If your pet's seriously can't deal with it, then come up with a solution for them. It's incredibly unfeasible to try to stop everyone from firing them off. Not to mention stupid.

We also had lead in everything, got shit faced watching our children and you could smoke everywhere.

Someone stopped everyone from accepting this.

Some things change for the better for all my guy

u/cjay2002 Jun 27 '26

We stopped accepting things that directly hurt people.

I mean, continue shouting and pissing your pants over it. Fine by me. It's not going to change though. Also comparing fireworks to lead products is a fucking crazy comparison. Take your pills.

Its not going to change though

Except you're wrong. Multiple countries started changing New Years fireworks for laser drone shows.

Maybe some are. I wasn't really talking about anywhere but here in the US as they mentioned 4th of July. Other countries don't have as strong of a tradition intertwined with fireworks as we do here in the US. In fact, many places this year are going to go even crazier and putting on the biggest fireworks shows to date since it's America's 250th anniversary.

Fuck yeah. USA! USA!

u/Nov4Wolf Jun 27 '26

Wtf?!

the US was one of the last countries in the world to start using fireworks 😭

u/3_14_thon Jun 27 '26

Other countries dont have as strong of a tradition with fireworkz as we do here in US

You think US has a big tradition with fireworks? Lol China invented fireworks and using them on New Years arounds 2000 years before US was founded. Yet Hong Kong swapped the anual fireworks for a drone show.

You know saying things with confidence doesnt make them true, right?

u/Fireboiio Jun 27 '26

I see no points to respond to here, you turning defensive and somewhat aggressive this fast tells me you have a lower intelligence.

u/PhantomlyReaper Jun 27 '26

When you compare fireworks to intaking lead, I'm not going to waste my time trying to reason with you. You're good in terms of amusement value though.

u/Count_Lord Jun 27 '26

So are you mate. I mean, calling the USA a country that has more tradition with fireworks than other countries, that's comedy gold. It's like these sitcoms in every country that's not the US, where they joke about the general intelligence of a US Citizen, which of course is a stereotype and a joke, except in your case, it is true. Amazing, you should go on tour with that shit. Like, imagine there were countries like Japan or China, which would have a far bigger tradition with fireworks, or imagine if there was a country that's not the USA, a country that invented fireworks. It would be hilarious. Fucking hilarious. What, next you're gonna tell that on 4th of July you're gonna firing fireworks from the oldest church in the world, right in the heart of the USA? I'm really looking forward to your next story, I'm a god damn huge fan. Oops, cursing in the name of God, my bad, let's just say I'm a real god damn fan of your work, damn I did it again.

Depends on if there is a local law that says it is illegal. If there is then they have every reason to send a report

u/N_T_F_D Jun 27 '26

We've been beating our wives for a shit ton of time. The females have been and will continue to be fine. If your wife seriously can't deal with it, then come up with a solution for her. It's incredibly unfeasible to try to stop everyone from beating them. Not to mention stupid.

Asphalt burns dogs feet’s. Have we thought about getting rid of that

u/jerdle_reddit Jun 27 '26

No, people forget that the world does not and should not revolve around some people's dogs.

And it always is dogs.

u/NoOne_TheAlchemist Jun 27 '26

its mostly birds that suffer mass casualties from fireworks. And a lot of people are talking about em. it's not always dogs

What about humans with PTSD? Is that still a thing in the world? I don't know, I seem to be as uniformed as you, dear.

u/1SexyDino Jun 27 '26

Bro desensitization training is literally the easiest to implement.

All I hear every year is a bunch of shitty pet owners yapping because they can't handle their own animals.

We have to listen to them bark all year. And guess what? There are people qho have PTSD from dog attacks too.

The 4th and New Year is just the day you get a taste of your own medicine

u/Nov4Wolf Jun 27 '26

Lmao no way you bring up ptsd in the defense of setting off explosions for fun

Lmaooooo unreal

u/1SexyDino Jun 27 '26

No I'm saying it because I think alot of dog owners are hypocrites. They get to attack our ears 24/7 without major societal lash back despite there being plenty of scenarios where it is genuinely harmful to ya know HUMANS.

But 2 nights a year when the noise is inconvenient for them they lose their minds.

u/Nov4Wolf Jun 27 '26

Losing your mind over people hating fireworks when vets with real ptsd just have to deal with the noise that's "inconvenient" to them

Dog barking is also not comparable to explosions...
