Fireworks might be beautiful for a moment, but they leave behind a trail of harm.

They pollute the air with toxic chemicals and fine dust, spiking asthma and breathing problems. After events like July 4th or Diwali, air quality drops dangerously — and people with lung issues feel it immediately.

The noise isn’t just loud — it’s traumatizing. Pets panic, birds die, and people with PTSD or autism often suffer in silence.

Tradition isn’t a good excuse when it causes this much damage. Not all traditions are worth keeping — especially when they hurt the most vulnerable.

  AI detectors don’t work, and often just end up flagging autistic people as AI.

    At this point. I just block anyone I see using the em dash. Will a few false positives slip in? Sure, but I’m confident that I’m blocking more bots than nots.

  It is. Yes. Doesn’t change the message.

    But why are you using AI to write forum posts?

  I went to Universal around last Christmas and they had an awesome drone show. I had never seen anything like it and didn’t even know it was a thing. 100% better than a fireworks display.

Traditions are peer pressure from dead people

  Are you implying that people and animals should rather die?

    if the cat dies shooting at the people bothering it then so be it, if the people die because of the cat they deserved it
