  They’re not a replacement for fireworks.

  Objectively yes.

    Objectively, so you have some data to back it up? Do you have the comparative carbon footprint of those shows?

      Lmao are you being serious or do you lack basic logic, drones are reusable and put off zero emissions, fireworks are not reusable and put off a shit ton of emissions.

        Zero emission at use, not at fabrication, probably not when recharging and not as electronic waste at the end. Yes, I am being serious, considering only emission during usage is a very limited view of what carbon footprint is. A view that is often used by companies for green washing. Do you also believe electric cars are zero emissions? Considering full life, knowing which one emits more is not trivial.

        Please stop with such language, we had enough of it on every mainstream platform.

        I genuinely call for civility here.

        As per the substance, as already mentioned, the production and later disposal of drones does have ecological footprint that is very much not negligible.

        No you don’t, that’s for fireworks, now we need the impact of drone shows to answer the problem. Would you have it?

  Drones wouldn’t scare the shit out of local wildlife and people’s pets at the very least.
