I'M GONNA FUCKING GET WHOEVER JUST SET OFF A SINGULAR FIREWORK.

IT IS FOUR TWENTY FIVE IN THE MORNING. IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.

[luke-naberrie]

since it’s now bonfire night and fireworks keep going off, here’s why fireworks suck and shouldn’t be sold to the general public, and why bonfires should be banned:

the rspca has found that around 62% of dogs show distress during fireworks, and around 54% of cats and 55% of horses [1]

hedgehogs like to curl up in unlit bonfires, which often leads to hedgehogs getting burnt alive (and thus harming our native population) [1]

the fireworks themselves are harmful to the environment - they cause extensive air pollution, leaving metal shards, dangerous toxins, harmful chemicals, and smoke in the air. some of these never disintegrate, and instead poison everything they come into contact with. exposure to the chemicals has been linked with various health issues, such as asthma [2]

the shock of fireworks can be fatal to birds. if fireworks are set off near nesting birds it can cause them to flee their nest (furthermore it’s an offence in the uk to injure wild birds under the wildlife and countryside act 1981) [3]

they cause welfare issues in domestically farmed animals - the heart rate of pigs and the respiration rate of lambs both increase when there’s an increase of noise in background levels [4]

So About Fourth of July.

We shouldn't have fireworks. They are loud, hurt animals and people. People are dumbasses with them and it starts fires. America is really really bad at this. Fireworks are fun yeah, but we should have certain times and an amount of fireworks. So fuck that. Fuck America's dumb ass loud fireworks

Independence Day

I’m just going to say it: I fucking hate the 4th of July. Drunk ‘Merican jackasses setting off loud explosives for like week until 1 AM in the morning with no regard whatsoever for people with PTSD, kids with autism, or animals...dumbest fucking way to celebrate independence. I hate people sometimes. I really do.

we NEED to ban fireworks from just the general public being allowed to set them off in neighborhoods we actually NEED to right fucking now because I am not doing well it is SO fucking loud my head feels assaulted and I want to cry IT'S NOT EVEN THE FOURTH YET

[addithevampire]

I’m just trying to relax and someone, somewhere, for some fucking reason, is setting off fireworks and has been for the past half an hour. Jesus fucking Christ can you fucking not. Some of them are so loud I’m reminded of the time someone nearby set off a cherry bomb at 2 a.m. and I became convinced my neighbor’s water heater had exploded. Or the time I actually heard two transformers blow on campus, taking out all of lower campus’s internet and electricity. It’s not even a special night. Fuck off.

I can always count on my dad...

I am honestly living for my dad right now. He’s fucking screaming at my neighbor who has been firing off fireworks for nearly 3 hours now. XD XD XD

4th of July

Most People on 4th of July Weekend: Wooo, Independence Day and ‘Merica and BBQ and Fireworks and other loud noises!

Me: I fucking hate all you bitches setting off fireworks for 2 goddamn hours every day for two weeks straight and I hope you all do us a favor and blow yourselves up, because blowing loud shit up to celebrate is literally the dumbest fucking way to honor people who fought for our freedom and were literally either blown up themselves or witnessed their friends being blown up that I just can’t even with you goddamn jackasses right now...

Seriously, people get so fucking lax with EXPLOSIVES this time of year and don’t even consider that there are people with PTSD or other problems with loud noises that I get so irate that I hope they blow themselves to pieces. I honestly never feel less American than I feel on the 4th of July, because people are such inconsiderate jackasses on this holiday.
