It’s 5:50 and it’s already started around me and I live in the middle of the country. Fucking hillbillies.
I want to know what these peoples fireworks budget is this mortar things can’t be cheap and they are non stop
My theory is that fireworks have to have gotten way cheaper the last few years bc it is considerably worse than it used to be. And I really doubt these are the types of people who are now making considerably more money than 3-4 years ago.
The burn ban in my area just lifted so I’m out here ripping some fireworks in the cul de sac. Had to tell a neighbor to mind his own business when he came out whining about his PTSD.
I wouldn’t know what to do with a dog that could handle fireworks. All 3 goldens I’ve had are terrible with it, our youngest golden now just trembles.
Luckily our dog doesn’t give shit, but everytime I’m about to fall asleep there will be another 5 minutes barrage from the white trash nearby
4th of July, my group puts in $100 each and we get about $500. However the place we go usually does buy 1 get 2 free deals and freebies if you spend a certain amount. So we usually get over $1500 worth of shit to blow up. For reference, 4th of July is also my birthday and I live on a lake so I just shoot them out over the water to be safe. I’ve never understood fireworks for new years though.
tf I am. My insane BIL who is missing a finger bc of explosives gave my teenage daughter a bootleg ass 8000 shot firework. Wife was pissed af when she saw it
I live in a neighborhood outside city limits in Texas, there are no rules bunch of rich rednecks that own some big ass concrete company have a gun range across the lake from us. They frequently shoot ARs and shoot fire works I fucking hate them so much
At least 2 dead and 22 injured https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/...injured-fireworks-related-incident-salt-lake/
First NYE I can recall not hearing a single firework. Maybe it is time to get my hearing checked out.
Sounds like an act of terrorism A dickhead flying an isis flag driving a truck into a group of people. Check on your mates.
fireworks are dumb. i changed my tune when i took a mortar round to the shin a few years ago. shit blew out the side of the box and popped me. still have a big burn scar on my shin from it
The local park would do a fireworks show during the weekend but it is absolutely unhinged that multiple neighbors and houses in the area were doing their own shows last night
I enjoyed shooting off fireworks, but I don’t anymore cause they are expensive and make a mess. Now get off my lawn you young thunder cats.
Shooting off fireworks on a day meant to commemorate fallen soldiers seems a bit ironic in the "not great" sense.
Can’t believe how loud it is around here on the week leading up to the 4th. Every god damn night and always right as I’m trying to fall asleep.
As a dog owner, July 4th is on me to figure out (I’ll even give a pass to July 3rd). But fuck everyone who lights shit off from June 23rd thru July 9th. Fucking white trash.
We had our first fireworks nearby on Friday, so what, the 26th? Some asshole kids were shooting them off in the field behind my house and throwing some on the playground of the school next to me. I'm going to start running my sprinklers nightly for the next few days. The best 4th of July I've ever had was a few years ago when I got covid and so I quarantined in the basement by myself and marathoned all the Mission Impossible movies.
Good news - it’s supposed to storm pretty good starting this evening and into the night bad news - theyre shooting them off now
I live in a condo, so naturally more rules, no fireworks allowed on the property. So I'm in the clear on that side. The apartment complex next to mine is like 90% Hispanic and apparently they fucking love fireworks because they've been going hard every night for 2 weeks already
Some asshole keeps firing off those mortar rounds from the park near my apartment at like 4am every night. I’m not a death penalty guy, but I’ll make an exception.
Same. Though last night was surprisingly quiet from our basement. We didn't even need the extra meds. (He's already on daily Prozac from doggy PTSD from the time a neighbor shot some loud whistling banging repeating shit off over our yard right as I tried to sneak him out for a quick pee break). Godspeed tonight.
Normal people don’t shoot off fireworks for the 4th up here because it’s too light out to really see them/appreciate them. And since it’s fire season it’s straight to jail for anyone that shoots em off anyways.
Luckily we found the one county near us that bans fireworks so we booked a campsite till Sunday and are hunkering down in the mountains.
neighbor is a PACU nurse and was telling us about one of her patients. 15 year old kid and his two friends had some type of firework go off inside their house. blew his entire left arm off, blew his right hand off, and he's already lost one eye and may lose the other. burns all over the front of his body. can't even imagine. she said they didnt know if the firework was set off on purpose inside or if it was an accident.
