As a European it’s now 4th July, so felt it was the right time to post
almost happened to my cousin when we were teenagers
firecracker exploded in his hand and we all immediately went into full panic mode
luckily there was no permanent damage but I don’t trust any fireworks since then
I live up the street from a hospital and lemme tell ya, the meat wagons were out in force last night between sundown and midnight.
WE ONLY NEED ONE TO TELL YOU OUR OPINION!!! AROOOOOO!!!
Jk, you’re not wrong. I used to hate being on call over the holiday weekend — even as an IT guy, more patients meant more users active on the servers.
Just so you know op, on lemmy you can edit your title
I can’t believe this still isn’t an option on Reddit

Never heard of it.
To be fair, that’s everyday. People don’t limit their firework usage to the Fourth.
Don’t you have laws? Fireworks are only legal to the public for the new year in most of France.
Last Christmas one of my office coworkers brother died from a fireworks explosion. It was tragic. Aparently, they had made a bigger firework by combining the powder of smaller ones. He had in his hand when it went off. He spent about 10 days in the hospital before succumbing to his injuries near his abdomen and hands. RIP.
Firecrackers are fun but they are no joke.
IF WHAT?!?
