  • Fireworks are brilliant. I think you live somewhere with cultural issues… people reserve the right to party and annoy everyone else…

    They have their time and place - and 2am sounds more like problms with arseholes, not Fireworks.

    They should be banned after 9pm (except for New Year - extend until 00:20 for that).

    I’ve been witness to some amazing displays that bring tears to my eyes they were so awesome. The most memorable being ones that I’m close enough to feel the pressure wave, a truly trouser flapping experience.


  • ‘Us’ meaning Americans, right? The people who must put ‘Literally’ into a sentence to make it plain that the meaning of the word is the meaning of the word without any comprehension of what they spout?

    I had a family from Texas visit for a couple of weeks. They were shocked when they saw our car - it has a 1.2L engine and CVT.

    At home they have high performance vehicles… of course, they did find it very important to TELL everyone about this. I didn’t bother asking them WHAT they needed these vehicles for - I’m sure that a 1.2 litre engine could drive around Texas (ours has done a good 600,000 km already and still runs like new).

    Yet they still managed to get everywhere they wished to go, and decent speeds, in decent comfort.

    Probably for less than 10% of the cost.

    It’s stupid Americans that are Literally Killing Us.



  • I actually added a custom search engine to Firefox… so I can search something on Lemmy. I have the keyword ‘LW’ for Lemmy.World search right now (because Lemmy.ml was offline a while).

    Basically, do the Lemmy search (search term ssss) then edit/replace ssss > %s and copy the entire link. https://lemmy.world/search/q/%s/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1

    Then using ‘add custom search engine’ extension on Firefox, you add it.
