Xantar@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?1212·1 year agoYou make a good point. Which can also be made about any form of freedom as soon as it encroaches on someone else’s comfort.

Xantar@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?22755·1 year agoYup, that could also be said about music, cinema and any other form of art/entertainment/distraction. It doesn’t produce anything “useful”, but again, what is “useful” varies from one person to another. Some would say the waste of money is the point. You blow fireworks because you can.
Ultimately nothing matters because there is no true meaning of life, so anything that pulls you away from the dark nothingness of existence is good to take.

Without the caption, would you still say the same things about his face ?
Like if it said this guy was a Nobel prize winner instead, would your opinion of him be different?

Xantar@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•it is kinda crazy "fuck this shit" hasn't become a common acronym yet5·1 year agoThere’s also a correlation with the sounds of said swearwords. Which tent to be more sharp and concussive. That’s why “Fuck that shit” feels better than “Damn this mess”
