People have no idea how understatimate is the New Year Eve celebration in Iceland! This is pure madness! People are just for the fun over here! Fireworks for hours and people plastered and happy

That would explain why you posted this on Showerthoughts of all places.

[jewbacca117@lemmy.world]

You partying in the shower?

[addition@sh.itjust.works]

You aren't?

Have fun, stay safe, tell Bjork and the people that made EVE Online we said hi.

[bcgm3@lemmy.world]

I dunno, sounds pretty statimated to me.

[z3ror0ne@lemmy.ml]

I believe I have statimated the people of Iceland accurately.

Happy new year Jon Jonsson!

[alert@sh.itjust.works]

fireworks must be outlawed in all countries.

Burning heavy metals in the atmosphere seems like it might be bad

[amaterasu@lemmy.world]

Thanks

You joke but Björk is super approachable and friendly. She DJed my friend’s birthday party in Reykjavik one time.

Pretty pathetic this year in West Seattle. I heard a feeble burst of fireworks right at the stroke of midnight, then a couple minutes of sporadic booms and that was it. Usually it goes on for a good half hour.

Thousands of industries worldwide release thousands of times more chemicals in a day than a firework display ever could. It's fine.
Out of all the sources of pollution, I'd wager fireworks should be near the bottom of our list of concerns.

Though I wish more safety measures around them were introduced, both in terms of manufacturing and usage.
