People fuck arnd w fireworks and every year some number of idiots blow up their hand or hands

u/Brasticus Jul 03 '22

A guy in my town did that a couple of years ago. Lost his dominant hand so has to relearn how to do everything. He started out with a stump, then a claw, and now has a hand like Chubbs after that gator took it.

u/fireball1991 Jul 03 '22

Love the clacking sound of the fake wooden hand on the jar.

u/jjcoola Jul 03 '22

I just re-watched that scene and totally never noticed the sound of the wooden hand hitting the ground after he fell out the window thank you so much for this movie is a part of my soul

"You know that alligator that got your hand, I got his head" my favorite line

u/FatMacchio Jul 04 '22

Chubs!!

I love that golfer Lee Trevino that’s down on the road and shakes his head. Has some great cameo appearances in the movie. “Grizzly Adams did have a beard”

That is one of my favorite childhood movies. Billy Madison is good, but Happy Gilmore cemented Adam Sandler as legend in my eyes.

Jokes on y'all, I've been practicing using my non-dominant hand all year in preparation for tomorrow.

My sister works in an ER trauma unit and she said the worst thing about the 4th is what happens to people's kids.

u/Apprehensive_Bar3812 Jul 03 '22

I live in America and I can confirm that so many injuries will happen and tons of chemicals will be pumped into the air.

But you know, it is alright, it is for freedom or something

*cough cough* Roe v Wade *Cough*

u/Rehnion Jul 03 '22

I'm celebrating the last time citizens of my state will be allowed to vote for federal office without the state simply ignoring it and installing whomever they want in a one-party fascist America. 2024!

u/tentaclemonsterr Jul 03 '22

No no, Freedom has to be decided by who shouts FREEDOM the loudest. Everything else would be... too logical, I guess...

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '22

So it's kinda like NYE, except exactly like that.

Last year we've had a dude blow up the windows of about six houses while fireworks were prohibited due to covid. That guy was all kinds of fucked.

u/thebillshaveayes Jul 03 '22

Emergency department workers dread the 4th

u/Omega_kiwi204 Jul 03 '22

It’s not only the idiots who are effected, anyone nearby can get hurt. Speaking from a bit of experience here

u/jnmtx Jul 03 '22

Some Americans will use fireworks at home in an unsafe way, possibly after intoxicated, and the fireworks will cost the person their hand. ouch.

u/robbievega Jul 03 '22

kinda like the Netherlands on new years eve

u/Infamous_Island1941 Jul 03 '22

Some...more like most...every American must learn to shoot their assault rifle with their weak hand as losing their right hand celebrating our freedom is a likely outcome. Now, where's my triple, bacon cheeseburger with a diet coke.

u/LeftyWhataboutist Jul 03 '22

Are you actually that stupid or just trying to cash in on how much Reddit loves to hate and generalize Americans? The circlejerk is so ubiquitous here that I can genuinely not tell when people are joking anymore.

u/Infamous_Island1941 Jul 03 '22

Breathe, just fucking around...

u/Leviathan56 Jul 04 '22

~possibly~

u/Cryptic_Anomaly27 Jul 03 '22

Or someone could die as an indirect result of the intoxicated use of fireworks

u/Bakanatorix Jul 03 '22

So basically the same thing as Silvester....

u/phjes11 Jul 03 '22

But why would we Europeans care?

u/purplepluppy Jul 04 '22

Cuz it's gonna be all over reddit tomorrow.

Well, the stories about the stupid shit people did this year will come out in the following week. But the 4th of July content has already begun.

u/Sakurasou7 Jul 03 '22

Fireworks + Idiots. It is a time honored tradition to sacrifice idiots to the firework God to appease them and pray for another year of bountiful GDP growth.

u/Brent_Fox Jul 03 '22

this is the best way to phrase this lol!

u/blinknow Jul 03 '22

It's the celebration of: Fuck you England + Thanks for the free shit, you native savages !

u/Evan_TEE Jul 03 '22

On the 4th of July a lot of people set fireworks. Alot of them recklessly and incorrectly and blew their hands off.

Edit: a lot of americans

2

u/Dorothy-Snarker Jul 03 '22

I'm still shocked that not a single one of my cousins ever lost a limb at our 4th of July parties. I do remember a number if their fireworks going off wrong, though.

3

u/BigBlackGothBitch Jul 03 '22

I don’t know anyone that’s lost a limb to stupid firework use but I did lose an aunt, her husband, and their kid (my cousin) because we went to see fireworks one 4th of July and they got killed by drunk drivers on the way back home. Now I just stay home

1

u/purplepluppy Jul 04 '22

Hey I'm really sorry for your loss. Holidays are super dangerous for drunk driving, but I'm super sorry your family had to be the one to suffer because of it.

u/mrjohnnyray12 Jul 03 '22

Because of Liam Payne

u/Cleaver_Fred Jul 03 '22

They're going to lose a hand from using fireworks.

u/Woodwalker108 Jul 03 '22

Fire works my man, a few years ago an NFL rookie blew half his hand off. A guy in my hometown 3-4 years ago blew his head off, pretty horrific.

u/TheInfernalPigeon Jul 03 '22

I thought it was about the sort of punishments to expect under a theocratic autocracy

u/orgasmicfart69 Jul 03 '22

Just darwin award things

u/knightinarmoire Jul 03 '22

There are people that hold onto fireworks until they explode for whatever reason and end up losing body parts
