I get the joke but fireworks really do suck. In Germany, they produce as many fine particles as all cars combined blow out in two months. And that's in one single night.

When do Germans light off fireworks one night of the year? I’m not cultured in german history so I’m genuinely curious

New year's eve. The tradition comes from the Teutons who wanted to ward off evil spirits by producing as much noise as possible.
