That Moment When 5: It's dead Jim

Over here, too…my parents always sent me out as a child on new years eve to “play” with the other kids. Always felt like Panem to me

I liked the green little balls you threw(though the box said to put them on the ground before lighting…boring)…felt like someone handed me hand grenades as a kid.

Hahahaha, I felt very content with these little throwdowns (they are called “knallerbsen” over here, “lightning peas”. Tiny white balls that made a light “pow” and vanished into smoke when you threw them on the ground). They were already too exciting for me :smiley:

Lol! Never ever gonna happen. They like to watch sparkles, let’s hope it stays that way. The illegal fireworks from Poland are not even fun, they’re bombs!

That moment when…you don’t understand the comments about how a bell collar on a cat is somehow abusive. :thinking:

I have seen zero evidence that it negatively affects a cat’s hearing, and I’ve had cats all my life (not all have had bell collars though). The sound of the tiny bell is very small compared to the various every day noises of life, and no vet has ever told me that it hurts a cat’s ears (and hearing is tested in a cat’s regular check up). Unless the cat has another underlying issue, like the anxiety previously mentioned, the bell is not harmful.

The purpose of the bell is twofold, to help track the cat (as any cat owner knows, they love to get underfoot) and to warn wildlife when the cat is out stalking birds as no one likes to find avian corpses on the front lawn.

We have some legal “dupes” that can be bought at every grocery store on new years day, but they are also very potent. I always see those ten year olds shoving them to the cashier, with their parents behind them who are kinda looking like :grimacing::grimacing::grimacing: everytime while exchanging glances with the cashier

Nice. Try doing it on yourself for a month. Keep it even for sleeping. Then go to a sleep unit and to an endocrinologist, and let’s analyse how your circadian rhythm has been fucked :relaxed:.

You are a responsible parent. Other parents give their childs pierced ears when their offsprings are two or three years old, so…

Nope. It’s their body, not mine. When they’re old enough they are free to choose what they want to do with their bodies. Last week I saw a mother and a 6 year old and she bought him red bull like wtf.

Lel. I remember my mother scolding me because I cried due to shock and pain when an untrained hair stylist handled one of these piercing pistols on three year old me :smiley:

I’m sorry to hear that. No random mall stylist should have the power over piercing holes into anyones body
