It's still a form of art, specially the "big" ones. The hand-handled one are totally useless and can disappear from the world for what I care.

In general, they are dangerous and should be banned overall. But won't happen any time soon.

“For my next masterpiece, I am going to murder several hundreds of birds, a dozen small woodland critters, 2 cats and 4 poodles! The pollution cloud will take weeks to clear completely! Biodiversity, several hectares around, will be decimated, it will take decades to recover and I will do it in only 15 minutes! Your grandpa will have a mental breakdown thinking he is back in 'nam!”

That feels... A bit exaggerated. You have any sources?

Do you not know how to read? This whole post is filled with links and sources in the comments.

It’s incredible all the constant dead animals all around Disney from the fireworks they constantly set off and on yeah, you are just as bad as the MAGA people only looking for sources that agree with your agenda.

Oh cool a personal attack, that means you've definitely got your sources down and are arguing in good faith instead of becoming a whining 5 year old /s

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
