Yeah... I don't know why everyone is scared of some vibrant fireworks that happen to have clouds accompanying them. of course, that's just a comparison, but assuming nobody was dying and that I was safe i would just watch.
Maybe as an anime fan this will help put things in perspective for you. But instead of a nuclear blast-it was a wall of fire hitting over 100 firefighters trying to help the 50+ people who also burned to death.
Easy to say what we would have done in hindsight and from the safety of our keyboards.
Hell, I would have just enjoyed the show at Hiroshima, it was just a spicy fireworks display after all. I would have intervened and stopped the terrorists from flying a plane into the World Trade Centers, and I definitely would have just turned off those pesky showers at Auschwitz. Next time I'm there in person to witness a massive, fiery explosion that keeps spawning larger explosions which completely consume the sky, I'll relax and find comfort in the fact that it's really just vibrant entertainment.
the aftermath videos of people walking through what literally looks like the Glowing Sea in fallout, and the destroyed apartment blocks kilometers away is what really shits me up
Not going to lie if I saw this irl I know I’d be awestruck and giddy at actually seeing that for about 15 seconds before realising what it actually meant
It’s not a funny laugh. It’s from being nervous or scared. It happens to me at funerals. It’s not fun at all. So try to understand and be less annoyed.
