News Years in Denmark is probably the single most uncivilised evening in an otherwise a generally socially conservative country (compared to other European countries). New Years is when the Danes loose their fucking minds and spend a small fortune on fireworks. All fucking day.

@kaa You should see Norway! It’s a wonder more people don’t lose limbs or right out die. People are drunk out of their sculls and shooting up fireworks. Here where I’m living, there have been more or less daily fireworks since before last years Christmas! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

@kaa I couldn’t sleep until about 3am, but finally did. I expect there to be a couple of weeks of “aftershocks”. In the news they reported 10 eye injuries, whereof 4 were “serious”. They even showed pictures. Not nice. Eye protection is mandatory now, but aren’t observed by all.

@kaa @odd Sweden: not my experience, there are certainly fireworks but usually around midnight. Also, it's a lot less than when I was a kid and also a lot more organized.

@jemostrom Last part I’d say is the same here. They’re striving for a zero-injury vision, but I doubt they will ever get that.
