Gender reveal parties specifically seem to be the worst for this because it's American *parents* who are into this in the worst most destructive ways Like the only perk of parenthood, among all its myriad burdens, is getting to demand everyone pay attention to your parenting

And yeah as hilariously destructive as pyrotechnic gender reveal parties have been they're not as bad as all the shit these people do with their kids after they're actually born

That's the most prominent, but not the only thing that's legal under our current regulations involving binary explosives. ANFO, for example.

Well, obviously, that too. But knowing humans, I wouldn't be surprised if someone came up with a different stunt such as "OK, something was put in the cake you all just ate that will dye your pee pink if it's a girl or blue if it's a boy. Is it safe? Who knows, but it'll be fun!"

Make a cake using shredded beets or Ube. Then don't tell anyone and watch as they start to panic and think they're dying when they pee red.

I'm a parent and I don't get it. I told the relevant people the expected child's biological markers and left it at that. The only way in which it matters for babies is where diapers get most wet. And tips for dodging or catching errant urine.
