Today is Guy Fawkesβ¦ we have fireworks to celebrate the death of a king (If Iβm not mistaken)β¦ itβs frustrating being part of the Anglosphere bc people overdo it with fireworks always. It terrifies pets sometimes + Iβm not really a fan of noise in general.

I think Guy Fawkes Day is an British holiday. It's not a thing here in America.
Where I live, on any given day. there is more gunfire than fireworks going off.

It is. Apparently itβs to celebrate a failed assassination attempt on an English King.
Btw, apparently Halloween is a thing in the Arab Gulf countries that now celebrate it.

I never imagined Muslim countries would be adopting Hallowe'en, a pagan European tradition

Its a thing now. There were articles published in Arabic newspapers complaining about how students in the Gulf have adopted it.
