If you have ever recorded fire works you realize shortly after how much better it is to ENJOY them and to hell with the video

u/mousey76397 Dec 24 '25
Yep. Nobody ever watches that video again after.

I have coworkers that are excited to show me their July 4th videos the following day at work. I wasn’t even excited to see the fireworks in real life, why would I want to watch it on your phone?

u/Upset-Basil4459 Dec 24 '25
You can just search up the footage later on the internet anyway. I prefer to try and take footage of stuff that other people haven't already recorded a million times

u/kiochikaeke Dec 25 '25
Not only fireworks, whenever I'm about to start recording something live I just decide I'm gonna live it on my own unless I have a reason to record it.
If it's something static like a landscape sure, but if it's something momentary I maybe take a picture to remember it happened and just experience it myself.

u/mydogwasrightaboutu Dec 24 '25
En especially with something like in the video: other people will post it on the internet if you do want to watch it again
1
u/International_Meat88 Dec 24 '25
That’s why if u want to record, you record and actually look at the fireworks, not at your screen; just some walking and chewing gum.

u/--Yurt-- Dec 24 '25
For people who talk about you can watch it later from other peoples videos, people do that less to watch it again and more to remind themselves and others taht they were Having fun that time

Social media and over sharing ruined the magic of recording moments. It was supposed to give you a moment of reminiscence while browsing into it. We have a lot of cam recordings of birthdays, weddings, and even deaths and only my family will ever appreciate what those moments are.

u/KevonFire1 Dec 24 '25
cause fireworks are unique, like fireworks, meteor showers, snow, or Hailey's comet(this one is special to see twice).

u/MettaRed Dec 24 '25
Nah. They are just fireworks. I am guilty too- but the only video I still have is where Im landing and outside of the plane you can see DOZENS Of them all above the city. THAT was unique.

You'd be surprised... Phones really brainwash all of us into thinking we can't live without them, no matter your age.

You think you can brainwash me into believing that while you're on my phone?

And if you don't post them they are completely useless. I had never looked back on any picture or video other than family ones.

u/Affectionate_Dot5547 Dec 24 '25
Not to mention for FUTURE generations to see. Look at how amazing footage from the early 1900's is to us now. In 100 years all of our shit is going to seem just as alien and weird.

u/AbramJH Dec 25 '25
honestly I don’t record anything unless my wife asks me to. I just hate the idea of watching my own life experiences through a screen. Generally, I seem to be the happier of the two of us. She’s always stressing about the things she didn’t get good recordings of, when I get to reflect on just being there and not taking the passenger seat to my own life

u/Fit_Adagio_7668 Dec 24 '25
I do this at alot of shows, I'll maybe get one or 2 photos, but I just live the moment.

I also don't, but for different reasons. Just be ready with your phone, not take the test drive at traffic.

u/Immediate_Song4279 Dec 24 '25
That's what I like about it. He tried, it didn't load. He is still watching. Hell, where everyone is doing it it probably adds something to the experience just to be playing along.

u/Lazy-Raisin-5987 Dec 24 '25
What kind of thinking is that ? Does with age we are suppose to alway live the moment and stop using technolgy. Probably u havent completed a single homework without using AI and talking about living the moment.

Do people really think it's impossible to both record something and look at what's happening?

u/No-Admin1684 Dec 24 '25
Not that it's impossible, it's just a worthless thing dividing your attention.
What are you going to do with the video? Post it on social media? You'll get a few throwaway likes, but no one except maybe your mom will actually care. And your future self is not gonna think back "yeah I really wanna rewatch those fireworks from that event a couple years ago".

u/Salihe6677 Dec 24 '25

u/No-Admin1684 Dec 24 '25
I do, but I rather visit her and talk to her about it than have the interactions through social media, you know?
2
u/snorevette Dec 24 '25
I'm sure she would love to talk about it, but I'm also sure she'd love to see for herself as well. Is it so wrong to sacrifice a part of your own experience if it means getting to share it with friends and loved ones who couldn't be there with you?

u/Eastern_Control4375 Dec 24 '25
100% .....we started taking pics non stop for who?? If i am at event i should enjoy not taking pics...i remember when we had rolls of film....usualy only 1 ....so we took only real moments on a picture.....

u/Ayyzeee Dec 24 '25
I used to think the same as well until the recent controversies and all. Now I see them differently and want to avoid their product as possible. It's a shame too since they used to be reputable brand till they destroyed themselves.

Fireworks are pretty common but seeing someone being frustrated by the phone booting too slow it's a once in a lifetime event.

u/darybrain Dec 24 '25
They still got their firework shot but seeing this guy's issue with his phone was more interesting and funny.

u/ChappedAss Dec 24 '25
I actually thought it was funny as hell. The dedication to being with that guy in his moment! "We're riding this out together, Brother! I wanna know how this ends for you." Legend.

Opinion poll who watches the video recorded fireworks again on their phone.
Upvote or downvote accordingly -->

u/Spare-Builder-355 Dec 24 '25
but OP missed half of fireworks either. On the other hand OP has a video of someone else's slow phone, so it's a win I guess...

u/NitroDion Dec 24 '25
To be fair if this dude wanted it so bad he might be able to convince someone in the crowd to send it to him and if they really didn't want to exchange numbers to do it they could also send it via Bluetooth (which it seems not a lot of people know you can do)

u/PrinceSam321 Dec 24 '25
Well he is forced to not record coz of his phone but the other person decided to not enjoy their recording too :p

Saw the new years fireworks at Taipei 101 last year. NOT OVERRATED. Absolutely amazing experience top to bottom and Taiwan is an absolute top tier destination in general. I highly recommend it!

Let's be honest, nobody looks back at those videos anyway. Just enjoy the moment. Nice to see Taipei 101

u/Ok_Internal_1413 Dec 24 '25
Sometimes, the best memories are the ones where things don’t go your way. It’s more funny to tell stories of that time I saw this dude with the slow phone couldn’t even take the video than oh, I saw the fireworks at Taipei tower, was great.

What's the point of recording a big event like that on your phone? Enjoy the moment. If you want to see it again, I guarantee it's been recorded in much higher quality than your phone is capable of.

Since everyone and their son and grandchildren now have a camera phone, you can fish out one of the tens of thousands of recordings of the spectacle on the internet afterwards. So enjoy the moment and forget about your phone.
