    My wife, a Nurse, first told me of this and commented how stupid it was.

    After looking into it and telling her what it was for, she said, "Still stupid."

    To me, it's partly just more virtue signalling with little substance. Just another stupid tide pod challenge.

    However, if people need to do something to make them feel better and show appreciation, go for it. Don't expect everyone to join in, and don't assume that nonconformists are not appreciative.

    Yep, slacktivism.

    I live near enough to a hospital & its quite the event.

    Ive 10+ kiddos that live on my block that are enjoying the novelty for a minute or two & that's fine, fun even & I'm glad folks are trying to keep their spirits up however... I suspect the hipsters with the horn doing it for 20+ minutes each night wouldn't like my noisemaker.


    If only...

    FWIW, while also somewhat virtue signalling but with a tangible benefit, wife is much more appreciative of any business that lets first responders and health care workers jump the line (Costco) or offers real goods. They're getting one meal per day at the hospital.

    Im just jesting of course. I'd never.

    But it sure would be funny to see everyone not used to it, jump out of their skin at the kaboom.

    That's funny. This morning I was pondering what could people do that's better then howling like dogs...I'd be lying if I told you I hand't considered shooting blanks as a bit more manly than howling.

    If it's an excuse for my son to scream outside the house, I suppose I am all for it.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!
