While observing from outside, I saw a rather curious view of your planet. It was all bright and colorful, and created a huge smokescreen, actually blocking my view (gee thanks for that). For humans, I thought it was surprisingly coordinated. From timezone to timezone, everytime a meridian got near 0:00h lots of colored explosives were fired.
So… humans, why are you firing against your own atmosphere? Isn’t that a bit dangerous? Not to mention illogical? Like you’d say: STUPID? (is that the right word?)
Maybe it’s a cultural thing, “Fire when the sun is on the other side” or something. But don’t you have lots of different cultures? (that kind of hate each other, so collaboration would sound weird)
Also, aren’t you divided by irregular frontiers? So why the sudden collaboration and timing? (even though I have to note: the firings were more consistent with frontiers than with meridians, which makes my “sun relation” theory kind of odd)
Well, it’s just one more thing I’d like to understand about you. What a fascinating species.
…dumb, really dumb, but fascinating.
