Your Predictions for 2026?

Now, just like last year, I will ask you all to submit a comment making predictions about 2026. All predictions will be revisited exactly the same day next year!

As you know, they don't have to be JetPunk centred. To be honest, I would preferably want both JetPunk and irl predictions, as well as personal predictions/wishes about your own life!

Let's see what we get this time!

Have a happy new year!

Why is Germany trying to ban private fireworks?
+1
Level 81
Jan 10, 2026
Probably the same reason there is a movement to do the same in the UK.

Lots of people think that having fireworks in private hands, rather than at organised events, is dangerous and annoying.

The main reasons are that they tend to be let off about a week before or after any specific event, New Year for example, and random flashes and noise are frightening to animals. Plus the residue left over is not disposed of properly.
