Interactive Dumpster Fire - A 2020 Tradition

As the festive period arrives, it often brings with it increased stress, worry, and the surfacing of long-held complaints. This year, those feelings may be even more pronounced. Rather than enjoying the cozy image of a crackling fire, many of us find ourselves confined to our homes while feeling overwhelmed by global events.

Consider this engaging alternative to simply expressing your frustrations into emptiness. The process is straightforward: submit a message or image, and a device will virtually incinerate your statement. It can be a relieving experience, though it does require some patience. Approximately 20 minutes have passed since I submitted my concerns, and I am still awaiting the visual confirmation of their destruction.

Engage in this activity with family members or even your pets. You can virtually destroy representations of COVID-19, divisive political issues, or even a photograph of a relative who subscribes to conspiracy theories. The virtual flames are indiscriminate; ultimately, everything is subject to change and eventual dissolution.
