15 summer festivals that would be a bad idea

Now there are infinite summer festivals that are bad ideas, but here are some.

Fire festival. Now I don't mean the terrible music festival, I literally mean one focused on fire. So there would be like fire everywhere. The booths would be on fire, the food would be on fire, the performers would all have fire. Just a huge lawsuit in the making.
Allergy festival. All the most common allergens out in the open air, what could go wrong?
Amateur tattoo festival. People who aren't licensed give out tattoos. Can't beat the price!
Excessive non-recyclable plastic festival. How many layers of wrapping can we get on all food and prizes? Nothing can be served on things that can be easily disposed of. So much waste to clean up.
Fanged animals on the lose festival. I think this title is pretty self explanatory.
Wool festival. Everything worn at the festival must be made of wool and only warm things are sold.
Only on in terrible weather festival. It only comes out when the weather is terrible. It's an okay festival otherwise.
Gigantic human knot festival. No cheating allowed and no one can leave until it's done.
Dare you festival. You must accept any and all dares while at this festival, no matter how dangerous.
Untrained magician festival. Can they actually do magic tricks? Is there a way out of that safe? Did I just see the not so secret strings? Could be a bummer or could be super dangerous.
Throwing sharp objects festival. Sure ax throwing is a thing, but what if we just threw a bunch of sharp stuff out in the open? And you could buy sharp things to throw as you want.
Make your own fireworks festival. Fireworks are classic summer fun and now you can add a DIY portion plus the added danger of it not being legal.
Who can make the most annoying noise festival? All you have to do is listen to all of the annoying sounds and decide which is the most annoying. Your prize? A vuvuzela.
Segway and scooter festival. All of the sidewalk terrors in one place.
Discouragement festival. All foods must be a disappointment and only downer games and prizes can be there.

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
