This post belongs in some weird limbo/union of fakehistoryporn, technicallythetruth and angryupvote.
I’m such an idiot that I opened the photo thinking my app wasn’t loading the image…
………………..
what do you mean it's not loading? try refreshing, it's a big picture, might take an hour or two to load, just keep staring at your phone.
God DAMNIT. You got me, you clever son of a bitch.
You know it's fake history cause Edison didn't invent the light bulb. Or anything for that matter.
This is the type of quality content I expected from the fediverse. I was not let down.
you're welcome
Who knew Edison and his wife dressed up as furries every night? So lucky we have a photo of it for posterity.
Wow, I always wanted to see this exact moment, very cool 😎
damn, this one's hilarious
I just don't see it, sorry....
you don't see a picture of the happy couple dressed up as furries?
i had to upvote
Got me, good one

Candles and lamps existed before the light bulb. Gas light was a whole industry, which is why we have the term gaslighting.
