Imagine Edison trying to patent the "hello" greeting to get royalties every time someone answered the phone.
Then the incel fanbois defending Edison, insisting he invented the term 'hello".

At this point I think there are more incel fanbois overhyping Tesla, still believing he really did have perpetual energy death rays invented by Ancient Egyptian aliens

Dude was brilliant, but he was also very, very crazy... and a name that comes up a lot when I'm on the "Spirit Science and Ancient Aliens are perfectly valid methods of self-education in comparison." side of Youtube

Not that I'm defending Edison mind you, every cent he ever gained was earned by Tesla.

I heard he electrocuted an elephant.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Yeah because he wanted to make Teslas ac electricity look evil, but just made everyone there hate him.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

Ahoy, guys.

Be the change you want to see in this world, don't let Thomas Edison continue to shit on everything from his grave.

I love the fact that Burns answers the phone this way. Subtle jokes like this are the reason why The Simpsons is infinitely rewatchable.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

I thought of the same. I assumed this anachronism was meant to imply he was incredibly old and around for the initial rollout of the telephone.

opens phone, "...moshi mo..." infinibonked for weebery

Edison was a cunt.

Thomas Edison kinda looks like my granduncle who was beating his wife.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Your Gruncle, you say?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

Fun fact - this is why Mr. Burns always answers the phone with "ahoy"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Let's compromise!

Alloy.

Or what we can agree on: HO. Omg Santa was right all along.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Great, now I'm fighting metal dinosaurs.

Edison deserves hate for more than that
