Yeah, fuck you lightbulbs. Thomas Edison sucks.

Edit: I love that the comments are all just bashing on Edison. Praise Tesla.

Lux You realize that moonlight is just sunlight reflected off of the moon, right? All light is just electromagnetic radiation, whether natural or artificial.

Forgive my heresy, but what are these glorious masterpieces from?

Draemondor3 votes

These wonderful masterpieces are from an ingenious game series called Dark Souls. Definitely recommend everyone play them (and Dark Souls III comes out on April 12th!)

In addition to what Draemondor said, Solair is often fan-arted holding a bottle of Sunny D as a visual gag. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Who the fk is Edison

TESLA mate... gosh this murica

The Ecdysiast6 votes

The man who invented the lightbulb.

Tesla was smarter and more successful.

JVP1517 votes

Tesla was smarter and infinitely better in almost every single way.

Edison was far more successful financially because he was a greedy, cruel, and lazy sonofa*****. Like, legitimately fk Edison. Fk him with his own light bulb.

The Ecdysiast3 votes

Hmm? Didn't most companies opt for Tesla's ideas over Edison?

JVP157 votes

Maybe, although I cannot remember much about the whole Tesla vs Edison feud. I like to remember Tesla as they guy who was the better inventor, but because he had no business sense, he wasn't very rich, while Edison was basically the Lewis Dodgeson of real life and made quite a bit more money, even if he didn't make as much stuff. That is how my fanfiction goes, anyways.

Due to smear campaigns and whatnot at the time, no. Many people went with Edison at the time, and then went over to Tesla's inventions after later deliberation when they found Tesla's to be better overall. Demonstrations like the infamous execution of the elephant in public using Tesla's AC to kill the elephant to prove Tesla's invention was dangerous, as opposed to Edison's DC which was 'safer.'

While Tesla did make a considerable amount of money through his patents, a lot of that money went to fund more of his own experiments. He fell into relative obscurity after his death due to the fact that he really didn't put himself out there into the world on the scale that Edison did, and so the world relegated Tesla to obscurity while Edison was much more widely-known, with Tesla mostly being known for the 'War of Currents' in the public eye.

Edison didnt make the lightbulb. He was the first one to market it.

Well on Reddit TIL that the quote on Leona's page, "If you would shine like a sun, first you must burn like one" is a Hitler Quote.

And TBH I can see the connection in their train of thought and his lol.

The Ecdysiast10 votes

I'd have to agree with that, considering Leona's blind anger when Diana confronts the Solari elders.

GrReaper962 votes

So Hitler just wanted to make the Jews shine?

Actually, the Lightbulbs do not exist in Runeterra... The "Star rods" are what people uses as lightbulbs in Valoran.

Those hextech artifadcts where invented by Cecil B. Heimerdinger, not Thomas Edison.

Therefore: Cecil Heimerdinger Sucks.

But the sun is a star... so...

Man Edison is so bad, I heard he failed over a thousand times just trying to make that shit. That's less than a 0.1% winrate. What a n00b.
