I learned a lot running a drop shipping based novelty store for a bit and it seems that human sexuality has very few boundaries. As long as nobody gets hurt (unless that is their thing) and everyone is of age, people should explore what they want to explore.
I made a little bit of a joke about that in my last comment, but it was just superficial. It’s someone’s thing and they have every right to get off how they choose. (TBH, the people I met that were on the extreme side of things were very open and had a good sense of humor about it.)
Lol i was just making a joke as well there wasnt any thinking, just some 5min lemmy shitposting. I dont really care what others are doing if they arent harming anyone so got nothing against that use their free time a bit different than me.
It was actually Edison and Westinghouse. Tesla and Edison having beef with eachother is a complete myth. Edison never wrote about Tesla at all and had a gigantic beef against Westinghouse. Tesla was actually a fairly minor player whose only real contribution was his invention of the multiphase motor that he licensed to Westinghouse. Not only that but another guy by the name of Galileo Ferraris independently made the exact same discovery around the same time as Tesla. Meaning Tesla’s contribution to AC electricity wasn’t even strictly necessary.
After that invention Tesla did practically nothing at all of consequence other than grifting Charles Schwaab out of a bunch of money and falling madly in love with a pigeon.
Tesla also never really had anything negative to say about Edison at all. In fact he actually briefly worked for his company. He ended up quitting when the manager he worked under reneged on a deal they made to give tesla $300 for a task the guy didn’t think Tesla would be able to do. When Tesla actually did it the guy said he was only joking about the $300. Tesla got super pissed and quit.
Not to mention the fact Tesla was batshit insane and had all sorts of weird pseudo-religious beliefs about how electricity works. The money he grifted from Charles schwaab was used to fund his idea of transmitting electricity large distances through the earth; Not through wires buried underground, but literally through the earth. As you can imagine it didn’t work.
That was Edison and Tesla, Franklin was long dead by then. Also it was pretty one sided, Tesla wasn’t the one doing stage shows out of killing circus elephants.
Oh I misread the meme for some reason or my brain just autofilled tesla lmao. Yeah and thanks to their rivalry we were gifted with the electric chair, one of the worst and most unreliable ways of executing someone
Not sure that's the worst use of electricity ever. My smart TV is locked up trying to download something it isn't capable of downloading. My computer won't run Yahoo because it's downloaded too many ads and can't work anymore. My smart phone can't send or receive texts, photos, or phone calls, and my ipad can't run anything of any kind, including apps.
Maybe the Dark Ages had something going for it after all.
There's something about me and technology that interfere with each other. I've had people tell me they've never seen the kinds of problems I've had with computers (IT techs for example). One technician told me he didn't think it was possible to do what I'd somehow done with my computer and really all I did was stand next to it on day one. That's all it takes.
Same with my TV - if I am out of the room it works fine. And it isn't an antenna problem because I'm on cable - but if I get close to the tV, it shuts down or I get weird images that look like smoke trails across it. I just seem to naturally antagonize electrical stuff.
