What doesn't send them into a meltdown? It's almost like they're the things that melt easily that they're so fond of calling everyone else.
Just like their bigoted positions on LGBTQ+ rights. Like, nobody is forcing you to identify as one. It's literally as respecting someone to be called John instead of Johnathan.
Then righties go, "bUT I dONt lIkE tHaT nAMe!"
So much for individual freedumb I guess.
They got upset by an energy savings change on Xbox, lmao
Old enough to remember when they went berserk over florescent light bulbs.
Old enough to remember when they lost their minds, because Obama suggested they check their tire pressure.
CFLs were kinda shit tho. I'm so happy LED became standard.
The mercury was bad
LEDs are definitely an improvement on an improvement. But I'll never get why people got angry at bulbs that were cooler, brighter, and cheaper by life expectancy than their old filament bulb counterparts.
Reactance. They didn't feel like they had a choice. CFLs were different and buzzy and the color was off.
Only because they weren't a sizable market share.
Engineering problems that were solved within a few iterations. But by then LEDs that were better and cheaper were hitting the market and the argument became moot.
Now my biggest problem with modern light bulbs is the absurd market-ups relative to what they cost everywhere else on the planet.
Cheeses? Do they melt like various cheeses? Mmmm cheeses.
That would at least explain the saggy orange thing they worship. lol
Damn you its time for brie.
They don't call America a melting pot for nothing ;)
