"Why didn't I think of that!"

You really think a key is the only thing he tied to that string?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago

Didn't they literally have a contest to see if it was easier to kill some with DC or AC?

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.

You mean Westinghouse someone?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nipples? Lol.

Google around for a electric sounding kit.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

With the little information I know about sounding, i think I am gonna pass. I already know a lot more than I should.

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.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

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.
