High kids' dumb shit will always pale in comparison to drunk kids' dumb shit and it's not even close.

Thank you both for the interesting discussion!
Is there not enough about Israel in the current news cycle that you'll completely disregard what's actually happening here for a throwaway, utterly irrelevant comment?
Rather just bomb the fucking place and move on.
Should've added an /s eh
Thank you for the correction
Thank you for the correction!
This is a really interesting article on lightbulbs, which have a pretty conspiratorial past: https://interestingengineering.com/science/everlasting-lightbulbs-exist-ed
Did you know that a secret meeting was held in Geneva in 1924 between lightbulb manufacturers that lead to the formation of the 'Pheobus Cartel'?
"The main objective of this cartel was to agree to control the supply of light bulbs. Each understood that if any one of them managed to develop a long-lasting light bulb, the need for replacement bulbs would likely dry up.
Bulbs were lasting too long. Not ideal from their point of view.
So, to combat this, all members of the cartel agreed to reduce the lifespan of bulbs on purpose. Initially, this was set to no more than 1,000 hours!"
The longest-lasting lightbulb was first turned on it 1901 and is still shining.
EDIT: Seems this is a myth, see replies for more information!
It's as deliberate as calling people who criticize the actions of the Israeli government anti-semites. It's disingenuous and completely intentional. That way, you can erase Palestinian civilians from the conversation altogether.
Yeah, there's so much space for them to work with, right?
How about not conflating "Jews" with Israel?
"limited amounts of force" 😭😭😭
Legit question from a non-American - are Repubs really likely to vote for a woman for president?
