      what do you mean it’s not loading? try refreshing, it’s a big picture, might take an hour or two to load, just keep staring at your phone.

    You know it’s fake history cause Edison didn’t invent the light bulb. Or anything for that matter.

    Who knew Edison and his wife dressed up as furries every night? So lucky we have a photo of it for posterity.

    This is the type of quality content I expected from the fediverse. I was not let down.
