Light is light 🤷

  Also known as “incandescent lightbulb”

    Also, heating elements. Which I guess are just durable incandescent lightbulbs.

    The viewing angles on these new LER displays are going to be insane

      Don’t even need to be facing them!

  Every diode is an LED if used wrong enough.

    Everything is a Firestarter if you use it with high enough voltage…

  Everything is a light emitting resistor if you send enough power through it.

    The sun: Damn it, I knew it 😠. I thought I was special 🥺.

    In university in the first lecture I visited they demonstrated that fact using a pickle. They sent current through and it glowed.

  My stovetop is a light emitting resistor. And compared to LEDs, it is multifrequency! Checkmate atheists.

    Same resistance, variable voltage.

  If you think about it, all resistors are emitting light, but under certain conditions it becomes visible

  It’s the other way around. LEDs are usually monochrome.

  Emitting is spelled wrong. In the age of fucking spell check being literally fucking everywhere, there is no excuse other than to chalk it to simple stupidity now

    Meeh, we all make mistakes buddy ☺️.

  Quartz heating elements are also resistors that emit light, but i’ve never seen anyone complain about that, quite the opposite actually :-)
