Edison was a thief, stole everything he is credited for.

@NativeOregonian he did. Westinghouse also helped to pay some of Teslas living expenses in the end..

But diff between Edison and Westinghouse.

@TamarindCorncob That is so cool ☺️

@TamarindCorncob Plus, hipsters are cockroaches, they destroy every community they invade.

Tesla was a genius, but also quite mad.
Edison was more of a grinder, but was able to accomplish quite a bit.
Each has its purpose.

@DragonFruit so agreed. Great answer.

The introduction of the electric chair was accompanied by a secret, and very high-level, war between the proponents of Direct Current (DC) electricity (Edison) and Alternating Current (AC) electricity (Westinghouse). The electric chairs used a thousand-or-so volts of AC to electrocute the prisoner.Jul 11, 2005

@Pfuzylogic I always knew the old demonstrations were done w ac. Let me find stuff about modern electric chairs. Bc now I wanna know.

TamarindCorncob · 46-50, F

Looks like it has ALWAYS been a/c. Now it wont let me link the historical article. Gr.

Edison, he was an asshole but he got his products to market. Tesla was a brilliant theoretic with no head for business.

TamarindCorncob · 46-50, F

@SW-User Thanks to Westinghouse too

SW-User

@TamarindCorncob Indeed.

trackboy · 22-25, M

telsa favored AC. Edison DC. so it depends on if you like AC or like DC or if your the AC-DC type. 😺

@TamarindCorncob did you get the double meaning of ac/dc type?? 😺

TamarindCorncob · 46-50, F

@trackboy yas!! :D

trackboy · 22-25, M

@TamarindCorncob AWESOME you got the double meaning!!! you can buy a power inverter to turn the 12 volt dc in your car to 120 volt ac. 😺

Some not talking about nakedness, their problems or spanking!

TamarindCorncob · 46-50, F

@luctoretemergo sigh.

Welcome.

Unlearn · 41-45, M

Tesla was book smart... Edison was street smart.

TamarindCorncob · 46-50, F

@Unlearn knew how to market.

curiosi · 61-69, F

Telsa, Edison stole Telsa's idea's.

TamarindCorncob · 46-50, F

@curiosi tbh people borrowed and built off of others ideas. Tesla did not invent/discover the alternating current, he only made it efficient and improved upon it.
