I asked him “what color were the clouds back then?” and he said they were white. I asked him what happens if I take an orange light and light up something that’s white with it. He ignored me. He went on about how everyone in his age group remembers the Sun being orange, and by me questioning him, I’m calling him and all his peers liars and I’m stupid because I’m younger than him and vaccinated.

    You’re still being reductive. An indicator LED can work without any part of it more than 10 °C above ambient temperature. No incandescent light bulb can achieve this.

    And yes, there are indeed lighting systems that use many low-power LED chips spread over a large area, none of which get hot even by human standards. These cost a lot of money but last extremely long.

      I’m not being reductive.

      You’re just being an ass.

      This is the equivalent to someone asking what color is the sky. Someone saying its blue, then you coming in spending hours flailing your arms desperately screaming “THE SKY ISNT BLUE, IT ONLY APPEARS THAT WAY DUE TO THE COMPLEX NATURE OF THE INTERACTION OF SOLAR LIGHT ON THE MOLECULAR COMPOSITION OF THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE TO MAKE IT APPEAR BLUE”, Then getting big mad when someone goes “So its blue then, thanks”
