Barely 15 years after the government started banning incandescent light bulbs in favor of compact fluorescent bulbs – to save the planet - CFL bulbs are now being banned because they are toxic and damaging to the environment.

Huh. Who knew.

Also, who could have ever predicted that the environmental activists promoting those little mercury bombs might someday reverse course?

TIL that incandescent are effectively banned from production and sale starting this year. That explains why I couldn't find any the other day.

I still have bulbs (three) running which are probably that old. They are among the most heavily used bulbs in the entire house.

I have 400+ incandescent bulbs stored in the basement out of the original 500 I bought before they implemented the ban.

Lifetime supply and then some. Wonder if you have a side income just sitting there?

When I start raising chickens my wife will know I've gone totally nuts.

Y'all are literally jerking off over the fact your power bill is higher. Sure the cfl bulbs sucked with their warmup times, but led bulbs last years longer and are way cheaper to use.
