Tell me which of the fake internet myths you believe about Edison so I can quickly debunk them and then we can get back to enjoying this quote on its own merit.

Tesla was team Edison.

He got all his animals from the SPCA, not local kids. They hired him to explore the idea of using electrocution as a humane form of euthanasia. Interesting enough he was later hired by the system of new york to research is this were true for the death penalty. It had nothing to do with the current wars.
I mean, it logically makes no sense. Why tf would he pay money for pets when he can get truckloads for strays who were running the street reeking havok for free? This is just a bogus story created to make him sound like a psychopath.

Neither of these things happened. These are both myths created by scammers and click bait websites to drive traffic. People love the "you didn't learn this is school" factoids. The problem is that 9 times out of 10 the reason you didn't learn it in school is cause it's not true lol.

No, this is a popular internet myth, but there is no truth to it. You only evidence you'll find is clickbait bullshit.

This never happened. Tesla did have a problem with one of the managers he worked eith while at menlow park, not Edison himself. Tesla was a pretty avid gambler, and he despised people who welched on bets, so he rage quit.

Well Tesla said he was "a wonderful man" (direct quote from Tesla autobiography). So I think he would disagree.

He didn't ruin Tesla, this is a modern internet myth with zero basis in reality. Tesla tech wasn't better, it was average for a man in his field at the time.

He didn't invent the electric chair either. He was hired by the State of New York to research if the electric chair was a more humane alternative to hanging. Some dentist guy invented it.

It's a completely myth. Edison had nothing to do with Topsy's death. All he did was own a recording of it. A recording he didn't personally film.

Edison when blind himself from x-rays. He also paid the widow her husbands salary for the rest of his life. Was Marie Curie problematic? She did the same stuff st the same time

He never stole from Tesla, that's a modern fabrication of the truth.
