Gaming history trumps actual history! A poll asking who invented the light bulb shows Arthur Morgan (a fictional cowboy from Red Dead Redemption 2) winning with 92%, while Edison trails at 7%. The joke plays on "TB" - in the game, Arthur has tuberculosis, but fans are cleverly misinterpreting it as "The Bulb." Meanwhile, actual inventors like Humphry Davy and Lewis Latimer barely register at 1% each. Historical accuracy getting absolutely destroyed by 10,000 gamers who'd rather believe their favorite outlaw secretly moonlighted as an electrical engineering pioneer between robbing trains and shooting O'Driscolls.
