2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

I miss incandescent Christmas lights from the 70s.
the colors they had were warm and magical.
you could go down the street at night and the whole neighborhood was filled with this technicolor dream rainbow that you just can't make anymore.
You are not the only one and your are being heard!

There are several companies that make modern lights with the same feel as the old school Christmas lights!

I knew the link before I even clicked. Love his channel.
I'm really glad the companies are making LEDs with the old school feel. Best of both worlds.
The technology connections YouTuber is obsessed with this and has a number of videos about this.
I love Alec's channel, I appreciate the way he covers topics.
sorry, not inconsequential. those lights were objectively better and made countless people's lives better than the LED shit, whether or not they even realized it.
the change to LED has been a real loss with consequences
I used to love turning off the living room lights, getting under our Xmas tree, looking up, and watching the lights blink. It was silent and peaceful, almost like watching the twinkle of stars in the night sky.
And the bulbs popped with such a wonderful sound
Also the crunch when you accidentally shattered one. My grandparents still had some in the 00s
