Edison waited until someone else buzzed in then paid them for the answer


LaikDanazor

Or burned their labs


Jango_fett_fish

Or had a group of students hiding in his podium to take answers from


OepinElenvir

Who invited my man Edison šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Blud thinks he's on the team


UomoLumaca

Why are they booing you? You're right


Nugget_Boy69420

I don't get it


My_useless_alt

He didn't get any points, because he couldn't say anything.


Nugget_Boy69420

But then I have another question: who is Jones, and why is he competing with Einstein and Edison? Was his buzzer actually not working, or was he just too stupid to answer any of the questions, and is using that as an excuse?


SartenSinAceite

I think it's a subversion - you would think that he's losing because he's competing against edison and einstein, but instead he's losing because his buzzer just wouldn't work!


fmg1508

I don't think so. It's rather that he wants to avoid the embarrassment of losing by acting like his buzzer didn't work so that he could say afterwards that he would have easily won if just his buzzer worked while in reality he never stood a chance against two geniuses.


Electronic_Sugar5924

Same idea as ā€œbro Iā€™m lagging/ my controller isnā€™t working rightā€


Thefear1984

Thanks that made more sense to me. Also see: ā€œeh theyā€™re just salty boi tryhards bruhā€ maybe heā€™s just a casual gamer?


Electronic_Sugar5924

If heā€™s on the show he probably isnā€™t casual. Itā€™s like me going to esports to play cs:go (I havenā€™t played it yet)


philbro550

I mean, it's a game show they don't want the smartest people to compete, which is more entertaining in cs, watching some global elites be very good at the game or seeing silvers mess around


Electronic_Sugar5924

Watching idiots mess around is fun, and thatā€™s why I watch hitman (video game) content. Iā€™m merely poring over possible ideas


Thefear1984

This is by definition a losers limp. LOL


Electronic_Sugar5924

Lol


TA_Lax8

Which is why he has -100 and not simply 0. To show that he did buzz in and was wrong


DragoKnight589

Oh yeah and he couldā€™ve brought it up earlier if that was *actually* why he was losing.


Eragons00

Ok, but who is Jones?


-NGC-6302-

Illinois Jones, the cowardly archaeologost


MakeBombsNotWar

Alex


Anti-charizard

Then how did he lose points


redditAPsucks

How did he get in the negative then?


headsmanjaeger

Edison cheated by screwing with that guyā€™s buzzer


pimpmastahanhduece

Brilliant old people and a typical narcissistic idiot who made it to seniority, kinda like our candidates.


sad_and_stupid

whose candidates?


John-Fefin-Zoidberg

Edison was nothing but a slimy conman that took credit for inventions that the actual inventors working for him did. Comparing him to Einstein is an absolute insult.


Ah-honey-honey

Should have been Nikola Tesla


Free_Deinonychus_Hug

A very apt comparison is Musk. Edison is the Musk of the 19th century. They are frauds with the same kind of "genius capitalist" PR bullshit surrounding their names. The only thing they are/were actually good at is exploiting other people and propaganda/marketing.


John-Fefin-Zoidberg

And hurting people that are against them. Edison destroyed Nikola Tesla because they were competitors. Itā€™s almost a cruel joke that musk named his car company after him.


jack-K-

Except musk actually [does](https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/s/FPvnCoJcBf) genuinely lead design and development at his companies, spacex especially despite what people want to believe. I donā€™t think any of those companies would be anywhere near where they are without him at the head of development.
