TIL we have LED lightbulb rules but every bulb in home depot has terrible PWM that's bad for your eyes.

Another 20 years and maybe the government will finally address that.

On the tires topic, I'm fine with this as long as they don't ban the sale of anything. Let the consumer decide.

I replaced all the bulbs in my house with incandescents.

They use more electricity, but I don't really care. If we're going to build ten thousand gigawatt datacenters for every corporation on earth to stuff AI up my ass I will do as I please with the lighting in my own home and I rest easy about it, because of the very pleasant, warm, full spectrum glow that incandescents give off when dimmed.

The linked page works fine for me, but when I navigate to any of the other pages (for example: https://flickeralliance.org/collections/flicker-free-light-b...) it just shows me an ad for an Indonesian online casino. Anyone else getting this?

This is an awesome resource, thank you for sharing. I especially love that Amazon basic bulbs are fine for the first on the list.

Yeah, the Philips EyeComfort Flicker Free bulbs. Which HD used to sell. Now it's 90% a couple other brands.

The problem is landlords and normal people just go to home depot so every time I move it's a giant replace bulbs fiasco (or even replacing fixtures).

		Sounds like the problem is HD/Lowes driving all other alternatives out of business.

Can you get (non-LED) lightbulbs you like online?

No. They are illegal.
