actually not really - hot specifies HOT; if it were room temp, warm, warmer than another that sat unused - sure. but you’re only flipping it on for a short time. HOT?

it’s pedantic, but parsing is important here because some HR shitwad decided these silly stupid games were a valid hiring method on filtering pedants apparently

note the premise specifies HOT.

none of my LED bulbs get hot even after hours. they do warm up from ‘cold’ but HOT?

ymmv.

if the bulb is hot

if hot they’re using out of date lighting, who the fuck uses incandescent bulbs this far into the 21st century? they have failed their interview with me.
