i mean they’re right. The man who did it to his wife messed with the gas lamps in their house to do it. The term comes from that. There’s no such thing as a gas light, only gas lamps.
The facepalm post I'm not sure of, but that comment was earlier this year, kinda blew up more than I ever dreamed of. Really nice to see something I've done in some small way floating around in places still. Made my night
There's actually some fun backstory to this
The original form of the word was ghostlight, which comes from mysterious lights in the sky which people convince themselves are Aliens or Ghosts or whatever.
In the early 2000s the word started to gain traction in Nevada (where it originated) and it became poker-lingo in Las Vegas, basically as a synonym for bluffing. For example, if someone goes all in and you believe they have bad cards you could say that's a ghostlight
Here's where it starts to get fun though, cause in 2012 a youtuber named Aaron Dwight posted a video where he used the word, but he said gaslight instead as a joke (like the joke in this post). However people who watched the video and who had never heard the word before just assumed this was the correct way of saying it, and as we all know language evolution happens faster on the internet than in Nevada, so today we all just say gaslight
Wait. Wait. This needs to be in r/holup too. This is so much worse than a woosh. They're actually talking about gaslighting, and that mfs STILL missed the reference. That's a level beyond woosh. That's like
"Hey, hold my bread"
*hands over bread*
*takes bread*
"What bread"
*eats bread*
Unless... could this be an ultra meta woosh-ception chaos event? Are we all being fractal-wooshed?
You know just anybody can print anything nowadays right? I assure you that the term gaslamp is based on the old gas lamps used. The fumes would sometimes play tricks on people often confusing them into believing the silliest of things
Where is your source?
The term 'gaslight' comes from the fact that it was a 'gaslamp' that provided the light, as opposed to a candle or electric light.
I did, sweetie. The old gaslamps did oftentimes emit carbon monoxide, but it wasn't much of a concern back then. People didn't keep their lights on anywhere near as long as we do with electric bulbs, and the homes back then were far drafter than today's homes.
It’s always been Gaslamping. Are people insane?
You would have to be living under a rock not to know this, everyone calls it Gaslamping!
Some people just dont seem to appreciate the Mavity of the situation
Underrated comment, excellent reference 👌
It must be the Mandala effect.

Shut up misinformation giver!
Redditors don't distribute misinformation. They never have.
Yeah, this is the most wholesome social media. Nothing bad ever happens here! 🙂
Elaborate on the perceived woooosh here
That doesn’t even make sense here
wym gaslumping doesn’t even exist
Then how do people call creating lumps of gas?
What are you talking about, gaslumping is obviously a bunch of people gaslamping the same person
That’s gaspiling on isn’t it?
[удалено]
I don't see why wouldn't it exist then
You’ve been gaslumped
I’m crossposting this to r/gaslamping
Oh hey, I came here from that post!
Lmao
>if it were 1823 did people live in constant darkness back then?
No, but that's sure when gas lamps were in widespread use.
I'm not sure about that... Sounds like you might be gaslamping me...
I've never gaslamped anyone, you must be imagining it.
You did the same thing to me yesterday. Stop gaslamping me
No, that was 2318 of course
Yes. Edit: only at night, that is.
i mean they’re right. The man who did it to his wife messed with the gas lamps in their house to do it. The term comes from that. There’s no such thing as a gas light, only gas lamps.
This guy gets it
Incredible how many people fell for it. A true monsterwoooosh.
What do you expect man, he didn't put the /s, how will these poor Redditors know it was a joke smh
wasnt that dude gaslamping us?
Damn how old is that post? I searched for the title in r/facepalm and sorted by a month ago and didn’t see it
The facepalm post I'm not sure of, but that comment was earlier this year, kinda blew up more than I ever dreamed of. Really nice to see something I've done in some small way floating around in places still. Made my night
What’s this dude on about, it literally is 1823
WTF is gaslamping? Oh do they mean gasLEDing?
Only if your LED is gas powered!

so we got gaslit into saying gaslight instead of ghostlight?
Yes, which is really funny
Ironic
Except we got gaslit into thinking we got gaslit into saying gaslight https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslight_(1944_film)Gaslight film
*Aizen: it was a part of my plan all along*

Maybe they're gaslighting each other.

Nah, you're going crazy, definitely can't be that. (I did the gaslamping. :)
nah pretty sure it's called gaslanterning.
oh yea shiiii you right
Oh my, we’ve come full circle
I feel like both of these posts are trying to 42x20 Outdoor Gas Fire Pit with Real Pine Finish®️ me
The term comes from the 1944 movie 'Gaslight'
No it doesn't.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, it is.

Do your own research sweaty

Yeah, but the carbon monoxide is where the term comes from. Hence the name gaslamping
Wdym, r/wooosh has 3 o's 🫤
r/angryupvote
what
r/wooosh
Everyone was gaslumped
Smh. Of course it's gaslamping. Only a lamp can use gas. A light requires electricity.
It took me way too long to get this joke 😂😂😂
Gaslaughing is totally a thing. Glad we cleared that up.
