To any troll nitpickers: This is a joke! YMMV, not responsible for any Earth-shattering consequences if the Higgs Boson is misapplied in enjoying this JOKE.
I think you are right, The bulbs indeed absorb darkness, as sun does until it is full of darkness and becomes one day a black hole.

Okay. If the light bulbs absorb the darkness how does the darkness get back out when I turn off the lights? I tried putting a bag over the bulbs but it still get dark at night.

Re: The 2021 & 2022 Joke Threads

Why do lightbulbs emit so much darkness, when turned off?
Surely, it would be more efficient to leave the light in the room, when off, not emit all this darkness. Is this a ploy, by light manufacturers, to make us leave our lights on, so they break quicker?

I think the solution may be somewhere in the mist of thermodynamics.

It's like a fridge....people think a fridge puts "cold" into the fridge, but the opposite is true....a fridge takes the "heat" out..

My fridge absorbs the darkness which has the cold in it.

The Nun and the Russian soldier...

A soldier ran up to a nun. Out of breath he asked, “Please, may I hide under your skirt, I'll explain later.”

The nun agreed. A moment later two military police ran up and asked, “Sister, have you seen a soldier?”

The nun replied, “He went that way.”

After the military police ran off, the soldier crawled out from under her skirt and said, “I can't thank you enough Sister. You see, I don't want to go to Ukraine.” The nun said, “I understand completely.” The soldier added, “I hope I'm not rude, but you have a great pair of legs!”

The nun replied, “If you had looked a little higher, you would've seen a great pair of balls. I don't want to go to Ukraine either.”
