What it means

A four-panel meme shows Thomas Edison introducing himself, a strange pixelated face asking who he is, Edison claiming to have invented the object, and a hand affectionately holding a light bulb. The joke comes from the absurdly intimate reaction to Edison’s famous association with the invention of the practical light bulb, while the distorted face adds surreal confusion.
