u"Chat Channel: Tesla's Open Chat

Tesla's Congregation is a highly enthusiastic\u2014some might say overcharged\u2014society devoted to the life, legacy, and questionable fashion choices of Nikola Tesla. Members gather weekly in basements, garages, and any room with at least three overloaded power strips to \u201ccommune with the current.\u201d
Core Beliefs
- Electricity is sacred, especially when it makes that satisfying bzzzzzt noise.
- Pigeons are divine messengers, because Tesla liked them and that\u2019s good enough for everyone.
- Edison is the arch\u2011nemesis, and all lightbulbs must be screwed in counterclockwise as a symbolic act of rebellion.
Rituals
- The Ceremony of the Coil, where initiates stand in a circle and attempt to power a toaster using only their \u201cinner voltage.\u201d
- The Annual Wardenclyffe Pilgrimage, which mostly involves standing near a tower-shaped object and arguing about wireless power.
- The Sacred Static Handshake, which is just aggressively shuffling across a carpet before greeting someone.
Dress Code
- Lab coats (preferably singed).
- Hair styled to look like they\u2019ve just stuck a fork in an outlet.
- Copper bracelets \u201cfor conductivity and vibes.\u201d
Leadership
The group is led by the High Conductor, who is chosen through a solemn and ancient ritual: whoever can produce the biggest spark with a Van de Graaff generator becomes leader until someone else tops it."
