Ok, not in the US so idk. the last CFL bulb I bought was long before 2009.
Either way, the brain still uses more power than a 13W CFL, and the tumblr post is from 2018, and the Reddit post is even more recent. “It would have been technically correct if it was posted 20 years ago” doesn’t really change the fact that it’s not true anymore
LED was available in the early 2000s I have a few remaining LED lights from about 2001 (and definitely from before 2004) still working. They are much heavier than modern LED lights due to large finned heat sinks and didn’t fit in my nicer light fittings. They weren’t in supermarkets then, you had to look for them, I may have bought them online
