I don't know, i don't know what kind of light bulb to get, there's like 57 dozen varieties and I don't want to start a fire
My dad's just like "yup that's a standard 800 lumen bulb"
(That's not my hand btw)

The standard size screw in North America is E26, same as this bulb, an Edison screw with a 26mm diameter. If your fixture or lamp is different from that, it's going to be way different and is probably looking for one of those candelabra bulbs, probably an E12. It will be labeled on the lamp.
As long as it fits in your fixture, you can pretty much use any LED bulb that screws in. The real wattage is what matters, not which incandescent bulb has the same size or light output.
I replaced all the bulbs in my place with tuneable ZigBee smart bulbs, and I use a piece of software called Adaptive Lighting to change the brightness and color temperature of all the lights throughout the day in order to better support a healthy circadian rhythm. It's been helpful for our sleep cycle and depression!
