I’ll tell you how magnets work.
“Fire, Water, Earth and Dirt
Fucking Magnets, how do they work”“And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist. Motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed.”
If only there was some way to check if they are lying.
Please stop writing headlines that start with “Trump, 79,” that don’t end with. Well. You know.
Those headlines you’re thinking of don’t start “Trump, 79”. They start, “President Donald John Trump, 79.”
Unf, stop. It makes me feel things as I read that out in my head, then let down and blocked like the cat just jumped on the bed and threw up right near the end.
Gonna be alotta dem politicians mourning the loss and saying nice things about dude.
“I think for the past decade, we can all agree that I’ve been one of the biggest critics of President Trump. There have been times when he’s done things that I thought were worthy of praise, for example, when he negotiated the release of the remaining Israeli hostages in their conflict with Palestine. But nothing he’s done in his entire political career is as praiseworthy as what he did earlier today. He demonstrated today that he could put the needs of the American people first, and for that, I think we should all thank him.”
They started doing it this year to clickbait people into thinking he died
why they play with my feelings like that 😭
… they should instead all end with “, thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Next thing you know, we have the first Juggalo president.
i think having a juggalo president would be a step up from what we have now.
“Divert all subsidies from corn to Faygo.”
“Yes sir, whoop whoop.”
I would trust an impoverished juggalo with the concept of family over the current situation.
I’d trust a rabid weasel who communicates with a speak & spell more than the current situation.
So you support Vance?
You fucking wish
Ah, a homestuck fan perhaps?
Juggalo president confirmed?
Insane Clown President
“gUys He’s obViouSly reFeReNcing tHe iCp mEme, because we all know this dude is deep into Internet country¡”-someone’s serious take on this when they’re confronted with it.
I’d rather have violent j & shaggy 2 dope in the white house tbh
Without hesitation.
Whoop whooop!
He’d be hated amongst the jugs. They don’t play to that fiddle.
Violent Jay loves his mom
Is this a joke that’s going over my head?
It’s just a quote from Violent Jay during the last election when ICP last had 5 minutes in the corporate media, it’s the reason he gives for voting for democrats
Ah I gotcha. Thank you.
Just being real for a second, I think those guys are decent folks and anti right wing lunacy.
Muthafuckin miracles
Ignorant and racist.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of voters vote in someone so much like themselves.
You forgot the pedophile part. It’s now pretty much confirmed.
Confirmed…Did I miss an update?
Parts of the Epstein files leaked.
“You know, the new thing is magnets. So instead of using hydraulic that can be hit by lightning, and it’s fine. You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets. I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
Is that even English?
It’s as English as this is
Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.
I generally get more coherent sentences out of just repeatedly tapping my keyboard on my phone and letting auto correct just make things up…
The thing about Trump is the point of the world cup method of the world cup method of the game for the purposes of the world cup method of the world cup method of the world cup method of the league of the league of the league of the year and the company is a good idea for a while and I don’t think so but I don’t think.
Yeah, maybe not. But honestly it’s close.
I can never get over the fact that this is real. I have seen this quote so often - and I’ve seen the video of him actually saying the words!- but still it seems surreal to me. The “Look, having nuclear”-quote. One for the history books, for sure.
It’ll be a historic speech and require mandatory memorization for school children in the future idiocracy
“I say, what would happen if the boat sank from its weight, and you’re in the boat, and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater. And there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there, …By the way, lot of shark attacks lately, I watched some guys justifying it today. ‘Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood who she was. He said ‘there’s no problem with sharks, they just didn’t really understand a young woman’s swimming. She really got decimated and other people too, a lot of shark attacks. So I said, there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, do I get electrocuted? If the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking, do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted? Or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?Because I will tell you he didn’t know the answer. He said, ‘you know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.’ I said I think it’s a good question. I think there’s a lot of electric current coming to that water. But you know what I’d do? If there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark.
Holy … fuck.
I love how that’s actually almost coherent compared to the way he talks now.
Good thing we fired all those scientists.
The thing with old people talking gibberish is that you never know if they are on drugs, or didn’t have enough drugs.
It’s called American
wait til he finds out about torrent magnet links
What everyone glosses over and completely never see.
Is that this idiot represents the entire country.
If you have an idiot for a leader.
Logic says, your country is full of idiots.
Logic says, your country is full of idiots.
Yeah, we went through this already, George Bush the Second made you guys look very stupid
Little did I know that the extreme low of W was actually a relatively high point.
It was less obvious because the world was less connected and not everyone had a high quality video camera in their pocket.
The media could also be relied upon to edit in a favourable manner. That’s still the case today, but he can’t get away from the fact that every time he shows up, people film him, because he’s always going to say something stupid. The idea that he might manage to have a normal day and not say something insanely dumb, is just inconceivable.
did you live through the Bush presidency, or are you making assumptions based on the times? Because the media tore Bush to absolute shreds and painted him as a gigantic idiot.
Pretty sure the hegemonic narrative had W as savior of the planet after 911.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictionalized_portrayals_of_George_W._Bush
Bush was the target of satire for most of his presidency. Most fictional depictions of the President in popular media tend to emphasize his drawl and tendency to use incorrect grammar and malapropisms in speeches, as well as his sometimes awkward hand and facial gestures. Bush is often depicted in caricatures with a large nose and ears, and small eyes, giving him a somewhat chimpanzee-like appearance. This is exemplified in a Fruit of the Loom shirt design in which he is compared to the children’s book character Curious George. He is also sometimes drawn in political cartoons as being short in stature.
Most fictionalized portrayals of George W. Bush have been perceived as negative.
tbf, he really is the perfect representation of a large subsection of the US population, rich, middle/working class, poor…
he’s dumb as shit and acquired everything because of his name (wasting most of that fortune/legacy to boot).
The pale skinned subsection.
Exactly right…
You know those old cartoons that were totally not politically correct showing a bad stereotype of a Mexican, with a sombrero and a poncho, sleeping off a tequila bender under the shade of a cactus?
Well, the orange pedophile is EXACTLY the American version of that: confidently ignorant, morbidly obese, with undeserved resources, zero education, zero manners, zero culture.
We all know those stereotypes are supposed to be rude jokes barely based on any reality… I mean, there are cacti in Mexico and I am sure more than one Mexican has had a Tequila bender, but there is never the expectation you’ll go to Mexico and actually see that.
And now, Muricans proved theirs not only exists, it is what they look up to apparently.
That is like France choosing this guy as their next President
The country was founded by literal enslavers. It’s always been dumb AF.
I agree. The middle of the bell curve is woefully inadequate. Those dingalings.
I suppose if we’ve got Einstein and Hawking we must have people like Trump to balance it out.
Einstein was born in Germany and spent much of his life (including the portion where he did a lot of his most significant work) in Switzerland. He only moved to the United States towards the end of his life.
Hawking was born in the UK and lived his entire life there.
I mean, in the same way that no one knows for certain what matter really is.
But that really doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files, provide healthcare for the US, and stop imprisoning my friends and neighbors
We (meaning you, because I’m not american) will accept one of the two latter too.
In 2020 I began my studies at Uni. Our music business lecturer always had nice ppts prepared for the class and most of the time he either had couple of fidget spinner memes or “fucking magnets, how do they work” memes. Brings back memories.
They just do.
I once said “Some people living in 2025 aren’t very far advanced from people who lived in the Dark Ages” (or Middle Age, whatever). Then somebody replied “… but they are wearing nice suits!”. That’s about the difference. The layer of modern civilization is thin.
Wikipedia has some interesting parts about it as well:
The Dark Ages is a term, now deprecated by most historians, for the Early Middle Ages (c. 5th–10th centuries), or occasionally the entire Middle Ages (c. 5th–15th centuries), in Western Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, which characterises it as marked by economic, intellectual, and cultural decline.
The concept of a “Dark Age” as a historiographical periodization originated in the 1330s with the Italian scholar Petrarch, who regarded the post-Roman centuries as “dark” compared to the “light” of classical antiquity.[1][2] The term employs traditional light-versus-darkness imagery to contrast the era’s supposed darkness (ignorance and error) with earlier and later periods of light (knowledge and understanding).[
Doesn’t seem so far away now does it.
I tried dipping my electromagnet in water and Trump was right! It lost it’s magnetism!
To be fair: "A magnet works because negatively charged electrons repel each other. "
"Why do negatively charged electrons repel each other? "
“… Well … Ok, so hear me out. You’re going to need to understand quantum mechanics and then the fermion principal. Then you’ll know that the electrons aren’t allowed to occupy the same space, and the easiest way to avoid being in the same space is to not touch each other. The electrons know they aren’t allowed to touch because they’ve studied fermions.”
None of that is correct though.
Permanent magnets attract/repel because of aligned current loops in the material. It’s an electrodynamic effect that’s not related to Pauli Exclusion.
Yes it is.
I’ve used magnets to cook rice, build motors, and a variety of misc dumb shit between but I have no idea of if any of this or the other post is even real
Just as God intended.

That dude shared the Nobel prize for Quantum Electrodynamics, and is a legend of teaching physics. That few minutes might not teach you all about magnets, but it might convince you that understanding them is a a big big question.
Another interesting thing about Feyman’s video is that since the time he made this, the reason of why ice is slippery has actually changed, and his long-standing theory is no longer observed as correct. It’s a different reason, involving dipoles.
There’s a wonderful video fragment where a journalist asks Richard Feynman, the Great Explainer, why magnets attract or repel each other. It goes on a tangent about how a minimum baseline of knowledge is required for any answer to the question “why”, to basically end with “it’s electromagnetism”.
It’s been posted as a link in this comment thread, actually. He kinda just skates around the question. Lol
On the other hand… ”why do things fall down?” Now THERE’S a rabbit hole.
I don’t think there’s anything necessarily wrong in simplifying a subject and allowing that simplified answer to be the one the public knows
I think it’s acceptable to simply say that magnets of the same polarity repel each other, and not going to the explanation as to why. It’s up to people if they want to understand that, and they can seek that information out themselves.
Also I think it’s perfectly acceptable to explain gravity as a force that pulls things down. Trying to go into the whole area of space time and light cones is unnecessary for the casual explanation.
I would not think any less of a political leader if their understanding of magnets was simply the basic one that everybody else knows. But I absolutely would think less of my leader if he appeared not to even have a high school level understanding of magnetism. It would make me worry about what other things everybody else knows, that apparently he does not.
Yep. And for the most part the answer you’ll get is just that "these are universal forces. Excepted as observably true, but the why is seemingly unknown beyond “it’s a universal force.”
We can mostly know what magnets are doing, but answering why it’s a universal force that just is, is a different matter. We just know electrons really don’t wanna touch each other, and I’m assuming if they did, matter wouldn’t exist.
“down” is “just” a name for the direction everything falls.
Why do things fall? What happened to “a body at rest stays at rest”?
What happened to “a body at rest stays at rest”?
If no net forces are applied to that body. That’s what.
I think you may have taken me too seriously, but if so that’s a very dismissive response. I think your reply would be improved by describing at least one (nigh-universal, so it applies to “things” in general) force and saying why it exists.
Why do things fall?
So they can learn to pick themselves up?
“The stuff that stuff is made of has sticky lines around it, that’s sort of how they stick together. We can line up the stuff that stuff is made of in a way that makes those lines stretch out and stick to things further away. Everything is magnets.”
Funny that people pick this specific statement out of a long and aimless rambling. This specific statement isnt even that wrong depending on its interpretation. Isnt it more important to note that he confidently rambles like a senile lunatic?
