minus-squareWeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up13arrow-down1·2 days agoFun fact: there are some big magnets in there. I have a compass on my backpack and it had a lot of trouble when I passed that building.
minus-squareMadison420@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoLots of high voltage and inductors which effect local magnetic fields. Probably not too many permanent magnets though, you can see the same thing at local switching stations of you try.

minus-squarenyaskiez@lemmy.zipOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 days agoAh makes sense. Maybe I’ll ask one of my friends who live there. I heard it’s a cia surveillance building

minus-squareshalafi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down3·edit-22 days agoMight that not be a case of the building having a monster concentration of ferrous metal? EDIT: Apparently lemmy doesn’t believe concentrations of iron affects magnets. Go on. The lack of basic science around here annoys me. Had thought this crowd was smarter than FB Boomers.
minus-squareanomnom@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoIt’s not Gina have a solid iron core or anything, even if it’s meant to be bombproof, it’s mostly going to be reinforced concrete. Could be that the NSA messes with GPS signals there too thwart drones. I was under the impression that it’s an old Bell Telephone trunk/exchange, that has since been repurposed by a federal alphabet soup as a data center.
