Magnets are a really useful thing, particularly in compasses, which allow you to find your way to Epstien Island.
Ignorant and racist.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of voters vote in someone so much like themselves.
“Fire, Water, Earth and Dirt
Fucking Magnets, how do they work”Most of Trump’s sentences resemble the Monte Carlo generated texts of oldie times. Remember the ones where it seemed like someone having an aneurysm is talking? Those ones.
Next thing you know, we have the first Juggalo president.
Ah, a homestuck fan perhaps?
i think having a juggalo president would be a step up from what we have now.
You fucking wish
Could magnets be the dark(er?) gipper’s jelly beans?
wait til he finds out about torrent magnet links
“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 called American
Good thing we fired all those scientists.
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 love how that’s actually almost coherent compared to the way he talks now.
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.
Holy … fuck.
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
He didn’t really say nobody knows what a magnet is in a literal sense, I think it was just his weird way of talking. When criticing trump lets be a little careful since its important to get it right otherwise noone will believe our other critics.
You presume to understand the speakers intention. The speaker is an illiterate trust fund baby child rapist. He literally does not know how magnets work and he believes he is the smartest person on the planet, therefore he thinks no one knows how they work. There is no depth to the logic.
Except he directly said just that.
Generally I agree that often he’ll make some flub and a bigger deal is made of it. Like with the ‘Miracle Mile’ vs. ‘Maginficent Mile’ thing, he said the wrong thing but that’s the least of the problems with that story and a fairly mundane and understandable mistake to make.
This time the statement is exactly as said, though real world consequences for it are similarly low.
He absolutely said nobody knows how magnets work. Sit down.
Well yes, but he meant that he really likes underaged girls.
noone will believe our other critics
LOL what planet have you been living on, and can I get a ride there?
Did you just time travel here from 2016?
they lie a thousand times a day and everyone believes them. We misquote one of them once and we’re liars to never be trusted. Interesting how that works.
A fair point but thats the world we live in. When our opponents abandon truth we have to cherish it more so that we are trusted
That is the world you live in because people like you make it that way by thinking that the us is a land where trust is worth anything politically.

Trump,79, stood in front of servicepeople of the U.S. Navy and said, “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.”
It really does sound like he genuinely doesn’t know what magnets are. What is water got to do with magnets?
Guess there is a reason why they do those dementia tests so often…
I guess if they’re electromagnets water could do some damage, but not to the magnet itself.
The Commander in Chief is spewing senile word salad daily now, I think there is value in highlighting as much of it as possible. He is stupid people’s idea of a smart person, and the more exposed he is as an actual idiot, the more people are exposed to his brain leaking out his ear, the more might have a chance of waking the fuck up.
I like him cause he says what he thinks
You’re right! He said that the magnets are new thing and he personally doesn’t know how they work. It’s so much better, it almost makes perfect sense, very smart president, bigly smart.
No, he very literally said “nobody knows what a magnet is”
The administration is exhausting us by giving us unimportant things to fight about, such as obvious hypocrisy. We get rabid and pour ourselves into making him look stupid and he doesn’t care because it only cost him a few seconds of time, whereas his citizens spent millions of man-hours shouting at him. At the end of the day we’re tired of fighting, and he’s still writing executive orders to pillage our country. It’s deliberate.
Every time you’re tempted to say, “he’s a hypocrite!” just scroll past it and save your energy for the fight that matters.
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.”
“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.”
On the other hand… ”why do things fall down?” Now THERE’S a rabbit hole.
“down” is “just” a name for the direction everything falls.
Why do things fall? What happened to “a body at rest stays at rest”?
Why do things fall?
So they can learn to pick themselves up?
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.
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.
Please stop writing headlines that start with “Trump, 79,” that don’t end with. Well. You know.
… they should instead all end with “, thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Those headlines you’re thinking of don’t start “Trump, 79”. They start, “President Donald John Trump, 79.”
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.”
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.
They started doing it this year to clickbait people into thinking he died
why they play with my feelings like that 😭
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.
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.
The country was founded by literal enslavers. It’s always been dumb AF.
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.
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.
Juggalo president confirmed?
Insane Clown President
I’d rather have violent j & shaggy 2 dope in the white house tbh
Without hesitation.
Whoop whooop!
“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.
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.
Muthafuckin miracles
