I’ll tell you how magnets work.
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.
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.
“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.
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?
Magnets are a really useful thing, particularly in compasses, which allow you to find your way to Epstien Island.
Well, maybe he just watched the Richard Feynman video shoot magnets?
If you’re gonna post paywalls, at least quote the good parts. Y’all think we can afford to pay for news in this economy?!
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.
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.
Ah, a homestuck fan perhaps?
You fucking wish
The only problem is that any answer can be followed up with “But why does x do/cause that?”, and any answer to that can in turn be followed by the same question.
People accept, the classical explanation, that mass attracts mass so gravity “makes sense”, but when it comes to magnets the explanation isn’t so natural-feeling so most want, or at least feel that there is, more of an explanation.
And when the only further explanation left is that it works that way because it does, people feel like the phenomena has gone unanswered.
wait til he finds out about torrent magnet links
Could magnets be the dark(er?) gipper’s jelly beans?
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.
“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?
The thing with old people talking gibberish is that you never know if they are on drugs, or didn’t have enough drugs.
Good thing we fired all those scientists.
It’s called American
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 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.
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 love how that’s actually almost coherent compared to the way he talks now.
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
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 😭
