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.
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?!
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.
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.
“Fire, Water, Earth and Dirt
Fucking Magnets, how do they work”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.
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.
You fucking wish
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?
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 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 love how that’s actually almost coherent compared to the way he talks now.
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
Holy … fuck.
Juggalo president confirmed?
Just being real for a second, I think those guys are decent folks and anti right wing lunacy.
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.
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.
