Meanwhile the US has a president who doesn't understand how magnets work.

    I get you, the guy's an idiot, but to be fair most people don't know how magnets work.

    Stop doing magnets.

    Inanimate objects were never meant to be attracted to each other.

    Years of sticking yet no real world use found.

    Wanted to join things just for a laugh? We had a tool for that it was called glue.

    "Magnetism and electricity are two sides of the same coin” "attraction decreases with the inverse square of distance” - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

    Look at what magnematicians have been demanding your respect for all this time with all the funding we have given them.

    “hello I would like an invisible force please”

    They have played us for absolute fools.

    we invented magnets and all that we used them for were lousy terawatt-scale power generation units.

    Yeah, I had a TA explain it in college and none of the physics 2 students understood, which to be fair, she warned us would be the case. I only understand magnetism on the practical macro scale, and most people don't even understand that.
