Neither carrots or donkeys are magnetic 🙄

    And yet... there is attraction. I propose, until we've studied it enough to come up with a better name, the "donkey carrot attraction force"

    I don't think the carrot is attracted to the donkey the way the donkey is attracted to the carrot...

    Perhaps in a few years, after I've published my paper on Donkey-Carrot-Attraction-Force, you can design an experiment to study the asymmetry of the effect. I look forward to your citations!

    Can this attraction be improved upon? Like if the carrot wears some lipstick or some such?
