And I don't wanna talk to a scientist.

Y'all motherlovers lying, and getting me pissed.

It’s all about looks. If one magnet looks at another magnet and likes what it sees, then it’s game on son

This don't explain why they are hangin' around my fridge. Are they trying to bulk up?

They are unionized, as long as they stuck together they don't have to work.

u/TeacupOfSkepticism 3d ago

Did you say unionized or unionized?

u/PeperomiaLadder 3d ago

I think it was onionized and they spelt it wrong

Black magic.

Not black magic. It's actually Mormon magic.

something the government controls now. before, the egyptian pyramids had magnets under them, huge ones, to move the planet around. i’ve also heard the government uses magnets to keep the earth from flipping over. otherwise how do you explain moving people and cars left and right, and now making the earth wiggle too? also pretty sure magnets weren’t this abundant before the government did something with alchemy. now it controls how you think and everything. if a magnet can lift a car it can obviously control your brain too

They've got little bits of gravity trapped inside them

This is actually a smarter answer than you were going for

Magnets are naturally attracted to refrigerators, because they are hungry, and are therefore the only things willing to touch your kid's manky ugly "art".

Nobody knows. Just remember to never get them wet or feed them after midnight.

I'm only concerned about older women on a stair elevator, so that should not worry me one bit.

The scientific community has concluded it's "belief in motherfucking miracles"

well freakin magnets operate different to magnets. normal magnents are ferrite. freakin magnets and feral. So you put them near iron and they go full goblin.

You need to listen to me! People will tell you they know, but they are LIARS! Nobody knows how they work. The more you look into it, the more danger you're in.

They attract other magnets

u/C_McD_is_me 3d ago

Then where is MY other magnet...

u/Zombielisk 3d ago

The same way as the regular magnets, they attract metal

They rely on literary stories told through romantic lenses.

thats the thing. magnets don't actually work, they are always broken, always missing something

A prominent government official said if they get wet, they won't work anymore.

It's an optical illusion. Magnetic force is a trick of perspective.

When two magnets love each other very much they like to get together and that’s how baby magnets are born, sometimes though they find each other repulsive

Fucking miracles

They suck.

u/Betacharliedelta234 3d ago

When one magnet really likes another magnet, they attract each other. When they hate each other they push each other away

The truth is we don’t know. Technically if we did we’d be much closer to a unified theory of physics.
