The Republican party truly is the Insane Clown Posse.
Magnets, how do they work -Republicans.
Tide comes in, tide goes out. Can’t explain that
The Erath is flat. Can’t explain that either.
Someone probably tried to teach him how rare earths are important to manufacture electronics like he is five years old. And like a five year old he is, he of course didn’t understand.
Donald Trump spouting a Juggalo-adjacent line wasn’t on my bingo card.
I’m lost for words. Every time he says something, it’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard. And I always think to myself, this is it. this is peak stupid. There is no way he can say something dumber than this with a straight face.
I really thought we peaked when he tried to tell their Navy, that they don’t know what happens when you put water on a magnet. The god damn navy.
But here we are. With the president of the USA, telling us, with a straight face, being serious, that no one knows how magnets work. Next he’ll probably try to tell us we don’t know how electricity works.
I believe Faraday and Maxwell would like a word…
Remember when a person this fucking stupid couldn’t get elected the highest officer in the States?
Twice.
I used to like to think that maybe all his predecessors were just better at hiding it. But then he says something like this and I just can’t
Nope. But then, Reagan had Nancy at his side to provide the smarts.
And Nancy had her astrologer.
Trump is the sort of person who is so self-centered, he probably doesn’t understand that other people know things he doesn’t. People like him tend to be conspiracy theorists because they assume anything they don’t understand has to be a lie
Non fucking stop winning! Look at this man. The smartest man in the world! Y’all wish you were a fraction of a percent as smart of this guy. Your IQ like 1600% lower than his. What a fucking legend.
Also, he’s a pedophile and rapist.
Fake it till ya make it right?
I have no particular love for ICP, but man, they don’t deserve that.
Damn, that’s crazy, where are the Epstein files?
Under a pile of Chinese magnets - but no one knows how or why they work so they’re frightened of touching them incase they get wet, stop working and the world stops turning.
Probably in the process of being shredded and redacted.
Pardon my hopium, I do hope it’s not misplaced -
Given that it was a blackmail operataion among other things, and it would be mutually assured destruction if any holder of the documents tried to redact themselves and expose others. There must be some level of proliferation of at least partial copies of beyond incriminating evidence on a larger swath of people in current power that we could possibly know now.
They wouldn’t be above using it in party infighting, but there’s no “faction” within the republican party with enough institutional power to get away with the backblow if they were to try to excise certain members. Which does mean there’s still a clock on this, but the fact that they haven’t just released with Bill and Hilary as the only two on the flight logs and dropped it, leads me to believe that this is the stalemate they’re collectively in.
What are files? Files - how do they work?
Probably saw it in some passing meme while he endlessly scrolls Twitter and Truth Social between golf and Mar a Lago.
Dear MAGA, I’ve a magical formula with which I can create magnet just by using some copper and electricity. If you give me 10Billion USD I’ll help you make as much magnets as you want. \s
On the other hand, I’ve never heard a really good explanation of magnetic flux that doesn’t involve a bit of circular reasoning.
Everyone says…
No one knows…
He really believes his thoughts are the totality of human knowledge.
This is common with these sociopaths. Our middle-aged techbro overlords too are hugely ignorant, yet convinced that the only knowledge worth having is what they already know, and the only jobs worth doing are the ones they can do.
Welcome to the Dunning-Kruger administration.

There was a British comedian I remember from a while back… Matt something… that talked about meeting a Texan couple on a plane once and the wife expressed her amazement at the marvel of flight, which is fair because flight is pretty amazing. But instead of just being amazed, she then said something like, “we’ll never know how it all works”. Like a collective we, like everyone. Like she thinks that aerospace engineers are just guessing, trying out throwing shapes into the sky until something doesn’t drop to the ground. “Nope. Sphere didnt do it. Probably shouldn’t have filled that one with people, either. Let’s try the cube next!”
Some people are so stupid they don’t realize that they are stupid and that plenty of people, MOST people, in fact, are smarter than them and understand a lot of stuff they don’t. Like it’s not even Dunning-Kreuger because they dont know the first thing about the subject at all, and they will even admit that often times. Just unadulterated hubris to assume their ignorance is universal.
Everything is simple if you don’t know anything about it.
The God Emperor of man wills it, that’s how flight works
Ignorance is bliss.
Isn’t there some question about the specifics of the mechanism of lift itself? Not like “this shouldn’t be possible!” but more “it’s easier to explain than it is to understand”
No, the science and engineering is well understood and can be calculated entirely in models that use this knowledge to precisely predict thinks like lift and drag. There is no guess work or mystery about it.
However the common “facts” that we are often taught as explanation to children and the layperson for lift are wrong and/or incomplete. The Equal Transit Theory, i.e. the idea that when a wing splits the air, the air above and below must meet at the same time on the back of the wing causing the air on top to have to move faster due to the greater distance to travel, is just not true.
However that lower pressure above the wing that doesnt actually result from the Equal Transit Theory, that part is true. It is caused by the deflection of air on the underside of the wing causing the higher pressure underneath and lower pressure over the top. Lower pressure over the wing does in fact cause a component of lift due to Bernoulli’s Principle. But it is also not the entirety of the source of lift. Other components include the Coanda Effect from the curvature of the wing redirecting air downward, as well as the just simple propulsion caused by the propeller(s)or jet(s) and downward deflection of air hitting the underside of the wing, which is basic Newtonian motion (3rd law).
