The Republican party truly is the Insane Clown Posse.

Magnets, how do they work -Republicans.

    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.

    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

    This is that bell curve meme with Trump on the left side and Richard Feynman on the right. Funny how true it is that dipshits and geniuses often say the same things. When asked how magnets work, Feynman concluded his explanation with:

    I’m not going to be able to give you an answer to “why do magnets attract each other”, except to tell you that they do.

      Sure.

      But once you boil down absolutely any physical effect… gravity, light, sound, (literally everything) you eventually get to that point.

      The answer to any “why”, after a certain number of follow-up “whys” is always always always “we don’t know”, irrespective of the original question.

      Magnets aren’t at all special in this regard.

      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.

        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.

    Is this Donald j Trump, self avowed best friend of Jeffrey r Epstein, and fellow child rapist?

      Yes, that’s the one! Famously buddies with Epstein and credibly accused of sexual assault of children on several occasions. Convicted felon Trump, the very same.

        Do you mean the same Donald J Trump who was convicted of Sexually Assaulting E. Jean Carroll?

        Because if so, that’s almost like being a Serial Rapist. I’d say raping someone is just about as bad as murdering them, wouldn’t you agree? Totally unrelated, just a random curiosity.

          Oh, most definitely. I’d say rape could be actually worse than murder. The murdered person is dead. The raped person is still alive and has to deal with the trauma.

    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.

      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).

    Everyone says…

    No one knows…

    He really believes his thoughts are the totality of human knowledge.
