The Republican party truly is the Insane Clown Posse.
Magnets, how do they work -Republicans.
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.
“Dunning-Kruger 2028” would make an amusing yard sign.

Insane Clown President
He does wear face paint
And he also sucks
Hey, now. The Insane Clown Posse are anti-Trump. And their album “The Great Milenko” is actually pretty fun to listen to.
That’s good.
The first thing.
I’ll take your word on that last part. Better safe than sorry.
I listen to all types of music…
Beatles, Pink Floyd, NIN, Beck, Prince, Sinatra, Springsteen, Bing Crosby, Debussy, Gaga, Hendrix, Fat Boy Slim, Dr. Dre, DiFranco, Lamar, Hank Williams Sr., Buena Vista Social Club, and B.B. King among many others.
Used to work in a music store so it opened up my ears and mind to several different artists. But yeah, ICP is not for everyone.
Message received loud and clear
That motherfucker’s lying and getting me pissed.
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.
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).
Huh, okay. I don’t really keep up with all of the little fandoms, so thanks for that!
Whenever he tries to repeat the patient, over-simplified explanations that have been given to him and screws it up because he still didn’t understand what they were talking about, I picture the scenes that must be occurring on a regular basis:
People standing around him, some drawing pictures, others arranging things on the table, “Say this coffee mug is the nuclear enrichment facility, and this pen is the Tomahawk missile. It goes woooooooooooooooooo through the sky…”
So, basically In English, Please?
Tide comes in, tide goes out. Can’t explain that
The Erath is flat. Can’t explain that either.
Insane Clown Posse as president and vice president would be an upgrade. Actually, America needs a third party anyway. Next election, someone run under the Insane Clown Party banner. Might as well let an actual carnival take over.
Expect a circus elect some clowns.
Totally forgot this happened. I think this strengthens my point.
Remember when a person this fucking stupid couldn’t get elected the highest officer in the States?
Twice.
Nope. But then, Reagan had Nancy at his side to provide the smarts.
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
I won’t lie, I wasn’t sure how magnets worked when I read the headline. Realizing this, I went and looked it up and educated myself.
Magnets are fucking cool btw.
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.
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.
everything is projection with these anti-intellectual shitbags. they don’t understand how ANYTHING fucking works, beyond the grift, and therefore NO ONE could possibly know.
dear god hard drive disks alone… so fucking dumb.
Here’s the smarter way of saying it:
Why are there so many comments on that vid about insane clown posse? Weird seeing as how this post also mentions them. I’m sure there’s a reference I’m missing but icp sucks and I’m not tryna care enough to listen to garbage.
ICP have a meme-famous lyric that goes thusly:
Water fire air and dirt, fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist, Y’all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed.
Why is this notion that science is some great scam so prominent in American culture? Where does it come from? Is it just that people don’t understand it and want to feel better about their ignorance?
Yeah, you pretty much get it. Although it’s not about feeling better about their ignorance exactly. It’s that scientists keep telling them to stop doing things that they want to do, and they don’t like being told what to do. Stop beating your kids, stop burning so much gas, stop depleting the biome in your farm soil, stop torturing animals because they have feelings, stop treating women like they are intellectually stunted, etc.
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’
Isaac Asimov said this almost fifty years ago. It still doesn’t answer the “why” but it shows how long (at least) this has been going on.
Is this a Tesla spinoff??
No. The resultant object will just reach equilibrium on one of it’s sides.
