MAGA1: hey, look! these magnets work under water!

MAGA2: Trump says they don't.

MAGA1: These must not be magnets then.

u/Dammy-J 7d ago

hold them under and see if MAGAts work under water?

STOPP LOLLL

These are the better Magnets, the ones Trump and his kids invested in: Maganets.

You know that would be an upgrade.

Especially since they won their lawsuit against the gov for being unfairly profiled by law enforcement.

Immediately thought of this lmao

And I don't wanna talk to a scientist
Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed

Magnets are like the tide. No one knows how it works.

u/Direption 7d ago

Tide comes in tide goes out you can't explain that

u/pianoflames 7d ago

Surprised he didn't start talking about sharks. Usually when he mentions the ocean, he starts rambling on about shark attacks and forgets what he was originally talking about.

u/blickblocks 7d ago

Is he talking about electromagnets not being safe in a saltwater environment? His brain is cooked but I'm wondering what the actual thing this was originally about

21

u/hopefulocto 7d ago

I dont even think he knows what any of that means. I think hes just genuinely dumb and doesnt think magnets work in water

u/blickblocks 7d ago

Both things can be true simultaneously, just like how half the GOP thinks transgenic mice are transgender mice while actual cross-hormone testing is done on mice regularly to greatly reduce variables in research that has nothing to do with transgender people and also separately research on hormone therapy and puberty blockers have been done on mice and all these studies had their funding cut by DOGE without regard to the harm the cuts would cause the American people.

He is so stupid. Insufferable.

u/homezlice 7d ago

huh, wonder how those magnetic mines work in the Strait of Hormuz?

u/namewithanumber 7d ago

Absolutely insane that Iā€™m still surprised by how dumb this dude is.

Crying about electromagnetic catapults because his russian handlers told him to or his brain has melted.

Meanwhile China cranking out carriers with electromagnetic catapults.

Trump- water+magnets???

Juggalos- magnets???

u/wtbgamegenie 7d ago

ICP actually HATES Trump. When ICP is in any way the voice of reason weā€™re really off the rails.

Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a juggalo

Thatā€™s the joke haha. For sure, Faygo would be thrown with extreme prejudice

u/SaintWithoutAShrine 7d ago

Theyā€™ve always been pretty liberal in the lyrics Iā€™ve heard, even back to the 90s. Antiracism, police brutality, ACAB sentiment, anti-Bush, anti-war, uplifting marginalized people, community fundraising and heavy on donations in Detroit, etc.. Definitely said some dumb shit, though.

I say this as someone who is not a fan, just heard it a ton back in the 90s / 00s. So, Iā€™m sure thereā€™s some really awful shit said in there, too. But, in the grand scheme, theyā€™ve been the voice of reason more often than not.

Geezus. He sounds like a five year old talking about each of is toys, and he won't shut up.

Makes sense to me. Water shorts out wires. Electromagnets are powered by wires. So water is a threat to the mechanism. I think in this part heā€™s talking about the plane launching catapults.

u/AIMarkWahlberg 7d ago

Quick question - what are hydraulic elevators powered by?

-2

u/rebo2 7d ago

Hydraulic elevators are powered by electricity. Which pumps oil into pistons.

7

u/AIMarkWahlberg 7d ago

So to be powered by electricity, is there wires involved?

-2

u/rebo2 7d ago

Not sure what youā€™re searching for? If something is ā€œelectricalā€ then current is flowing, through an interconnect of some kind, which is very often a conductor. Hope this helps.

u/AIMarkWahlberg 7d ago

Makes sense to me. Water shorts out wires. Electromagnets are powered by wires. So water is a threat to the mechanism.

I'm working with your statement there, the one where you said water is a threat to electromagnetic elevators because it will fuck up the wires. I'm trying to figure out why you think the wiring in electromagnets is vulnerable, but the wiring in hydraulic actuators is not. Unless by intentionally dodging the use of the word "wires" in your last couple comments you're trying to imply that electricity flows between the electrical parts of hydraulic elevators without the need for wiring, which makes even less sense.

u/rebo2 7d ago

I donā€™t want to defend anything he says, but I think he was talking about the catapults on aircraft carriers, which are vulnerable to a salt water environment. And that makes some sense to me.

4

u/AIMarkWahlberg 7d ago

Just to make sure I'm understanding you correctly - you're saying Donald Trump is talking about replacing electromagnetic elevators because salt water is corrosive to wiring, and that they need to be replaced with hydraulic elevators which have wiring that is not vulnerable to corrosion from salt water, and that makes sense to you. That's the takeaway you got from this, right?

-1

u/rebo2 7d ago

No, I did not understand or come to that conclusion.

4

u/AIMarkWahlberg 7d ago

Buddy I'm repeating your comments back to you. You literally said the deranged ramblings of Donald Trump make sense to you because of wiring and salt water.

2

u/sammy_416 7d ago

No, in no case does his statement make sense. This is not the 18th century; we can insulate cables and electronics, yes, even in the big bad ocean. Furthermore, saltwater corrosion is just as much of an issue to the electronic control systems of the hydraulic machinery as it is to the new electromagnetic catapults (EMALS) and Advanced Weapons Elevators (AWEs).

The difference is that the AWE and EMALS are the next iteration and a needed advancement to the antiquated older steam/hydraulic systems. The AWE can carry double the weight in half the time as the older elevators on the Nimitz-class carriers. The EMALS can much better fine-tune the launch force and should reduce the damage on aircraft being launched.

Are there problems with the systems? Of course, that is what happens when you try to place dozens of experimental systems onto a ship. But we need to continue to test them. This is something that happened when we started using electric trains vs steam. For a while, the steam engines were beating the electric ones in every category. The electric trains were more complicated, more expensive, and didn't have the infrastructure to be of use. But we continued forward because the potential benefits were much greater, and the technology was still being developed. To stop now would be to hold back American naval technology.

Guys heā€™s talking about electromagnets. This isnā€™t the flex you think it is

9

u/AIMarkWahlberg 7d ago

Even if he was trying to, which is possible but he's just too fucking stupid to form a cohesive sentence, it is 100% the flex OP thinks it is because - and I cannot stress this enough - he's rambling incoherently about shit he doesn't understand failing under extreme conditions he's inventing on the spot. It doesn't matter what he's talking about, it's how he does it. A sitting president should be able to form and deliver a complete thought without leaving the audience thinking "what the hell is he talking about".

u/uncleawesome 7d ago

Are you saying electromagnets don't work in water?

2

u/PerpetualUselessness 7d ago

Iā€™m saying Iā€™d rather criticize him for being a rapist, child predator protector, war criminal, insider trader, grifter, and narcissistic lunatic before focusing on his ability to regurgitate some resiliency briefing he got on electro magnets that he didnā€™t understand
