Juggalo president confirmed?
Insane Clown President
“gUys He’s obViouSly reFeReNcing tHe iCp mEme, because we all know this dude is deep into Internet country¡”-someone’s serious take on this when they’re confronted with it.
I’d rather have violent j & shaggy 2 dope in the white house tbh
Without hesitation.
Whoop whooop!
He’d be hated amongst the jugs. They don’t play to that fiddle.
Violent Jay loves his mom
Is this a joke that’s going over my head?
It’s just a quote from Violent Jay during the last election when ICP last had 5 minutes in the corporate media, it’s the reason he gives for voting for democrats
Ah I gotcha. Thank you.
Muthafuckin miracles
Just being real for a second, I think those guys are decent folks and anti right wing lunacy.
Please stop writing headlines that start with “Trump, 79,” that don’t end with. Well. You know.
Those headlines you’re thinking of don’t start “Trump, 79”. They start, “President Donald John Trump, 79.”

They started doing it this year to clickbait people into thinking he died
why they play with my feelings like that 😭
… they should instead all end with “, thank you for your attention to this matter.”
I mean, in the same way that no one knows for certain what matter really is.
But that really doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files, provide healthcare for the US, and stop imprisoning my friends and neighbors
What everyone glosses over and completely never see.
Is that this idiot represents the entire country.
If you have an idiot for a leader.
Logic says, your country is full of idiots.

Yeah, we went through this already, George Bush the Second made you guys look very stupid
It was less obvious because the world was less connected and not everyone had a high quality video camera in their pocket.
The media could also be relied upon to edit in a favourable manner. That’s still the case today, but he can’t get away from the fact that every time he shows up, people film him, because he’s always going to say something stupid. The idea that he might manage to have a normal day and not say something insanely dumb, is just inconceivable.
did you live through the Bush presidency, or are you making assumptions based on the times? Because the media tore Bush to absolute shreds and painted him as a gigantic idiot.
tbf, he really is the perfect representation of a large subsection of the US population, rich, middle/working class, poor…
he’s dumb as shit and acquired everything because of his name (wasting most of that fortune/legacy to boot).
I agree. The middle of the bell curve is woefully inadequate. Those dingalings.
I suppose if we’ve got Einstein and Hawking we must have people like Trump to balance it out.
Einstein was born in Germany and spent much of his life (including the portion where he did a lot of his most significant work) in Switzerland. He only moved to the United States towards the end of his life.
Hawking was born in the UK and lived his entire life there.
Exactly right…
You know those old cartoons that were totally not politically correct showing a bad stereotype of a Mexican, with a sombrero and a poncho, sleeping off a tequila bender under the shade of a cactus?
Well, the orange pedophile is EXACTLY the American version of that: confidently ignorant, morbidly obese, with undeserved resources, zero education, zero manners, zero culture.
We all know those stereotypes are supposed to be rude jokes barely based on any reality… I mean, there are cacti in Mexico and I am sure more than one Mexican has had a Tequila bender, but there is never the expectation you’ll go to Mexico and actually see that.
And now, Muricans proved theirs not only exists, it is what they look up to apparently.
That is like France choosing this guy as their next President
In 2020 I began my studies at Uni. Our music business lecturer always had nice ppts prepared for the class and most of the time he either had couple of fidget spinner memes or “fucking magnets, how do they work” memes. Brings back memories.
They just do.
From the article
The “polarizing” president was in conversation with Fox News about the economy when he veered off track…
Dad reporter confirmed. He even snuck in an “off track” before talking about trains.
What is this guys obsession with magnets?
“Magnets don’t work when wet” “Nobody knows what magnets are”
Does this obsession stem from the fact that he repels every decent person?To be fair: "A magnet works because negatively charged electrons repel each other. "
"Why do negatively charged electrons repel each other? "
“… Well … Ok, so hear me out. You’re going to need to understand quantum mechanics and then the fermion principal. Then you’ll know that the electrons aren’t allowed to occupy the same space, and the easiest way to avoid being in the same space is to not touch each other. The electrons know they aren’t allowed to touch because they’ve studied fermions.”
None of that is correct though.
Permanent magnets attract/repel because of aligned current loops in the material. It’s an electrodynamic effect that’s not related to Pauli Exclusion.
I’ve used magnets to cook rice, build motors, and a variety of misc dumb shit between but I have no idea of if any of this or the other post is even real
Just as God intended.

That dude shared the Nobel prize for Quantum Electrodynamics, and is a legend of teaching physics. That few minutes might not teach you all about magnets, but it might convince you that understanding them is a a big big question.
Another interesting thing about Feyman’s video is that since the time he made this, the reason of why ice is slippery has actually changed, and his long-standing theory is no longer observed as correct. It’s a different reason, involving dipoles.
Yes it is.
On the other hand… ”why do things fall down?” Now THERE’S a rabbit hole.
I don’t think there’s anything necessarily wrong in simplifying a subject and allowing that simplified answer to be the one the public knows
I think it’s acceptable to simply say that magnets of the same polarity repel each other, and not going to the explanation as to why. It’s up to people if they want to understand that, and they can seek that information out themselves.
Also I think it’s perfectly acceptable to explain gravity as a force that pulls things down. Trying to go into the whole area of space time and light cones is unnecessary for the casual explanation.
I would not think any less of a political leader if their understanding of magnets was simply the basic one that everybody else knows. But I absolutely would think less of my leader if he appeared not to even have a high school level understanding of magnetism. It would make me worry about what other things everybody else knows, that apparently he does not.
Yep. And for the most part the answer you’ll get is just that "these are universal forces. Excepted as observably true, but the why is seemingly unknown beyond “it’s a universal force.”
We can mostly know what magnets are doing, but answering why it’s a universal force that just is, is a different matter. We just know electrons really don’t wanna touch each other, and I’m assuming if they did, matter wouldn’t exist.
“down” is “just” a name for the direction everything falls.
Why do things fall? What happened to “a body at rest stays at rest”?
Why do things fall?
So they can learn to pick themselves up?
What happened to “a body at rest stays at rest”?
If no net forces are applied to that body. That’s what.
I think you may have taken me too seriously, but if so that’s a very dismissive response. I think your reply would be improved by describing at least one (nigh-universal, so it applies to “things” in general) force and saying why it exists.
There’s a wonderful video fragment where a journalist asks Richard Feynman, the Great Explainer, why magnets attract or repel each other. It goes on a tangent about how a minimum baseline of knowledge is required for any answer to the question “why”, to basically end with “it’s electromagnetism”.
It’s been posted as a link in this comment thread, actually. He kinda just skates around the question. Lol

I know what a magnet is. I even know how a magnet works! And it’s not magic!
Fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist Y’all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed.
I know what one is, but I don’t know how they work.
Magnetism. 😌
I know how the economy works! (Economics)
This is a better answer than any other I’ve ever gotten.
Now I just would like science to further explain how the electromagnetic force in general actually works.
“Electricity works because yadda yadda yadda.”
“Ok but why does it yadda yadda yadda?”
“I 'unno 🤷♂️”
I thought you might want to know, I shared a screenshot of your previous response with someone and they said that you are consistently able to be hilarious.
If I didnt have crippling social anxiety I could probably make it as a stand up comic. People probably won’t find a dude coming on stage, freezing up and then puking on the front row very funny. 😔
I would go see that. From the balcony.
Maybe you’re just doing stand-up for the wrong crowds.
Comedy could use a GWAR style act.
No one does.
A magnet works because all the atoms inside the metal(Iron, nickel, cobalt) are lined up facing the same way so their tiny magnetic forces all work together.
I know that, but that’s a very unsatisfactory explanation!
Still, I do appreciate the response.

“There’s a lot of tiny magnets inside” is no explanation at all!
Every electron acts like a tiny magnet due to a property called spin(A science word, not actually spinning), and also because it moves around the atom’s nucleus. In most materials, all those little magnetic moments point in random directions, so they cancel each other out.
In metals like iron, cobalt, and nickel, the situation’s different. The electrons interact through what’s called the exchange interaction, which basically makes it more stable for neighbouring spins to line up the same way. When enough of these spins align, they form regions called magnetic domains. Each domain is like a tiny magnet.
In an unmagnetized piece of metal, those domains point every which way, so the fields cancel. When you magnetise it, the domains start lining up, and their combined fields create one strong magnetic field that extends outside the metal.
Sorry, but “theres a lot of tiny magnets inside” is pretty much it. Every charged particle in motion creates a magnetic field. Moving electric charge = magnetic field. So if something contains moving electrons, and every atom does, then at the microscopic level, there’s always some magnetic field being created.
I just watched the Magic School Bus (Rides Again) episode that explains magnets this past weekend.
Worth it, by the way. That series still has a way of making some things seems so simple.

Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that. You can’t explain why the tide goes in.
came here to post this hahaha. I still use “X does this, Y does that – You can’t explain that.” sometimes. Just something about the hubris of ending it with pointing at the person and saying you can’t explain that, I love it just as much today: https://youtu.be/NUeybwTMeWo?t=11
It’s a blast from the past. Seemed like it was the turning point in his career. Circling the drain so to speak.
Tide goes in, wash cycle begins, wash cycle ends, dirty water drains out.
Yes I can. Tide goes in because tide goes out.
Yeah ok mr smart guy, if that’s why the tide goes in, then explain to me why tide go out, if you even can
Because it wants to meet friends.
Holy shit something just clicked for me!
“Ice is slippery, because water expands when it freezes” -->so when compressed it…
Granted it’s not really something I thought of on that level being from the equator.
Compression of any kind creates heat. In the case of ice, if the surface temperature is warm enough, the heat caused by compression is enough to melt it. Not all of it, but a thin layer at the top so you slip and fall on your ass.
While that may contribute to the slipperiness of ice in certain circumstances, we know that ice is still slippery even when the compressive force is unable to melt the ice, even a thin layer. For example, we’ve studied ice at temperatures and pressures where liquid water doesn’t form.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20zyW0qoSTE
I don’t remember the details exactly, but in the (most common) crystalline arrangements of H20, at the surface/edge of ice the individual molecules don’t have all their crystalline “partners”, so they can still shift around to varying degrees, which makes ice slippery even when none of it can / does melt–all of the molecules are part of at least one crystal.
It doesn’t create heat, it compresses it.
Tbf, any compression heats. Even with heat pipes.
This video was the first thing that popped into my head after reading the headline. I wonder if he saw it once and just internalised “nobody understands it”.
I read another comment that makes sense. When he says nobody knows he truly believes if he doesn’t know it then no one does.
Yeah, that’s the narcissistic personality disorder talking.

The paper company? Or the knifey-fingers guy with the fingerprint for a face?
Limitless paper, for a paperless world.
Imagine the disconnect between thinking he’s the smartest person in the world and the cold, hard fact that just about everyone in the world knows a lot more than he does. Maybe that explains some of the endless rage. Well, that and being fat, ugly and having a small penis (none of which would be all that significant to a well-adjusted person).
Next thing you know, we have the first Juggalo president.
i think having a juggalo president would be a step up from what we have now.
I would trust an impoverished juggalo with the concept of family over the current situation.
I’d trust a rabid weasel who communicates with a speak & spell more than the current situation.
So you support Vance?
“Divert all subsidies from corn to Faygo.”
“Yes sir, whoop whoop.”
You fucking wish
I must admit they did mellow quite a lot. I’d feel safer at a gathering of juggalos than at a republican convention.
Ah, a homestuck fan perhaps?
wait til he finds out about torrent magnet links
“Fire, Water, Earth and Dirt
Fucking Magnets, how do they work”“And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist. Motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed.”
If only there was some way to check if they are lying.
