I remember before the Chinese made magnets popular, we used to build MRI scanners with lines of X-ray specs from the back of comic books, and hard drives used tiny trained mice who would note everything down in a series of 1s & 0s on a little slate with white chalk…

I did not know magnets have only been around for 20 years. What lies were they teaching me in grade school, 30+ years ago?!?

What about the internal combustion engine? All traditional cars since 1901 have had a magneto. I wonder if Trump could work out why it's called a magneto?

He's right. Until they invented the electric guitar, microphone, and speaker in 2005, nobody needed magnets.

Picture of the very 1st electric guitar and 1st ever speakers that were invented no more than 20 years ago when people started caring about magnets.

Is it possible to come up with something so nonsensical that even when it is coming out of his mouth, it will be still recognized as such? At this point I doubt it. Everything he says becomes something, the US mainstream will react to by discussing it in all seriousness.

Yup…nobody needed magnets, not one bit until CHYNAH invented them in 2005. & then they built a Time Machine so they could go back & give magnets to ancient mariners so that eventually John Clarke could ensure ‘MERICA was discovered, which was nice.

There's no mice inside your computer. Hamsters though... That's why you get that spinning wheel when your PC is processing hard, because it represents the Hamster wheel. It's also why old computers wheeze and are slow (the Hamster has got Asthma).

A slow, repeating bang comes from the White House kitchen, as the refrigerator door swings back & forth untethered. On the floor around it is a scattering of childrens artwork, unsecured. The only other sound is the purr of the diesel compressor, struggling to cool the fridge as warm air pours in
