It is a well known Arfcom fact that a number of complicated processes function by the proper deployment of "magnets and shit." This fact leaves only one logical question...

HOW THE FUCK DO MAGNETS WORK?!!!

Discuss.

How do locks work?

You can't intentionally start an epic thread.  It doesn't work that way.

I predict 8 posts and a lock.

the correct answer is "miracles"

It will be a miracle if this thread doesn't get locked

Not going to be epic. In for fail. It is a lack of electrons in the material or a high number of electrons in the other end or something like that.

I just don't understand why people would bitch about something they were not forced to do. Banning shit just because you don't like it never solves anything.

Nope, cobalt.




A neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeB, NIB, or Neo magnet), a type of rare-earth magnet, is a permanent magnet made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron to form the Nd2Fe14B tetragonal crystalline structure. This material is currently the strongest known type of permanent magnet.
