Please stop writing headlines that start with “Trump, 79,” that don’t end with. Well. You know.

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 55 points 4 weeks ago

Those headlines you're thinking of don't start "Trump, 79". They start, "President Donald John Trump, 79."

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 17 points 4 weeks ago

Unf, stop. It makes me feel things as I read that out in my head, then let down and blocked like the cat just jumped on the bed and threw up right near the end.

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.

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 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

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?

Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can't explain that. You can't explain why the tide goes in.

[-] khepri@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

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

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.

[-] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 11 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

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.

Next thing you know, we have the first Juggalo president.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 24 points 4 weeks ago

i think having a juggalo president would be a step up from what we have now.

Maybe if you powdered the magnet first.

wait til he finds out about torrent magnet links

[-] Hayduke@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

We can’t be starting headlines like that without considering the emotional roller coaster involved.

[-] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Im glad I wasn't the only one to be let down by the third word in that headline.

[-] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 4 weeks ago

I'll tell you how magnets work.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago

Ignorant and racist.

I don't think I've ever seen a group of voters vote in someone so much like themselves.

It kinda just sounded like he was saying most people don’t know all the actual things magnets are used for.

Poorly worded, sure. That’s my takeaway

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

“President Xi was willing to do the railroad things—that’s magnets,” he said. “Now, nobody knows what a magnet is. If you don’t have a magnet, you don’t have a car. You don’t make a computer, you don’t make, er, televisions and radios and all the other things—you don’t make anything."

That's exactly what it is. Could've been stated a little more clearly but this is a completely coherent statement. The man does a dozen deplorable things a day, are we really that starved for headlines that this is what we're reporting on?

Almost convinced that his administration is paying for these articles so people will look at them and complaints about the Epstein files as equally valid.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

"Coherent" is not the word i would use.

Funny that people pick this specific statement out of a long and aimless rambling. This specific statement isnt even that wrong depending on its interpretation. Isnt it more important to note that he confidently rambles like a senile lunatic?
