I don’t think that would damage it.
I agree. I purposely applied magnets to floppies and like…maybe 9/10 had issues but generally it was a non-issue.
Now…filling a floppy disk with shaved off match head dust…
I think your parents might’ve dropped you as a child.
Floppy discs are more resilient than that. I’ve seen videos with people testing it. It took a more powerful magnet to corrupt the data on it. I should test it myself. I don’t think a magnet like that would do any harm.
drives are actually not that vulnerable to magnetic interference. if they where… well we are sitting on a giant magnet all the time (earth)

You think that’s bad? The secretary at my first job was told to keep that 5 1/4 floppy safe. So she stapled it to a cardboard divider in her binder.

She’s in a rest home telling stories about the time she scared her co-worker by making a duplicate of an important disc and stapling it to a binder.

You could staple them anywhere in a significant portion of the corners outside the circle inhabited by the disc and be fine, but I think you’d want to to remove the staple before getting it stuck in a drive.
I don’t miss that loading sound though, or the dreaded clicking when it was hunting for corrupted data.
