Magnetism is complex and difficult to reduce down succinctly, but the real issue is that at the very base level, “why does magnetism exist” is no more explainable than “why do particles have spin?”
They didn’t know it, but ICP were asking an epistemological question.
I looked for a non-yt source, but the best explainer for how magnetism in everyday objects is built up from quantum mechanics that I could find easily was this by minute physics: m.youtube.com/watch?v=hFAOXdXZ5TM

I have a question about this. What does unsolicited mean in this context?

In my interpretation, the lady in the phone says something so Orwellian that the guy looking in the calendar is surprised, but it makes sense because in the next calendar month, we’re going back to the year in 1984.

Thanks for this great answer! I was thinking about swiss-style (like with the holes) and didn’t even consider that some cheese might be imported from actual Switzerland!

My dad just sent me a nextdoor post claiming to be from the police saying some kids found sewing needles in gummy bears… How to know if it is a hoax?
- Comment on Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do? 3 weeks ago:
I will add one more: a quick once-or-twice blink of the hazard lights indicates “thank you” if someone let’s you merge in front of them, etc.
This seems analogous to the video game “Killing Floor”, albeit with much lower stakes. This game is an FPS, and playing it requires your attention. Voice chat exists, similar to CB radio in cars, but many people opt out, to avoid the distraction.
The game has a “quick chat” feature which cannot be disabled, which allows for messages like “follow me,” “get out of here”, “medic”, “thank you” and a few others.
Perhaps a quick chat system for cars would be an improvent over the ambiguous “hazard lights / high beams / honk” messages which can be misunderstood.
Although the first concern would be to limit their potential for abuse / distraction.
Possible messages:
- My vehicle is stopped
- My vehicle is moving slowly
- Hazard ahead
- Let me pass
- Wait
- Thank you
- Turn on your headlights
- Turn off your high beams
- You have a light out
- Something is wrong with your vehicle

There is a highway near me where the limit is 55, but the average speed in the fast lanes is 70+.
I don’t get it. This makes everyone a criminal. I isn’t realize that 75+ would be a felony.

Well, akshually they started out as being earth specific, as convenient ways to measure human-relevant amounts of space and time, and were standardized after that. So really God still wouldn’t care to use meters or seconds, but would probably have their own units which could also be standardized with natural phenomena.
