[triplestation]

so i'm just shopping for magnets for a project right.. just imagine this is the amazon page

WARNING: Neodymium Magnets are very strong. Keep away from children and pacemakers.

 

[Woffls]

i got some 1x2mm N42 magnets for Warhammer stuff and they're no joke. be careful.

 

[TaySan]

Im sorry OP, but I don't get it. Lol

 

[and 3 others]

Im sorry OP, but I don't get it. Lol

Seriously?

 

[Tesseract]

i wish we had magnet guns with bolt lightning

 

[triplestation]

Im sorry OP, but I don't get it. Lol

i imagined if someone was carrying these magnets around some random old dude, their pacemaker would fly out of their chest and catch on the magnet

 

[TaySan]

Seriously?

Yes, but then again i dont know anything about magnets . :/
Edit OP above explained

 

[JBat]

Dang. The strongest magnets I've ever missed with were cow magnets but I don't think they would mess with a pacemaker lol

3/10

 

[Cunth]

what happens if you put the magnet on children...

 

[bitbydeath]

Magnets are no joke OP.

 

[Tesseract]

[kingbean]

Isn't this kid just really gross and sticky, or do we really think he's magnetic?

Elektro Demon what are they saying ??

edit: nvm I read the video's description

 

[farmerboy]

Heh, title should be - a very "funny", very unintentional "joke"

cos I'm not seeing it

 

[eddie4]

 

[haxan7]

I understood that reference

 

[Stiflers Mom]

If this is funny, I don't get it.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

i imagined if someone was carrying these magnets around some random old dude, their pacemaker would fly out of their chest and catch on the magnet

and the funny thing is......?

i dont get it.

 

[triplestation]

and the funny thing is......?

i dont get it.

because it flew out of his chest

 

[Relativ9]

because it flew out of his chest

Op profile picture perfectly captures his sense of humor.

 

[MudoSkills]

It's not a joke though.

I worked an event that had magnetic name tags and they had a pacemaker warning on them. If it's a strong magnet you could probably fuck someone pacemaker by slipping it into a breast pocket.

The perfect murder. I see you.

Elektro Demon what are they saying ??

edit: nvm I read the video's description

Basically the kid attracts metals like a magnet. They're interviewing his family and they saying how it's cool and they can't believe the kid can do it. The second part of the video, there's people saying that when he puts his arms on their painful parts of the body, like knee for example, the pain goes away with his touch within few minutes.
At the end of the video, some medical expert is saying that his magnetism ability is something to do with his genes but he can't fully explain it.

 

[GAMETA]

Wack did you say?

 

[GymWolf]

Well i guess this is what people feel when they don't understand my jokes...

 

[poppabk]

I don't get it. Is it the keep away from children part? The pacemaker part?
For the love of God OP please explain where the funny part is?

 

[Insane Metal]

triplestation you're such a dork lol

 

[Ornlu]

We've got some magnets at work that are the size of a nickel, and are so strong that if you throw them near (within a foot or so) something steel, the proximity will completely change the trajectory of your throw. It makes for some sick trick shots.

 

[Airola]

So Amazing Stories was a documentary series. I knew it!

 

[Soodanim]

Unrelated, but have you ever heard of people that get magnets implanted in their fingers? The subtle vibrations are picked up by the nervous system and you can sense electrical fields.

It's not funny, in case you thought I was going for the long joke. But here's a video of someone with an LED implant that you can laugh at for being entirely pointless.

Bought a smart golf ball that when it comes within 5 inches of a hole, it automatically goes in. Word of advice, don't put them in your pocket!
