Fucking Magnets
How do they work?
All I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets.

Dear Traitorous Bastard,
Those of us that did NOT dodge the draft have heard of limpet mines. A bit of reading on Limpet Goddamned Mines might help you learn a leeeeeeeeetle bit more on underwater magnets.
Yours,
We who took the same oath to defend the Constitution, but took it seriously.
…and the people who think Joe Biden is not all there want to replace him with this man.
@DSC : Congrats, and keep the good submissions like this one coming!
…I- Ju- I- can- how-
…How do you function !?
What I love about this moron is, he can't stop indicting himself. He has to instantly prove that his detractors are right about him. He claims to be a stable genius, then in the next breath says he can turn magnets off with water and declassify documents with the power of the mind. I expect he'll walk into one of his many trials carrying a mailbag full of evidence against him at some point in the future.
To be fair, the context was electromagnetic elevators and catapults on board an aircraft carrier. I would assume that those are sufficiently waterproofed to avoid the risk of seawater causing an electrical short. They’re also not devices designed to work underwater, but there’s no reason you couldn’t make something which did if you needed to; magnetic fields work just fine in water. If one were being generous, one could assume that he was poorly communicating the risk of a short, not knowing they could be waterproofed, which is stupid but not quite that stupid. I wouldn’t be inclined to do so, given the abject idiocy he’s displayed in the past, though.
What he said next isn’t any better. “Why didn't they use John Deere? Why didn't they bring in the John Deere people? Do you like John Deere? I like John Deere.” Only reason I can come up with is that he thought it was a good way to pander to Iowans as a “support the local industry” thing (one of John Deere’s 4 main manufacturing plants is located in Iowa, though the company is headquartered in Illinois).
“To be fair, the context was electromagnetic elevators and catapults on board an aircraft carrier.”
Does he not know the habitat where one finds the domesticated aircraft carrier elevator? Waves crash over those things, more often rain. And sometimes fire-fighting water. They, uh, they work in water. Whatever the question was specifically, this is NOT the answer.
“I would assume that those are sufficiently waterproofed to avoid the risk of seawater causing an electrical short.”
Yeah. Ours tend to be steam. They’re trying to put an electromagnetic version on the Gerald Ford, i assume they were asking him about delays in putting that ship into service.
In either case, the motive force moves a ‘shuttle’ down through a groove, towing the plane to a high speed in a short length of deck. So they’re insulated and at least four hobbits down from the tricksy waters, precious.
“They’re also not devices designed to work underwater,”
SOME of the systems designed to move the Carrier’s shuttle also impel a torpedo out of a submarine tube. Not the ones on the Ford, but the pneumatic and hydraulic versions.
“Why didn't they use John Deere? Why didn't they bring in the John Deere people”
Now i’m going to have to go to sleep with a steam catapult tossing a $2million combine across a freeway to reach the next field for harvest….

DO WANT!
As pointed out by the esteemed <@KeithInc. > , what was used by Allied divers during WWII to sink Nazi vessels. So some… thing ’s not exactly a student of history: least of all military.
Said divers who risked their lives to give us what we have today: not the dictatorship you want, least of all think you are. Using explosives attached with magnets under the waterline of ships etc, especially those who used the then new innovation that is SCUBA today, certainly it’s inventor. So someone’s a steaming nit.
And it’s not Jacques Cousteau, Donald Fart.
All I know about magnets is
Jack shit, apparently!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
