Magnets. How do they f*cking work?

(It has been decided by The Council that a pointless forum on magnets was necessary. It has been delivered.)

My friends and I theorized about creating a magnetic slip-and-slide.

It would have been fun.

Does it require a magnet suit of magnetic magnetism?

An american stepped on his sand castle when he was 7. Now he's 8, and he wants revenge.

Yes. It would require a magnet suit of magnetic magnetism. It would also require a slip-and-slide of precisely oriented magnets. It's based of a maglev technology referred to as electrodynamic suspension. You can look it up on Wikipedia to get the basis of it.

Essentially you'd be running down the slide to get the speed and then when you're at the right speed you can now magnetically glide down the slide.

Well... The magnetic field of a magnet is the boundaries of it's magnetic lines of force. These are the north to south lines in a magnetic field. Magnetic lines of force always start at the north end of a magnet and end on the south end, just like the Earth's axis. Any magnet will set itself parallel to the lines of force, which is how compasses work, and why magnets repel or attract magnetic materials, depending on the north-south position of the magnetic lines of force. Magnetic lines of force draw near each other when the come close to the north and south poles, or ends, of the magnetic, but grow farther from each other as they move away from the poles. They do not cross over each other. There are three types of magnets. Hard, or permanent, magnets are just like their name, permanently magnetic. They make their own magnetic fields constantly. Soft, or temporary, magnets only create magnetic fields when they are under the influence of a hard magnet's field. They will continue producing a magnetic field for a short while after leaving the field of a permanent magnet. Electromagnets are artificial magnets that create a magnetic field only when electricity travels through them. They are made with wire coils. :P When the electricity moves through them, electrons are created and their movement makes a magnetic field. The size of the field can be controlled by the amount of wire coils and the amount of electricity that is sent through them.

tl; dr: Magnets use crazy line sorcery to f*ck sh*t up

Magnets show no remorse. No mercy!
Also, at the end of our final presentation for the class that we theorized the magnetic slip and slide in we actually played the clip from that Insane Clown Posse song.

F*cking magnets! How do they work?

That's the point of "tl; dr"s: to simplify things that are too long to read.
I've never heard of "tl; dr"s.

I don't think there's any way to fix that much stupid, so the doctor would just have to "fix" the stupid. (And by that I mean euthanasia.)
