Make a list of all the things that you come into contact
with every day that use magnets. The pictures below will

Unlike poles

Magnetic fields
The metallic objects attracted to a magnet lie within
the magnet’s magnetic feld. The magnetic feld is the
area around a magnet where its magnetic force acts.
Although magnetic felds are invisible, we can
visualise what they look like by sprinkling iron flings
around a magnet. The iron flings line up along the
magnetic feld lines.

Iron flings sprinkled around bar magnets
The magnetic feld is drawn as shown in this
diagram. The lines show the direction of the magnetic
force. The lines are closest together where the magnetic
force is greatest and are furthest apart where the
magnetic force is weakest.

The magnetic feld around a bar magnet
Just as iron flings align with the magnetic feld, the
needle of a compass lines up with the magnetic feld.
The north pole of the compass points in the direction
of a magnet’s magnetic feld.
Magnetic forces are things that pull or push things together.

I mean I guess bro

a word of expression to when you give up on comprehending someone's words of ignorance, stupidity, absurdity or are too exhausted to formulate a proper response.

Commonly seen in TikTok comment sections in replies to lazy attempts at humor, overconfidentally incorrect statement, or an over-the-top comment or when someone completely misses the mark on something.
"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!

cornholio 

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
