Magnetism only feels like magic, because we don't have biological sensors for it

Think about it. Isn't light+eyes and ears+sound just the same in terms of their "influence at a distance"? We don't feel that as abnormal or magic - simply because we've sensors for them and are used to it. But physically speaking light and magnetism are based on electromagnetic forces.

Insane Clown Posse would like to have a word with you

My daughter and her friends are all into ICP and all I can think of is the fact that they're too stupid to understand magnetism and think that no one else understands it either.

Magnetize their faygo and only tell them about it later

She doesn't drink Faygo, but I'm just happy she hasn't started painting her face yet.
