The song's line "Fucking magnets, how do they work?" became an internet meme. The following line, "and I don’t want to talk to a scientist, y’all motherfuckers lyin', and gettin' me pissed” also riled scientifically minded people on the internet. Scientists created blog entries[25] to teach Juggalos and even did so in person.[26]
hmmm what else do these nerds do with their spare time?

My experience with the Magnets meme from miracles: i hear the song, and i think, "wait actually, how do magnets work?" So I looked it up.
Now, if I were a redditurd, this would be the end of the joke, but when I looked it up I found several direct responses to the Miracles video, with the stated point of explaining how magnets work, typically with a heap of smugness and condescension. But the vast majority did not actually answer the question, or at least not completely. Several peter out and just call the ICP stupid and forget to even explain electromagnetism, but several explain electromagnetism and then leave it at that. But, that still doesn't answer the question, at least not completely.
When I ask "How do magnets work?" another way it could be phrased is "How does a magnet stay sticky?" After all, even if you understand the basic concept of electromagnetism, as I already did at the time, that doesn't tell you how a magnet gains and keeps that property. I ended up reading some shit about "dipole flipping" or something, I forget the details because it's been a while and I don't really care about magnets very much. The whole thing is more interesting to me as an example of how masses of people on the internet like to lash out at shit if they think it can make them look smarter.
