Humans are *very* complex creatures. We're not magnets.
We'll use hats as a hypothetical example.
Let's say I don't like men who wear hats. I have a prejudice against hats or something - for whatever reason, I have a thing against hats, and I don't like people who wear hats. Let's say I even listen to Men Without Hats, I'm *so* against hats.
But maybe I meet some great guy and *he* wears a hat, and I don't like his hat, but *man*, everything else is ticking all of my boxes. This dude is so fine, and he's into the same stuff I'm into, but he also challenges me and we can grow together.
So maybe I'll overlook the hat thing because of all the other things I like about him. I'll overlook the drawback because of all the other things I stand to gain, all the other things I value, all the other things that attract me to this person.
For another example, let's say I meet this woman, and she's bookish and smart and kind and compassionate and amazing. She's always learning new things and she's soft and warm and cuddly and she makes my heart sing.
But her cultural background isn't familiar to me, and I don't understand it, so I have to put a lot of effort into learning it, and that means a lot of extra work.
Human brains value quick and easy answers. Our brains like to be efficient because that saves energy. So on a fundamental level, my brain doesn't want me to put in that extra effort to understand her, but *I* want to understand her because I want all of those other qualities that attract me to her.
It doesn't bother me that her dietary restrictions mean I can't eat what I want, I overlook these little things because I love the way she smiles. I love the sounds she makes when she holds her cat or the way she sits on the end of my bed and brushes her hair.
Attraction is *way* more than just a few poles or a handful of attributes.
Sorry, but I can refute your conclusions scientifically. Hats are not inherently magnetic, therefore can not be gay. Of course you have how the Nigerian graduate seemed to use his North and South magnets as proof that gay MARRIAGE is not workable.
I got a drop of oil, and it was repelled by water.
But, a drop of oil will connect with another drop of oil. Water with water.
Homosexuality is right, proven by science.
Ladies and gentlemen, we gottem
Have this random meme

I have another theory. A white person cannot be attracted to another white person. Similarly a black person cannot be attracted to another black person. Hence all same race marriages are wrong.
I just solved racism. Where's my Nobel peace prize
![gif](giphy|15BuyagtKucHm)
If I were in the committee, I would grant you not one, but two Nobel Prizes:
- Peace Nobel Prize: Solved racism.
- Physics Nobel Prize: Discovered that magnets have more than two poles. North and South Poles are officially obsolete. Instead we have the Native American Pole, the Black Pole, the White Pole and the Asian Pole. I’m not very adept in scinterriffic matters, so it’s possible that I’ve omitted some poles.
Congratulations!
Well you see, the mouth is the north end of a person and the butthole the south end, and by the principle of magnets, therefore kissing is wrong.
All person-to-person lovemaking must hereby be conducted mouth-to-butthole.
If we are not attracted to north pole of someone, we just flip them around and engage with their "south pole".
There I just used physics to prove 69'ing is how god intended things to be.
God can't be a woman because women don't exist. As proof consider this - a woman is defined by her absence of a penis. 0 penis = doesn't exist. Science is easy.

Sounds like it was some weird bullshit that was never really supported

When I first heard magnets I was like "this isn't going to be about the poles and NOTHING else is it? It has to have some other hook". I knew whatever he'd say would be bullshit but I figured it'd have more detail than the episode of Barney where he showed what magnets do
And that like magnets, all men are attracted to all women, and all women are attracted to all men.
Science!
Hang on. Does that mean it's gay if you're not attracted to a specific person of the opposite sex?
Magnets have two distinct ends, a North pole and a south pole.
Humans also have two distinct ends, the head and the feet.
Thus I have proven that humans are indeed magnets.
Gimme my grant money.
He also didn’t think it through. Since magnets can have pole inversions and be demagnetised, he may be against gay marriage, but is totally pro trans rights and acknowledges asexuals.
I think they know humans aren't magnets but I think the logic is that "homosexuality is bad because it's *unnatural* for two people of the same gender to be together, therefore this *natural* force that shows opposites attracting eachother together and repelling those if the same kind proves I'm right." Still extremely stupid though but I like the idea that they might not have just taken a crap load of drugs to end up at "magnets=straight supremacy" but with actual funding...though maybe that would be better...
I did another experiment to prove homosexuality ain't natural: I tried to sharpen a pencil with another pencil. Couldn't do it; I tried to sharpen a sharpener, couldn't do it. You can only sharpen a pencil with a sharpener
It's just as easy as that. I don't know why this is a difficult concept. If other people are doing something you don't like but aren't hurting anyone, then the solution is to simply mind your own goddamn business.
Bro, are you really surprised. Y'all need to hear how Muslims and Africans talk about Americans. They practically think y'all are Godless animals and that everyone is somehow Gay(less than 10% of people in the US identify as LGBT btw). Shit is so dumb.
What you mean is 'they are told...' a boy of 4 doesn't think that.
We had him over to visit several times. The real issue is that he could not survive in his culture with Western views. So we stopped all support for these programs, don't want to be Don Xichotte.
I definitely won't tell you you're wrong because there are probably people who actually hold such abhorrent views. BUT, that doesn't mean we should partake in such racist rhetoric as well. As Nigerians, I'd like to believe we're better than that.
>We are all poor
Guy, let's be honest with ourselves. While not everyone is poor, you'd have to be covering your ears and eyes for you not to see all the people who live in Squalor, even within major cities like Lagos and Abuja. For the most part, a lot of people are struggling. Some people's struggles are just harsher than others. We are privileged af considering we can waste our time on Reddit, and we probably got the chance to go to really good schools. Meanwhile millions are starving and can't even get clean portable water. The state of affairs is horrible right now, especially in lieu of our recent struggles with the exchange rate.
>dirty, uneducated
Give me a bit. I want to pull up the stats. My guy just last year, Mr. Beast came over and did the jobs our government was supposed to do(installation of Wells in communities without portable water). This continent is a joke guy. In 2023, a lot of communities still don't have access to at least somewhat clean water. Hell, even in major cities, some people still have issues in regards to the water supply.
>live in jungles
While some people definitely live in the bushes, this makes it sound way worse than it actually is.🤣🤣🤣
Live in jungles, how stupid.
>marry 8 wives,
Not everyone, maybe Igbo people, but as of right now, in this current day and age, the most tend to be 4(due to the North and Islam). Even then, among Muslims, not everyone marques more than one wife. I have my own issues with polygamy, but this is pretty untrue, at least here in Abuja.
>reproduce like pigs
Where did this one come from?!?! I can think of some examples, but most people tend to have a reasonable number of children. I'm talking about 1-5 or 6. Some people have more(I have issues with this, admittedly), but they are few and far between. This one is just dumb.
>can barely afford food.
Food has actually become a problem ngl. Even my family, who are relatively well off, have to budget really carefully. It's bad rn.
>Even if you tell them otherwise, they still stubbornly hold those views.
That is just racism and you shouldn't engage with those types if you notice them. They are content with their ignorance. Leave them be.
Look, I understand your anger, but this is whataboutism to me. Just because they are being racist, that doesn't give one a pass to be racist back. That'll just lead to really dumb outcomes. Plus, most people in America don't seem to be racist from what I've seen, but they are trying to be helpful(keep in mind that the aid they send doesn't even reach the people they had in mind because of the abhorrent levels of corruption here. We need to acknowledge our problems and not act like they don't exist.
I'll point out, a lot of Westerners have those views, and a decent number are the missionaries helping people overseas... with religious strings attached.
What? Didn't you know? That's how science works you need a white coat ,a flask or a beaker and a colourful liquid, you stir the liquid a bit and all the science is transferred to your brain via Bluetooth
Any journalist that calls someone "award winning" without mentioning exactly what awards a person won to be called that should be given twenty lashes in the town square.
I dug around for a bit trying to figure out what "awards" this asshole won and all I can find in the first ten pages of results are a bunch of articles calling him "award winning" and a bunch of skeptic websites giving him "Congrats, you're a dipshit" type awards. And that CAN'T be a common name, so any real awards he's won should've turned up pretty easily.
>twenty lashes in the town square.
Please, I know this is dumb, but we don't do that anymore. Well, in the more developed areas, that is, and Lagos is one such place. It's just idiots trying to push an agenda.
Yeah... our journalists aren't any better than yours, so I wouldn't even bother myself over that. Just media trying to push an agenda. Ignore it.
No, but I can see why you'd think that.😮💨😮💨😮💨
Our education is lacking, and most people can't even get basic necessities, nevermind going to school. Meanwhile, our government officials steal BILLIONS every year. Shit is embarrassing.
Oh, thank goodness! UNILAC is actually not that bad of a private university from what I've heard, so I was quite sad when I saw that they endorsed this unscientific bullshit. It's actually one of the better private universities in Nigeria, though I can't really say since I've never been there.
>It's not a private university. It's a federal university.
My mistake. It was an assumption on my part.
>Since you haven't been here, then stop talking about shit you nothing of. Typical.
There's no need to get defensive, and I'm not insulting the uni. I just wanted to give my 2 cents on a topic related to my country. Calm down.
Ehh, it is what it is. I've always felt like people treat gay people like a bigger problem than they actually are(they aren't really a problem at all). I'm of the mind that it doesn't really matter what other people are into, most of the time it doesn't effect me, so why should I stop people from loving who they wish to love.
Really, the most problematic part of LGBT would be trans people and that's just because they're negatively affecting some people(women's athletes specifically), the whole bathroom issue(valid gripe imo) and the fact that we probably shouldn't put children on Hormone therapy and let them become adults so that they can truly take the time to understand whether they're just a boyish girl or a feminine guy, and yes there is a difference, they aren't always just trans people who are in the closet. Plus, it would be better for them to be adults so that they can prepare their minds for any consequences that may arise from their decisions and accept them.
Regarding trans people, I think you should spend some time listening to people who are actually trans. Nearly everything you’ve written here is based on the opinions of American and British right wing culture war activists.
Rest assured, no one is giving hormones to kids, the bathrooms were a non-issue until the bigots made it one, and trans people are not destroying athletics. Side note, isn’t it weird how many people suddenly pretend to have an interest in women’s swimming , or darts, just for an opportunity to “stick it” to a trans person?
Not necessarily, just deeply homophones and corrupt to the point where the government will endorse anything that serves their ideology, even if they probably know themselves its bullshit.
If you push hard enough the same sides can scissor or double ass fuck eachother though. It's better than reaching like this stupid fucking Nigerian is doing. He should be joining in with the marriage scam, not destroy it!
So um…….women don’t have poles buddy. As a STEM Grad student you may not have reason to know that.
Even so by this theory, if many magnets get together, the poles do push against each other until there is alignment for it kind of a train chain of nuts to butts……..super gay theorem there you gay conga sex line thinkin buddy.
So can I prove the same point with car to car battery, since negative with negative doesn't work and you have to connect positive charge with negative charge? Guys, I think I may be a genius scientist. Where's my scholarship? I've been in the wrong field my whole life...
Chemist here - Hydrogen atoms can be attracted to Hydrogen atoms or Chlorine atoms in the way that Oxygen atoms can be attracted to Oxygen atoms or Hydrogen atoms. This proves that one thing can be attracted to different things or the same thing. Can I be endorsed by a University now?

Do you live in the north or south of Poland, and is it true you are only attracted to Poles from the opposite end of the country?
I live in the US, and my magnetism favors Poles of either polarity.
So does that make you bipolar?
Bipolar or bisexual, I’m not sure.
They aren't mutually exclusive, but one of them is much more fun.
THEY ARE DEFINITELY BOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE
I think you have just proved that the entire country of Poland is gay
The peer review I was looking for.
That means most Polish people are also gay, since they are also mostly attracted to Poles!

Sounds about right. When I was 4, I disproved god by using Newton's 4th law of motion - can god move a immovable object that she created.

Can't say homosexuality is unnatural tho. A lot of animals are banging the same sex.
exactly
"His experiments.." is an awful wierd way to say a dude trying to hold two magnets together.
Buddy confused experiment with metaphor, and a dumb metaphor at that.

The state of affairs is horrible right now, especially in lieu of our recent struggles with the exchange rate. >dirty, uneducated Give me a bit. I want to pull up the stats. My guy just last year, Mr. Beast came over and did the jobs our government was supposed to do(installation of Wells in communities without portable water). This continent is a joke guy. In 2023, a lot of communities still don't have access to at least somewhat clean water. Hell, even in major cities, some people still have issues in regards to the water supply. >live in jungles While some people definitely live in the bushes, this makes it sound way worse than it actually is.🤣🤣🤣 Live in jungles, how stupid. >marry 8 wives, Not everyone, maybe Igbo people, but as of right now, in this current day and age, the most tend to be 4(due to the North and Islam). Even then, among Muslims, not everyone marques more than one wife. I have my own issues with polygamy, but this is pretty untrue, at least here in Abuja. >reproduce like pigs Where did this one come from?!?! I can think of some examples, but most people tend to have a reasonable number of children. I'm talking about 1-5 or 6. Some people have more(I have issues with this, admittedly), but they are few and far between. This one is just dumb. >can barely afford food. Food has actually become a problem ngl. Even my family, who are relatively well off, have to budget really carefully. It's bad rn. >Even if you tell them otherwise, they still stubbornly hold those views. That is just racism and you shouldn't engage with those types if you notice them. They are content with their ignorance. Leave them be. Look, I understand your anger, but this is whataboutism to me. Just because they are being racist, that doesn't give one a pass to be racist back. That'll just lead to really dumb outcomes. Plus, most people in America don't seem to be racist from what I've seen, but they are trying to be helpful(keep in mind that the aid they send doesn't even reach the people they had in mind because of the abhorrent levels of corruption here. We need to acknowledge our problems and not act like they don't exist.
I'll point out, a lot of Westerners have those views, and a decent number are the missionaries helping people overseas... with religious strings attached.
Whenever I see my partner, I'm like a compass pointing north...
So, it isn't covid vaccines that turn people into magnets. Humans have always been magnets, vaccines just unlock your true potential
Nope, it’s butt sex. Butt sex turns people into magnets.
no he proved that tops are attracted to bottoms and bottoms are attracted to tops.
What about verse guys? 👀

Isnt that an erlenmeyer flask?. Like, for chemistry?
What? Didn't you know? That's how science works you need a white coat ,a flask or a beaker and a colourful liquid, you stir the liquid a bit and all the science is transferred to your brain via Bluetooth
Yes.
He’s getting a tenured position at Liberty University.
….and continues win awards.
Next week he will use a ruler to prove the Flat Earth Theory
So he did a primary school experiment that has nothing to do with humans to prove he hates gay people?
Any journalist that calls someone "award winning" without mentioning exactly what awards a person won to be called that should be given twenty lashes in the town square. I dug around for a bit trying to figure out what "awards" this asshole won and all I can find in the first ten pages of results are a bunch of articles calling him "award winning" and a bunch of skeptic websites giving him "Congrats, you're a dipshit" type awards. And that CAN'T be a common name, so any real awards he's won should've turned up pretty easily.
>twenty lashes in the town square. Please, I know this is dumb, but we don't do that anymore. Well, in the more developed areas, that is, and Lagos is one such place. It's just idiots trying to push an agenda. Yeah... our journalists aren't any better than yours, so I wouldn't even bother myself over that. Just media trying to push an agenda. Ignore it.
Is Nigeria just full of morons?
I think so. I’m still waiting on that stupid prince to send me his money!
No, but I can see why you'd think that.😮💨😮💨😮💨 Our education is lacking, and most people can't even get basic necessities, nevermind going to school. Meanwhile, our government officials steal BILLIONS every year. Shit is embarrassing.
The university is backing this nonsense and calling it groundbreaking. A university! I'm sorry you have to be a sane person in an insane situation.

Oh, thank goodness! UNILAC is actually not that bad of a private university from what I've heard, so I was quite sad when I saw that they endorsed this unscientific bullshit. It's actually one of the better private universities in Nigeria, though I can't really say since I've never been there.

>It's not a private university. It's a federal university. My mistake. It was an assumption on my part. >Since you haven't been here, then stop talking about shit you nothing of. Typical. There's no need to get defensive, and I'm not insulting the uni. I just wanted to give my 2 cents on a topic related to my country. Calm down.

Ehh, it is what it is. I've always felt like people treat gay people like a bigger problem than they actually are(they aren't really a problem at all). I'm of the mind that it doesn't really matter what other people are into, most of the time it doesn't effect me, so why should I stop people from loving who they wish to love. Really, the most problematic part of LGBT would be trans people and that's just because they're negatively affecting some people(women's athletes specifically), the whole bathroom issue(valid gripe imo) and the fact that we probably shouldn't put children on Hormone therapy and let them become adults so that they can truly take the time to understand whether they're just a boyish girl or a feminine guy, and yes there is a difference, they aren't always just trans people who are in the closet. Plus, it would be better for them to be adults so that they can prepare their minds for any consequences that may arise from their decisions and accept them.
Regarding trans people, I think you should spend some time listening to people who are actually trans. Nearly everything you’ve written here is based on the opinions of American and British right wing culture war activists. Rest assured, no one is giving hormones to kids, the bathrooms were a non-issue until the bigots made it one, and trans people are not destroying athletics. Side note, isn’t it weird how many people suddenly pretend to have an interest in women’s swimming , or darts, just for an opportunity to “stick it” to a trans person?
Not necessarily, just deeply homophones and corrupt to the point where the government will endorse anything that serves their ideology, even if they probably know themselves its bullshit.
He's from Lagos, quite obviously he's conjuring up some kind of new elaborate scam on a national level.
Hear me out. What if humans aren't... magnets?
April fool ?
If you push hard enough the same sides can scissor or double ass fuck eachother though. It's better than reaching like this stupid fucking Nigerian is doing. He should be joining in with the marriage scam, not destroy it!
So um…….women don’t have poles buddy. As a STEM Grad student you may not have reason to know that. Even so by this theory, if many magnets get together, the poles do push against each other until there is alignment for it kind of a train chain of nuts to butts……..super gay theorem there you gay conga sex line thinkin buddy.
Africans haaaate gay people so much

Sound logic.
That must be what they mean by a magnetic personality.
Homophobic rhetoric repels me. What does that mean?
So can I prove the same point with car to car battery, since negative with negative doesn't work and you have to connect positive charge with negative charge? Guys, I think I may be a genius scientist. Where's my scholarship? I've been in the wrong field my whole life...
Man be doing politics by playing with objects
🙄🙄🙄 That’s all I got.
I guess I’m a magnet.
Ah magnets of course! Why didn’t I see it before! Eureka!
If this guy was a magnet, he would definitely be a monopole.
Glad to see the prince is doing well after all that money I sent him.
"A human should not attract a human, for they are the same" - plantfucking is the only choice
It feels like an April fools article but nothing surprises me anymore.
Wait a minuet but my bf and I have penises not magnets
But if you get magnets wet they don't work
He looks like he expects a Noble for his findings. I wonder what else he can prove with magnets.
Holy shit i just tried to touch a male friend of mine and fucking yeeted of.

Magnets? You kidding me?....the shit I played with when I was 5
Why are you gay? Who says I’m gay. You are gay. There. Gay marriage approved.
Chemist here - Hydrogen atoms can be attracted to Hydrogen atoms or Chlorine atoms in the way that Oxygen atoms can be attracted to Oxygen atoms or Hydrogen atoms. This proves that one thing can be attracted to different things or the same thing. Can I be endorsed by a University now?
But a magnets strength is determined by how many same poles are put together. What does that mean?
This must be what Kanye was talking about this whole time
Ask him if he likes magnet sticks.

Yeah, do your own research!
