    I love when anons post “I’m going to put a giant magnet in front of my car to pull it forward without gas. Any scientific proof that it works?” as if they didn’t just pull this bullshit directly out of their own schizophrenia.

      So a maglev train / magnetic crane? As far as ideas go, that one is not only possible, it is real and practical. When you get right down to it, electric cars are basically electricity creating magnetic forces to spin the drive shaft to pull the car forward without gas.

      It isn’t so much about schizophrenia than it is about trying to laugh about why its absurd and it won’t work before trying to see where it would and why and where it might.
