So there was a dissertation on the FoM LS... >_>
[7]<Coatleque Crofte> A refrigerator magnet that says "Nanamo Sucks" can still be made of the purest natural magnet on the planet.
[7]<Natalie Mcbeef> but how do they work
[7]<Verad Bellveil> If Leanne starts pointing at me and screaming like young Donald Sutherland I'm out of here.
[7]<Nero Lazarov> Well, you see, certain properties of metals are aetherically attuned to one another. The astral aspects of a metal seek to overcome the umbral aspects of another metal, hence why they are attracted to each other due to the property that astral and umbral polarity overwrites one another. That is how Eorzean magnets work.
[7]<Coatleque Crofte> Right. So, magic.
[7]<Leanne Delphium> party pooper..
[7]<Leanne Delphium> I think also that's magic.
[7]<Nero Lazarov> It's basic science, really.
[7]<Leanne Delphium> Just like the sky being blue being magic.
[7]<Franz Renatus> sounds legit, Nero
[7]<Coatleque Crofte> But even that basic science fails to explain the why of the attraction.
[7]<Coatleque Crofte> Ergo, magic.
[7]<Jancis Milburga> ...
[7]<Verad Bellveil> Damn these aetherial philosophers and their radical theories! Everybody knows that the attraction of the magnets is an attraction brought about by the tidal forces of Dalamud.
[7]<Verad Bellveil> As such, magnets should no longer function.
[7]<Nero Lazarov> Verad, you know that that is unbridled poppycock. Magnets are actually tiny sentient metal creatures bound directly to the will of the Twelve. They command the magnets when to stick to one another.
[7]<Verad Bellveil> All the more reason that they should cease to function! For the Twelve have been silent in Eorzea for lo these five years. Garlean magnets only work because they are filthy atheist magnets, in this view. They must be the lingering remnants of Dalamud's pull!
[7]<Leanne Delphium> So...
[7]<Leanne Delphium> atheistic magnets and religious magnets are a thing now.
[7]<Nero Lazarov> Are you suggesting that the Twelve are not omnipresent? Their silence is clearly because their attention is devoted to the important matter of making sure which magnets stick! They are forever guiding Eorzea through magnets!
[7]<Verad Bellveil> This religious drivel is exactly what's holding back the spirit of scientific inquisition in Eorzea. One can't even observe the mating habits of Tuco-Tuco without some priest getting his dress bunched up because they are chosen of Oschon and must wander freely or some such nonsense.
[7]<Verad Bellveil> And now magnets!
[7]<Leanne Delphium> Mind = Blown.
[7]<Nero Lazarov> Then how do you explain bananas, Verad? I suppose you'll posit some ridiculous theory that Hydaelyn just happened by accident, hmm? That the Twelve just don't exist?
[7]<Verad Bellveil> I don't explain bananas, because bananas are clearly a product of the void, a natural and observable phenomena. What else could create something as empirically vile as bananas?
[7]<Nero Lazarov> Vile? Are you suggesting that bananas are subject to a system of -morality-? Your assumptions grow more absurd with every passing bell!
[7]<Leanne Delphium> I was happy believing it was all magic.
[7]<Franz Renatus> this belongs in the log thread
[7]<Leanne Delphium> Yes it does.
[7]<Nero Lazarov> To believe anything with certainty, dear Leanne, is to willingly submit yourself to ignorance. Question everything, for the Twelve always seek those with inquisitive minds!
[7]<Verad Bellveil> Within the spirit of scientific inquiry, it has been conclusively proven that bananas are objectively the worst of the Eorzean fruits. Morality has nothing to do with it; that would be to suggest that it is moral for the tide to roll in or the clouds to rain or the Mogs to drink.
[7]<Leanne Delphium> Crofte-senpai, protect me.
[7]<Leanne Delphium> They want me to question magic.
[7]<Coatleque Crofte> Sorry, Leanne, I stopped listening hours ago.
[7]<Nero Lazarov> You are listening to the greatest intellectual minds of Eorzea debate, and you just -stopped listening-?
