MAgnets = magic

I'm adding this to my list of things I need to bring with me when I travel back to the past. Right under sports almanac.

Magnets, how do they work? Oh, that's how? Cool.

Thumbnail on mobile looks like a dildo.

I thought it was a high-tech sperm, myself.

Anything's a dildo if you're brave enough!

whatseventhepointt
Yeah but the flared based sorta flares into another usable end so I went with dildo.

Whenever I see speakers work like that my mind is shown that gif of the girl's gaping asshole moving in and out and shit...

As someone who went through school to become an aircraft mechanic, this would have been very helpful

fuck yeah engineers
ModernDayBabaYaga
Magnets, how do they work? Magic, probably
sasukate
Damn it. You beat me
cocktailhobbyist
Expected this comment here, was not disappointed.
NordMan
I claimed magic in a physics class once. Teacher just nodded
Kizander
well think about it, why do protons and electrons attract each other? and why does mass create attraction (gravity)?
djsdkdjsk
because uhh uhh TRUMP DID IT
NordMan
Magic.
Kizander
Definitely.

DarthFutuza
Can we get a nuclear power plant one? Or a tomak reactor one?
MooseSK
As an F15/F22 engine mechanic, all of the jet engine info checks out except for "jet pipe." That shits called an augmentor duct, yo.
CaptainMustache
Yeah, the whole "afterburner" is called an augmentor. We haven't used afterburner for a very long time.
MooseSK
Yes and no. The introduction and combustion of fuel within the augmentor is called afterburner. The augmentor also serves a purpose (1/2)
MooseSK
while afterburner is not occurring, however. (2/2)
mcknytx
Let's check with Goose and Maverick on that...
Vedar
Afterburner still sounds cooler.

YOU FORGOT THE PART WHERE THAT .45 SLUG PENETRATES THE CHEST CAVITY OF NAZI SCUM! JOHN BROWNING SAYS 'HI' MOTHERFUCKER
JacobTheUnicorn
Uh, thats a colt 1911.
elucidatefurther
Yes, the majestic .45ACP pistol invented by our Lord and Savior John Moses Browning.
JacobTheUnicorn
God rest his soul.
FrustratedBluffing
I genuinely just laughed (heartily even) out loud at this comment. Well done.
hamsto24
I was gonna ask, "where's the striker fire and double-action?" But now looking at it, this was all I needed to know.
Counterfit

JacobTheUnicorn
Excuse you, that is a colt 1911. Samuel Colt says, "get rekt"
LHOdb
Invented by john browning. They were only made by colt. Not invented by the colt company
JacobTheUnicorn
Well shit, TIL. Thanks, pal.

What about automatic guns?
suihcta
fully automatic guns can be designed lots of different ways, of course, but some are basically the same as what's up there, except (1/3)
suihcta
(5/3) the gun shown above is, BTW, a semi-automatic pistol—which in some circles is referred to as an automatic pistol.
suihcta
(4/3) the second round, and cock the hammer is absorbed from the recoil of the first bullet leaving the barrel. It's super cool.
suihcta
(2/3)the trigger/hammer mechanism is tweaked a little bit so that when the 2nd round is fully in the chamber, the hammer is already starting
suihcta
(3/3) to drop onto the firing pin (as long as the trigger is still squeezed in). All the energy necessary to eject the 1st casing, chamber
WhatWouldKeanuDo
Being a mechanical engineer I am so turned on right now...

Can you explain how you got turned on? In an animated infographic please?

As an employee of the firearms industry, I'm pretty sure I came after the first gif set.

For the curious, I'm an apprentice/M.E. intern.

that magnets one amirite?

Being a chemical engineer, I am also turned on
WhatWouldKeanuDo
Haha perfect
twicemonkey
It's a mechanical engineer like you that came up with the phrase "suck, squeeze, bang, blow"
WhoareyouWhoamI
looks more along automotive engineering to me....
mobius501
i concur
TacticalPizza
Hhnngg!
spacetimejockey
nothing like science to hit the engineer in the head, the bullet animation is way off, the bullet will have left the pipe /
spacetimejockey
at about ½cm of contraction of the slide.. thats why recoil has minimal effect on the aim.
stealthgunner385
So is that engine.

Im studying to be a vet and I hope I never get to say that about an imgur post

Being a plumber, I get turned on by toilets
WhatWouldKeanuDo
I can respect that.
NickRivieraMD
Being a person who saw the thumbnail and thought 'buttplug,' so am I.
Ziiiro
So is my sister. Should I send her this?
kepler20c
She's probably already seen it, but can't hurt.
thealmightythor
Do you want your sister to get turned on?
jonbristow
I read this as "bring" a mechanical engineer. Soooo confused, why mechanical engineers turn you on
CrimsonFuckr
I'm no engineer (just a mechanic), but my boner is justified.
nighthawk23
Me tooooo

The question is this: Did you mean to make that pun? Either way...you've got me fired up

Brother haha
kepler20c
Don't know what he expected, women made up only 11.7% of ME bachelors degrees in 2011. Now, Environmental Engineering on the other hand...
WhatWouldKeanuDo
I know, not to say they aren't capable at all, but I had three in my graduating class of 100's haha plus guns and shit
kepler20c
The fact in 2011 44.3% of Environmental Engineering Bachelors degrees were awarded to women shows that they're capable, just not interested.
thealmightythor
I'm also an ME. What industry are you in?
HughWattmeight
Same here. Hydropower.

Aryn240
Hey guys, I'm studying to be an ME. Just passed Dynamics and Statics. I'm really enjoying it. Is it worth it all?
thealmightythor
It's fast paced, high stress, stuff goes wrong / breaks down all the time, and I find myself working more than I would like. (3)
thealmightythor
Also, I don't use my education in my current job. I shelled out a buttload of money for a top 5 school and don't use my education...sucks. 6
thealmightythor
Just have an idea of what you want to do. ME is very broad and you can probably get your foot in the door for any industry you want. (5)
thealmightythor
For me it would depend on the job you get. I interned doing mechanical design for the biomed industry, it was awesome. (1)
thealmightythor
For me, design is what I think I'd like to do for the rest of my career, manufacturing is OK but not something I love. (4)
ImAnEngineerForTheMoney
You enjoyed dynamics? You must have had a different professor..
thealmightythor
Great pay, fascinating work, non-demanding schedule (maybe just because I was an intern though). I'm in manufacturing now and it's tough (2)
wizardry88
My life is opposite from the liberal arts majors I knew: insanely difficult 4 years of college, easy well paying job once I finished.
thealmightythor
Ideally I'd be using all of that struggle & work from school to earn my living. My current job is just all intuition.
Aryn240
Wow, that's a lot of info! I'm really enjoying my courses, so I'm hoping to find something with my eductation, yeah
krazeeguitarist
Senior ME at Penn State here, just spent the last week consuming nothing but Venom energy drinks and cigarettes with... 1/2
krazeeguitarist
2/2 ... 15 minute naps in the engineering labs all week, I hope its worth it... Deans List every semester so far *fingers_crossed*
WhatWouldKeanuDo
Actually went into the manufacturing-ish side, I design PCD tipped tooling for companies, pretty cool
thealmightythor
Yep, I'm in manufacturing too. I work in a semiconductor fab as an equipment/process engineer. We actually use diamond cutting wheels.
WhatWouldKeanuDo
Saweeeet!

thealmightythor
Where? I'm based out of Dallas, I own backgrind which is an A/T process but we do it before the A/T for some reason.

Haha. Pretty sure we're both dudes, so I'll pass on that one.
