But Henderson, who co-founded the hoverboard’s parent company Arx Pax with his wife Jill, imagines the technology that’s inside it could become a solution for keeping buildings from getting destroyed in floods and earthquakes by simply lifting them up.

What is the worst magnet idea you've ever heard?

The worst one I heard was when I was like 8 years old and my 4 year old brother had the idea to eat a magnet and we had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night (magnets can actually gently caress up a kids intestines)

Pretty sure the "waves" the ground makes when an earthquake happens rise more than an inch from normal. Also whene your mom walks.

Yeah, but you can buy a useless non-hovering plastic model of it for the bargain basement price of $500!

bottlehanger magnets created so much space my fridge is now bigger on the inside than the outside. one of the localized spatial distortions has reached three degrees kelvin and im concerned this will affect my electricity bill.

cans are the best packaging for beer, superior to bottles in many ways, but the canning equipment is prohibitively expensive so a lot of good breweries use bottles because they're cheaper but there are als ogood breweries putting out beer in cans now
