    Make sure you pass your mod duties to someone who can do it.

    Actually don't bother. No-one will notice if you aren't here.

    more correct scientifically "the South pole is going North"

    The "North" pole attracts the north pole of magnets, so it must be a south pole.
    So the Northern hemisphere is really the southern hemisphere? Do tell the flat earthers this is all the proof they need.[emoji23]

    Ah yes, well done. I was wondering who would be the first to spot that.

    As you understand, but for the benefit of the messes, the North Pole is heading towards Russia. Magnetically, it's a south pole (because the north pole of magnets point to it). If it's moving that fast, and anomalously, it must be that Putin has a source of North monopoles attracting it.

    Monopoles are used for easy fusion reaction. So Putin has developed cheap fusion power.

    And so we're all doomed to be taken over.

    Obvioiusly I understand the implications completely but just for the benefit of those idiots who don't could you summarise them?

  • Polar express: magnetic north pole moving 'pretty fast' towards Russia

    Earth’s north magnetic pole has been drifting so fast in recent decades that scientists say that past estimates are no longer accurate enough for precise navigation. On Monday, they released an update of where magnetic north really was, nearly a year ahead of schedule.

    The magnetic north pole is moving about 34 miles (55 kilometres) a year. It crossed the international date line in 2017, and is leaving the Canadian Arctic on its way to Siberia.

    The constant shift is a problem for compasses in smartphones and some consumer electronics. Planes and ships also rely on magnetic north, usually as backup navigation, said University of Colorado geophysicist Arnaud Chulliat, lead author of the newly issued World Magnetic Model. GPS is not affected because it is satellite-based.
