Alternatively, what would happen if the loss of magnetism instead happened gradually over a period of time?
generally speaking, mass chaos and hysteria and then nothingness.
if we exclude the possibility of “magic” doing it, and instead focus on the realistic causes of a loss of magnetism the chances for just magnets to be directly impacted are low.
that is, the strength of phenomena that would be required for all magnets in the world to cease functioning it would also likely cause the magnetic cohesion of molecules and atoms to break. this breakdown at the atomic and subatomic level would cause a chain reaction where we would both cease to exist and explode with enough energy to destroy the universe.
if any atoms of you survived at all, they would be flung to the outer reaches of the universe in seconds only for the entirety of the universe to be sucked into the void such an explosion caused. it would probably be something akin to a big bang.
my hard drives…
All the shit would fall off of my fridge.
According to Trump, a rainstorm would cause that to happen. But wouldn’t put out the fire that is Portland.
I’m no expert, but I feel like magnets losing their magnetism would also cause electricity to stop working.
Most electricity is being created with the use of magnets i motors/generators. No more electricity then.
Asides from batteries and solar.
On the bright side we could stop wondering how do they work.
The earth is a giant magnet.
You’d be burned to a crisp by solar winds ;)You’d be burned to a crisp by solar winds ;)
No, you wouldn’t. You’d start getting cancer.
Also, the atmosphere would start getting worn away. Most people would die of cancer before it’d get bad enough to asphyxiate everyone though
Just wait till night time
My tapes nooo
Rather than listing all of the ways modern life and society would collapse it’d be easier to just say this:
Your ability to understand the world would in an instant be limited to the people that immediately surround you and you’d better quickly think of a way to find a clean water source, some land, grab an “Agriculture for Dummies” book, and some form of weapon to defend your new homestead with your new tribe.
Nah, don’t worry about that shit. The earth just lost its radiation shield.
Well is this about permanent magnets loosing their functionality or the whole concept of magnetism just vanishing?
One puts us back to a steampunk technological ceiling the other means the universe pops out of existence; electricity, magnetism, and light are closely linked so removing one is likely to just break reality.
bro stop im gonna cum
Magneto wouldn’t be cool anymore.
You would hard pressed to learn about the details without electricity and communication networks.
If you mean a complete absence of the electromagnetic force, then chemistry and physics are going to get very disastrous for us very quickly
A fairly disastrous set of outcomes described in the comments so far.
Thank goodness though, that you didn’t ask about there being no springs.

Ha ha, wow, someone at the Simpsons is an MST3K fan, I think.
A lot of kids’ art on the ground
The Earth’s magnetic field is gone and we all die.
Finally, some good news!
