    My argument is that you can’t feel magnetic fields. What is yours, because all you write is utter nonsense. Electric fields are induced, not magnetic fields, it’s called Faraday’s law of induction, inductive field is not a technical term. You get a magnetic field from an induced current which is caused by the electric field in a conductor.

    First of all, there are no “inductive fields”. There are electric and magnetic fields and what you can feel or sometimes hear are the electric fields.

    Edit: I don’t understand all the downvotes, but whatever. Specifically what you can hear near high voltage power lines sometimes is partial discharge which is caused by high electric field strengths.

    Ackshually, AFAIK around 5% of the population are homosexual. If that is completely ignored in the graph, the actual number would be closer to 22%. It could possibly be even lower if you consider bisexuals who just not had sex with women. And if you consider that homosexuality is much more accepted these days the numbers are skewed and the percentage could be even higher among younger people.



  • Honestly, I’m not sure if that really applies to Germany. A lot of downtown areas are kind of dying because they don’t know what to do with the space that is left empty when stores close, but it’s usually not the kind of store you would consider a third place. I suppose those stores drew people into the downtown areas and then people also went to a café or something, but the cafés are still there and people still go there. I haven’t heard much about closures of theatres, museums, libraries and so on. What kind of third spaces are you missing?
