Needed to get a replacement magnet for a fridge magnet ornament which had sentimental value

This is what arrived

I think we'll need something a tad bigger. Whilst it is genuinely a magnet it isn't one of those super strong niobium ones or anything

Did you design the Stone Henge model for Spinal Tap?

You wanted one at 12mm diameter and got one at 1.2mm.

That’s shrinkflation for you….

Let's just say usually this kind of purchase is sub-contracted to me but on this instance it wasn't

That is actually damn dangerous

button magnets cause real problems if swallowed - and that would be very easy to loose and accidentally swallow without realising it!!!


must have some specific use - but not ina house as far as I can see

Swallowing a single magnet is normally just monitored via scans until the patient passes it.

It's swallowing more than one that causes potential problems.

And this one being a fairly weedy one is less of a problem than a couple of the bonkers strong niobium ones which might trap body tissue between them

As an aside it is apparently common practice to get cows to swallow a sizeable magnet which catches more harmful things like bits of barbed wire and nails which they can eat whilst grazing. It then stays in their first stomach where the metal sharps are seemingly less harmful

Can you stick it to a spoke and drive an odometer from it??

 

[gbb]

Yep, we've all been there. We'll, I haven't but my wife has several times over

 

[Time Waster]

Was it just one? If you got say 10 of them could all ten work if stuck to the fridge magnet well?

To attach documents to a white magnetic board.
I see them at work all the time.

To attach documents to a white magnetic board.
I see them at work all the time.

very small light documents I presume

although - on that point - just how powerful if it - would it hold a sheet of A4 to a white board or fridge??
