Help me make sense of this meme...

[EversorAssassin]

I had an awful time on 4chan last night. I went to /b/, and it told me things that I didn't really care about. But one thing really stuck out. Here it is, though.

I was on the second or third page, and I saw this meme that kept popping up from time to time that I never paid attention to. "F*cking magnets, how do they work?" and I just want to know what the crap is supposed to make it funny. It's usually accompanied with various 'troll science art' of magnets doing things they shouldn't do.

Then I left 4chan. Not angry. Not raging. Confused, though.

But, how do they work? I mean, I've always figured that when some rocks are taken from the ground, they still have bits of gravity in them; so stuff is attracted to them.

Lately I've been going to various scientists. None of them give me any real answer on this.

Any thoughts? I don't know where to go with this.

Guise I got trolld but good.

The gravitons and graviolis are what give objects their distinctive magnetism... among many other fantastical properties.
