Are modern electronic devices (i.e. cell phones) still susceptible to damage from magnets? (lemmy.world)

I remember when I was growing up (decades ago), my dad instilled in me to never put a magnet up to a computer or TV because they would cause irreparable damage to the screen. While I'm sure that SOMEWHERE out in the world there's a magnet strong enough to cause damage if given enough time or whatever, but in terms of what I can buy from a store, would it be safe to keep my cell phone and a magnet (say, one of those 'clicking' fidget toys with half a dozen or so small magnets) in the same pocket, or am I just asking for trouble?

Edit: Thank you everyone for all your answers! I now know far more than I expected to from this silly question 😁

Wow, wasn't expecting that. You need any help removing that rose bush from your asshole? Because it's clearly setting off some nerves and causing any rational parts of your brain to be replaced with unwarranted bouts of vitriol and rage. You should probably see a doctor before you lose any chance of becoming a respectable person ever again

    I know you're using hyperbole, but that's just factually untrue. I know many avid moviegoers who care about the craft just as much as the final product itself. Is it every one of my friends? No, absolutely not, some will still go see whatever Disney or MCU schlock is being put out now simply because of the brand label, but that's far from the general consensus. I'm aware that this is all anecdotal, but still, please try to overgeneralize a little less; the more frequently half-true opinions like that are spouted, the more likely it is that they become the truth (at least in the eyes of the big studios)

    Basically the unknowing propulsion system for Mingy and Gary from one of South Park's lowest ranking episodes. Personally ai don't hate it at all, but I do see why it's "the worst of a good thing" in many people's eyes

    I mean, TSA does, but they're searching through thousands of people a day at each major airport. And even though this small island in the middle of nowhere clearly doesn't have their own TSA checkpoints, I agree with you that it still shouldn't be the pilot's responsibility. Ignoring the legality for a minute, let's say he did choose to check and upon finding (Jesus Christ) a six pack of beer, he decided to refuse service to the passenger. Now they're both kinda screwed/stranded if the guy doesn't decide to just throw them away or start chugging

    Hello, non-Americans, do you have any Chinese language classes in your education system? (lemmy.world)
     

    As an American who grew up at a religious school in the 90s, we absolutely did not (or at least I never had access to one). Obviously places like Kora or Tibet have been effected in their history (I still want to read your answers 😁), but what about, for example, New Zealand? Or Sierra Leonne? Or Portugal? I'm just curious to see how pervasive the new Global Language already is by this point.

    BonusQuestion: Is it mostly following their Belt-and-Road Initiative? Wouldn't that be something?

    How do I make enough money to live? (lemmy.world)
     

    Yes, I do have a full-time job, and I even enjoy it, but it doesn't pay enough to survive in this hellscape of a world we live in. I lack the college degree required to get almost any decent-paying job (plus my last job hunt took MONTHS to get a lead), I don't have the skills or originality to become an online content creator, nor the artistry or patience to create and sell trinkets on Etsy (plus, that would require an initial investment which I simply do not have). Should I set up a GoFundMe? OnlyFans? I wouldn't really be offering anything except a charity basket/collection plate so that feels dishonest at best. Idk, I'm quite literally having a breakdown because I'm probably going to lose my car soon, and then my job, and then my apartment, and then my life. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you
