that 1 in 100 pieces of computer paper produced in the US contains a small magnetized cereal number so that law enforcers can trace where the paper was purchased in case anyone uses regular printers to print out ransom notes or murder diaries?

1. ransom notes are made from magazine letters
2. what happens when 99% of typed and printed ransom notes are printed on the 99% of paper that does not have this serial number? seems incredibly ineffective

they used to be but now people just type em because you can't trace typings. they mix all the paper together so yeah it's like not gonna be on every single sheet but it'd be too expensive to put it in every single sheet. apparently when the reams are stacked up the magnetization can transfer between 4 pages, 2 below the cereal page and 2 above it. try it out if you have a rare earth magnet pretty good cool stuff!

i'm gonna go ahead and say that paper can not be magnetized.
and saying "people just type em because you can't trace typings" goes against what's said in op

uh, earth to meekus...marked notes don't stop cats from robbin banks hombre. and this obviously isn't widely published information, i heard this straight from the source cause my dad works for a ink sublimation company so he's tight with all the paper guys

when you can form a logical response, we'll talk. but saying in the op that essentially a tracing device is put in 1/100 pieces of paper so it can be traced, and then saying people type ransom notes because they can't be traced is stupid.
also, paper cannot be magnetized. you're a moron

that is a logical response beef-teef. i just used an analogy. like i said people aren't aware that paper tracing exists so they continue to use the paper for ransom notes. and paper can be magnetized, it's coated with a negligible amount of an ironized gel that was originally developed for spacemen with ticklish peeners.

so the ironized gel is being magnetized, not the paper. and now people are aware, because you're spilling industry secrets.

...whats the difference? put turkey on a sandwich and it becomes a turkey sandwich. put a magnetized gel on a piece of paper the paper is thus magnetized. dont argue semantics with me you astronaut's wet dream. and no i'm not spilling secrets because NS isn't real it's a government conspiracy. a magnet is placed on the inside of a space suit and then ironized gel is rubbed all over a spaceman's ticklish peener. this helps keep the spacemen's peener from tickling too much on exit and entry of the earth's atmosphere by suspending the spaceman's peener in a protected and stable magnetic field. this is science.

it's like painting the metal body pieces on the car red and saying the metal itself is now red. no, the metal is not red, it is just painted red.

the problem with ticklish spaceman peeners is that if they tickle too badly it could cause a spaceman to lose control of his wheel thus causing the whole space ship to crash. i dunno about you but a ticklish peener is a hard thing to deal with, especially wrapped up in the many layers of tinfoil and athletic tape that is a spaceman suit. if it tickles THAT BAD then yeah you're just gonna have to deal with it, even if that means abandoning your mission and putting your copilot and trained space monkey at serious, serious risk. this is why they invented this gel.



...i mean a red car is a red car butter bear. no one says "yeah my car is metal colored that was painted red"...semantics are a silly argument...

i'm not saying that people do, i'm making a point that just because a material is covered in another, it doesn't mean that material is magically transformed.

well the term magnetized doesn't mean that an item has to be transformed into a ticklish spaceman's peener...
