  All magnets will fail to work so most trains won't run anymore and you'll have to use SSDs or tape storage for your computer. GPS systems will no longer work and Google Maps will spin around constantly. Only babies (and crows) will need to live underground for the first 6 months of their lives to ensure they don't develop vertico.

    Aren’t tapes also magnetic storage?

    > All magnets will fail to work I'm not sure what you responded to since it was removed, but I assume it was something to do with the subject of the article... Why would all magnets cease to work if the Earth's magnetic field went funky? Surely neither the magnets on my fridge nor the magnets in a train's electric traction motors do not depend on the earth's magnetic field being oriented any particular direction. I'm not sure, but I think AC train traction motors don't even have permanent magnets in them. Compasses would get messed up though.
