Serious implications for the magnetosphere.

The earth's magnetic field is decreasing:

Interestingly, the poles do not just "flip". Sometimes there will be
multiple north and south poles.

The rate of the earth's rotation may change by a noticeable factor too due
to this.

What effect will this have on Scotty's toaster? Will he have to toast with
the axis of the slices aligned east-west instead of north south? Will the
toaster settings be altered? When he drops the buttered toast will it still
fall buttered side down?

Only science can answer such questions!

Amen!

Um, it's not the Earth's magnetic field that is keeping us on, Scoot. That
would be gravity.

But I'll bet your boat's compass is starting to spin, eh?

That, and maybe Joe's boat will quit pointing north all the time now.

be and how long will it last.

When?
