Right. That's my point. Almost ALL of the people that freak out about pole shifts on the internet are confusing the two, because they are fucking retarded and don't understand magnetism.

They might be thinking of the Dzhanibekov effect. That would be bad news. Spheres generally have one moment of inertia, but there are some large scale structures inside that might be enough.
There's that gravity hole in the indian ocean for instance. Earth is weird.

Trust me when I say that these people are not thinking about anything beyond "Earth spins on North/South axis, if the poles shift, suddenly we spin different and die!" despite every single person mentioning "pole shifts" referring to magnetic poles. They have no idea what that effect is, and most of them can't explain magnets as well as Insane Clown Posse can. Hence, one guy writes about pole shifts, and another guy talks about the planet stops spinning. Because they are r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d. Say it with me. Retarded.

The magnetic poles shift CONSTANTLY. You can look it up, older plans north arrows occasionally had the angle from true north on it. It can and has shifted anywhere between 15 and 100 kilometers annually. The surprising thing it, it is moving in almost a straight line towards siberia. This is due to the core not being homogeneous right now the north magnetic field is stronger on the Siberian side of the arctic. It WAS -north pole -over 1000 kilometers on the Canada side ~30 years ago. It is 14.2 degrees west atm

Yeah they have to change the numbering on runways in airport every 7-8 years or so because of this, since they are named according to their magnetic azimuth.

Interesting.
Airport Runway Names Shift with Magnetic Field
Earth’s shifting magnetic field affects airports and airline operations, including runway names. NCEI’s World Magnetic Model is a guide.

To be fair, proponents of the catastrophic magnetic field shift stuff are usually talking about a complete reversal of the magnetic field (N to S), which has happened repeatedly throughout the earth's history.
The best studied recent example is
en.wikipedia.org
While there are some interesting details here I'm not advocating this theory, just saying I don't think anyone ever said slow changes in the magnetic field were a problem.

AFAIK the biggest real concern for magnetic field reversals is the whole biosphere gets hit with much higher levels of cosmic radiation. Along with changes to weather patterns and in some cases increased volcanism.
Again I am not making the claim that it leads to mass extinction or anything, this is hotly debated and I don't know enough to have an opinion. Just pointing out some of the issues thought to be caused by these events.

So what you're saying is that a pole shift would devastate this planet if you had the power to make it do so.

Sort of, but really I'm saying that *I* would devastate this planet if I had the power to do so.

If the power arises from a pole shift happening, and you believe in its devastational potential, doesn't that mean you'd off yourself?

The Sahara Desert is probably your best example of changing climates, and most people believe that its the shifting magnetic poles that brings the area into vegetation and out of, again, and again. If you could control it to some degree, you could decimate billions of people - yes. Between the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, and the Sahara/middle east - theres just too much shit coming up before and around the younger Dryas period that discredits main stream archaeologists.
Shit gives me real Indiana Jones type of vibes, and I bet theres a ton of stuff buried all around those areas thats just lying in wait, to be discovered.

I thought the axial precession cycle of earth would be the cause of this.
Fun fact, some dude theoretized that a glaciation has occured on earth every 41'000 years, over the last couple of hundreds thousands years, due to both axial precession and the influence of jupiter/saturn on our orbit. The peak of the last glaciation was 21'000 - so "we" should see in the next few centuries a clear stop to the earth getting hotter. and this wont be due to CO2 taxes.

Really good vid:
There are so many very different interpretations. The big mystery for me is where were the daughters of god? The watchers must have gotten really ronery over the aeons.
Oops looks like video unavailable. It's the "Who were the Nephilim?" video off the ReligionForBreakfast channel.
