Sunday mystery. How magnetic is litter?

[Rooster Podunk]

We need Scully and Mulder on this ASAP.

Why is there litter on the floor of zero-G stations?

Shouldn't we be dodging discarded gum? A couple of Starbucks cups floating by to obstruct my aim? Some mission reports stuck to our facemasks?

The floor is lava velcro

 

[Factabulous]

Right now we have issues with plastic in the sea and micro-plastic everywhere. In the 3300's they have the same issue with iron filings. They're everywhere, in the pizza boxes, in the drink cups. Damn iron and its magnetic nature

 

[CMDR Sophie Joanne]

There are millions of tiny micro-pores in the floor, pulling a very small vacuum, sucking the rubbish down to the floor and holding it there.....

I thought this was about kitty litter.

Only litter ? Let's see :
benches (magnetic bottom)
crates on benches/ground
glasses filled with liquid (melted iron ?)

Remember, 0g hold no power over you if you don't believe in it.

I find it funny that 0g outpost are the one filled with litter, while non 0g are clean. I feel like it's on purpose.

benches (magnetic bottom)

This one is my head canon. I love the idea of pilot's fightsuit having a magnetised bottom.

But why though ? It takes actual effort to do that, it's not resting.

Exciting gameplay!

Familiarity for the Inalowdas? Maybe they get confused if they can't sit down, and struggle to feel like they are actually resting.

Plastic magnets. Integrated in everything.

Just think artificial gravity. It makes life a whole lot easier.

Funny thing, if the suit computer wouldn't say it's 0g, I would probably don't think of it.

Fairly certain it's trolling at this point.

No! I will not admit defeat!

'Artificial gravity' - the forum's new swear word.

This. That computer voice is just getting your attention on everything nonsensical. Sometimes, if you can't explain, it's better to say nothing. Same as telepresence.

She's like the dude who explain the trick during a magician show "see that mirror over there ? that's how it's done". Well, thanks dude.

Or plain old static electricity which also can make objects stick together.

So much static in those station, it's a wonder no hair is raised. Which is another unnatural thing in 0g, BTW.
