"Miracles"

"Miracles", also known as "Fucking Magnets, How Do They Work?", is a rap track by Detroit horrorcore duo Insane Clown Posse in which Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope list off things that fill them with wonder, from giraffes to rainbows to pyramids1. The line viewers latched onto came from Shaggy 2 Dope, who paused mid-verse to marvel that "fucking magnets, how do they work?" and to dismiss scientists as liars2.

Online the song works less as music and more as a bottomless quote mine. People screencap the video's clown-painted close-ups, pair them with mock-scientific captions, and use the magnets line as a stock reply to anything that sounds like willful ignorance2. The tone is affectionate mockery rather than a takedown of ICP or their Juggalo fanbase, and the sincerity of the delivery is what keeps the joke reusable.

The common convention is to quote "fucking magnets, how do they work?" as a self-aware reply to any everyday science question, or to caption a still from the video with a mock-earnest observation about nature. Image macros typically use the wide-eyed clown-paint close-ups of Violent J or Shaggy 2 Dope with white Impact-style text stating something obvious as if it were profound.
