Comment on Magnetism only feels like magic, because we don't have biological sensors for it

  It doesn’t even have to be a finger. There are so many underused parts of the body

    Why do I feel called out by this comment

      Any nipple can be a magnetic antennae

        I have nipples, Greg. Can you make me a magnetic antenna?

        Finally mens nipples get something to be useful at.

        I vote for mens liberation and rights for magnetic nipples!

    Probably shouldn’t put any at the base of your penis, women with piercings might not enjoy it…

  That was one incredible cyborg rabbit-hole I just went down.

  Get ready to make friends with every TSA agent you see for the rest of your life, and pray you never need an MRI.

  Fair point, but then, most people don’t have this.

  And even if you do it, you need to get some experience for your brain to develop a model of what to expect in certain situations. For instance, your brain will need some time to get used to the fact, that putting our hand on a fridge will give the brain new sensory stimuli because of the magnets on the fridge.

  This intuitive understanding of light and sound is just that - brain neurons being used to what to expect. And even with an implant you would need to train that.

  Though I’m definitely curious to experience once how that would feel like 😄

    Get a tight-fitting glove, sew some magnets onto the fingers, wear the glove for awhile.

      At least that won’t be disastrous if you need an emergency mri, they’ll just take it off

        And you can still go through airport security.

    I mean, it’d be no different than what it does for all the other sensors. Just those kick on and start training at birth whereas any augment is going to be in adulthood. But the brain is really really good at figuring that stuff out so it’d be interesting, kinda want to do it now lolol

  detecting magnetism will rarely be useful for humans especially in the context of survival

  • cm0002@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    You would have at least one part to a functioning magnet at all times lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯
