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

What if you implanted thousands of small magnets just underneath your skin all over your body?
Actually putting a magnet in your fingertip so you can “feel” magnetic objects is a bodymod I’ve heard some people do
But yeah, like @Pons_Aelius@kbin.social said, MRIs probably aren’t an option ever again unless you have it removed. I guess removing one from your finger would be easier than everywhere on your body.
I wonder if that works with, like, jewelry. Could you build up the same sensations if you, say, practically always wore rings with magnets in them?
I think so. I posted this link above about a belt that gives users a sense of direction relative to the Earth’s magnetic field.
I would guess probably! Just less sensative, I think they put them in fingertips specifically because of the amount of touch sensitive nerves.

You would be in serious trouble if you ever needed an MRI...
