Comment on Magnetism only feels like magic, because we don't have biological sensors for it
Stoneykins@mander.xyz 1 year agoActually 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.
