Eternal battery life for my smartphone
I technically can choose to never run out of battery power because I can portably always charge on the go without being tied to any wires or power outlets
Outcome you can reliably ensure might be a better way to phrase this and other submissions but you get what I’m saying 🕵
I read about people getting magnets implanted so that they can feel magnetic/electrical fields
Not quite ready to commit to implants, but i did try gluing some tiny magnets to my fingernails once.
I suspect that the implants are a bit more sensitive since they can kind of wiggle around under your skin more, but I could definitely feel some things, the two that stuck out to me were a forklift charger and an electric pencil sharpener.
I also got really used to picking up paperclips and other small metal things like that with them. I only had the magnets for maybe about a week, but I caught myself still trying to pick up paperclips with them for probably about a month afterwards.
I wonder what this would do to those Hall effect keyboards
Someone’s gonna destroy an MRI machine doing that.
And their skin at the same time
Luckily most people with those sorts of implants I’ve seen are fairly scientifically-minded, and I’d like to think that’s the sort of thing they’d think of and would wear some sort of appropriate medic alert bracelet.
It’s not like there aren’t other sorts of medical implants, piercings, situations like people with shrapnel embedded in their bodies, etc. out in the world that could potentially cause issues with an MRI machine.
So - you have a non-immediately-lethal aneurysm. They can strike anyone, at any age, and are almost impossible to predict in advance.
Seconds count. Your doctors now have to… what, locate your magnets and remove them before they can put you in an MRI to locate the issue and perform surgery?
I have a spinal implant; I got this specific model because of one key feature: unlike all other SCS devices in the market, the battery does not have to be drained before it goes into an MRI.
Shrapnel isn’t an optional decision, and they do try really hard to remove all foreign objects in surgery.
Magnets are a neat body mod, but IMO a stupid completely optional modification. At least tongue studs are visible and easily removed, and those are the most hidden optional… oh. Ok, I just thought of another awkward optional body mod they’d have to check for. Still external and easily removed, though, not like something implanted under the skin, and highly reactive in an MRI.
