There actually was a guy who wore a buttplug with a metal core in an MRT. The plug shot through his body like a high velocity bullet and was stopped by his sternum. He survived with severe internal injuries and sued the company selling the plug.
People like that guy is the reason some MRIs require you to walk through a metal detector first. People are stupid and will ignore safety measures all the time.
Sounds like that guy wasn’t being stupid though. He didn’t know it had a metal core.
If I’m remembering correctly, the butt plug he was using was marketed as being 100% silicone, so he figured it would be safe. He didn’t know it had a steel core in it.
you still have to question why he was wearing it to an MRI appointment
I’m assuming he needed it.
I had abdominal surgery several years ago and the surgeon mentioned that they left some clips inside. To this day I have no idea if they are magnetic or not.
Apparently once the clips are fully melded with your body that may no longer be an issue. Note I am not saying it won’t be an issue.
If going for an MRI fill in the questionare and bring it up with the doctor before stepping in the MRI no matter what. Better safe than shotgunning yourself.
If the plug was advertised as being pure latex or whatever, then fair enough.
Yeah, that was exactly the case. Still weird to think “hey, I have this medical check-up today, better wear my best plug!”
Especially a medical procedure where they will see that you have a butt plug in
Maybe that’s his kink
Want to know how one would figure out they have a kink that specific
Maybe they forgot? Lol

Who hurt you?!
The buttplug manufacturer who said it was 100% silicone.
The MRI operator.

Imagine metal teeth fillings
Dental fillings are fine in an MRI, so are all manner of implants.
The comics here seem to be getting worse every day.
Kids these days dont know coins are not magnetic
If the coins are magnetic that’s what would happen. But if you’re going to violently tear a hole in your abdomen, the hospital is where you want to do it. I’d say there’s a fair chance you survive and live a medically complicated life
I think your chances of surviving this are similar to your chances of surviving a shotgun blast to the stomach… Even in a hospital it’s not good
Wrong, you only need metal that reply to magnetic forces, it doesn’t have to be magnetic in itself.
You forgot to start your sentence with “akshually”, but we get your intent.
Trying to recreate Alien (1979) is never a good thing.
Dumb ways to die. So many dumb ways to die…

They wanted to have their reserves in case of an attack by koloss or shardbearers
Copper and nickle are magnetic?
I have shrapnel in my leg, it’s copper and brass, and I have had MRIs with no ill effects. Fucks up some CAT scans and xrays, but only if they are scanning that leg. It’s so small, though, that modern metal detectors don’t register it anymore.
I don’t think most coins are magnetic. They might get rather hot tho
If it’s magnetic resonance imaging, then if your magnetic resonance matches the MRI’s, you’ll just shatter like an opera singer breaking a crystal glass.
i kinda want this to be the punishment for proven/repeat conviction child molesters.
Ferrofluid would be interesting In this situation.
Sounds like a Bunny Suicide
