A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.
Edit: I should have read the comment section before typing this, people are already talking about it lol
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 would guess probably! Just less sensitive, I think they put them in fingertips specifically because of the amount of touch sensitive nerves.
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.
