I don't know. Isn't Tungsten kinda brittle?
Hell, the oldest dildo is made of stone and definitely predates civilization
If it's resilient enough to survive hitting a toilet from three stories up, it's probably safe to put up your butt.
The seller's website does mention it's an alloy: https://shop.tungsten.com/tungsten-cube/
They don't say exactly which alloy but according to this page it's going to be 90-95% tungsten with the rest being nickel and either iron or copper: https://www.tungsten.com/material-info/tungsten-heavy-alloy-w-ni-fe-cu
The assumption is that all elements are in solid form at STP and crumbly/unwieldly elements have a suitable binding agent. Or you know, determination I guess?
Would a 90%+ Tungsten alloy count? (See other reply for context)
Hey man. I think the rules are kind of flexible here. I'm not the dildo police.
Edit: Personally I'd say 'binding agent' could mean the most pure alloy you can make a dildo out of.
Yeah but if we want to be scientific about it, we need rigorous definitions.
it's solid enough to make APFSDS out of it, it'll be fine
