Silicon is not silicone, so that spot is not correct...

Unless you're talking about using one of these fuckers:

The answer to all is "yes, but watch out."

Galium should be fine as long as it's below body temperature.

You can put oxygen up your ass though

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nitrogen and noble gases shouldn't be a problem either

[–] Simon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty hard to make a dildo out of gas 🤔 Unless you're a cloud?

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah but why would it cause rectal damage?

Solid state gasses are in the range of -200C

Pain must be relatively immediate to qualify for owe, my ass. Some of the yellow ones are insidious killers indeed.

Edit: I'm making the distinction that I'll make ones that cause relatively guaranteed death purple.

Eh, you'll shit it back out

The most consequential update to the Periodic Table since its creation.

Is this actually any different from the licking chart? 🤔

I don't know. Isn't Tungsten kinda brittle?

[–] Technus@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it's resilient enough to survive hitting a toilet from three stories up, it's probably safe to put up your butt.

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?

[–] Technus@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would a 90%+ Tungsten alloy count? (See other reply for context)

[–] Simon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Technus@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah but if we want to be scientific about it, we need rigorous definitions.
