AnotherUsernameAre we taking about the dude who surgically implanted magnets under his skin so he could feel magnetic fields? Because that’s who immediately comes to mind
real_squidsThere are plenty, I saw some people on the internet implanting NFC chips in their purlicue, with proper equipment and professionals doing it but still.
ProdigalFrogCody’s lab?

There’s definitely more than one, and I worked with a guy who did that. Trying to remember his name.

But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t give the occasional side eye to the kitchen knife whenever I’ve had a bit to drink.
I am torn. Magnetic senses! Yay!
Sticking to the fridge! Booo…
Nah, if you do it right the wafers are thin enough that you won’t stick to things. You want them to be able to react to nearby EM fields, which means they need to be small and light so they can vibrate (? I don’t 100% recall the exact function they perform to give you this sense). Which in turn means the magnets are small and light enough that they aren’t likely to stick to objects, or wipe credit cards, or damage your phone.
But probably don’t pick up powerful magnets with those fingers and probably don’t get an MRI on your hands.
The reason I’ve never done it is that I’m high enough cancer risk to not fuck with my ability to get an mri
