Think about it. Isn't light+eyes and ears+sound just the same in terms of their "influence at a distance"? We don't feel that as abnormal or magic - simply because we've sensors for them and are used to it. But physically speaking light and magnetism are based on electromagnetic forces.

You can implant a small magnet in your fingertip and then have the ability to sense magnetic fields.

It doesn't even have to be a finger. There are so many underused parts of the body

Why do I feel called out by this comment

Any nipple can be a magnetic antenna

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

I have nipples, Greg. Can you make me a magnetic antenna?

[-] thirdBreakfast@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Would be handy for attaching your name badge, or if you need to put those little hard drive screws somewhere so you don't lose them.

[-] clumsyninza@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

That's actually a good idea.

Does the space cold

Make your nipples go pointy, Bowie?

Do you use your pointy nipples as telescopic antennae

[-] swnt@feddit.de 11 points 9 months ago

Finally mens nipples get something to be useful at.

I vote for mens liberation and rights for magnetic nipples!

Magnetically sensitive taint here I come!

With my luck I'd get stuck to a steel chair

[-] Guilvareux@feddit.uk 9 points 9 months ago

Never lose a game of musical chairs tho

[-] TheSaus@lemmy.fmhy.net 3 points 9 months ago

You stand up and the chair sticks to you like a gmod model

[-] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 9 months ago

Don't be gross tammy

[-] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Probably shouldn't put any at the base of your penis, women with piercings might not enjoy it...
