mystes posted:Does literally every product in the world have to be labelled with whether it contains metal that might not be immediately obvious just because someone might randomly try to take it to an MRI scan? does it weigh more than one would expect? probably? i also know from experience with kitchenware (failing!) that most silicone implements of a certain size have some amount of metal/wire in them somewhere for structure

a metal core in a butt plug is super weird actually. most dildos and butt plugs usually don’t have them and I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that does

# ? May 26, 2023 17:45 |

my understanding of butt plugs is that wearing them discreetly out in public is part of the appeal of owning one at all. someone who makes them would probably know that use case, but probably wouldn't know mri screening procedure

mystes posted:Maybe materials should be labelled for all products for other reasons but that seems completely separate from this case to me this is pure fun thought experiment driven by a funny (though of course tragic) real event, if we're taking serious basis for legislation we're going to pass i not only don't think this case relevant, but there's probably other more important laws to pass yeah.

they are going to blanket ban butt plugs in mri machines and that's just going to hurt people that do proper butt plug due diligence and test ferromagnetism themselves

Don't they put people through a metal detector or something before MRIs? It seems like accidentally bringing in metallic objects would be a huge danger in general

mystes posted:lots of products are designed to be worn in public. Do they all need to have labeling to indicate whether they are safe to wear in an MRI or in a zero gravity situation or in parallel universes?

Yeah I don't know about legally but I would sure as gently caress hope the MRI tech would screen all objects for metals

They may also be used to detect internal ferromagnetic objects, though their reliability in this regard is still under investigation.

i think the person wearing the butt plug to an mri scan is weird, creepy, and deserves mockery. but that's beside the point that, like, their sex toy shouldn't say "100% silicone" if it's not 100% silicone.

just make everyone walk backwards into the mri room so if they have a metal butt plug it's pulled out rather than in
