While the original prop was adhered to Burton’s face using small filaments which ran behind the actor’s ears, Factory Entertainment’s metal replica will come with a display case and stand only — so if you want to wear it, it’s up to you to figure out how to make that work!

Instructions unclear, gluing rare-earth magnets to my temples.

Surely there are surgical options you could explore first.

You gotta speak to @Shadow about that avenue.

I have a magnet implant under my skin in my hand, no need to glue.

Just need a couple of these: https://dangerousthings.com/product/xg3/

I’m impressed, but why?

This was a popular body hacking mod for a while. It gives you a 6th sense where you can feel electrical/magnetic currents.

Its fallen out of favor a bit.

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

Why not? How often can you buy another sense?

Today I mostly forget it's there and occasionally am surprised when I reach for a running microwave, or am near high voltage lines. It's good for party tricks - I rub my hands together to pretend to make static electricity, then pick up coins. People then try to do it and obviously fail.

If you have a medical emergency and you need a CT scan, now you have two medical emergencies.

CT scans don't use magnets.

If I need an mri, they would cut it out. If I'm unconscious they won't use an mri, it's too risky (what if I had shrapnel from a war wound).
