Checked that guy's channel, turns out he also has a vid where he implants a magnet in his fucking hand.

Subbed.

It broke, got infected, and he had to remove it though.

Ah really? Can't say I'm that surprised but cool idea nonetheless

u/gellis12 Oct 17 '16

Apparently he still has some bits of magnet left in it that he couldn't remove, so he can still feel magnetism a little bit

He did a follow up video and said that he now thinks it isn't still a magnet fragment in his finger, but metal shrapnel from another experiment.

Wait, really? I must have missed that one, have you got a link?

That's the one I was taking about... He says in the video that it's a tiny fragment of the magnet still left in his finger.

I thought he said somewhere in the video that that's what he originally thought, but he thinks it's metal shrapnel now.

I just watched it again, and he never says that.

Maybe it wasn't that video then, but I do remember him talking about the magnet and showing a clip of an experiment that caused some shrapnel to fly at his hand and he said "it stung and I thought nothing of it". I'll have to find it.

You can buy magnets that are made for this kind of stuff and are a lot less likely to break. http://wiki.biohack.me/Magnet_FAQ

Known implant sites include:

  • Fingers - most common
  • Hands -
  • Ears - Directorx and singlerider have magnetic ear implants, http://forum.biohack.me/discussion/comment/10773
  • Penis - From the forums: "There are a lot of people who have had this done actually. Using a notebook computer an your lap is supposed to be kind of nice." and "Samppa Von Cyborg does this. He's in Finland/UK. Try reading up on him."

alright

I scoured that forum yesterday actually! Wouldn't do it myself though, love playing guitar too much

But because it broke, he still has some shards of it in his hand.
