    Doubt a flare helps much when it’s being propelled by such a strong magnetic field.

    I wore a steel ring to an MRI, and the second I got anywhere close to the machine I could feel it vibrating on my finger. There was definitely warning signs for this person, and they still went ahead.

    He might be an attorney, but it isn’t certain, but instead estimated to be one.

      “I dunno, homeboy just started yelling at me that he was gonna sue and using all this… this fuckin’ post hoc and calling me ipso fatso. I’d estimate he’s probably a lawyer. Anyway, I was like ‘habeas corpus, well maybe it’s Morpheus and take your butt-plug bullet with ya!’ You wanna get an MRI? Empty your prison pouch!”

    X for doubt.

    There’s no way someone survives something as big as a butt plug moving from their arse to their chest at near the speed of sound. You might as well put their internal organs though a juicer and see if they survive.

      Surely “speed of sound” must be an exaggeration, i don’t see the object reaching mach 1 and then stopping within such a short distance.

      Plus they happened to be in a hospital, so chances of survival are maximized.

      ‘speed of sound’ is clearly an exaggeration…

      MRI machines have some pretty powerful magnets, but they still won’t accelerate anything to the speed of sound, let alone an object held reasonably securely and only within the space of ~12 inches.

      It’s not a particularly large or sharp object; I could see it being pulled through the inside of a chest cavity mostly pushing stuff out of the way. Definitely ‘major injuries’ though.

        No snopes says:

        Although we couldn’t determine with certainty whether this claim was accurate/authentic, we observed it had at traits often indicative of misinformation:

        The account itself later referred to the tweet as a “shitpost,” which is a post that is deliberately absurd, provocative, or offensive, according to Merriam-Webster.

        Using the Internet Archive, we found the viral image in a since-deleted Reddit post from April 8, 2023. The post was titled “MRI to CT.” The caption included in the post claimed the patient said they didn’t have metal on them, but that the material inside the butt plug had metal balls.

        The screenshot of the text wasn’t included in the post. We could find no social media posts about the claims that came from anyone with the name mentioned in the text as the lawyer representing the person.

        They further point out the fda report predates that post by 1 day so it could be inspiration for the joke or maybe real but no confirmation and then explain a bit about MRIs.

        So basically they can find no primary sources, lots of evidence of a lie, but no primary source claiming to have made it up.

        Increasingly large segments of society are losing their grip on reality. Distinguishing fact from fiction requires practice if it is to work when it matters.

        Just look at OP asking me to prove a negative, something literally impossible.
