Are we taking about the dude who surgically implanted magnets under his skin so he could feel magnetic fields? Because that’s who immediately comes to mind
There are plenty, I saw some people on the internet implanting NFC chips in their purlicue, with proper equipment and professionals doing it but still.
🙋Present. I happened to break that wrist too so this is what mine looks like.
that’s a magnet or nfc chip? what do you use it for?
That’s a fun new word.
I’ve wanted to do this from the very moment I learned it was possible, circa 2014.
Unfortunately it’s kind of difficult to find a doctor who will do this sort of elective surgery for you. So my options are kind of just, do without, or do it myself. So far I’ve just done without. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t give the occasional side eye to the kitchen knife whenever I’ve had a bit to drink.
Maybe stop looking for a doctor and start looking for a tattoo/piercing person.
The reason I’ve never done it is that I’m high enough cancer risk to not fuck with my ability to get an mri
I am torn. Magnetic senses! Yay!
Sticking to the fridge! Booo…
Nah, if you do it right the wafers are thin enough that you won’t stick to things. You want them to be able to react to nearby EM fields, which means they need to be small and light so they can vibrate (? I don’t 100% recall the exact function they perform to give you this sense). Which in turn means the magnets are small and light enough that they aren’t likely to stick to objects, or wipe credit cards, or damage your phone.
But probably don’t pick up powerful magnets with those fingers and probably don’t get an MRI on your hands.
There’s definitely more than one, and I worked with a guy who did that. Trying to remember his name.
Cody’s lab?
that’s still what a bio hacker is… chuds use all sorts of words wrong.
“i took a vitamin! im a biohacker!”
nope, you’re the same dude who took steroids in the 80’s.Idk. Hormone therapy is def biohacking to me. Taking horsepills or whatever on the otherhand… thats just dumb
Like the person who surgically added small magnets to their fingertips and can now feel electrical and magnetic fields.
There are many who did that

I’m glad to hear that. Seems like a useful thing.
I was lucky enough to see that Four Thieves Vinegar Collective dude talk about DIY HRT and medications and I must say, it’s been a while since I saw that much unhinged-ness live on a stage.
I am not even interested in taking any medications, but man, that was… something. I believe like actual biohackers are exactly that, people applying the “hacker spirit” to biology. Someone sees dubious powders and liquids ordered from some factory in the outskirts of Nanjing the same way I see a slightly scorched PCB or a probably-still-good LiPo.
wow i just watched a talk of one of them so cool!
What’s wrong with butter in coffee?
It’s nasty bullshit?
Does it count as biohacking if you’re trepanning your own forehead with a dentist drill? It won’t let you sense magnetic fields, but it might allow ghosts to tickle your prefrontal cortex?
By the way, if anyone can find Heartbeat in the Brain, please let me know.
