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.

'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.

I would guess speed of sound is the upper limit of what MRIs can accelerate small metal objects to. So it's easy shorthand for an author who didn't know anything about MRIs before writing the article to reference. obviously something so large and inside a human would not accelerate to those speeds.

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.

weird that they happened to be in a hospital, tho

Yeah, some crazy people want to have their MRIs at a hospital rather than in the woods like you're meant to. Takes all kinds i guess

I want you to realize the human ass can spread up to 7 inches. Oh course this can happen and they survive.

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.

It's a buttplug... Vibrating isn't much of a warning, and it's hard to be reasonable when you're about to cum.

I feel like you've made a great T-Shirt here...

"It's hard to be reasonable when you're about to cum."

This isn't real please stop spreading misinformation

There is an FDA report on it. There is nothing saying that it is a hoax or that it is fake.

If you're going to claim something is fake then I highly recommend you actually provide sources to back yourself up instead of this weirdly aggressive accusation based off of, seemingly, literally nothing.

It's also just not how MRIs work. The magnet is on before the patient is in the room. They would be injured before the scan. The fda incident is likely heating due to eddy currents in non magnetic metal which is more in line with the injuries people sustain with their rings and shit when not removed. Like why induction stove has magnetic interlocks else wedding ring cuts finger off

So it's just another clickable lie, because of course it is, it's too perfect. I can't fact-check everything and it's a bad use of time if I have to.

I gotta get off of social media entirely, I can work with fiction presented as fiction but it's just an endless firehose of lies from people who think they have a god-given right to lie as much as they need to, on every platform. The AI thing is just getting started. I lost track of reality several months ago, and that's not supposed to be some sort of jokey joke.

you can't prove a negative. How do you prove something didn't happen.

Read your own link, no attached image, no mention of internal hemorrhage, no mention of material. The misinformation post might be inspired by this but that image isn't real.

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.

You can always treat stuff as science fiction and enjoy regardless. What's the harm!

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.

A lot. Imagine antivax and flatearther use your argument when caught lying.

Man, I could be wrong but I swear the flat earth started as a joke like the whole "birds aren't real" thing. But it had a more intellectual thought excersizey angle like "tell me why the earth is round". I know for a fact that's how my earth science teacher used it getting into how to structure a testable hypothesis and the scientific method. I wonder everytime I see flat earth shit when exactly he had to retire that one. It's to bad because it was great then.

I can't fathom trusting anyone besides a medical professional enough to leave any sort of "black box" foreign item inside me while having an MRI.

The world's deadliest torpedo.

Buttpedo

Or

Tearpedo

But now that I have written it, it sounds like some specialization of the pedo class humans, da fuq, I am going to sleep.

Very valid lawsuit for a deviant.

This post reminded me of the fact that there was a local punk band when I was a kid that had an awesome song called "vibrating buttplug." I wish I had a recording of it.

Should have walked in backwards for a safer test.

Wonder how it would feel to have it ripped out at that speed

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!"
