Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Lucky it wasn't worse. You can't have any metal on in a huge rotating magnet. Dumb is gonna dumb.

Oh no. ~~A CT scanner is a giant rotating electromagnet~~. An MRI is a giant quantum electromagnetic tube. It’s so, so much worse. It is literally unpredictable as to what might happen with metal inside of it. She’s lucky she wasn’t literally torn to shreds.

A CT scanner is a rotating X-ray device. No rotating magnets here!

Ah thanks for the clarification! And you are right about torn to shreds. I recommend people go watch those videos that show what happens with metal in MRI machines.

We're lucky she didn't merge with the gun into a super soldier!

I thought the "M" was for "Magic". Silly me.

My proctologist said my Magic Ring could benefit from more fiber.

sfp+ or sfp28?

They had it set to “M” for magnetic when they should’ve had it set to “W” for wumbo.

The M could have really been for Murder! (Well, probably more like Manslaughter, but close enough.)
