Magnets and a choking hazard? Did RFK design this shit?

adrew.dadguy.online•3 days ago

lol i used to use these to make it look like i had fake lip piercings... i mean ... who ...could have seen this coming ???

hillenjoyer.bsky.social•3 days ago

i have real ear piercings but i don’t wear earrings so they’re closed but i tried to do the fake earrings thing with these anyway and the magnets are so strong that they re-peirced my ear, also these things are fun as hell and already got banned over ten years ago

adrew.dadguy.online•3 days ago

oh yah it was painful to have them on my lip ngl

hillenjoyer.bsky.social•3 days ago

leave em long enough and you might end up with an actual lip piercing. that’s how they kill you afterall, swallow one and then a little while swallow another and the will find each other in your gut and give you some neat organ piercings in the process

yeah I used to have that toy version where there were dozens of strong little spherical magnets maybe 2-3 mm across each, very cool, very fun to play with, seems completely innocuous, but then you read about "if you or a kid or a dog swallows 2 separately they'll ventilate your intestines" .... yike

hillenjoyer.bsky.social•3 days ago

i would have them and play with them every day if i didn’t have small children i’m trying to keep alive

ok i will keep my ear stories to myself from now on i think that’s the consensus

nutmeggles.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah aren’t they already banned?

pumpkinpal.bsky.social•3 days ago

I mean I think they stopped selling ones explicitly marketed as toys and earrings but you can still buy tiny magnets in large numbers, no problem.

nutmeggles.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well obviously, this is America

Still my favorite* recall toy story.

*not because of what happened to the kids (that was fucking horrific) but because of how absolutely nuts it is.
