So it's rubber/silicone only then or is there another metallic option? Asking for me.

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well I think as it relates to fingers, precious metals are fine. Generally soft enough that cutting isn’t an issue.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably not depleted uranium.

I want my kids to have superpowers though.

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's depleted. They'll just get something like lead poisoning but much worse.

Gold and silver are safe. Lead is dangerous for completely unrelated reasons. Cupric alloys are probably safe assuming you aren’t allergic. Speaking of allergic you can definitely do nickel if you’re completely not allergic to it. Aluminum should be safe.

Under no circumstances should you try tungsten.

Plutonium and Uranium are RIGHT OUT.

You can crumble a tungsten ring with a pair of vice grips with minimal force.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Maybe I’m just remembering the time I tried to bend tungsten and needed a bandaid afterwards

Get you a girl --

[–] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why not? Tungsten smashes easily with a hammer.

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (3 children)

You know what else smashes easily with a hammer?

A duck? Very small rocks?

A flea in a box, inside of another box that you've mailed to yourself?

Not in my dialect it isn’t. Cupric is at least how it was spelled in engineering school

[–] subtext@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Sorry, that was a crude joke

cu-prick

Dude, just because the hospital can cut off softer materials doesn't mean you want to end up at the hospital for them to do it. Just use silicone.

[–] ampedwolfman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's my kink though. You haven't lived until you've seen a saw revenge up to 8000 rpm as it heads for your junk.

[–] bcron@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not metallic and not sure about ‘alternative uses' but ceramic is good for finger rings at least. It's non-conductive, you can use a pliers or tap it hard with a hammer to shatter it if needed, and if it snags on something in a horrific accident scenario it'll usually shatter before degloving or severing a finget
