Silicon is not silicone, so that spot is not correct...

Unless you're talking about using one of these fuckers:

Galium should be fine as long as it's below body temperature.

The only reason it's red actually is because of burns and irritation to mucus membranes. It's far less dangerous than most. So yellow would probably make more sense.

Pain must be relatively immediate to qualify for owe, my ass. Some of the yellow ones are insidious killers indeed.

Edit: I'm making the distinction that I'll make ones that cause relatively guaranteed death purple.

I don't know. Isn't Tungsten kinda brittle?

If it's resilient enough to survive hitting a toilet from three stories up, it's probably safe to put up your butt.

The assumption is that all elements are in solid form at STP and crumbly/unwieldly elements have a suitable binding agent. Or you know, determination I guess?

Would a 90%+ Tungsten alloy count? (See other reply for context)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Hey man. I think the rules are kind of flexible here. I'm not the dildo police.

Edit: Personally I'd say 'binding agent' could mean the most pure alloy you can make a dildo out of.

Yeah but if we want to be scientific about it, we need rigorous definitions.
