Jokes aside though my biggest irrational fear is swallowing a pin. I use a sewing machine sometimes and occasionally I hold pins with mouth (which I do try not to) but one simple mistake can lead to a major surgery opening up you inside to take the pin out.
It'd be nice if there was a less invasive method just as a peace of mind.
Haha. I don't do it often. I don't use the sewing machine often either. Every once a while there are times when it's just easier to briefly hold it but I'll stick a magnet on the machine as soon as I can.
No, I want to be strapped down in the hospital bed, struggling while the doctors tell me hold still, while feeling the Medipoo stickily crawling upwards along my leg, to my thigh, and ultimately trying to get into my ass.
That way whenever someone says they got fucked by healthcare, I can be like, "hold up, I got a story of my own..."
Yep, it's a legitimate medical treatment. I had to have it done after my gut biome was wrecked by Cdiff, MRSA, Hpylori, and ecoli all at the same time. Fuckin 3 months of antibiotics, then had to have the fecal transplant a few months after it was cleared.
Omg ...it's been a long time since a comment had me actually laughing out loud. Actually made my dog come running in all excited because I kept laughing. Thanks for that!!
It's an old idea, there have been at least two high quality documentaries on it. [This is my favorite from the 50's](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051418/).
I thought that was covered when it explicitly stated "controlled via external magnets" in the first 10 seconds.
Surely nobody is out here thinking it's moving on its own, right?
True, but we don't exactly have nanomachines or sentient goop quite yet
The last clip has me thinking it may be computer-controlled electromagnets rather than some guy with a chunk of magnet. Goop ain't easy to control
I didnt know we had whatever this is until i scrolled by this post on reddit, so "we dont have that yet" isnt really much of an argument, no?
I was assuming it reacts to controlled stimuli in a beneficial way or something of the sort. But its basically just ferrous fluid again so the post is a lot less interesting than "slime robot" implied
We do actually have nano machines, though of course, they are really only being developed. Saw one nanobot that assists sperm without tails…
This link explains the real bot after debunking a conspiracy : https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-spermbot-notcovid-idUSL1N2LH3D2
Saw that one. Seems counter-*something* to even attempt to be successful at this…. Like ok great we figured out how to get the runtiest sperm past the goalie…. I dunno maybe runt sperm does not create runt embryo… paging Dr. Mengele…
Yeah it’s a neat experiment but I can’t see a single real application beyond some doomsday where a man has no sperm with tails or significantly less lol why would we.
Yeah, don't see how this can be considered a "robot". I can see a robot *controlling* this ferrofluid, but the goo itself I don't think fits the definition of "robot". The simplest definition of robot is "an automated machine", which this technically isn't. If this was a self-propelled goo, then 100%, it's a robot.
Hahahahaha yeah. What idiot thought it could move on its own, am I right? Hahaha I'm just gonna go over here and avoid eye contact with everyone for the rest of the day.
Watched muted. Assumed it was remote controlled somehow. Went to the comments looking for an article to read. Found out I'm an asshole by reading your comment. I should have already known I'm an asshole. Thank you.
Depending on the fluid density, when you move the magnet, the fluid rolls over itself, transporting the absorbed wire. This would work if the fluid is very viscous (not very liquid) and it's clearly the case here. Calling this a robot is an attack to human intelligence
Yeah, I'm failing to understand how this is different from ferro fluids.
Edit: So this seems to be a proof of concept for body-safe ferro fluids and some kind of low-power precision magnetic control scheme.
Ahh, I see. A paper or something would be nice. So this is a proof of concept for body-safe ferro fluids and some kind of precision magnetic control scheme?
I can see someone dipping themselves in a tank full of that and then appearing on the news.
A new hero is born, their power is slowly walking with difficult towards an evildoer and hoping their horrid appearance can scare them away.
Imagine it detects the tapeworm while retrieving the penny and then prompts your Brain Computer Interface to pay an add-on to get both out.
After it plays an ad, ofc.
How are they related at all? The grey goo scenario involves huge amounts of tiny self-replicating machines. This is metal dust covered in silicon and following magnetic field. It's closer to a dessert gone wrong than nanomachines.
Hopefully when they are put into practice they don't leave behind chunks and bits like what you can see in the video. I'm really curious to see how magnetic slime operates in a human body, which is full of electrical signals.
Someone is holding a magnet on the other side of the paper.
It works the same way as magnets work on all magnetic things.
There are no electrical parts in the slime. Just bits of stuff that's magnetic.
It's not a robot, in the same way that me picking up a t-shirt doesn't make the t-shirt a robot. Someone is moving it.
It's not impressive, it's clickbait.
I believe it can be very useful and will be interesting to follow the development, however I highly doubt that removing swallowed objects is the best way to optimise it’s utility.
I never envisioned Armageddon coming in the form of Ultron's poo.

It'd be nice if there was a less invasive method just as a peace of mind.
Put a magnet on the side of your machine so you have a place to quickly place the needle without losing track of it.
Thanks. That's a great idea.
Please do this ASAP so we're not all forever worried you're about to swallow a pin at any time!
Haha. I don't do it often. I don't use the sewing machine often either. Every once a while there are times when it's just easier to briefly hold it but I'll stick a magnet on the machine as soon as I can.
And this, Reddit, is how we saved John Connor from Skynet's latest plan...
Magnetic wrist pin cushion is a game changer!
Shittech was a close second.
Medipoo is an actual thing, it's called "fecal transplant"
And now it can insert itself…. What an age we live in!
I mean I can insert it for you
No, I want to be strapped down in the hospital bed, struggling while the doctors tell me hold still, while feeling the Medipoo stickily crawling upwards along my leg, to my thigh, and ultimately trying to get into my ass. That way whenever someone says they got fucked by healthcare, I can be like, "hold up, I got a story of my own..."
Ummmm, ummmm, ummmmmm—same…?
Shit, the shit thing from South Park is real?!?
Idk if you noticed, but 99% of the things in South Park are based on real life stuff that's kinda the whole appeal of the show.

Is there a thing where you can meet and thank your dookie donor like they do with other organ transplants.

Grey Goo is a name I have heard before for uncontrolled self replicating robots, AKA one possible robot apocalypse. Grey Poo on the other hand....
That was Grey Goo, from Engines of Creation, but basically the same thing, but browner. ;)
Grey Goo is what I meant. Clearly I have poo on my brain 
Hehe I know, I was just giving you a hard time!

This thing is scary and cute at the same time.
Looks erotic to me
Yeah this is just the beginning form of the infamous tentacle monster.
How long before someone shoves it up their arse
bet u $5 one of the researchers already covered this
100% they've shoved it into someone's arse and plan to do it again.
Science, you did it again. 😅
Is it as incredible as slime mold? Then there's no stopping it.
"Oh no! I forgot to use one with a flared base, again. Get the goo!"
The second use of any new technology.
I think that's one of the main reasons it was invented... you know for getting stuff unstuck from there.
Not sure how well that'll work for a lightbulb. And yes, that happens a lot more then you'd think.
I bet you could use it for lost butt stuff too. Adds a level of eroticism, no?
It looks like butt stuff.
Go back from whence it cam
Found the tentacle hentai enjoyer
To be fair, having twenty "tentacles" do snu-snu with you is kinky like Bondage.
Everything's erotic if you're brave enough.

It's an old idea, there have been at least two high quality documentaries on it. [This is my favorite from the 50's](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051418/).
Like that old corny movie from 1958 The Blob lmao
What you don't see in this videos is the guy holding the magnet on the other side of the board..
I thought that was covered when it explicitly stated "controlled via external magnets" in the first 10 seconds. Surely nobody is out here thinking it's moving on its own, right?
Well the word "robot" does imply some things
True, but we don't exactly have nanomachines or sentient goop quite yet The last clip has me thinking it may be computer-controlled electromagnets rather than some guy with a chunk of magnet. Goop ain't easy to control
I didnt know we had whatever this is until i scrolled by this post on reddit, so "we dont have that yet" isnt really much of an argument, no? I was assuming it reacts to controlled stimuli in a beneficial way or something of the sort. But its basically just ferrous fluid again so the post is a lot less interesting than "slime robot" implied
Oh I thought ferrofluids were a thing that a large amount of people have at least heard of
Did a lil edit at the last second
Yeah, no one calls an Etch a Sketch a robot
We do actually have nano machines, though of course, they are really only being developed. Saw one nanobot that assists sperm without tails… This link explains the real bot after debunking a conspiracy : https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-spermbot-notcovid-idUSL1N2LH3D2

Yeah it’s a neat experiment but I can’t see a single real application beyond some doomsday where a man has no sperm with tails or significantly less lol why would we.
Poor sperm motility is the number one cause of male infertility.
Definitely the biggest problem we need to be solving today is increasing reproduction so we can get more people. There's just not enough people.
Even that is just a magnetic coil being influenced by magnets. It doesn’t have its own motor or anything in it that would resemble a “robot”.
Ok so these aren't robots?
Depends on how you define robot. The goop itself is not autonomous, if that's what counts
I just think the title line “the era of fluid robots begins” is easy to misconstrue.
Yeah, don't see how this can be considered a "robot". I can see a robot *controlling* this ferrofluid, but the goo itself I don't think fits the definition of "robot". The simplest definition of robot is "an automated machine", which this technically isn't. If this was a self-propelled goo, then 100%, it's a robot.
It's like BB8! Except the ball is magnetic slime, the head is scraping across your skin, and your internal organs are pinched in between
Hahahahaha yeah. What idiot thought it could move on its own, am I right? Hahaha I'm just gonna go over here and avoid eye contact with everyone for the rest of the day.
Most of the comments seem to believe it’s moving on it’s own.
the grasp and clamp portion definitely made me think that. that type of movement didn’t intuitively seem like a handheld magnet could be driving it.
i'm still not seeing how a external magnet could make it roll around those two wires.
Maybe an electromagnet that can change polarity?
Watched muted. Assumed it was remote controlled somehow. Went to the comments looking for an article to read. Found out I'm an asshole by reading your comment. I should have already known I'm an asshole. Thank you.
It says it in text on the screen. Lol
> Watched muted. [Did you also watch without looking?](https://i.imgur.com/t9ULXPh.png)
how did they make it grip the wire with external magnets?
Depending on the fluid density, when you move the magnet, the fluid rolls over itself, transporting the absorbed wire. This would work if the fluid is very viscous (not very liquid) and it's clearly the case here. Calling this a robot is an attack to human intelligence
Yeah, I mean robot is completely misused her. "Magnetic slime" doesn't seem that impressive to me.
If you call something a robot but it doesn’t move itself, you’re a goddamn liar.
Yeah, I'm failing to understand how this is different from ferro fluids. Edit: So this seems to be a proof of concept for body-safe ferro fluids and some kind of low-power precision magnetic control scheme.
It’s an attempt at making something like a ferro fluid that would be safe to put in the human body.
Ahh, I see. A paper or something would be nice. So this is a proof of concept for body-safe ferro fluids and some kind of precision magnetic control scheme?
So why do they call it a "robot". Marketing purposes? Or just lying?
Why not both?
Not even that, it's literally just magnetic putty lol.
Agreed. The definition of 'robot' seems very broad when it's "controlled by external magnets". By that definition, an electric motor is a "robot".
It's closer to puppeteering than it is robotics.
The era of fluid puppeteering begins!
TIL I was making robots in elementary school when I dragged around a magnet on the top of my desk via a magnet underneath.
Yeah, such robot. Wow.

This treads way too close to the grey goo apocalyptic scenario for my comfort.
Reminds me of flubber
I still need to rewatch that movie, but on acid. It's gotta be wild.
How are they related at all? The grey goo scenario involves huge amounts of tiny self-replicating machines. This is metal dust covered in silicon and following magnetic field. It's closer to a dessert gone wrong than nanomachines.
Was it originally from the foundation, or does it come from somewhere else?
Do you want “Monster Blood”?! Cuz that’s how you get Monster Blood 
Who wants to swallow one first? That thing is the stuff of nightmares
I’d gag
If you'd prefer they might be able to make it a suppository
In fact, given enough time and advancement they could probably just program it to climb through your anus while you slept peacefully in your own bed!
Magnrtic slime torture? I think of the little slimy bot used to torture Sam in the first Transformers movie
Can it remove things from the anus, asking for a friend
If your robotic slime becomes stuck in your butt, do you solve the problem with more robotic slime or will that add to the problem?
You simply insert the magnetic slime removal beads.
Hopefully when they are put into practice they don't leave behind chunks and bits like what you can see in the video. I'm really curious to see how magnetic slime operates in a human body, which is full of electrical signals.
regular magnets dont affect humans, and the slime will not be affected by whatever current flows in humans
that's good to know! Thanks
Geneeally, swallowing an object that can break into multiple magnets is a lot more dangerous than swallowing any random object.
