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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes but so is wood and there are actual wooden didos

Where there is horny there is a way.

Hell, the oldest dildo is made of stone and definitely predates civilization

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

The oldest known one, i think the first one was also wood but its just not around anymore.

But yes, horny finds a way.

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

The seller's website does mention it's an alloy: https://shop.tungsten.com/tungsten-cube/

They don't say exactly which alloy but according to this page it's going to be 90-95% tungsten with the rest being nickel and either iron or copper: https://www.tungsten.com/material-info/tungsten-heavy-alloy-w-ni-fe-cu

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)

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.

it's solid enough to make APFSDS out of it, it'll be fine
