The vibrations, which are powered by a battery encased in the swallowed capsule, can be triggered when stomach acid dissolves a membrane around the pill, or by a timer.
Seems totally safe, certainly nothing can go wrong here.

They've been doing it with cameras for some time now. Although I have not researched for any instance of injury.
You mean a fully independent, swallowable camera?
Yeah, saw it on TLC in the late 90's early 2000 on life in the ER. Super low res but also had a light
I wanna put it in my butt
That's the wrong way, butt don't worry, it'll get there eventually
You do you
Interesting, I’ll have to look that one up.
Thank you, and here’s more reading with some history of it

Fascinating stuff, especially that it’s been around for so long. This new proposal seems less problematic now.
Looks like the main risk is not being able to pass it through and needing surgical removal, with one being retained for 4-5 years.
if I swallowed a vibrator I will probably eat 40% less and not because of feelings of fullness
depends which end swallows it, really
Add some wax to the capsule until it gets to the right spot before turning on...
Or how far along the digestive tract it is
So… after it comes out… can you reuse it? Like have a set of three or four that you rotate through???
plz no
Good news, I brought my poop knife home from Reddit, just for a special occasion such as this.
As if throwing away batteries from single-use vapes wasn't bad enough, now we'll be literally shitting away single-use batteries directly into our sewage systems.
I'll stick to swallowing live tadpoles thx
Can I get this for recreational purposes?
So we're into shitting lithium batteries into the sewage system now are we?
So, eating slow carbs plus high quality protein is not good enough anymore?
Imagine just having the will power to eat less!
Just so I'm clear, I don't mean to discount or invalidate genuine struggles.
It's just that I'm seeing lots of news about medication which helps symptoms, but not their underlying cause.
There's actually a really good video by Jeff Nippard, in which he dicusses the problematic view some people have, about obesity being a choice.
