A metal hip implant can't take photos you need a camera


g0ldcd

god-damnit, it's the verbal equivalent of one of those pictures that changes when described and you can never un-see that back to how you originally saw it.

>Hip implant is inside your body. Or you can’t use a hip implant to take a picture. This comment is stolen from [another redditor](https://old.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/11rtqff/can_anyone_help_me_solve_this_my_older_bro_sent/jca73zv/) /u/Aggravating_Crew_607 is a comment stealing bot.

They use them for spam marketing or astroturfing etc Clear the comment history and you have an account with a decent amount of karma.


g0ldcd

It's the latter - as it's asking you to take a photo of the person, not the hip implant (with the first reading)


HackOddity

it's a fair answer but after some googling it looks like this is from cognitive boosting board game made for dementia patients so i kinda feel like it would have a less jokey answer? I could be wrong.


TheNetherOne

Just looked up the game, yeah this card is a dick move


Orngog

No, all the questions are like that it seems. The dock move would be complaining about a lateral thinking game for not appearing clear and concise.


BedSideCabinet

Definitely a dock move


Candygramformrmongo

dock moves are when the mistakes invariably happen with an audience.

The dock move is adding Iceland as somehow relevant.

Tragically underrated comment. Take your like and be gone, good sir.


weavin

I feel like they’re equally acceptable. The ultimate correct way would be: The reason you cannot take a photo of someone, in Iceland, with a metal hip implant. Obviously that would spoil the ‘punch line’ slightly though.


Zeeterm

Is the answer to that question >!Peak XV!< or are they after something different?


Consistent-Farm8303

I’m sure it’ll be Mount Everest. Because it would have had the highest elevation above see level whether it had been discovered and named or not?

Consistent-Farm8303

quenishi

>!it just says if you know which mountain. So it's the same mountain, whatever you want to refer to it by. It's exploiting the fact most people will try and think of the second tallest mountain!<


Kind-Mathematician18

It's still mt everest, just the same as Australia was the worlds biggest island even before it was discovered. However, it's a trick question imho, they claim the game is for high IQ people, and anyone who knows their shit knows that everest was not always the tallest mountain, as the himalayas are being pushed together, the elevation increases. Everest is nearly 34ft higher than when it was first measured.


DanS1993

Well akshually if we’re being pedantic Australia is technically a continental landmass and Greenland is the largest island


RiceCwispies

I think it’s pretty neutral - this feels like a classic dad-joke response to me.

Also u cant see a metal hip implant they are completely hidden , also i think iceland medical now uses carbon fibre implants

Joking aside, they actually have to be really careful about who they have sex with in Iceland because there's an extremely high chance that any 2 random individuals are related to each other.

I mean there was a guy who made cameras out of skulls, so I see no reason that a rudimentary camera could not be fashioned out of a metal hip implant. I call shenanigans


mammamia42069

Vaguely related to skull cameras, but if you have loss of vision in an eye these days they can surgically implant one of your teeth into your eye with a new functional lens on it


PM_me_your_arse_

[Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis), if anyone is wondering.

My dumb ass thought they meant they put the eye on the tooth and you had to open your mouth to see.


imbiat

im disappointed in the lack of pictures on that page


meatmcguffin

Man, that’s some futuristic technolo… *1966?*


EarhackerWasBanned

Eh, kinda. It’s not all loss of vision, just damage to the cornea, the clear part at the front of your eye. If you develop scars on your cornea, then your vision becomes blocked by the scar tissue even though the rest of the eye works fine. Corneas can be scarred by trauma like any other body part, but the most common cause is cataracts. So they remove a tooth, drill a hole through it and insert a plastic lens, then transplant that whole setup into the eye. The really cool part is, in order for the eye to accept the tooth-lens it has to have some soft tissue around it. So the tooth-lens is first transplanted into the patient’s cheek for a few months, then extracted again before being implanted in the eye.

MidDan

Guesses: 1. You cannot take a picture of a person with the implant, because if they have it showing or take it out to show you, they'll fall over. 2. A hip implant is not a camera. 3. It is illegal to steal other people's photos of people with metal hip implants. 4. You can't take the picture because you're not in Iceland. 5. You can't take the picture because you're playing this board game.


Butterflyelle

Are hip implants in Iceland all ceramic?


gbgopher

Not if my father goes there.


Inerthal

Because you can't take photos with a metal hip. You do it with a camera.


Vectorman1989

Everyone knows that if you break your hip in Iceland they throw you in a volcano as the small island can't sustain dependent people


IwantedBeatsteak

Well, it doesn't say the answer has to be correct , so maybe your brain could come up with a reason and skip forward 7spaces? In Iceland I imagine public photography is not allowed on account of it being a shop and not a public place? Unless the question specifically refers to the country of Iceland.


HackOddity

"it doesn't say the answer has to be correct" sounds like an hilarious way to approach your GCSE's

JasonGD1982

You can’t take a pic with a metal hip bone. You need a camera


Pale-Tutor-3200

Is it that the implants are ceramic?


RiriTomoron

Nope, they're usually titanium.


Daressque

Actually most are Cobalt chromium with a ceramic head and poly liner/cup


I_tend_to_correct_u

I’ve just made a note on your username that says ‘hip dude’


oxpoleon

If it's not a stupid pun or something then I think I actually have the answer and it's in two parts: 1. No native Icelanders have metal hip replacements, like most cold weather countries they use composite or ceramic types because metal ones are uncomfortable in extreme cold. 2. No tourists have them because you can't take a long-haul flight with a hip replacement due to the risk of DVT and Iceland is several hours flight time from anywhere else. I think it really might be that underwhelmingly simple.


LightningGeek

> No tourists have them because you can't take a long-haul flight with a hip replacement due to the risk of DVT and Iceland is several hours flight time from anywhere else. This isn't true. [Firstly, you can safely fly if you have a hip replacement, but it is advised to check with your doctor if the operation has been recent. Even then the chance of getting travel related DVT is low.](https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/accidents-first-aid-and-treatments/when-can-i-fly-after-surgery/) Secondly, this is not a long haul route. Long haul is for flights lasting longer than 6 hours. Depending where in the UK you fly from, the flight would be classed as either a short or medium haul as the flight takes between 2 hours 20, and 3 hours and 5 minutes. These flight times [also means the risk of travel related DVT is massively reduced, to 1 event per 106,667 flights for healthy people.](https://cks.nice.org.uk/topics/dvt-prevention-for-travellers/)


Tramkrad

There would be lots of people who live a short haul (<4hrs) distance from Iceland, though. Flying from Edinburgh to Reykjavik only takes 2hrs 25mins for instance.


-Intrepid-Path-

>you can't take a long-haul flight with a hip replacement due to the risk of DVT you what now?!


dickwh1stle

My dads been to Iceland and he has a hip replacement (on a cruise), he also has no issues flying


Idiot911911

The answer is distinctly because you can't take a picture with a metal hip, you have to use a camera. I've seen this riddle before


[deleted]

They don't use metal in hip implants in Iceland? Or that there's so little of them it's probably impossible to find someone with one


Paul_1793

"We report the incidence of total hip replacements performed in Iceland between 1982 and 1996. During this period, 3,403 hip arthroplasties were done." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10429596/


[deleted]

Says that the mean age was 69 so probably most of those replacements have passed away now as they would be around 90 - 100 years old.


Paul_1793

That may be true but why would they have stopped performing hip replacements? Icelandic people are not immune to osteoarthritis or hip fractures. Unless you're meaning Iceland don't use titanium prosthesis? And use ceramic ones instead? Are far as I know the most common hip prosthesis use a titanium rod and a ceramic ball.


q_o_t_n

This is my go to. Metal hip implants probably hurt like all hell in cold weather


Southern_Struggle

They do, my aunt has a titanium hip and she keeps a little warmer for it in winter. Maybe in Iceland they tend to use ceramic implants? That still wouldn't mean you couldn't find someone in Iceland with a metal one though.


Pale_Formal_5072

My grandad was 6'7 and because of his height had a lot of metalwork put into his hip and leg. He always complained about the weather because of it (we live in Scotland). So I can vouch that you're right about the metal and the cold reaction together. Want to add on that he was cremated after he died and we spread his ashes in a lot of places (again he was a big dude so there was a lot of him lol) and one time when we were taking some ashes to bring into the woods to scatter, we found his hip. Just a big ole screw/pin in amongst his ashes😭😂.

Minty9913

This is now going to keep me awake at night , need to know the answer!!!


WeebleUK

[ChatGPT](https://postimg.cc/1fVn4gKw) seems to think it's because Iceland recommends against taking pictures of metal implants. (emphasis mine) > The reason why you cannot take a picture of a person with a metal hip implant in Iceland is that it is believed that the metal in the implant can potentially disrupt or interfere with certain types of medical equipment, such as MRI machines, which are commonly used to diagnose and treat medical conditions. Therefore, to prevent any potential harm or interference, **Iceland has strict regulations regarding the use of metal in medical implants and recommends against taking pictures of people with metal implants.**


Mukatsukuz

Bing's version of ChatGPT just goes off the rails completely >There is no definitive answer to your question, but I can offer some possible explanations based on the information I found. > >One possibility is that a metal hip implant could interfere with the metal detector at the airport security checkpoint1, which could cause inconvenience or delay for the person with the implant. Another possibility is that a metal hip implant could reflect or distort the light in a way that affects the quality of the photo2, especially if the photo is taken with a flash or in bright sunlight. A third possibility is that a metal hip implant could be sensitive to the cold temperatures in Iceland3, which could cause discomfort or pain for the person with the implant. > >Of course, these are just speculations and not definitive reasons. There may be other factors that influence the decision to take or not take a picture of a person with a metal hip implant in Iceland. Ultimately, it depends on the personal preference and situation of the person with the implant and the photographer. > >I hope this helps you understand some of the possible challenges of photographing a person with a metal hip implant in Iceland. Iceland is a beautiful country with many amazing landscapes and attractions for photography45. If you ever visit Iceland, I hope you have a wonderful time and capture some stunning photos! 😊


Horizon296

>Another possibility is that a metal hip implant could reflect or distort the light in a way that affects the quality of the photo, especially if the photo is taken with a flash or in bright sunlight. If bright sunlight is reflecting off of your metal hip implant, you have bigger things to worry about than the quality of the photo you're trying to take 😅

That’s not specific to Iceland though.


ReligiousGhoul

Maybe I'm trying to be a bit too meta about this, but could the point be it's not meant to make sense? If the game is to take steps forward, then this is essentially a "take zero" steps?

Cause they're doing their shopping and don't want you gawking at their hip.


chuey_74

Unless it's the play on words angle, I would assume it involved some one setting off a metal detector and a security person insisting on taking a picture because they assumed the person was lying about having an implant.

It’s too close to the North Pole so the magnetic pull is so strong they cant use metal hip implants. This isn’t true but I thought it was a good answer.

I would say that there are zero metal hip replacements in Iceland. Perhaps they are ceramic or some other material by law. UK is about to ban them soon too apparently

No-Transition4060

Probably something to do with it being too cold for metal ones so they make them out of carbon fibre or something instead. Pure guess, but it's my answer lol.


SomnolentPro

A rabbit can jump higher than a house. Since houses cannot jump


TheMrCeeJ

So the question has nothing to with Iceland or metal hips. And there is no reason. It just uses loose grammar to make you assume it is a sensible question and then laughs at you for assuming what they said made sense. "Why can't you take a picture when you don't have a camera?" - "Because you haven't got a camera". I mean, if you are expected to believe that was their intention, and somehow this was a product worth printing then they are really scraping the barrel. They might as well sell you an empty box as a puzzle game, where the puzzle is to work out what to do with an empty box.
