Materials Science of Novelty Objects
From Dildopedia, the free encyclopedia
The materials science of novelty objects is a fictional interdisciplinary field concerned with the composition, durability, and dishwasher-survivability of objects that exist primarily to make people laugh in this article. It draws on chemistry, engineering, and a great deal of making things up.
Polymers
Silicone dominates the field owing to its flexibility, longevity, and the way it makes everything sound vaguely medical. Manufacturers describe their silicone as โplatinum-cured,โ a phrase chosen specifically to stop you from asking follow-up questions.
Thermal properties
Specimens are generally not rated for temperatures encountered in dishwashers, ovens, or any situation involving the phrase โI wonder ifโฆโ. The field strongly, fictionally advises against experimentation.
Failure modes
Documented (invented) failure modes include battery swelling, seam separation, and the catastrophic and permanent loss of the proprietary charging cable. The last of these is considered an unsolved problem in the discipline.
Sustainability
Researchers continue to explore recyclable and biodegradable alternatives, in a study that began the moment this sentence was written and ended immediately afterward.
