After touching two needles against a "special species of lodestone," they would become "sympathetic" to each other, and from then on always point in the same direction regardless of distance
Something something quantum entanglement?

Love this submission. Never heard of it, and I've read it twice already and still can't get what they were trying to achieve, lol.
I'm thinking immune response rejection was probably an issue
If both of you start to experience rejection of the tissue, that just means pain projection is working as intended!
The listed sources are from the 19th century... I wonder if anybody ever did this, or it's just apocryphal.
Quantum entanglement... but with skin
Quantum skintanglement
If this shit worked, we wouldn't have smartphones; we'd just have our friends, family and coworker's skin grafted and tattooed on our bodies.
I remember I was still young enough when Myspace came out, being in someone's top 8 or whatever was a big deal... having your skin graft removed from someone's arm would have been devastating.
I'd still prefer the smartphone, personally.
...I'll take the alternative.

Goodbye horses...
Well... did it work? 😹
If only I knew how to crosspost. The world building and TTRPG communities would love this.
On voyager:
Let me know if you can't figure it out, and I'll be happy to crosspost.
In the web browser there should be this button:
People today believe magic crystals can cure cancer or curse someone. There's always been dipshits. 🤷
People are so dumb. Why not binary for way less skin?
Binary takes up way more space when written out. Because binary translates to numbers, and those numbers will need to be translated into characters, the two people would need to settle on a common character set to ensure that messages can be properly decoded and not end up with the black diamond question mark symbol. Personally, I like UTF-8, but it might not be the best choice because some characters may take up much more space than others, resulting in a potential buffer overflow.
If it popped up now days I bet if it started as binary in would be simplified to morse code, it would even look like a dot and dash
Yeah way more space written out but way less skin.
I think we’re missing the obvious. No one can timely speak binary or other like that and the convenience is a selling point.
A few different skin locations may make more sense then a meat keyboard. A stab above the left knee= danger
I could also reason that a scam should use a preys language but I can’t imagine what a scammer would get out of selling this operation.
We're overthinking this. The real reason they didn't use binary is because it wasn't invented yet back in the 17th century.
I can’t imagine what a scammer would get out of selling this operation.
That's because you don't have skin in the game
