I like to tell owners of pacemakers or IUDs that they are cyborgs.
Pacemaker owners are usually jazzed about it, but your average woman doesn’t want to be labeled a cyborg for technically having implanted technology…
Shame, I’m enthused to be labeled as such, woth only an IUD.
You know the low battery "beep" that smoke alarms make? Internal defibrillators also do that when their battery is low. Apparently it's extremely effective at getting patients to come back in for a battery change.
That’s amazing and sounds incredibly annoying! No wonder they are OK with being labeled as cyborgs!
Does it make them skip a beat?
They might pause for a tick, sure
The average woman doesn't seem to understand sci-fi is the only genre that matters.
Same for everyone with fillings.
I mean thats technically true I suppose but the first recorded dental work is neolithic, and only ever serves to restore function rather than change or improve it, so I’m not super sure that counts.
Like the IUD situation, it depends what threshold you have for technology, and your definition of cyborg.
As someone who's talked to plenty IUD owners about being a cyborg, I question your sampling
