Time Sucker
With grateful acknowledgement to C_Trebor, who started it | |
//I once stuck a large suction cup to my leg before. I remember blood pooling in that region until I felt a very sharp, intolerable pain.//
Thats pretty much the idea, except it could be transparent so you can watch. Make it in various shapes. The cup sizes are determined by research. My best
guess: time is inversely proportional to sucker size. A smaller suction cup will be comfortable longer. Each person will account for his/her pain threshold, and choose the size accordingly.
It's a timer which uses yourself as the alarm. Stick a Time Sucker on your body, then have a quick nap, start water boiling, etc. You will definitely know when time is up. And you'll have a reminder spot.
Note this isn't for pulling innards from one's body [snarfyguy's link] -- gross -- Are those bell jars?? It's more about a craft store soft rubber slight-vacuum version like at po's [link] mail-order suction cup shoppe.

"Cupping" as a medical procedure goes way back. I'm not sure what the point of it, or of this idea, is. |

someone wears it on their eye. |
