    Those actually get reused. There hasn’t been a new pair of silicone boobies manufactured in the past ten years. It’s also one of the most common reason for hauntings.

      If you want to be really specific, bones do not rot per se. They go trough diagenesis, where collagen and minerals breakdown over long periods.

      Yeah, we are actually removing them and return to the families in a separate package.

        I choose to believe your fib because the thought of grieving families keeping granny’s fake tits next to her ashes on the mantlepiece is too funny.

          It’s not only funny, it also stabilizes the mantelpiece during an earthquake and prevents the urn from toppling over.

      Imagine they take them out and dispose of them separately, and some dude finding out at the open casket that his wife was packing fakes for their entire marriage and being outraged.

      It’s like a bad sitcom plot.

            Sort of, but it’s a stretch on my part. The premise of the movie is that some people have been hired to clean an abandoned psychiatric hospital and, well, some things go wrong.

            At some point one of the cleaners finds the crematorium and collects various leftovers from it. That’s the extremely tenuous connection I was making.

        But they’ll rupture and leak…

        Like, they’re not even a “lifetime” thing, go 20 years and you’re risking it. Most are recommended to be replaced after a decade, maybe 15 years. Which isn’t that long for a major surgery and why they’re almost always insured.

        I knew a stripper back in the day that would basically beat people up with them, because if it ruptured she got new ones free, and if they didn’t rupture soon, they’d last long enough she’d have to pay for new ones out of pocket…

        Because they’re not a permanent thing.

          I would imagine that any artificial thing (including implants) could last forever when left undisturbed for any given length of time.

          Your argument hinges on use and abuse; not something typical inside of a casket, buried 6-feet underground.

            Pretty much everything oxidizes and breaks down. Being non-biodegradable just means bacteria won’t eat it.

            I mean, as an analogy think of plastic bottles. Left alone they break into tiny tiny pieces that get everywhere. This is often caused by the sun or abrasion, but underground you’ve got the preparation materials, rotting flesh gasses, and plenty of microbes.

              However, except in probably exceedingly rare cases, there are no microbes that can subsist off of silicone.

                True of plastic too, no? Yet just by living nearby they break things down.

            Then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how things happen, and an oversized confidence in modern caskets.

            Not to mention what seems to be a complete lack of understanding what “artificial” means

            I mean, cocaine isn’t safe for the body either, but try telling that to a big breasted stripper while she’s punching you in the face with double D’s.

            Lots of people make risky decisions…

            But in this case it’s pretty safe. Ruptures are so common the filling is just as inert as the membrane.

            Theyre filled with saline so technically theyre safe. The issue is that most of the time they are not filled properly. Theyre left with a small air gap or have high amounts of oxygen in the saline. This means you can transplant bacteria or mold spores into the saline. Once the implant is sealed, this leads to a contained anerobic environment. This results in an implant absolutely loaded with bacteria where the saline can turn brown and look like apple sauce, or a moldy implant where the saline can turn black or green and become quite firm. If you pop either of those, you die.

              Saline filled implants are different than “silicone” implants (even though they both have silicone - “silicone” implants are filled with a silicone gel, saline have a silicone exterior that’s filled with saline).

              Saline is the older type and are becoming much less common these days.

    Archeologists will find pits of boobs, lips and buttocks and write books about butt lifts.

    My theory is it’s all a terra forming plan to lift Florida out of flooding using silicone floatation and shoe lifts.
