Why didn’t this woman just take the can of beans instead of the bread?
Woulda had beans on toast, but they lost the can of beans.
Putting beans in the green texts now smh
Beans and greens
Everyone always laughs at hitting someone in the head with a punch/can of beans/baseball bat/2x4/karate chop/whatever and knock them out. The joke being that the person will wake in ten minutes or an hour like in the movies and they’ll go about living again.
In real life if you knock someone out cold with some kind of hit to their head … you’ve more than likely killed them or put them in a place where they will die within the next hour or two.
You’re going too far in the opposite direction
False LMFAO.

Being knocked out is literally one step before dead and can have serious aftereffects like parts of your swollen brain dying because there’s too less space for a swollen brain in your skull.
I too was once knocked out as a child and barfed 3 days afterwards with memory loss.
Take care of yourself.
Relax, it’s just another made up story.
Being knocked out is certainly not good, but it’s not automatic death like you’re suggesting.
Depends where you hit and how hard. It’s the emergency shutdown because of convulsion. If the convulsion was too hard, it can swell and then it gets dangerous. Not to mention fragile places like temple or neck.
That is… Incorrect, there is about a 30% death rate within one year of brain trauma but there is absolutely no data showing that someone is going to die within an hour of being knocked unconscious more often than not, especially if they are young
I’m not saying that you’re wrong. You sound like you might know what you’re talking about. I just like publications and medical evidence. I trust that you won’t take it the wrong way.

[…] but there is absolutely no data showing that someone is going to die within an hour of being knocked unconscious more often than not, […]
Do you have a metastudy or something for that?
especially if they are young
That last sentence, do you have a source for the difference in outcome depending on the patient’s age?
This thread is like getting hit in the head with a can of beans.

And it’s not on me to find the burden of truth for you. That’s a logical fallacy and a bad arguing tactic

A weird amount of people were triggered by you asking for evidence. A reflection on our times.
Maybe, but they could’ve also posted the same request for citations on the first poster but did not.
I think that really does reflect how someone can just say whatever and when challenged we are biased to only assume the second opinion as doubtful.
Source? Show me the evidence and metastudy
SkillSkull issueMonster deserves it tho
She just stole a loaf of bread. Her sister’s child was close to death, she was starving.
And even if you haven’t killed them outright, they can have permanent disabilities.
If you, or someone you know, gets knocked out, or experiences other symptoms of a central nervous system trauma after a hit to the head, please seek medical care immediately. It’s not one those “take two aspirin and let’s see how it goes in the morning” kinda things.
I’m just one person, but during my life I’ve seen this multiple times. I will refrain from boring you, and doxxing myself, by telling my anecdotes. Suffice it to say that I have known people who would have been dead if they hadn’t gone to work with a “bad hangover”, or ended up with narcolepsy or chronic encephalopathy. And that was separate people BTW.
So I once slipped on a puddle while jogging (in the wrong place) and hit the back of my head on sedimentary tiles.
Since I had stiffened my neck, trying to stretch it backward (yes I was doing that while jogging on wet tiles), my head hit the ground hard.
After about 2 minutes, I fainted for ~10 seconds. Was fine later.That’s the problem with anecdotal evidence. You can always find that one person who fulfills the criteria but who’s outcome doesn’t match.
Of course you can be fine afterwards. But there’s a considerable risk that you’re not, and experiencing symptoms of a traumatic head injury does warrant a visit to the hospital.
Of course I visited the hospital for a CT scan.
Of course I’m not telling you to hit your head for fun.
This is just a fun story, not evidence for anything.
People have survived failed parachutes. Doesn’t mean we can all be Alex Mercer.
