Lemmy will make up any excuse to be violent towards women, huh?
It's not from Lemmy...
Would've been equally as funny if it were a man..
This is why beans on toast is a thing.
Anon is in a riot.
Anon is in a reoccurring movie bit.
Anon attempts manslaughter with dad.
Anons dad comes back from the store.
Anon eats all the hurricane food before the hurricane.
Fake: Anon doesn't have a dad
Gay : Anon didn't hit~on~ a woman
Why didn’t this woman just take the can of beans instead of the bread?
In my experience society regrettably values bread over beans. I can't talk about it or else I'm gonna start crying.
Because then she would have no toast for them.
Britain doesn't get hurricanes
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.
To market, to market went my Uncle Jim
When somebody threw a tomato at him.
Tomatoes are soft and they won't bruise the skin,
But this one killed Jim, it was wrapped in a tin.
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.

Source?
[...] 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?

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

FFS I wasn't trying to argue with you. Since you quoted some very specific numbers, I thought that you had done some recent research on the matter, and thus had an up to date knowledge of the current studies. In that case copy pasting said references from endnote should have taken 30 seconds and provided the community with a lot of valuable info.
I wasn't trying to get you to search for studies that would back up your claims, I thought you had them already.
Why does asking for citations equal arguing? Where did I even hint that I thought you were wrong? I very much tried to make my intentions clear, yet everyone still think that I'm some smuck smart-ass trying to win an argument ... an argument I wasn't even part of to begin with.
Crow made a claim. And then Yoko made a claim refuting their claim. The burden of proof is on both of them. Not the third party guy Danish asking for sources.
Is it not the one who claims something that has the burden of proof? I'm confused.
Yes. The OP of this thread needs to back up their claim that getting knocked out will kill you
I’d say it’s more a burden for the person making the claim that goes against reality. Imminent death is not in the least a common progression of getting knocked out.
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.
It is not one step before death. Holy shit are you being dramatic.
I had a TBI as a result of a double impact - minor concussion where I didn’t pass out skateboarding (and didn’t know it), then the next day friendly fire collision with a friend in the park snowboarding. I was knocked out for five minutes, had an out of body experience, came to very aggressively with a permanent change of personality that persists to this day half a lifetime later. That being said I was nowhere near death, had a I been knocked out into a coma things would be different.
TBIs are nothing to mess with, they change you for life. ADHD like symptoms, mental health struggles, aggression and explosive anger, memory loss, gaslighting from medical professionals about the severity of the injury (the 2000s were rough…) and opening yourself up to abuse by future significant others because you don’t trust your own memory. Never mind the struggle to maintain employment or how TBIs are invisible disabilities that are tough to get workplace accommodations for.
TBIs are serious, even when they are ‘mild’ (a complete misnomer). But being knocked out ≠ being knocked into a coma which is one step from death. Nor does it mean you’re having a brain bleed. Your brain is inflamed and it’s key not to impact it again for a ~month while the inflammation recedes. Because I had a double impact I ended up permanently damaged. I worry about CTE and dementia later in life as I’ve had other hits to the head since, including getting knocked out momentarily while riding for work.
FYI in case anyone asks - yes I wear a helmet and was wearing one the day of my TBI. Helmets don’t prevent concussions at all, they prevent skull fractures, punctures and lacerations. The helmet saved my life because it prevented skull fracture but more importantly laceration, as my friend collided into my head with the edge of her board first.
I agree it's not one step before death, but as you elaborated, what it effectively is, is brain damage, which is always something that needs to be taken seriously. I.e. if someone is knocked-out, it's not something that can be ignored as in "ha ha, they'll be ok in a couple of minutes"
You're actually dead and died in that second knock out .... this is purgatory and you'll be commenting like this for a few thousand years.
I'm no scientist, doctor or medical professional ... I just know that its dangerous to try to knock someone's noggin really hard to try to make them pass out. Dangerous to the point that there is a good chance that it can kill someone.
Fuck! Nobody told me!!!!
No you probably haven't been knocked out multiple times for seconds. Or you have a very rare brain condition that triggers that on light taps.
28 years of snowboarding and skateboarding will do that.
I ride over 100 days a year for the last decade and used to be paid to do so. It’s an occupational hazard…
I got briefly knocked out skateboarding a couple times and snowboarding a couple more. Ever catch your heels? If you know you know. My TBI was skateboarding the first day and got a concussion without losing consciousness and didn’t know it, the second day was snowboarding and a friend landed on my head in the park. I was out for 5 minutes. Which is a relatively long time in terms of ‘mild’ head injuries.
One of my brief knock outs was when I got hit while working… almost 20 years after the TBI. The tbi makes losing consciousness happen quicker but a lot of my brief knock outs were pre TBI.
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 concussion. If the concussion was too hard, it can swell and then it gets dangerous. Not to mention fragile places like temple or neck.
Wdit: concussion, not convulsion
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.
~~Skill~~ Skull issue
Woulda had beans on toast, but they lost the can of beans.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
