      In my experience society regrettably values bread over beans. I can’t talk about it or else I’m gonna start crying.

        Beans are sad emergency food.

        If I’m in a situation where beans are necessary, I’m awfully desperate and out of options.

            I’m Norwegian, I make my own meaty beanless burritos every Friday.

            The only good traditional variant is birria. Beanless.
            Burritos should be a treat, not a beany staple.

              Beans can absolutely be a treat if you cook them right. I’m sorry you’ve never been able to experience tasty beans.

            There’s no such thing as a “UK.” Oh sure, there’s this island full of TERFs next to Europe that does things like eat “beans on toast” and where if you say the word “tiddlywinks” in a court of law you’re taken seriously instead of laughed out of the place. Get real, Britain was made up by Scholastic to sell books to third graders.

    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.

        That is… Incorrect, there is about a 30% death rate within one year of brain trauma […]

        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?

              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.

            Are you talking to me? I mean you replied to my comment, but saying that I’m referencing studies doesn’t make any sense. Well at least not to me, because I don’t believe that I claimed to have any studies for anything.

            If you meant to reply to me, please go read my first paragraph, and the maybe try it a second time. I actively tried to avoid getting labeled as dismissing the claims.

            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.

              OP’s claims of “oh mer gerhd you dead soon” were so broad and so wild that they didn’t seem rooted in research. Asking for citations would be like asking your antivax aunt for her DIY “research”. But at least the claims should motivate people to seek healthcare, if they get knocked unconscious. Something that will save lives. So I left it at that.

              I asked for citations where I did, because it seemed like that commenter worked in the medical field, and actually could have the studies handy.

              If you read my request as casting doubt, then I invite you to read the first paragraph again. I specifically pointed out I just like scientific research, data, and evidence. I actually tried to avoid being seen as arguing against the claims.

              I can’t help that you (and a lot of other people, apparently) see asking for citations, as casting doubt. Expressing doubt wasn’t my intention, I was genuinely curious about the sources.

              And if being curious about science is wrong, then I’m going crawl up under a warm blanket, with a cup of chai and a nice peer reviewed metastudy, while staying wrong.

                I honestly think that it’s totally fine to ask for citations and I also would have loved to see them. Furthermore I also really think that it was much more reasonable to ask the second person for the citation than the first one so I am in total agreement with you.

                And I do really want to clarify that I was honestly just commenting on the doomy comment of: „a reflection of our times“ Because this really just felt more like an anchor effect hypothesis moment to me of being biased by the first data input however outrageous it may seem.

                Even if you had casted doubt (which I again don’t think you did) that would’ve been fine and healthy I would argue. I love it when people ask for citations and then even read through them and discuss the limitations of it, I think that’s fucking awesomesauce and I’m glad people like you can read it and share their insights on it.

                Long story short I was sharing another - to me more plausible - explanation of the vote distribution. Hope you have a lovely day and this kerfuffle did not discourage you from exploring and sharing the interest details of the world.

        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.

      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.
