    Yeah, that’s jsut straight up BS. I’m a Trauma Specialist and the thing that actually happens when you get hit by such a large object going at such a speed is that either stars or birds start circling around your head, accompanied by a large bump rapidly growing out of the affected area.

    Also, a very common symptom is that the struck individual looses their memory. This can easily be treated by simply striking them again, with similar force.

    Moral of the story, don’t believe everything you read on the internet

        i watched a 15 minute youtube video about skepticism and uncertainty, and frankly i’m not sure what to believe.

      and what do you think these circling stars do to others? they just further hurt anything in close proximity. have you considered that?
