You're too narrow minded. I mean, you even pointed out that sugar and salt were as valuable as gold back then. If he can figure out how to extract them, he'd be on top of the world in terms of wealth. Plus, extracting sugar and salt isn't exactly rocket science; it's pretty common knowledge.
Regarding the back of the neck, this area mainly consists of muscles, nerves, and the cervical spine, which protects the upper spinal cord but doesn't directly expose the brainstem. A strike to the back of the neck might cause nerve damage or affect the spinal vertebrae, potentially leading to serious injuries like paralysis. However, any unconsciousness would more likely result from nerve shock or spinal damage rather than from any direct effect on the brainstem’s respiratory functions.
Look, the medulla oblongata is part of the brainstem, which is well protected by the skull. To damage it, you’d need a significant force, like what might happen in a car crash. Also, it's important to note that the medulla oblongata is primarily linked to cardiac functions, not respiratory ones; the respiratory center is actually in the pons, just above the medulla. If you hit the area below the earlobe, you're more likely to impact muscles, blood vessels, or lymphatic vessels. Knocking someone out by targeting this area would require both considerable force and quite a bit of luck to disrupt a major blood vessel. The resulting unconsciousness would be due to a temporary disruption of blood flow, not "respiratory suppression." Sorry for the long explanation! 😅
Guys, don’t actually try this—everything in that statement is wrong. As a medical student, I gotta say: mixing up anatomy like that? Big yikes! That "secret knockout spot" isn’t a thing. Let’s keep it real and safe! 😂👍
Imagine it was the other way around. Tsk, the hypocrisy
pffft, brother brother brother, chill with that. I live the furthest from the US and I can tell you I have seen infrastructures that are miles away from the ones you got.
I’ll play along with this dramatic doomsday scenario since it spices up the plot. But just for the record, as of 2024, the whole ‘climate apocalypse and fossil fuel vanishing act’ is still on the back burner—way, way back.
I can relate so much right now. I have a final tomorrow, and here I am.
