If a 19-year-old punches their chest 100 times every day for a year, would they die or develop heart disease?

Gorillas do it all the time and they don't die. Nature designed us such that it's generally pretty hard for us to punch ourselves hard enough to do any real damage. Our main weapons (arms and legs) are designed for striking outward, not inward.

There's a higher chance of breast cancer since I've heard that a lot of impact to the chest can cause cancer, although I don't know how true that is

“Will they have a heart attack and die?”

[ChicoFromThe305]

If they hit it hard enough the heart stops then there's a high possibility yea

[Asker]

“If I hit myself 1000 times a day, would I die?”

[ChicoFromThe305]

I don't know, just don't do it wtf 😂

[Asker]

“Would I die? If you have a doctor friend, could you ask them?”

[ChicoFromThe305]

I don't have a doctor friend but don't do it, but why do you want to do this?

[Genie23]

That's a weird question to even ask a doctor. Why would do that to yourself?

[ChicoFromThe305]

I don't know if doctors even know what would happen, I just know they wouldn't recommend it at all

My eldest brother is a doctor. I'm not going to even ask him that. I think he'll know the answer, but he'll think I've lost my sanity if I ask him. So, I'd rather not, lol

[ChicoFromThe305]

You can ask him and tell him you are asking for someone online 😂

[Genie23]

He'll probably send me to an asylum before I could even let you know that 😂 so, let's believe that many punches will kill us instead 😶

[ChicoFromThe305]

I guess that remains my hypothesis, 1000 punches will kill lol

[Genie23]

😂😂

Why take the chance then find out the hard way that they shouldn't have been doing it?
It can't be a good thing!

I'm no doctor so I have no true idea. But as long as they have ribs that stay intact then I'm sure they'll be fine. Heart disease is more internally caused from what I know. And whether or not they'd die would really depend on the impact the punches would have on their heart function. Varies from person to person so likely there's really no way of knowing for sure on average.

[curiousandhonest]

Can't punch your own chest hard so I rexkon not much of an outcome

[AngryCarl2]

There's only one way to find out.

[Asker]

“So, what is it, can you tell me?”

[AngryCarl2]

I don't recommend testing on humans because there's a very high likelihood of traumatic damage to the chest area.

[AngryCarl2]

by the way, if you're considering unaliving yourself this is a very slow and increasingly painful way to do it. Plus deliberately damaging your body is stupid, considering all the other things you could be doing with it.

[jamesgoldman]

You'll bruise like a peach, maybe crack a rib

[beefcakebradybatson]

They won't develop any brains !!!

What? No.
