Nice, except the liver is on the right hand side.
- globnomulous 2y agoI live for these satisfying moments of simple, pithy, indisputable proof/disproof.

- acover 2y agoYou're right! https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/liver-anatomy-and-functions#:~:text=The%20liver%20is%20located%20in,that%20weighs%20about%203%20pounds https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseas....
- gitaarik 2y agoAlso the stomach is on the other side, so if the pointy stick wouldn't puncture the liver, it would puncture the stomach.
- egberts1 2y agoStomach puncture is far more survivable than a liver tear; far far more likely to survive.
- pclmulqdq 2y agoThe spleen is on the left though, and that is an organ that is far more vulnerable and where a rupture is lethal without surgical treatment. I still think this is bullshit, but that would be the organ to choose.
- yencabulator 2y agoSpleen is tiny compared to liver. It's nowhere near as viable as a target. 200g vs 1.5kg.
- jl6 2y agoThe heart is slightly on the left though. This paper takes the "fighting hypothesis" seriously: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-8994/15/4/940 https://www.mdpi.com/2073-8994/15/4/940
