Where can you stab someone without killing them?
You dont... you wack them with a stick... if you hit somone hard breaking their wrist huting their knee, bustig their nose this can eliminate the threat they pose, more so you can ise it to block... often when you stab someone they dont notice it and can still hurt you, more likely take the knife off you and slash your face or kill,. You also in close unless highly trained cannot precisely position a knife as its vicious and chaotic and fast. if in a knife fight you are aiming to kill your opponent first especailly as they may have friends or if you win and they survive come after you or others from your area later able to identify you. In a knife fight you targets are Eyes, in ear stab, neck arteries, spine, heart, possibly femoral arties running on the inside of yoru legs nesr the groin... often a stab would may guarantee they will die but like 10 to 20 minutrs later, plenty of time to make chop suey of you You also need to be strategic... look up tsn zu the art of war with stuff like knwoe yourself, and know your enemy, be where your enemy things you are not... be deceptive. so a knife fight say if a girl would be more appear avaialble, sexy, cleavage out like he is going to lick the cleaveage and his hadn between girl if you are one legs and when distracted you slip out the kife and sever his femoral artery or slice his spine , then finish the jobn, its not like in the movies as you often have to be very brutal and not stop till they are not moving any more ,,, ie over and over again, you coated in their blood. On the other hand havign a back of chilli powder you could throw in their face or blow, or small water pistol filtered with water and extream chilli source ie over a million scoves more likely to get you out of trouble and avoid it so much with cops. its not a good idea mate
What's a fast/easy way to mess with someones car?
I haven't decide if he deserves real damage or just something thats bothersome or distasteful, possibly to be done during the day or night. Make it smell bad? embarrass him? I don't want to go into the whole story but he really does deserve this-(there's more to it than my previous questions show- ) I know it might be childish but it's better that cutting off his johnson. Any ideas would be great, if nothing else to give me a laugh and let me blow off some steam. 10 points to the most creative answer guys.
How to defend yourself without killing someone?
You can use any weapon to harm your attacker it's just about how you use it. Example if you're both wrestling around and there's a knife in your pocket then try stabbing or slashing the guy behind the knee where the leg bends or hitting the Achilles Heel. That would sever tendons and cause so much pain which would result in you getting away and him not being able to follow you. Try carrying multiple weapons like a tazor, knife, and a gun. Obviously the gun would be the most damaging weapon to use so just try shooting him in the leg/arm/shoulder. Hitting him any where near the chest/stomach area can be fatal. BUT HELL you can decrease that by simply carrying a smaller caliber pistol like a .22 for example. The reality if the situation is when an attack happens on the streets its far too violent and quick to even think about performing some kind of self defense move you learned from your self defense class. But arts that can help you are, Jiu-Jitsu, Judo and boxing. Look up Tony Blauer he's a really good 'reality self defense' expert.
Can wounds from cutting yourself be permanent?
Absolutely. It depends upon what you use, how deep it goes, and how well your skin heals. I scar pretty easily/badly, and serrated knife cuts on my legs going back up to 18–20 years are still somewhat visible. I was pretty haphazard due to anger and not bleeding easily. I also have a crosshatching of tons of small ones done with safety pins that run up and down my forearm vertically when I was 16–17, and diagonally when I was in my early twenties, which are different degrees of visible depending upon lighting. Also rows of dots from burning with a hot end of an unfolded paper clip under my left upper arm are still somewhat visible, and those are from about 17 years back. My last period of doing it was in my mid twenties, arms and legs depending on the situation/feeling, then isolated incidents here and there since, the last of which was 2 and a half years ago. I have a set of five done on my upper forearm with a razor from over seven years ago which are not only visible, but they still pop up. Two of the cuts didn't close for two days.This is probably something you don't want to explain in intimate and other situations for much of your life. It can also be dangerous if you cut too deeply, and can cause infections. It's addictive and prevents you from dealing with your emotions in a healthy and effective manner, and can get to the point where even years down the road, certain situations and feelings trigger you into doing it again. Get help before it becomes an ingrained behavior pattern.
How do people commit suicide in jail?
I got something that's possible and outdoes everyone else's answers on here. Teeth. Mouth open wide. Bite DEEPLY into the wrists. Close, pull, and rip out. Death occurs within minutes.
Where are the major arteries that if severed would cause a person to bleed out?
In theory any blood vessel of any size, artery or vein, can cause you to bleed out (bleed to death). The larger the vessel the faster it bleeds and the bigger the problem. So gun shot wounds that sever the big internal arteries will kill you rather quickly if nothing is done about it. Arteries and Veins in the head, chest, abdomen and pelvis can be quite large and you can't put pressure on them to stop the bleeding (Hollywood movies aside).A blood vessel in an arm or leg can cause you to bleed out. They have a mechanism where they spasm and clot off but this is not reliable. The good news is that firm pressure on one of these blood vessels will control the bleeding. Sometimes it might take a very tight, exceedingly uncomfortable tourniquet to accomplish this.I am always shocked (I am not sure that the right word) when someone cuts a large bleeding vein are artery and the just run around screaming and doing nothing. Most time just putting a finger on it will accomplish this.The interesting scenarios are elderly people who have a varicose vein suddenly bleeds. They are so easily treated with simple finger pressure then usually they stop on there own in 30 minutes. Usually people panic then bleed on the carpet then bleed in the car freaking out. I have yet to see someone bleed to death from a varicose vein but I am sure that in the history of mankind it has happened.Nose bleeds are problematic. The ones in the anterior part can be treat with pressure but the posterior ones are too far back and the blood goes out the nose and down your throat. I have never had anyone bleed to death from this but I have had to transfuse many of these patients.Scalp wounds, even veins, can cause massive loss quickly. Most people wrap some sort of bandanna or turban around it which is marginally helpful whereas finger pressure works well.Finally, bleeds from tonsil surgery are a big problem. You can bleed out and its very hard to control. Always seek care.
Is a longitudinal cut along one's wrist more dangerous than a transverse one?
Pre-disclaimer: I answered this question just because I found the physiology underneath interesting but I don't want to give any suggestion to anybody. So please, if you, reader, even had the slightest idea of trying any of this, please, don't read further and ask someone for help. The amount of blood you lose depends on how big the cuts on vessels are. It's pretty obvious that opening a vein along its direction causes a large gap which lets blood out more quickly and at the same time takes longer to heal. If you cut a vein sideways, it would definetely take longer to lose the same amount of blood. But you should also consider how many veins you cut, how large they are, how deep the cuts are, the environment (e.g. you lose more blood if you deep your cuts in water rather than in open-air). I'm pretty sure that if you go deep enough you can kill yourself with a horizontal cut, especially if you cut the radial artery and no one intervenes promptly.If Quora staff think my answer breaks any law or just may cause any kind of problems, please, feel free to delete it!
