Why do people even want to go to Dubai of all places?

There's literally nothing there you can't find somewhere that isn't also in the middle of a god forsaken desert and built by slave labor.

[-] lemick24@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

That's also Vegas but with mafia instead of slaves

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 12 points 10 months ago

But you can at least have drinks and shows and...idk...

Hwæt?

What sort of sex tourism is there in Dubai‽

Repressed women who think letting you see their eyes is a strip tease?

Brainwashing. My dad was with a group on vacation there (all 50+). We had a hard time convincing him that not everything is as great as they say there and that they left a lot of unsavory details out.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 135 points 10 months ago

A woman willing to punch her husband for saying no, is probably better off not going to Dubai anyway.

[-] Stanwich@lemmy.world 39 points 10 months ago

We could start a go fund me to send her...........for science.

I don't know, my interest is piqued now.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 96 points 10 months ago

What a weird article. She was mad and punched him in the nose. That’s it. No mention whether he hit his head after falling. So, I’m led to believe this lady can one punch people to death.

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 68 points 10 months ago

Yeah they call it a punch, but his nose and teeth were broken, and he died. I am gonna speculate she hit him with an object, or got him in a compromised position that allowed her to wail on his face for a while.

Maybe she's bald from training too hard too.

Imagine wanting to go there AND fucking killing your husband for saying "no"

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 46 points 10 months ago

Well, now you're definitely not going.

[-] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

Well they can still have the funeral there.

It's purely a hunch, but I would bet a larger percentage of women who punch their husbands to death want to visit Dubai versus women who don't punch their husbands to death.

Jfc. I wonder how common of an occurrence it had been for her to attack him when she got angry. You don’t go from 0 to manslaughter usually.

This has to be the worst written article ever

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

It reads like severe brain damage

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 months ago

Must have been written by the husband

[-] derpgon@programming.dev 7 points 10 months ago

This is sad, but your comment made me chuckle. I am a terrible person

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Hey, could be worse, you could have written my comment

Pathologists of Lemmy : does most people (36y old, ...) dying from a single punch have a pre-existing condition ? Looks quite odd.

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 51 points 10 months ago

It can happen. Punches to the face, head, and neck are more dangerous than some people realize. I won't say lethality is super common. But if you punch someone in anger, be prepared for serious consequences.

For example, sometimes a sinus collapses, sending bone fragments into the brain from a single hard blow to the wrong place. (I am not a doctor, but this happened to a kid in my home town in the 80s.)

[-] Otkaz@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago

It happens quite often. I'm a paramedic and have responded to scenes numerous times where the patient was only hit in the face once and died. I actually remember, years ago, it happened two shifts in a row in the same parking lot. There was a bar there that commonly had fights outside after it closed. Both times, people told me the person was punched in the face only one time. One of the two he was laying in the grass, so it wasn't even like he bashed his head on the pavement after.

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I know a couple of stories like this. The one that stuck with me was a bunch of kids who did like a regular unsupervised boxing group. One day, one guy got clocked just right, said he was out, sat down, then collapsed.

15 years ago, my taekwondo instructor punched a mugger in the chest only once, and the man's rib broke and stabbed his heart and then he died. My instructor spent spent 2 or 3 years of jailtime for the crime "unintentionally killing".

Bare knuckles to the dome can definitely kill.

[-] 567PrimeMover@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago

Not a pathologist, but it isn't unheard of to die from a punch. It happens more often than you'd think

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Well I'm allergic to being punched, I swell up pretty bad

[-] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Can definitely happen. I guy died in my country years ago because someone punched him outside a pub and he fell.

[-] mrnotoriousman@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago

Not a pathologist but def if you got the right place anything can happen. As an anecdote, when I was growing up a fight started on the sidewalk I'm front of my house with some teens (not like big guys by any measure) and the guy threw one punch and the dude got knocked out. Hit him right in the temple and the dude died in the hospital after.

... and if he had, he could have punched her to death and the police would have looked the other way.
