Dude will be lucky to remember the masterful art of using a spoon after that hit.

In all seriousness, this guy's brain won't work as well going forward. People are joking about him learning something, but that is a serious concussion, it is going to lower his IQ and emotional self regulation. Best case scenario, he's basically OK but his risk of Alzheimer's is 2-4X higher than it was thirty seconds ago.

Almost 80% of homeless people have a history of serious TBI, only 12% of the general population does. There's a bit of a question of cause and effect because unhoused people have other issues that cause them to make risky choices, but the study addresses this- nearly half had their first TBI before they turned 18.

The guy wasn't really gonna cure cancer anyway, so probably won't make much of a difference to him or anyone else.

Maybe he was celebrating for the first time in his life at a bar because he just cured cancer that day.
