@K D normie doesn't get the reference
Mr Activision imagine unironically calling someone a normie on a vsauce video
@@JayDawg591 imagine thinking People would unironically use the word normie in 2019.
Mr Activision idk mean i dont see a /s anywhere in that comment 🤔
@@JayDawg591 lmfao what, you got ligma or something.
brain is the only organ that named itself
Or is it?
And it pronounced itself the most important organ in the body
the gut named itself
I think that whoever was the first to crack open a skull was the one to call it a brain, after saying “what the fuck is that?.”
Larynx?
The fact that this video doesn’t feel old despite this being an 11 years old video is incredible.

I really didn't realise it till you said that.
The old modern TH-cam layout tipped me off immediately. But this is very good production value

Good Guess, But Actually No.

People: Wow! A headless walking chicken! How cool!
Chicken (internally): AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It actually doesn't have a head, so it can't think. It's just a zombie.
HailOlympos! But it still has part of its brain
@@feet3857 no, it didn't. The head was completely removed. Yes, there is brain tissue elsewhere in the body, but they are far from functioning.
HailOlympos! 1:25
The farmer didn't hit very well... If he cut off all the chickens head nicely it would have bled to death in around 2 minutes or so. They can run around a bit and stuff like that but shooting blood out of the neck really puts a tight time constraint on the chickens life.
Something people often forget about is how strictly speaking you can’t do stupid things without using your brain, but you CAN do stupid things without using your entire brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex of the frontal lobe. Which is the part that dictates logic, common sense, and conscious thought.
This "logic" and "common sense"... Is this a new trendy thing or a relic from a time long forgotten?
Fun fact, part of the brain (probably the prefrontal cortex, or part of it) is basically disabled while dreaming, which is why you tend to just accept absurd scenarios as reality, and then wake up and realize everything made no sense.
That explains why I'm nonsensical. Thanks!

What can you do without a brain? Be a politician
That is a fact
What can you do without brain?
Run for president 🥁
So if "you" are just your brain, does that mean I'm piloting an organic mech suit all the time?
Yup. Complex organic mech-suit
Sam Page Yeah I'm flesh-man. We need a superhero movie on this, oh wait thats just every ordinary movie ever made.
That's what I have always thought. The real organisms being our brain, and the rest of our body just an organic machine to keep us alive.
Wait a minute if we are just a brain, does that mean our skeleton is not inside us, WE ARE INSIDE OUR SKELETON. Mind blown.
Sam Page I have thought that before, but if we were truly our brain we would be a lot more busy. We would have to manually control every single thing from our heart beat to digestion to the immune system. Brains are also fooled by optical illusions because of evolution, they are "naive" to what is actually there. If we were our brains we wouldn't fall for such tricks. Because of that, we are something less than our brains. Our conscious. The conscious is like the pilot of the brain that pilots the organic mech suit, except the conscious uses auto pilot so t can do other things like create thoughts and rationalize.
"I used to think the brain was the most important organ, then i thought, look whomst telling me that!"
Its conspiration
Well, your brain is the only organ smart enough to tell you that.
Felix Roux and which organ said that ?
I don't think the brain is an organ edit: I'm retarded
I like Cats bruh
Mike the headless chicken was actually in Fruita, Colorado. When I was living there the city held "mike the headless chicken festivals" along with a statue of him downtown 😂
"The brain is the most important organ", huh?
Sounds like something a BRAIN would say....
Lol
the funny thing is
your brain wrote this
I bet u have something to think about now ._.
*insert obama giving a medal to obama meme*
i hate when my brain is so prideful of it self.

Where's the pepper or garlic? I hope they seasoned these MFers properly after the clip cuz eeeewww.

This video feels like it could have been made in 2024, the quality stays incredibly good even after so many years.

As I kid I watched almost every VSauce video. He introduced me, and a whole generation, to science and so much more. I’m now in college and want to be a neurosurgeon. Watching this video now, with a deeper understanding of the concepts talked about, really makes me grateful that Michael made so many awesome videos to inspire creativity and the pursuit of knowledge in myself and countless others.
I'm glad I have a brain so I can subscribe to vsauce

Wow, it's been 10 years old now and it seems it was recorded just yesterday. Extremely useful. Thanks.

idk why but all of vsauce's videos seem so timeless. most videos from 8-11yrs ago look and just feel old. these dont. if i wasnt told, i would think this was pretty new.
I was just thinking of that.

Wow
Fun fact: The brain named itself
Fun fact : it didn't
Yea it did
liamLG MC if we use the same logic : you named yourself
You see your brain didn't name it self OTHER brains named it
Just like your name you didn't choose it OTHER (your parents) people named it .
Yes the brain did name itself humans named it the brain and the humans who decided used there brains to decide it. Mine fuck
Sam Watts so logically you named yourself
These videos don’t ever feel as old as they really are
