There is a disease that happens to moose that makes them act like zombies in TV shows do you think there is any way that a disease like that would happen to people
Yes I watch the full video this is still a question I have
There are some theory's that zombies aren't actually dead it is caused by a virus that effects the brain that causes thier behavior of flesh eating and grunting slower movement etc... If you think about the fact that since they will probably injure themselves cuts broken limbs etc.. while in a zombie state and don't get help or medical Attention they will get infection or loss of circulation wich can then cause dieing of the tissue wich can then cause decomposition of the body therefore you get a zombie that is decomposing but also living wich makes it possible for it to move and have senses.
the seem to be actually charging for the "3 free months" at the monthly rate.
The start of the video makes a huge number of assumptions. Most depictions of Zombies indicate a functioning brain stem, which imply functioning heart, lungs and basic bio-functions. Possibly even a fully functional digestive system.
What about the cocodrile zombies or the bath salt zombies?

First time I saw rigor mortis for real was when my dog died. We dug his grave but we couldn't move his legs from the position they were when he passed away. We were afraid to break them by forcing them to bend so we had to dig a little more to make room for his legs.
I will never forget that feeling of coldness and stiffness from where there was previously warmth and softness.

The traditional zombie is impossible, but zombies with a parasitic infection would work. Not fungal though, that would spread to the other parts of the body and eat it.
If a parasite goes to the brain, tells the brain to keep its body from decomposing, recognize other people (prefrontal cortex), tells the brain to eat people (also prefrontal cortex), and take control of the parts of the areas of the brain so it can feel, hear, smell, touch, and see, it would technically work. It would only work for a few hours though before the parasite consumes most of the prefrontal cortex.
Agree
I think the belief in zombies mostly just comes from the (very common) fear of death, tbh. Death is scary, and sad, and it would just be that much more horrifying if your buried loved ones came back to life but as a twisted version rather than as themselves. It would be a loss worse than death, and more terrifying because a zombie is a creature you can't kill, considering it's already dead. The idea of zombies bring up this incredibly difficult question of: would we rather want our buried loved ones to stay dead, or to live, but as monsters? I think a belief in zombies is kinda like an irrational fear, possibly the fear of that we won't find peace after death. No, I don't believe in zombies, as I already knew about brain death, but it's still a scary thought no matter how much I know that rationally, zombies are impossible.
Interesting analogy! Thank you for this.
No, they come from the black plague, people got quaranteed, peft for dead and not everybody starved at the same rate so sometimes a disease riddled victim would standup looking dead and stories of it spread
Even though zombies are pretty scary, I feel like ghosts are in some ways worse.
@@jackwimmer2249zombies are ghosts, souls without control of their violent actions.
@@sussyslurp I guess you could say that. I thought, though, that zombies were more corporeal, while ghosts were spirits that could be visible or invisible.

A remark that classical undead zombies are considered would be better mentioned at the beginning.
Because there are parasites (not in human) which makes their hosts behave strangely so the host could be called zombie very aptly. The most famous is cordyceps in ants, but toxoplasmosis in rodents is also fun.

About 10 years ago, I wrote a college paper on this very topic! Definitely covered these 2 big tissue issues as well, along with some other problems the stereotypical undead zombies idea runs into. What a great video! I'm only sad it took me this long to find it.
Although I know most people consider "zombie" to be a term for the "undead", technically speaking the term has been atributted to the living: people seeming like a zombie yet are clearly alive, and the actual zombies whom are still alive but have their minds enthralled by some darker shaman or similar person.

Well, not really, in fact, insect don’t have the same morphology as mammals, mammals are too hot (even if fungi could potentially evolve with climate change) and too big, insects are small so it’s easier too control, but mammals, they’re just too complex, and I’m not talking about humans, it would be prtically impossible for the fungus too evolve toward human infection, because it’s just not worth it evolutionary wise… maybe it will be the case with very small birds but it would take millions of years to evolve, and humans will be long gone… Just look at the species, one cordyceps specie can only infect ONE specie of ant/caterpillar, so sadly, no The last of Us future…

This I will say dosent mean it’s impossible rabies is similar into the fact that where people are like actual zombies.

I have a morbid, intense, extreme fear of zombies after watching a Brazilian zombie show called Reality Z. I'm 13. It was not a good choice. I felt like i wanted to puke, feared the worst would happen in the future, and just wanted to end it right there. But after seeing this, I no longer felt that way and realized that zombies cannot happen. Thank you, you are a lifesaver 😊
I kinda got to see a body go through Rigor Mortis. My grandfather once ran over a jackal (with the full intent of killing it, they're pests on farms) and decided to bring it home to show us. It was really cool and there wasn't a lot of blood so we got to open its mouth, stare at its eyes and teeth and feel its fur as well as seeing how the muscles move. And we noticed how it became harder and harder to move. In the end we chopped off the head and boiled it down to keep the skull as well as a tuft of hair from its tail. The skull is now the home for my pet geckos and I sadly lost the tuft.

I personally think rabies is the closest thing we’ll ever have to a “zombie virus” of sorts. It’s a truly scary disease, and the way it kills people is horrible to watch.
Rabies mutated with Ophiocordyceps unilateralis ;)
@@OGSinisterPotato Combine that with Leprosy and Mad Cow disease
@Charlotte draws, rabies symptoms include delirium, abnormal behavior, hallucinations, hydrophobia (fear of water), and insomnia, mad-cow causes aggression, delirium, psychosis etc, and Leprosy damages your nerve ends and soft tissue, so your pain receptors are near non-existent, your tissue can rot at the slightest open wound. Sounds like a combo to make a zombo

Your points of argument are based on "zombies are just walking dead bodies," while in titles such as Resident Evil, zombies are actually living bodies infested by various type of virus that increases the metabolism and thus accelerate the process of mutation and evolution.
I have always said that if we did have a ZA that they are decomposing every second. So even if it did happen, they wouldn’t be able to last too long. They would decompose just like any other body. So if they became animated how quick would every part deteriorate?
But what if your “zombie” isn’t a dead person per say but more like a nasty fungus that takes over the body and doesn’t kill the host right away instead causes the host body to bite others for the spread of fungus.
The human brain is waaaaaaay to complex for that to happen, even the cordyceps fungi doesn't have that level of control over an ant. Also the cordyceps does actually kill its host after about a day. The body can't be sustained if its hosting something so invasive. Plus on top of that lets say the impossible did happen and something could control humans and make them hyper aggressive and then defied nature and didn't kill its host straight away, well the infected would still die within days from exposer, dehydration and starvation and on top of that, why wouldn't infected just attack each other, if they're that aggressive they'd attack anything, including other infected and wipe themselves out. Be happy zombies of any kind are impossible, a real zombie apocalypse would be absolutely horrendous.
Kinda like the half life zombies?
@Thanny Stormtrooper No I'm afraid this is not correct at all. The cordyceps fungi, aka ophiocordyceps unilaterally, does not replace the brain at all, in fact it doesn't even enter the insect's brain. Instead it infects the muscles affecting the nervous system, manipulating movement completely separate from the brain. Rabies doesn't compell you to bite anyone, as a matter of fact most rabies victims are bed ridden invalids who often die of dehydration from the hydrophobia caused by the virus. They aren't a threat to anyone.
On the origins of zombies, they come from Haitian voodoo mythology. Traditional zombies are people who are put under a spell by a witch doctor. As a matter of fact they are some what real, as voodoo practitioners do indeed have zombie creation rituals where they will heavily drug a victim with certain concoctions, sort of like a truth serum, leaving them so shit faced high that they will then be essentially a thrall for the witch doctor who did this to them. Its actually a really tragic practice that is very damaging to the victim. So please in future don't go spreading misinformation, even if it's about something as trivial as zombies.
There is something like this that effects deer
But evolution is a thing, after an amount of time, a fungus could possibly learn how to mess with the brain

Thank you so much. I really enjoy this type of educational style.
Oh btw
I was studying evolution (human evolution to be exact)and the early humans (homo erectus eructus something) performed cannibalism
(Which basically means eating someone of the same species) and so I did a bit of research on cannibalism (cause my textbook didn’t have enough) and I found out that the early humans died of cannibalism because of brains…
Yeah like even modern day old societies that still performed cannibalism (as a way to respect their dead relatives , yeah they ate their own relatives after death cause they thought as long as the body still remains the soul can’t really you know go to heaven or whatever) they stopped like a few decades ago because the brain apparently has something (I think the neurotransmitters) that would act as poison and the person who ate a human brain would… die duh!
So my point here is if you eat a human brain it acts as poison so how is this the favourite food of zombies?

And yeah, whose to say Cordyceps won't be genetically engineered to effect humans as a bioweapon at some point in the future? If it can do that to ants, surely with a little help it could do it to humans.
idk if the younger generation is going to be susceptible to this kind of information but this is very reassuring to me.
As someone with an irrational fear of the dark, i find myself also being very creeped out by the supernatural or zombies and other creepy stuff like that, but having a mind that is rooted in science and biology really helps you understand that these things literally are impossible and will never happen to us in real life, and i feel alot of us carry that ideology with us for a long time. so i find this kind of information useful and also invaluable.
I feel like the "Days Gone" zombie virus can actually work IRL because the infected (freakers), although being braindead and attack non infected, its been confirmed by the NERO Dialogue (one of the factions on the game) that the Freaker still eat and drink water (infact their bodies evolved to digest more things and eat stuff like grass, berries and just stuff a deer would eat) and they also retain some sort of Vestigial memory (Its implied that the freakers still change/wear different clothes)
The same thing goes for the Green Flu In Left 4 Dead, It essentially acts like a zombie virus, except it causes the infected to hallucinate, in the comics, we can see that the infected see non infected people as demonic entities, which drives them to attack them. So basically those 2 are the only zombie viruses that could actually work or at-least make some sense
I still can't look over that fact that that was once a literal human being's brain. A person who grew up and had fun playing, working, and eventually passed away and now it's here in his arms, insane. The more you think about it the more insane it is. 🧠
Edit: I should probably clear up some misunderstanding here, i wasn't angry at him for using human body parts, i was just thinking of how crazy it is for an actual human brain to be shown to us like this.
I think it's all artificial. Actually nevermind just checked the description of the channel and yikes. Well I guess the person allowed this when they were alive.

Imagine he is explaining us that zombies can't exists and in the background one of the cadaver starts moving😂
😌 I feel scare
Hahahaha. That would be fun. Someone pretending to be the corpse and than "rising from the dead" would add some laugh to this already interesting video
That is exactly what I was thinking
But that's normal. The gases in the body during the composition process make the body move or make it make sound when the gases are released.
@@BlueSky-nk9jl😌 I feel scare chain
people refers to zombies in general as a vegetative state... not clinical death or totally brain death, only frontal cortext inactivity...
Zombies is more of a term referring to an undead than literally an undead. An undead only exists through magic. A zombie is actually a living being, without advanced intellectual functions, that doesn't feel pain, that feels the need to feed (despite being unable to absorb nutrients), and also incapable of cellular regeneration. A zombie is an irreversible death process, but very very slowly, as most systems have stopped working, and their energy needs are minimal.
that is why more recent "zombies" are termed as "infected". basically still living (although barely) humans are hijacked by parasitic microorganism and the microorganism controls the movement and behavior of the host for its benefits. This happens a lot in the insect world
an example: those infected from The Last of Us game franchise
Still a fungus won't be able to be smart to control a whole human body

Awesome video. Thanks for teaching me.
Actually, I would prefer these typical "dead" zombies. Living infected humans like in 28 Days Later (which are theoretically possible) are much scarier to me.
The mere idea of being infected and consciously witnessing yourself turning and attacking other people without being able to do anything about it is absolutely terrifying...
Say those zombies in 28 days later are animalistic, and their only goal is to infect others. At all costs. So then... they will die in 3 days. No water mate.
Starvation and exhaustion would set in pretty rapidly. A lot of people could potentially die/become infected in such a scenario, but I can't see it ending civilisation, or even lasting particularly long. The rage virus is unrealistically infectious, too. The absolute minimum time to "turn" would be a few hours, because biology simply doesn't operate fast enough to go from getting a droplet of blood in your eye to being a raging lunatic in seconds.
The real scary scenario is extraterrestrial nanobots imo

Yup!
Yeah like a mutated rabies virus can still happen :()
@@causticcoconut715 don't know where you live, but in UK rabies has been eradicated. 😊 But....yes......the rabies virus could mutate......and we would have living tissue zombies. Rabies turns you into that as it is anyway.....milder form though.......and you die rather quick once in that stage.
*happily reload shotgun*
@@madalinadelia One of the professors at my college once managed to keep a rabid horse alive for 11 days, though it had to be hooked up to life support to last that long. Usually rabid animals die within a week of symptom onset, so once it lasted longer than a week he and everyone working with it at the vet school just assumed it had some other form of encephalitis like West Nile Virus or Eastern Equine Encephalitis. They sent its brain off for rabies testing anyway once it died, even though they didn't think it had rabies, so they were really surprised when it tested positive. And several people (including my professor) had to get rabies booster since they'd stuck their hands into the horse's mouth to try and adjust its breathing and feeding tubes.
oh good now I can talk a peaceful night walk in the cemetery. Great videos guys! thanks
**Sadly digging up my plant away**
Since zombies are always seen as a virus wouldn't that just mean that most zombies would starve to death since the viruses need food?
like in the movie 28 days later the zombies just died after a month so to survive just sit on your house and eat like its just quarantine for months
Yeah
@@rocky-zx6kq weeks*
Really, most of us can't survive a few days without food, like, at all.
@@bbittercoffee however, many can go at least 10 days. Not comfortably or healthily, but we are able
@@bbittercoffee yeah, if you do the proper preparation then you CAN go quite awhile without food or water. Unbelievably long, i dont recommended any does this tho without any knowledge or prior work of the body mind and spirit/soul, it has great benefits but not easy to achieve and certainly not for EVERYONE.

The most medically and scientifically accurate Zombie movie in my opinion, is The Crazies. Also, Rabies is the closest we have to a Zombie virus. The zombie virus is probably gonna 99% be some kind of Rhabdovirus
What makes the crazies so scary is that it's actually possible
How about the zombies from The Last of Us, which are based off of a real-life fungus that zombifies insects?
@@flandrescarlet506 while that is an interesting concept, I'm not sure if the cordiceps fungus would ever get potent enough to affect humans, and if it does, I feel it would only cause some meningoencephalitis and perhaps spasms and tetanus like symptoms, but I'm not sure if it would ever create zombie-like organisms.
@@firesonic1010 Definitely. A fungus that infects insects could never infect humans due to the differences in the nervous system of an insect and a human. However, the concept is interesting to think about nonetheless, and the creators of The Last of Us have some scientific explanations as to how the hypothetical fungus could have hopped from insects to humans.
@@flandrescarlet506 well...there's also the saying that the bigger a population grows the more likely a cordiceps fungus will evolve to infect that population...so it may be incredibly unlikely with our almost 8 billion...but if we were to grow our population to the 100billions or more, it's likely we'd have this issue.
I had to explain this to my art friends as well, the science behind "dead zombies". Even though the virus can some how jump start the necrotic brain tissue, basically you're just gonna have a corpse with a lot of brain activity. Everything else is just.. gone... if you want zombies, it not science, it's magic
Exactly why the dictionary states that zombies are a product of witchery, which is under the umbrella term "magic".
Black magic zombies are something else.. You need a good witch
@@mashihodpotatoetm4572 zombies literally don't exist. Neither does magic. It's fiction. So regardless of this interesting real science video zombies can't happen for any reason. Not the walking dead type.
@@ffyrestarr thanks Captain Obvious. It was a close one, but you saved the day after all.
