If you take a human head and shake it rapidly & violently for hours on end, is it possible to turn the brain into something like milkshake?

What an interesting question. I too will await for an answer.
I’m assuming yes, the brain would get small tears that would turn into big tears, eventually ripping apart the brain into smaller and smaller chunks, mixing with the cerebrospinal fluid and creating a sludge. Although, I don’t think there is any air in the skull cavity, so maybe it would be harder to shake up without any empty space
I would think eventually, yeah. But you would turn the owner of the head into a corpse way before that happened.
He’ll be Allright.
Sounds like a question for international waters
Honestly I don’t think so. Because the process of making milkshakes is crushing and blending the ingredients together until it’s slushy. What’ll happen instead is just the equivalent of putting a wet bed comforter in an angry dryer.
I think a better way would be to take the top of someone’s skull off, sort of Ray Liotta in Hanmibal style, but instead of a spoon you use a little hand held electric whisk.
I would think it would depend on the level of decay. If it’s fresh, it would probably take forever to get the brain matter to liquefy. Maybe putting it in the dryer overnight would do the trick. 😆
Not speaking from experience. Just a guess. 😆
I’ve heard that human brains have the consistency of like jello or pudding, so I’m willing to bet you could get a pretty decent frappe going
This would happen to anything in the universe if it was contained inside another, harder object, if you shook it long enough and hard enough.
You might end up with a kind of sludge from damaged brain tissue and CSF, but you wouldn’t get a true milkshake consistency unless you broke the skull open, removed the brain and used an actual blender.
In short: yes-ish in theory, but no in practical reality
Google Shaken Baby Syndrome
I doubt it’ll happen that fast or get liquefied like milkshake. Brains are enclosed tight enough in skulls but occasional bumping would hurt. A dead person/severed head won’t obviously feel it so although milkshaking one’s brain is difficult, it’s not entirely impossible.
Damn right, it’s better than yours.
Muhammad Ali is a good example of what kind of brain damage you might end up with
There’s only one way to find out!
Well it depends, is it a newborn, or a adult human? I don’t see it really possible on a adult head, unless you have one of those paint shaking machines and you’ve already removed the head from the body It just depends on a bunch of variables. But a newborn yeah. And I would still recommend removing the head and using a commercial paint shaking machine, That would just be exhausting trying to do it manually.
All I can picture is a human head in a paint mixer. Presumably the contents would be more liquid than not afterwards
Shake hard enough, sure. I’m not sure what would stop this from happening that can’t be overcome with enough force.
This is a question I never thought I’d be curious for what the answer is.
Not enough chocolate, sorry
Shaken baby syndrome is a real thing.
Another question would be—How would the brain taste if it was in slush-form??
No. Given the size and weight of a human head, no person has the strength and endurance to shake it fast enough for long enough to do so.
The average human head weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 10lbs. Shaking that for hours on end just isn’t really feasible.
Just get a blender, it’s much easier.
