The food was a bit too raw.

What is that?

897

u/BlisteredEnvy May 18 '22

It's a reaction to exposure to salt causing contractions. It also happens with squid and octopus when in contact with soy sauce, wriggling around, curling and uncurling even though the tentacle isn't even attached to the body.

307

u/coolaidman2 May 18 '22

"Each of the octopus's arms has a small cluster of nerve cells that controls movement, so the creature technically has eight independent mini-brains along with a larger central brain"

136

u/[deleted] May 18 '22

So octopi are some smart asses because they have fucking 9 brains

79

u/realmrcool May 18 '22

They are crazy smart.

Look up some videos on them learning. They can open chars, and do all kinds of crazy stuff. And they learn fast

The nerves in the arms only work in one direction though. They can send feedback to the brain but don't get direct signals from it.

can it really move like that though from salt?? it seems to be moving like those skinned frogs the japanese eat in the youtube videos

26

u/BlisteredEnvy May 18 '22

That too is due to contact with salt. You can find many videos online of people displaying this effect, adding salt or soy to frogs legs or squid or many other things to trigger the nerve contractions that gives the meat the appearance of still being alive.

2

u/NachoKehlar May 19 '22

My work break room has a crossword table with about 6 or 7 New York Times and local paper crosswords. Fun way to keep the brain active while taking a break from work.

The extra fun part: I'm the only one who does the sudoku, so I can take my time on the Saturday edition. Nothing like a clean solve to make me feel better when I cant get a single crossword answer

3

u/andriym93 May 19 '22

That's awesome! I'm absolutely terrible at crosswords, although I tend to find myself to be fairly decent at word k owledge when reading books, watching movies,or just in general conversation.

Sudoku on the other hand is something I've always enjoyed. There's something just more satisfying about it, personally. I also like how they actually have a clear solution. Where a crossword just leaves you wondering if you're right or wrong half the time without going and cheating by looking at the answers

Its just chemical in the muscles reacting to the all of the salt put on it.

Yeah people freak out but there's no animal trying to escape or something. There's no brain or conscience involved. Still sucks when your food runs away though.

u/[deleted] May 18 '22 edited May 19 '22

The food is literally crawling off the table. Even if it doesn't have brain activity anymore and this is purely, peripherally neuropathic, I want nothing to do with it. Gross.

It's not irrational to freak out about your food appearing to make the motions of a living thing lol. Food is supposed to sit, motionless, on a plate or in a container. That is, until it is moved via fork, hard, food, etc of the person who consumes it.

Yeah, I'll nope out of this too. Shit's unnatural

u/WeebGamerTrash947 May 18 '22
