I have seen before footage of the eyeballs of a severed head moving as if to look around, but this was after a very swift beheading with one quick slice of a sword. And this can still make sense, as if done quickly, the head might still have enough oxygenated blood to still be alive for a couple seconds. This recent footage from the nagorno karabakh conflict, however, is different and puzzling.

The severed head seems lifeless, until someone moves the dead body of the victim. Once the body is moved, the head opens the mouth and shows us its tongue, as if eating a delicious pistachio icecream. Or perhaps a coffee flavoured one, mmmmm 😛.
A user on the website comments, saying "What you saw there was a phenomenon where the head was reacting to the dude stepping on the chest of the body even though it's totally severed. When you're prepping for turtle soup you cut the turtles head off and place the body in boiling stock. The minute the turtles body touches the boiling stock, the severed head sitting on the cutting board will open up its mouth like it's screaming."
I have never heard of this phenomenon, and I find it intriguing.
Thoughts?
wat u fink star trek?
p.s. the linked website is good for footage from the conflict; I have not been seeing any food footage from the conflict anywhere else, but then again I have not really been searching for it in particular or anything.
i see this regularly from dead 'things'
i dont know the scientific explanation...but i do know that muscles retain their fuel to contract regardless of the body being dead. the nerves have 'crossed wires' or 'misfires' and it causes a muscle to expand and/or contract.
ive seen people trying to collect dead deer, hogs, and other dead animals and they do all kinds of weird shit. breathe...turn their heads...wag their tails...opening the mouth...with the most common one ive seen is legs moving like theyre running.
ive read similar stories online from morticians.
