Those who watch it are sure to die. In other news, smoking increases the risk of dying to 100%, up from the usual 100%. | ||

For example, you can't normally crash notepad by typing various phrases into it, or strings of characters. But is there a possibility that if you put in a long and complicated enough string of phrases into notepad in the right order and timing, you could manipulate the transistors in your CPU or some other part of your computer that process this signal to violate their engineered safety factors and crash? Any such solution to this problem would be retardedly complicated, however, and far outside of the grasp of our current science/knowledge. | ||

Any such solution to this problem would be retardedly complicated, however, and far outside of the grasp of our current science/knowledge. anyone that knows anything about the brain does. It's not possible, period. The human brains have so many saftey devices for not frying including shutting down and rebooting. No image can crash your brain no matter what it does. The thing you are suggesting is the same as it "Might be possible" to move straight through a wall. Whenever you touch a wall some cells will leave your body they will even pass a bit into the wall because of the molecules structure. Now imagine one cell having the enormous luck of fitting into holes the entire way to get out the other side, do that times a couple of billion and you have yourself a man that just went through a wall. It's flawed logic, the brain isn't a computer that is going to short curcuit because of a few weird commands, to break a brain you need to abuse it constantly enough for it to lock down and not boot up again. A brain isn't a computer it's just a likness becuase they share some similarities, your brain can't delete system 32 on its own. | ||

It might be possible. Who knows? Yeah, it already is. Its called "torture and long term abuse". This article is kind of dumb. Its ridiculously obvious that the human mind can be given "input" that it can't "logically process" and thus, "breaks", we just call it something else, torture, abuse, etc. Blast loud music at someone long enough and they'll go insane. Isn't that a case of "Brain getting input that it can't process and breaks" lol? The Human brain already can be manipulated like a computer, it has been manipulated like a computer, we just don't think of it that way. | ||

The op picture is all bs, however flashing patterns will cause people to "crash" and die. I honestly don't know why nobody mentioned this till now, especially with all the comments that basically say "the brain cannot crash, evar". Also, I recall seeing something like this in the book Snow Crash. | ||
