Why are zombies impossible?

The concept of zombies, as popularized in fiction and horror genres, typically refers to reanimated corpses with a hunger for human flesh. While zombies make for entertaining stories, the idea of traditional zombies, as portrayed in movies and literature, is considered impossible based on our current understanding of biology, physics, and medical science. Here are a few reasons why:

Lack of Vital Functions: Traditional zombies are often depicted as reanimated corpses, but real-life death involves the cessation of vital functions such as respiration, circulation, and brain activity. Once these functions stop, it is not possible for a body to spontaneously come back to life.

Decomposition: After death, the body undergoes decomposition, a natural process where tissues break down. This process is irreversible, and reanimated corpses do not align with the biological reality of decomposition.

Energy Requirements: Movement, especially coordinated and purposeful movement, requires energy. Once a body has died, the processes that generate energy (such as cellular respiration) have ceased. Reanimating a corpse would require a source of energy, which is not available in a deceased body.

Brain Function: Consciousness, awareness, and complex behavior are associated with brain function. Once the brain has experienced irreversible damage, as is the case in death, it is not capable of driving conscious thought or purposeful action.

Infection and Spread: In many zombie scenarios, an infectious agent, often a virus, is responsible for reanimating the dead. While viruses can cause various diseases, the idea of a virus reanimating the dead and turning them into aggressive, flesh-eating creatures is not scientifically plausible.

They are not only impossible, but regularly occur. The person doesn't die when the neocortex fails. The lower parts of the brain keep going through the person's routines, and are even capable if talking in a sort of chatbotty way. It seems like you quite can't grasp what they want to say. They don't want to say anything, they just do.

Because zombie arguments are circular / assuming the conclusion:
>imagine same physics no consciousness
>therefore consciousness is not physics
>because same physics no consciousness is possible

Now consider the /pol/tard argument:
>zombies lack independent thought
>/pol/tard thought is dependent on (reacting to) something
>therefore /pol/tards are zombies too

Another version of the /pol/tard argument:
>zombies are more compliant than non-zombies
>non-zombies are more compliant to being non-compliant
>therefore everyone is a zombie

Zombies are a contradiction: the living dead, beings that should not be.

Off the top of my head Orcas and Crows have abstract thought, self-reflection, symbolic language, distinct cultures, and the ability to transmit history to newer generations. There's plenty of other examples. Even some arthtropods show examples of higher thinking.

Viral zombies are somewhat plausible, rabies is honestly not that far off - it cause many of the people and animals who are infected to become mindlessly aggressive and violent, and spreads by biting. Of course it shows that the zombie types that only spread by biting are not a serious risk to organized society; even before effective medical treatment for rabies it was a minor cause of death.

Now airborne rabies? That would be scary as fuck.

Imagine hurling yourself down the stair with no care for your well being or tripping and slamming headfirst into the concrete. Imagine tripping and having a horde of people walk over you. Imagine having horrendous fractures and injuries but instead treating them you let them fester and just stand outside in the elements all day, every day and have bugs and birds slowly feast on you. The human body is just not strong enough to take this kind of abuse and remain functional. So even if there was some magical parasite or virus that made zombies possible, mindless zombies shuffling through a city would quickly end up as immobile sacks of rotting meat and broken bones.

they aren't technically. if you ask why some particular zombies are not possible I suppose you need to tell us which ones, as in from what movie. but having that behavior shouldn't be impossible, just that sure, they'd need some sort of energy source, apart from humans. like have them be omnivores. if you don't they'll just die, they're pretty retarded and would get outsmarted by almost any human. they'd lack energy and just die at some point.

"traditional zombies" come from voodoo, not from shitty burger novels.
Its quite a process to create one.
The witch doctor picks a victim and poisons it with tetradotoxin from a pufferfish. The TTX is a neurotoxin that blocks the Na channels in neurons, effectively stopping muscle movement including breath.
If the dose is just right, the victim doesnt die from it, but stays in a suspended animation for a few days, appearing dead but will in time recover.
So that victim is declared dead and buried. Then the witch doctor comes by and digs up the "corpse". While recovering, he next doses some scopolamine from nightshades. This is a deliriant that causes realistic hallucinations, memory loss and makes the victim highly suggestible. Now the "zombie" is kept as a workslave, doing manual tasks for the witchdoctor, who keeps dosing the scopolamine.
Anyone who sees the zombie " knows" he died, therefore is obviously a resurrected zombie.
When US soldiers were stationed in Haiti, they encountered these "undead" and heard the local explanations for it. Then they got back to the states and wrote shitty horror novels that hollywoo picked up and turned into shitty horror movies.
Fast forward and people on best korean rocketry forums talks about shitty scifi concepts, how you could create an actual undead, brain eating zombie.

If that's the case then everyone involved needs to be silenced forever including suspicious family members, police, lawyers, doctors and morticians..
>So that victim is declared dead and buried. Then the witch doctor comes by and digs up the "corpse".
The victim will die from suffocation in the underground coffin before the witch doctor has a chance of digging up the victim.
>Now the "zombie" is kept as a workslave, doing manual tasks for the witchdoctor, who keeps dosing the scopolamine.
When drugged the victim can not perform tasks effectively.

>everyone involved needs to be silenced forever
everyone involved is haitian and beliefs in voodoo and zombies. There is no sceptics involved and even US soldiers bought it.
>suffocate in the coffin
He's in a near death state with almost non existent heartbeat and breathing. Recovery is not guaranteed, but the oxygen in the coffin is not the critical factor here.
In Japan, when someone dies from TTX poisoning after a badly prepared fugu neal, they put them into a room for a couple of days before burial, because people are known to recover.
>can not perform tasks
They cannot perform work that requires mental capacity. Easy physical labour is no problem.
They are not incapacitated, only highly delirious and suggestible.
