I think everyone would jump at some crazy person jumping at them with a fork.
Griztastic
Or the brain knows that flimsy cardboard isn't going to stop a fork coming in at Mach 3 so it's being careful just in case.

Sauce?

Stab his left hand with the pencil and see if the middle one jumps back

Or maybe a normal person would jump when somebody comes flying out of nowhere with a fucking fork?

I rewatched this a lot to see if he could actually avoid the fork if it was his actual hand

And I just pooped a little.

What happens when the off-camera assistant stabs the wrong hand?
SomeGuyWhoSaysStuff
The brain does some interesting stuff, if you stab his real hand the fake one pulls back.

A similar trick to this can be used to help with phantom pain in amputees

phantom pain often comes from missing limbs feeling as if they are clenched or strained. you set up similar to above, but instead of the (1)

Mirror box homie, learned about it in high school physc
KrustyPartiallyGelatinatedNonDairyGumBasedBeverage
creating the illusion of two limbs. this helps the patient feel like they can release the missing limbs muscles, providing relief (3/3)
Bruhbeans
Wow that is cool
KrustyPartiallyGelatinatedNonDairyGumBasedBeverage
fake limb, you have a mirror reflecting the good limb. the patient then 'moves' both limbs in simultaneous motions, with the mirror (2)

Who else thought about the House episode with the one armed guy?

I actually thought about the Grey's Anatomy scene with Arizona's prosthetic foot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpjzg-JjzBc

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night I can feel my leg... and my arm... even my fingers. The body I've lost... the comrades(c)
ThundahStuck
I've lost... won't stop hurting.... It's like they're still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past.

Asians are usually startled by forks. We don't like em!
MG42CHEF
Yes, because you are barbarians, no table etiquette whatsoever. With your slurping and burping, absolutely repugnant.

Well it's about tine you learned to deal with them! About tine. Tines. Like on a fork. About tine. Get it? Ok then.

Because you can't eat rice with a fork ;)
Menohe
Ofc you can. Just use the ends of two forks!
AlwaysCorrect
I'd be startled too if someone with a fork jumped out at me
Bourbonkers
You are correct. Do you find that happens often?
HerrBisch
Yeah, the delivery here is way off.

But notice the only hand he pulls off the table?
MiniDitka5
Only one hand was stabbed. If he stabbed that fork close to the the other, he probably would have pulled that one away.
nickg131
Actually neither of his hands was stabbed. That's literally the point of this method. It's a trick.
