The average person uses 10% of the brain's potential capacity

>The average person uses 10% of the brain's potential capacity.
>She uses 99%.

don't take it too seriously brainlet. at the end of the movie she uses so much of her brain that she can separate all of her atoms and dissolve into time and space. it's pretty fucking stupid but if you should know going in that it's just going to be some hacky sci fi bullshit.

love 10% meme
human uses 100% of the brain, potential is depending on what he knows and is able to do.

A trope that is based on debunked science, but still gets wheeled out like your retarded sister at Thanksgiving.

>She is operating on a plane of existence we can't even comprehend!

Use your brain to turn into a thumb drive

So how much do we use then?

>tfw to inteligint to exist

100%. The brain has been mapped, it's all accounted for.

All of it. Why would a creature evolve to only use a fraction of their total strength, when it's what they need to survive?

At anyone moment I mean

I told my grandfather that the '10%' thing is wrong, and he said, "If you have as much faith as a (something) seed you can move mountains, therefore you're wrong. The internet has poisoned your young mind."

Are you retarded? ALL OF IT. Even when you're asleep, everything except your pre-frontal cortex is active.

you gotta save some for when a car falls on your child.

its random depending what you need to do

>The internet has poisoned your young mind

Well he ain't wrong.

It depends on what you're doing in that one moment.

Doing an exam, playing soccer, and speaking German will mean more activity.

That's you Hypothalamus releasing adrenaline and endorphins to bypass your muscle's defence mechanisms letting you over exert to the point of tear.

Don't be fucking stupid they can do brain scans to see the activity and it's never all active at one moment.

>100% and you get seizure

That's like all apps of a phone being open at the same time at the same screen. Shit would be confusing as fuck and serve no purpose. The brain has different parts for different purposes, of course they all aren't working at the same time.

You also burn a lot of calories.

Because you don't need all of it active for a single task like sleeping.

Your brain is a product of evolution. It's incredibly good and efficient at what it does. Supposing that there's a hard 10% cap on your mental processing power, that can somehow be surpassed, is fucking nonsense.

> His test results are off the charts

You? about 12% right now

>She uses only 56% of her brain

>movie takes itself too seriously

>she
All women jnherently use 0% even if that's scientifically inaccurate.

>character uses 126% of their brain capacity

it's

>plain of existence

you actual retard

>he's using over 3000% of his brain power and he's STILL not getting
So this is the power of brainlets...

Why is Sup Forums so misogynistic?

Whaat?? No way!

Why are you a dirty nigger?

Uh huh...

>explains wormhole
>uses folded sheet of paper and pencil

pls be my gf

...

Wouldn't it mean you were dumber than usual if your brain needed to work at full capacity all the time? That'd be like writing a calculator program that needs 100% of a PC's resources to do addition.

That was smart desu

>Wouldn't it mean you were dumber than usual if your brain needed to work at full capacity all the time? That'd be like writing a calculator program that needs 100% of a PC's resources to do addition.

That's assuming you're only doing one task. If you retain the ability to multitask, running at 100% isn't going to slow you down.

But in this context it would be like trying to walk by moving every limb as fast as possible.

No retard plane

People always take this shit way too literally. It's not about your brain 'physically' being used to fully capacity in the sense that all of the sudden certain dormant areas of the brain become activated.
It's more like how a monk utilizes his brain capacity better than some retarded kid with ADHD or how some autistic savant faggots have superhuman memory, etc.

Reminder Lucy is getting a sequel.

>People always take this shit way too literally.

Your examples aren't non-literal, they're just slightly more vague (e.g. "better" instead of "X%"). Being less specific to try to evade criticism isn't the same thing as being metaphorical.

Wrong. If they meant that, they would have used "mind" and not "brain." The mind is conceptual, the brain physical.

No, it's a fundamentally different thing. People autistically latch on to the 'every area of the brain is already used' which is completely different than mental cultivation being taken to superhuman levels.
In our world there already exist people who, through mental cultivation -or gentic traits- can ignore pain, resist cold, hold their breath for 10 minutes, have a memory way beyond the limit of a regular human, etc.
It is perfectly agreeable that in the mythological context of a film this concept can be taken to extreme and fantastical levels.
It's about the potential of the human brain -again, in real life we can already see the effects of certain mental training e.g. meditation and what not- and not about literal inactive brain areas somehow become active. It's a reddit tier nitpick that misses the point.

Poor ScarJo. Ghost in the Shell didn't work out, back to the B-list for you.

Just kidding, I made all that up. lol

NANI

>can ignore pain, resist cold, hold their breath for 10 minutes, have a memory way beyond the limit of a regular human, etc
That's called learning. All of those are things you have to train yourself to be able to do. It doesn't do anything magical with your brain.

if I would nitchpick everything wrong with movie science I wouldn't be able to enjoy anything desu
