- Where do you go to quench your thirst? The kitchen sink? The local bar? The mineral-rich springs of Bergamo, Italy?
In the 21st century, you don’t have to go that far for fresh water. But still, supply is running out.
What if we didn’t have to worry about water consumption? What if you could drink and shower as much as you wanted? What if a trip to the well and a trip to the beach were one and the same?

Instead of planting more trees, let's grow more algae, or even do both.

But algae helps in evaporating water that means if there would be more algae in oceans then everyday we would face heavy rains which will make the situation worse

WE ARE. the chances of humanity existing and been surving this long is astronomical. We all know this. How is her comment edgy? The op literally said in any what if scenario we all die. So yea we are in FACT lucky.
We are going to die at some point. Not because of an asteroid or the sun swallowing us. But because of nuclear war, too many trees were chopped down which leads to less oxygen. Or global warming effect.
Don’t you just love people?
2050: There was a time when there was no plastic in the oceans, but now it accounts for 2.5% concentration of plastic.
I’ve finally figured out you don’t have to watch these. Just read the scenario and end it with we die.

Because this how physics work

WHAT IF OUTER SPACE HAD AIR? Could we hear explosions from outer space here on Earth!?
Yeah
No. There is not enough matter to carry the sound
Any large explosions nearby would knock planets off their orbit bcoz of the xompressed air hitting those planets
And the friction thing too seems probable
the sky would possibly be dimmer, due to the amount of stuff in the air
To be honest, that means 125dB of blaring, blazing Sun. I said blaring since it is comparable to train horn blaring 5 meters away from you, 24/7
Such a RADICAL Documentary!!!
I did always wonder "WHAT IF" about the oceans salt? Thanks for the video. I liked it. I did like the Yellowstone park video as well. Keep them rolling, i do wonder what if this and that about things on earth.
Ok...
In conclussion...
No salt. No life🤷🏽♂️😂

World: Salt has almost no value today.
Ocean salt: yeah sure.
"what if you could drink and shower as much as you want?"
One of the benefits of living in a mountainous nation is we never run out of fresh water. The only thing holding me back from insanely long showers is the size of our warm water tank.
Living here in North East Ohio same Lake Erie right there freshwater for miles and miles
So if someone calls you out for being salty you can say the world and food chain depends on it
Only If they smart enough to know that
When I was a kid, I thought many of the scenarios on What If would have no drastic consequences on our world. Now that I’m older, I know that the science says otherwise and the scenarios I used to think were harmless are actually really deadly.
I learn more on this channel then online and regular school combined
At the end of every "what if " video , *we die* !

You are talking about If suddenly salt from sea is gone. But if it is a really slow process i think all the species will able to survive.
To ensure every species from every phylum and kingdom living in the ocean could surive you'd need around 10000 years. This is because their offspring would have to reproduce until such an adaptation to fresh water could occur. This is problematic as lobsters, jellyfish, clams, hydras and turtles would take forever to catch up while plankton would could get up to date in a few years.
Exactly. It's not like salt will vanish in a day. Answer should had been as per the question, "what if there was no salt in ocean/sea from the beginning?". Earth would had adapted in simillar way.
Only if it happened over a course of millions of years to allow evolution to occur. Everything would die off too fast to adapt if it happened any faster. By then, us humans would have probably blown everything up by then anyway.
E .S well the first life forms didn’t have sunlight. They lived on chemicals from volcanic vents. It is possible that if Earth was a rogue planet with no sun but had a significant heat source from tidal heating via a large moon or even a gas giant, there would be an ocean for life underneath an icy shell. Life could still evolve without sunlight. It would just be very different. Back in 2005, they found bacteria that used the faint light from hydrothermal vents for photosynthesis. The amount of oxygen would slowly build until other bacteria begin tolerating and using it. Some might make their own light. These bioluminescent bacteria might partner with the photosynthetic bacteria which would then have access to a better, more reliable light source, allowing them to photosynthesize constantly. This would lead to underwater plants that use their own light to make food. Add that to how cold water dissolves more oxygen and you eventually have an ocean richer in oxygen than ours. This could accelerate the evolution of fauna, leading to many implications. Fishlike fauna would be not only bigger but more numerous. Arthropods would also grow bigger. These creatures would generally be slow and live long lives, centuries on average, though some could evolve to be fast and endothermic. If there are any openings in the ice that lead to the surface, some creatures might even be intrepid enough to leave the water, where they would likely be very blubbery and seal-like in ecology. Eventually these alternative “seals” would develop stronger limbs to be more mobile on land, and might even crawl to the surface, where they could carry bioluminescent flora with them, setting up an ecosystem on the surface. That’s just my speculation though, but it’s not impossible for life to find a way without sunlight. It would just look very different and evolve different.
E .S exactly what I said. It wouldn’t be the same. It’s not that there wouldn’t be life at all, it would evolve very differently. We might be multi-legged, heavily fur coated creatures with either no eyes, relying on sound, or really big eyes to see bioluminescent prey. Or we could be aquatic bioluminescent tentacle monsters that use volcanic heat for metallurgy and cultivate glowing kelp that grow from light they make themselves. There would be a You or me, only difference is that humans just wouldn’t be defined as bipedal, mostly hairless, warm blooded, terrestrial creatures with five digits.

What if: what if all the sea water becomes fresh water?
Me: Then we don't have to worry about salty water getting inside our mouth at beach 😂😂😂😂😂
It's amazing that all of these things have reasons for existing and it finds balance on the world.
What if everyone fart at same time
All the plants would grow very well for the next year or so.. all that methane releases at once.. or the planet would explode 😂
0.67 % of gases would get released into the atmosphere
I am dead after reading this 😂😂😂😂
Maybe global warming or just a very discussing smell for a few seconds
Yes
What If be like, “What if all right-handed people became left-handed people and vice-versa?”
Answer: The earth would implode into a black hole.
Watching your video make me relieved from stress ☺️
this channel always comes in handy during 3AM bruh
It’s amazing that these sea creatures can tolerate so much salt. Impressive really.
That's the thing they can't for the most part,that's why they get rid of it trough salt glands.
I love how you've already created a lot of videos, but you still manage to make more with equal/better and well-researched and well-organized content.
When I in 9th standard in the exam we had to write an essay on "What will do if u get super power".
I wrote that I will convert all the oceans in fresh water to eradicate the problem of water depletion.
Today got the recommendation of this video 😂😂
everything is so perfect, it can not be random but rather some power is behind it
Can u do one about "What if we sleep at daytime and work at night?"
Some people do that
Just go to walmart at night and ask
We need energy from the sun so by sleeping day time your not getting enough sunlight unless your window is open or something but that would be hard to sleep for me I need it dark can’t sleep at day time
One in a kind Baby my dad is a police officer, he is working nights, so he does sleep during the day and work at night.
*It's very common in the Philippines especially the ones who works in the Call Center Industry. They work at night since that's daytime in the US.*
*Salt water converts to fresh water.

Watching this channel has made me realize that everything happens for a reason😎
Without even watching the video 2 words:
RIP NEMO
How everything the earth has given is just perfect.
toy friends because beings evolved to match it.
right?!! i always found it so phenomenal how everything just fell into place like that
@@riyad3320 I forgot what scientist said this but I quote "Human life is just a big fkn coincidence"
Perfect how exactly? Everything on earth has adapted to it. Countless generations of animals and humans have died over and over again so they can live in the environment they do. The world is far from perfect and habitable human ingenuity has made it so.
Jeffrey Kyle
1. The first statement is wrong, if we were any closer or farther it depends on the numerical value as a small change would create no significance.
2. Things don’t just “stop” happening, you have to take into account time and space, imagine if we all just stop eating meat, our bodies react drastically as well( if I stop drinking cow milk for a long time, I become temporarily lactose intolerant)
3. Again, it takes time for us to adapt to changes in our environment, if we gradually started losing salt in the ocean waters, by a very slow process, the life around it would have a slight CHANCE of adapting to the environment via natural selection/mutation; EVENTUALLY creating organisms that don’t need a salty environment to thrive, or organisms that can pollinate other ‘plants’ per se.
Lmao the way he just said *NOPE* 😂
My Cousin Told Me When I Was A Kid Why Ocean Are Salty She Told Me"There Were Once A Big Giant Who Was Walking With A Big Bucket Of Salt And Accidentally Tripped All The Salt To The Ocean And The Giant Fall Asleep And Became A Mountain And If We Wake Up The Giant While Its Sleeping It Would Wake Up And Destroy Us For Waking Him Up,Our Mountains Name Is Antonio But I Think It Was Just To Scare Me Not Messing With Eartg
