I always enjoy the content here. I get exactly what I'm told in the title, it's consistently interesting to watch, and there's no extra garbage and annoying music and begging for likes. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate that! I try to keep my videos as garbage free as possible.
@@PhotoOwl But you make garbage (joke)
@@littlegamer00 i see what you did there :D
Clearly you did not eat h the video
@@PhotoOwl can you do oreos
It's like my dad always used to say : "If you put bananas in water for 230 days it turns real gross."
Oddly specific, but okay
thats so specific and its funny because now you get to share this with us despite that being a rare thing to ever come across
Always take em out at 229 1/2
THIS IS SO STUPID BUT FUNNY IMFOSAKAOAAOOAOAOA
Listen to your dad!
It's fascinating how different decomposition is underwater! The bananas didn't go brown at all!
Lack of oxygen I'm guessing. But yeah, I also thought it would break down faster
It is because it is still lifeless water. If it was left in the sea full of other animals and bacteria it would decompose quicker.
@@PhotoOwl I was really surprised about how banana-like it was at the end!
@@PhotoOwl : You're kind of like a scientist. 🍌🦠
There was no air going into the jar
I've always wondered what would happen if I were to place a fruit in water for 230 days, thanks for the video!
I'm sure you did
😂 the way it was super specific
@@fplrandom6232 Yes, i also wondered that (and exactly 230 days)
I wondered what would happen if a fruit was put in water for 231 days, but this is good too
lmao
bro waits half a year for these vids, huge respect
I appreciate that!
No they are a time traveller!!
@@PhotoOwl speaking of... you must have an incredibly high electrical bill lol. All the cameras and lights... I assume you have multiple projects going at once? How many, if so?
@@Jingling-MelO well they would only take one picture per day or hour depending on the time lapse, no?
I thought it was video and not photos. But I could be totally wrong
What you also should have done at the end of it was measure the alcohol content of the water. Those bubbles would have been natural fermentation so I reckon that water would have a noticeable alcohol level
I'm sure it turned into alcohol, but I'm also quite sure it didn't stop there. Probably a lot of organic acids from breakdown by bacteria.
Thats what I thought - basically how farmhouse cider is made. (With apples not bananas, obviously!)
Why pay money for liquor when you can just leave some bananas in water for 230 days?
Banana wine
I was wondering if it smelled like vinegar. Probably depends how tight that plastic wrap was
Looking forward to seeing the “Leaving my house underwater for 2 years video”!
Hmmm good idea
@@PhotoOwl 🤣
@@PhotoOwl if you're in Florida, boy do I have great news!
Honestly impressive, 230 days of waiting, His patience level is insane
Thanks a lot!
You always gotta be patient for the buck bro
I guess he probably does 5 or 3 at all at once so he doesn’t have to wait like 50 days just so he has to do another one
He keeps a camera on for 230 days not himself standing all the 230 days
Now I wonder about using salt water...I had a relative working on the original wooden dry dock at the Naval Shipyard in the 1980's. He told me all the timbers above the water had to be replaced, but the ones below the low tide mark were as fresh as when they were installed in 1611....
1:35 - IT’S BLEEDING
It had its period
Me at the restaurant: *waiting for my smoothie*
The cook:
I’m amazed they stayed yellow and mostly intact… wow
because the lack of oxygen, that's why is called oxidation...
@ Thanks for the info, but I'm still surprised that no mold came up and fully decomposed the banana. I mean, isn't water the best thing for mold?
@ and there's oxygen underwater. If there was not, fish wouldn't be able to breathe. So is oxygen in water somehow unable to react because of some complex reason in chemistry or physics or what?
@@vedantsridhar8378 i don’t know that much. But I do know that chefs put the fruit in water to prevent browning. So there’s something in the water that prevents the reaction with the oxygen.
@Vedant Sridhar my brother the jar was sealed airtight, that's why there was no oxygen
I really like these timelapses, keep doing what you do
Glad you like them! More to come
1:30
Banana 1: get away from me!
Banana 2: I want company- *collapses*
Banana 1: ahh are you ok??
I honestly commend you for having the stomach to satisfy and record my curiosities, these timelapses answer the questions that linger in the back of my mind but would have never in my life tested myself. I mean, the results are absolutely revolting, but it's so cool nonetheless.
Actually I want to try it but my parents won't allow me because it's too unhygienic. Otherwise I'd love to know what the results are like after 8 months or even a year. Only thing is (and the most important) I won't do any timelapse of it.
Mans probably has a metal rusting video in progress 🗿
I find it interesting that mold can grow literally anywhere, but seemingly out of nowhere.
But this didn't mold :) I literally expected this to mold, but instead gummi bears molded in another timelapse of his.
When the sad music comes at 2:38, I nearly almost cry. so sad. And the poor bananas. They are so spoilt I'm makes me so melancholy. And the music is so nearly sad. How could you?
do you know the name of the music
The mere concept of soaking a banana is interesting. 230 days? Only a madman would do such a thing. Also did the water actually turn red or was that brown?
Thank you! :)
At the end it had some very dark orange hue, but that probably because how this jar was in a black corner, and the light made it look like that. When I moved it outside it wasn't as dark orange as let's say at about day 220. You can see it in the video where I cut the banana.
I'm so curious about the behind the scenes. I just imagine like 78 cameras set up in a super stinky room 😅
Omg, that microscopic footage over time was fascinating! Love your work :)
Especially that microbe at 4:06, the cute creature that spoils my food and makes me sick, but looks really cute under a microscope.
The best comment will be pinned! :) btw have you guys seen the microscope part? What do you think about that? Should I keep making those, or nah?
yea
banana water
Im at 1:50
0:28 what happend to ur finger, why is it bandaged. Is everything ok?
im at 3:00 lol
I wanted to see bananas in water for 231 days :(
It's actually 238 days, and even the counter says 238 days, I just rounded the number in the title. So yeah, you are in luck :)
I actually didn't notice xd
These bananas have lived through times of war and recordbreaking heatwaves
Forbidden smoothie
Pfft😂
I would drink it....
But only in my dream.
1:42 sir why is your banana bleeding
That microscope part was insane. I honestly expected the cells to have burst due to osmosis. I wonder if the innards diffusing into the solution would impact that?
microscope timelapse soon
innards
GEOMETRY DASH REFERENCE?
Plant cells don’t burst with osmosis
The cells have cell walls so they won't burst :)
🗿🍷
2:52
I love the background music here.
Enjoyed the dissection too btw.
Same here. There's something really sad about this music, like perfect for a spoiled banana.
My main thought while watching this video: hmmm, I wonder if that water became alcoholic.
If there were enough wild yeasts on those bananas, they could have produced a decent amount of alcohol... which can also explain the bubbles (yeast basically eats sugar & poops alcohol and gas).
Some think our ancestors discovered alcohol by accidentally leaving containers with fruit/grain out in the rain.
yep
As the bananas weren't sterilized, it's likely that the yeasts didn't come alone. The water probably became alcoholic, but lactic acid-producing bacteria might as well have been introduced to the jar, as well as other different fermenting microorganisms.
@@yukinagato1573 banana kombucha, yum
@@yukinagato1573 it might have turned into vinegar because of it wasn’t sterilized, plus the amount of time it sat there for. That could be what that white layer on the water’s surface was: mother of vinegar.
It was obvious that fermentation was taking place.
Me at 1am: Why am I watching a guy pull apart a waterlogged banana?
It's incredible how well the water preserved the bananas.
Banana: ded
Bacterias: happy
Viewer: interested
Hotel: Trivago
Okay , now imagine that banana is my brain in math .
Photo Owl Time Lapse, Keep up the great work!
That microbe at 4:02 is lit.
hahahahahahahahahahaha you said it brother
Yeah, I had to draw that microbe for my biology class.
3:01 + buy a microscope to see what’s changed, while I’m typing this you already bought 🤣🤣🤣 thank you for this incredible video❤
This is actually a great way to water your plants and give them the nutrients they need. Would you possibly consider using the water from this type of experiment to feed a plant while we watch it's growth cycle from the banana experiment
I’ve never been more glad that I stayed until the end!
I LOVE the microscope footage!
Then it was worth it to put in the video
Especially 4:05. Do you think that was a microbe? I've seen a similar drawing of that for macrophages in my biology class.
other people: wow the banana has so much stuff!
me: 4:18 *RGB BANANA*
Micro cam is the best. The world at such a small scale is truly incredible.
Were you wearing a respirator when you opened the jar? The stuff you put your dishes through. LOL
I had a lot of fun with the microscope in the past few weeks, I will try to implement it in almost every new video.
Nope, I wore no respirator. I had luck and the wind blew the smell away from me. :D
Title: "Longest I've ever waited for a smoothie"
The way the water changed colour several times was really interesting.
From blue, to green, to yellow, to red to brown..
I have no idea why it did that, especially the blue and green
I heard bananas are the most radioactive fruit
Love how the bananas started 'bleeding' that and the air coming out the skin. Really interesting.
I'm surprised the gas from the bananas didn't pop the top 😆 always so interesting to watch these videos!!
Looked like a crime scene at the end
The banana died by drowning
It’s interesting how it’s still yellow. I would have definitely expected it to turn black.
But water prevents oxidation from happening.
@@vedantsridhar8378 Oh okay! That makes sense. Thank you for explaining!
Dilemma: should I eat my banana before... or after watching this? Certainly DURING is not an option...
Are you going to do a "tour" of your place were you do these timelapses? With all the setups, behind the scenes and so
i have respect that you can touch it without anything i just get sick seeing it
Yeah, I would be disgusted for the rest of my life, and I'd start hating bananas if I had to do what he did in this video.
It was all going exactly as I expected until the red appeared. Why red? It's so crazy!
I guess some microorganisms propagated.
Because red represents anger. The banana is getting angry that nobody is eating it.
This video completely changed my life. Thank you so much, God bless!
I was wondering if the bubbles had anything to do with Potassium reacting with the water over time? You know how bananas contain potassium which is highly volatile in water?
2K + 2H20 => 2KOH + H2
If the average banana contains 400mg of potassium, theoretically, about 200mL of hydrogen gas should be produced at 25C if the whole banana reacted in excess water (which it obviously didn’t so it’s an overestimate). It would be interesting to “pop-test” the gases that appear at 1:16. It’s probably way more complicated than that though. Any chemistry experts know what’s going on? As I’m sure that’s not the only reaction taking place (if at all!)
That's natural yeast eating the sugars of the banana creating CO2 as a bi product.
yapping
I expected it to look less like a banana but they did quite good
Actually, if you sterilized everything and kept it at the right temperature, it would be possible to lacto-ferment those bananas. I believe the process is similar to how they make banana wine in Tanzania. I think it would be interesting to see lactobacillus under a microscope.
Can you try leaving a banana in one of those air-tight vacuum-sealed bags for 30 days?
The fact that the banana went from healthy to being mushy for being in water for about only 4 minutes is insane.
“It is a timelapse stupid!1”
@@nand87 😂lol
This guy answered a question I didn't know I had.
This channel has a way of doing that 😄
How can you wait all this time..congratulations never stop doing this its amazing
This man is filming plastic decomposing as we speek
Wow! I never thought I'd ask myself what one of your videos smells like but... 😆
The amount of gas that came off those!
I imagine it was CO2 seeing how easily it broke apart! All that cellulose and glucose breaking down to base compounds!
You never had to ask to stay for the microscope footage, and time-lapse too! Love your work! 👍
Maybe even hydrogen gas?? Because bananas contain potassium?
Doubt it was CO2 because that requires oxygen
@@darkhelmet12e47 The oxygen is already present in the sugars amongst other things. Glucose and cellulose are basically just complexes of carbon and oxygen. NileRed was able to use this fact to make toilet paper moonshine! (a great video) Also carbon loves to bond with oxygen, so I think that a majority of it would be CO2, with other gases such as hydrogen also present.
However, I could be mistaken and I'm always up for a healthy debate about stuff 👍
@@-Graham True, there is oxygen in the sugars, but probably not enough to break it down enough. I would assume it is a byproduct like methane along with a bit of CO2.
Methane??
If that’s what water does to bananas, imagine what it does to your insides. We should all stop drinking water.
Fun fact; banana peel water (obviously not kept for this long lol) can help your plants because of the nutrients like potassium phosphorus magnesium, and calcium being sucked out of the peels and into the water!
The water left over at the end would be really good for eating plants, since it has high potassium levels
Just imagine how patient this person is in making this video for 238 days, im imagining what happen if someone else found this and throw it out in the bin😅
Then he'd make a video of that person being under water for 230 days, lol.
Her: He's probably thinking of other women
Him: That 5 min video of bananas sitting in water was crazy
1:52 why does it look red
For a while all I could think of was "banana soda"
Do you use tab water or sterilized water? Ionized water? Would be interesting to see the difference over time
I have a fear of mold, yet I still watch your content... Am I a masochist?
i would still eat that
Bro...
I would eat it, but only if my exam is tomorrow and I haven't studied yet. Then my exam date is postponed to after I recover, at least here in Germany.
i feel like only a psychopath would think of this question
2:16 Id take a bite
That's just like the time I accidentally left 3 babananas in a jar of water for 235 days. Trust me they don't taste good.
I bet they would smell terrible , so nobody would even dare to taste it becaus.
Isn't it just nice to watch 1 year of another person's hardwork, patience and electricity bill in a 5 minute video?
Common guys the least we can do is to like this video 😇.
And share it to our friends or even our teacher. I think it's a good idea for biology/ chemistry teachers to show their students this video before starting their classes, talking about fermentation, biopreservation, oxidation, etc. Good video, (disgusting in a cool way), beautiful music, etc. I think every teacher must do that.
Man, I feel bad for the fact that you have to smell that. I just know that you're wheezing in the background in all of these videos 🤣💀
Where did you guess that they smelled bad?
Did the bubbles show that the banana was fermenting?
Or you knew that water is not a natural preservative?
I really believed the banana was biopreserved.
Do you like... walk past the jar and say "Damn, can't wait for 80 more days to pass?"
Yes! Spot on
I'm at that phase with the apple submerged in water project.
@@PhotoOwl Can't wait for that one, the original is how I found your channel.
Things decompose much slower underwater, that's how police can recover bodies dumped underwater years after the murder and still identify them.
0:28 what happend to ur finger, why is it bandaged. Is everything ok?
I have a faint memory of me cutting my finger, but I'm not even sure anymore. It was a long time ago :D
@@PhotoOwl I hope it gets well soon
They're doing a healing timelapse, don't worry
My dude probably recording a decomposing human as we speak💀
Awesome video!
The best comment
Awesome comment is awesome :D
They are surprisingly preserved
But they smell horrible
first
true
Third
Fourth
@@TTArt non
Thanks to all of you for being so fast!
When the knife came out all I could think was "please don't eat it please don't eat it"
What do you think would happen if you eat it despite its horrible smell and taste?
Thanks for taking the time to make this video I enjoyed it.
It's funny because it looks so disgusting but I enjoy this kind of disgust.
that jar turned into a crime scene. also love how the banana broke apart like a taco bell crunchwrap
Now you distill it.
Ive been sucked into that corner of youtube again, haven't I?
in short, making banana vodka the wrong way
thanks for the video , thats what i am often thinking when i wake up "What if I left bananas in water for 230 days? 🤔" now i know , keep it up 👍🔥🔥
Thank u for doing this so i don't have to do it and get scolded by my mum 😂
My pleasure hahah
This guys house is gonna be ground zero for COVID 20
At least that way his channel will get as popular as MrBeast.
You have a pretty nice garden!
The stench should be downright terrifying
Never in my life did I ever expect to see banana blood before now.
I cannot even imagine how bad that must smell
It would smell like my bedroom
That was significantly less gross than anticipated.
I’ve just realised that any requests people give to this channel will take nearly a year before they are actually released
This is one of most entertaining and satisfying channel. Can you please do a timelapse of any fruit inside a vacuum?
