Fun fact: A watermelon takes about 90 days to grow, from planting to harvesting, and now we also know how long it takes to decompose.

The way it turned into an island and as if it was paper, just rips. This was oddly satisfying
Seriously like how and why did it also turn white on the back of the melon and the liquid
@@chair2355 maybe there was a paper cover below the watermelon?
@@chair2355 the white is mold idk what the liquid is it’s probably the old watermelon juice
I think the container is painted white inside and that's what peels up at the end. Compare what the bottom of the container looked like at the start to what you can see as it peels up.

It is amazing how long this particular family of fruit can stay unspoiled. My wife and I had a Chinese "winter melon" sitting on the kitchen table for more than a year. It underwent no noticeable change, and when we finally cut it up, it was as fresh and delicious inside as ever, ready to be cooked.
why did you wait that long without eating it?
They were filming a timelapse but they changed their mind, obviously.@@dinaldevanarayana4

Why would you cook a melon
It’s winter melon, it is commonly eaten in Asia
I love how the dog at the end was like:
"Wow a box, interesting!"
opens the box, releasing the smell
"Nope, I'm out."
I meam the dog was a much more intese nose..so EWWWW no EWWW
i think that at that point it was so dry that the smell must've died down by then.
Prolly no smell
Dog's nose broke after smelling it
Later he was even scared of the box, but I wasn't able to film that
it’s really great that he reversed the process in the end so he doesn’t waste an entire watermelon

Same
Yeah. Even the 10-day-old food in my fridge, which got spoiled smelled quite disgusting to me, just imagine how terrible the one-and-a-half-year-old watermelon must have been. The best I can imagine would be the smell of poop, but I can imagine it would be much worse than that.
@@vedantsridhar8378 it's honestly much better than poop. It would be a mix of strong alcohol and a heavy sweet smell, with a hint of earthy mold. Source: I've worked around food for a long time. Eventually you learn what these different things smell like. I'd take a rotten piece of fruit over something like a potato any day of the year. Those things smell like fish when they start actively decomposing.

when did it pop
@@kai1ey 1:17
Had a watermelon for less than a week and it exploded. Was already rotting from the inside by then. The one in this video took over 200 days to "pop." wtf
plot twist: the liquid in a watermelon is acid
@@XENOS_Indie_Game_Dev it might have something to do with how much the watermelon moved or how much air exposure they got
The music, with its meandering, wistful arpeggios, does a lot to convey the feeling of a watermelon rotting for two years. I've been that watermelon.
@@vedantsridhar8378 I think flies and maggots would eat it and think, "This is to die for." Anyone else would eat it and just die.
I assume the taste would be putrescent, the sixth sensation of the mouth after sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami
@@tuddgrimley8532 true. I also believe eating the whole spoiled 500 day old watermelon could kill you, but taking it in small amounts would cause food poisoning. When I suffered it a couple of years ago, it was terrible. It happened because I ate some very old food.

awesome and beautiful. so, if I forgot about my watermelon and it turns into a rotten mess, I should just let it go for another 200 days until it completely dries and peels itself away, making for a squeaky-clean clean up?

I recently had a whole watermelon that I didn't touch. It already leaked after about 30 days. And when I wanted to throw it away, it fell apart completely. Maybe his room was very cold or so.
Fun fact: depending on the environment, watermelons will actually start to ferment before exploding. Speaking from experience; we grew a bunch, left them on the counter undisturbed (we dont eat melons very often), and would only occasionally have one. Middle of the night we hear a hissing noise followed by a pop and the sound of liquid dripping; sure enough, the innards had fermented and there was juice dripping from everything.

Decomposing without oxygen takes longer.
It's likely that stuff was happening on the inside loooong before anything else happened outside
Weed bulbasaur
melons and squash last a loooong time due to their thick shells. Some winter squash you cut off the vine ancure for a while before you even eat them, plants are amazing, there are some long lasting fruit and vegetables that you can keep in a cool dry pantry for quite some time before it's inedible. Potatoes and onions also seem to last a very long time.

I can’t believe that watermelons can turn themselves into chips,truly impressive
Well if any food is left for long enough, it decomposes fully and dries up until it becomes sand-like. Even a leftover hamburger becomes sand-like, and that is what I discovered when I opened an old bag that I hadn't used for two years. There I found a package and inside it was sand, which was once a hamburger I bought but didn't have time to eat. Scary. Sometimes it becomes chip-like. In the end, everything becomes part of the soil. That is what hummus is. Big respect to nature, and the decomposers, for doing such a fantastic job at recycling nutrients. I just learned about the carbon cycle and the decomposers in my biology class, and I just love that topic. It keeps reminding me of this video.
@@vedantsridhar8378 until you do that with mcdonalds

And the melon lasted a lot longer than I thought it would.
I especially liked how the color faded and then came back, I wonder about the mechanisms there. Did the pigments just get overshadowed by something that eventual decayed letting us see them again? Or did a new layer of the same pigments become freshly exposed the second time around letting us see them again? Or something else altogether? Thanks for the video!
It became lighter because it was losing chlorophyll from no water. It turned dark green again because it dried out and shrunk like a balloon losing air
Or the seasons changed

@@PhotoOwl I'm curious, do you have a 'how it's made' sort of video for your timelapses? I imagine you have a small field full of containers filled with rotting stuff somewhere, and I'd be interested to see how you manage all of them
So fun fact: The rinds on melons and gourds are so good at preserving the fruit that you have the terms “summer squash” and “winter squash.”
Summer squash means you can eat it at any time during the summer and it will still be good, but it has a thinner rind so it will go bad sooner.
Winter squash refers to when people had root cellars and would store their harvest in there. You harvest winter squash in the summer but if you store them in a dark, cool environment you can enjoy them well into the winter. These have super thick rinds.
I don’t know when watermelon starts decomposing on the inside, but basically you’ll know if you take a bite and you want to spit it out. (Note: small children don’t have this learned behavior, please taste the juice or fruit first before giving it to a small child as they lack the experience to avoid rotten food.)
I was thinking the watermelon was GMO and very unnatural, thanks for clearing that up. Although that still does seam like a long time.
@@lindasano1552 Genetically modified fruit and crops can be incredibly natural. All GMO means is that it has been selectively bred for desirable qualities. Lemons are an entirely man-made species, therfore every lemon is GMO. Same with modern corn, it was bred to be big whereas ancient corn was small. Stop spreading misinformation that "GMO" means unnatural, that's a hoax by health nuts in order to sell expensive food and shady medicine.
@@freshgarbage1492 Bro, it's literally called Genetically modified organisam, it is not natural. There is something to be said about natural selection but such has limits, to go beyond those limits is unnatural, if the plant cannot reproduce on its own it is unnatural. You can breed different species of the same plants to get the desired results like larger fruit or a higher yield but the plant, much like dog breeds, will still be able to reproduce if it is natural. No most GMOs are not natural, why don't you stop parroting the main stream media.

How u record 1 years continuely and upload more videos how many cameras u have ???? Fake video
as someone who works in a grocery store and has to handle rotting melons that break open, I can only imagine how the smell must have been
I was literally about to make this exact comment. Word for word. More than once I’ve gone to pick up a watermelon while stocking and had my hand go completely through the melon only to be hit by that rotten melon smell.
Worst smell I’ve encountered while working a produce section has got to be Brussels sprouts that were sitting in a tub of water for two weeks. People kept pouring boxes on top without rotating anything. Just below the surface of the sprouts was hands down the worst smell I’ve ever smelled and it just got worse as it got deeper. Rotting dead bodies piled high in a sewer filled with ammonia. I can’t describe it any other way and I still feel like I’m underselling it.
Worst smell in produce hands down had a bad batch drop its guts in the chiller room it smelt like rotten watermelon for 2 days even through a deep clean
Asparagus gets pretty bad aswell when not rotated or overstocked and left for too long
@@arnoarno1092 Putting your hand through a melon, hearing the melon vomit out its innards and then having the smell hit you - I too have done this
how about when the watermelon gets all over you because it turned into watermelon juice
Whenever I see a soft spot on a melon at work, I give my work mates a side eye with a smirk before performing fist no jutsu on the damn thing. Just me? Just me…
Only this man can say he’s torn a watermelon in half with his bare hands
you're telling me this melon took almoat a year to start even visibly look too awful to eat? man, that's weird and amazing
@@vedantsridhar8378 because it was uncut
@@Damaiida3 oh yeah, I've cut into some NASTY melons that I thought were newer than they were
It definitely already looked wrong by day 100, with those pale spots
@@georgiykireev9678 but I mean usually any fruit would start molding within a few days, max a month if left like that. Its very suprising how the melon lasted over a year. Shows how tough the skin around it is against microorganisms
Fascinating from an evolutionary perspective. Melons and gourds are adapted like time capsules, protecting the seeds as well as the moisture and nutrients needed to get those seeds a strong start for so long, maximizing the plant's ability to procreate through adverse seasonal change.

So, I'm not crazy huh? I knew I wasn't tripping.
@@brandonlangley1009 A whole f**cking watermelon
When it gets past 500 days, it looks like a mountainous island surrounded by a sea reflecting the sunset! It’s really beautiful!
*the red sea*
With huge black boats and planes
that post about sunsets and flowers being two different kinds of beautiful & then there’s this guy 😂 beauty in the eye of the beholder at best
Day 1: yum yum
Day 150: stripes began to fade / slight color shift
Day 470: let's take a leak
Day 480: molding begins
Day 500: *OMGOSH LOOK!!!*
Day 520: 🤮🤮🤮
Day 600: death valley
Honestly, huge props to you on this. I worked in produce while in college, and let me tell you, there aren’t many things nastier than a rotting watermelon.
a rotting human
Besides rotten potatoes
@@RedF0XDelta yum vodka
Rotten onions are vile
To all whom say anything other than rotting white pumpkins, you are wrong, and I’m glad you haven’t had to pick up those devils.
When can we get a video about human decomposing?
Ask a cop about the corpse garden
That would be heart breaking to watch though
props to the cameraman, continued filming for 600 days as a ghost after dying of starvation 👏🎬
If there isn’t one already, I’d love to see a video showing where you do these timelapses / what your setup is like? Genuinely curious as to how and where you keep a camera on a watermelon, for almost a full 2 years lol!
It's a black box not camera , a camera can't possibly be on for that long
1 picture every hour or so
@@yinggamer7762 man whos gonna take a picture evry hour for 2 whole years , it's a black box don't argur it's even obvious when he took it out
@@achillxs7458 More than likely he has the camera set up on a tripod and has it set to take a photo every hour and then just changes the battery when it dies, you can get some time lapse cameras pretty cheap.
That’s neat. We had these decorative mini pumpkins on Halloween, my son insisted on keeping one in his room. It didn’t start getting a little soft until the end of March. Much more resilient than I thought.
I love to keep mini ones and let them dry out. In my experience they dessicate more often than molding and melting!
They are watermelons🍉, not mini pumpkins. 🎃
@@spirituser7354 i think they know that.
@@spirituser7354 since you want to be smart, cucurbits aka gourd family are a family of flowering plants with include many different plants from watermelons to cucumbers to squashes and pumpkins
@@paracame8162 pumpkins are related to watermelons?! I never knew that. They're basically bros, that's cool 😎
That's so weird and fascinating how the liquid dried up into what almost looks like paper from the bottom side of it.
Pretty sure the white stuff was paint that he painted on the inside of the plastic box to make a white background
It's white spray paint
Yeah no, not what happened
@@OmenaOmega It's probably painted for that and so that the bin is more reusable and easier to wash
@@AllyTheProto why would paint be easier to wash off than melon? It would be the opposite. It’s just a white background.
The guy who invented kale chips
This was both the coolest and most disgusting thing I’ve ever witnessed, I love it!
Minced meat was the worst imo
I don't know how much I can respect a guy who simply records stuff rotting away for YEARS. That stuff requires EXTREME dedication, and I just can't respect this guy enough. They deserve all of my respect, which probably might not even feel like enough.
Yeah it's suprising he didn't even need to the toilet or eat any food. Dude's got some serious dedication
The amount of dedication required for something like this is truly astonishing, and the end result was beautiful.
how was it beautiful lmao thats so disgusting
@@Ecco502 Because it is a great demonstration of time. The rotten watermelon isn't beautiful. But the process, which is happening due to the time moving forward, is remarkable.
@@ungessackhaar eh i dont think so but ok
@@Ecco502 It's fine, you can be wrong if you like.
@@TheLateLordKardok im not wrong its my opinion, that shit looks so disgusting there is nothing beautiful
Why do maggots and bugs just.. randomly spawn????? Like how tf did u get in here,who birthed you
I think only you have this much patience an courage to shot such time lapses...😆
no one else on RUclips..!!
Subscriber count is not justifying these efforts.. Hoping to explode this video to take subscribers beyond 1 Million as fast as it can.
All the best brother ✌️
Hahah thank you bro!! I hope you are right and this video will blow up. We'll see :):)
Share these videos!! It helps for sure
@@crystalhazelton5451 Thank you! Yes it really helps a lot
@@crystalhazelton5451 I don't think it helps anything but I'm sure is it's interesting
@@barxmorOnYT it helps with his channel growth
Crazy how he was able to hold the camera still for so long without his arms getting sore
😂😂😂
And keep still and lifted up for so long.
And withstand the smell
This gotta be your most viewed video in a couple of months or so and I'm glad I watched it just minutes after its upload 😄
I hope you are right, that would be really cool :) And I'm glad you were here so early
Same lol
Maybe we could do a Time Lapse video of it gaining views, likes and comments.
I tried to do the same but i ate it on the second day
