@@kaif4572 no. Your digestive juices probably killed the bugs on impact. People eat bugs without knowing all the time. Animals eat bugs, birds. Everybody. I asure you don't need to be scared, it's just the circle of life
I like how at first, the apple looked gross in even its earliest stages of molding and decomposition, but when the Timelapse is reversed, it suddenly doesn’t look all that terrible until the end
These flies made their home on an edible island for generations and generations. The youngest flies, left with the dystopian drying isand and diminishing water supply, would hear tales of the good old days, when a young fly coulple could raise a family of 175, and there was plenty of work for everyone.
Try this again, but instead sealed off with an air lock (a bubble type air lock, to allow gasses to escape but nothing to enter) and with 2% salt by total weight (water plus fruit equals total weight). This would prevent any molds or bacteria from growing, but would allow yeasts to grow, and the end result would be edible. This is the typical setup for fermentation, and a time lapse would be a lot of fun! You would see a lot of bubbly action as well as enzymes devouring the fruit and color changes.
@@silvergust He's right. OP needs to stfu. Not even a well done or thanks for your effort. Instead he's out here trying to instruct the uploader what to do. Seriously? Gtfo
As hist deek said, I too would liked to have seen what the results would have been if the apple stayed fully submerged and the tank continuously refilled. It was looking rather interesting what was happening until it hit air. I'm curious to the decay process without air, bugs, and mold being able to get to it.
Fun Fact: Apples are often cleaned then dipped into an edible wax to coat the skin, this preserves the apple for longer and makes it less attractive to insects. It's probably why the bugs went in the bottom and left the skin largely undisturbed for the majority of the time
Interesting, I have a question why did it turn around. The stalk faced upwards but then the apple stalk turned down, is it because of the water potential?
Oh shit I've been eating wax?? I never peel my apples/pears, of course I wash them but with cold water, and wax comes off with warm water.

I have calculated it. The maximum life expectancy of a fly is 28 days. Equating it with a maximum human life expectancy of 120, 200 human days would be 850 fly years. To put into perspective, 850 years ago, even chaucer had not penned his canterbury tales. Damn, this apple is like an ancient shrine to these flies.

Very curious to see how this experiment would have turned out without having all the fly breeding interventions. A large portion of the final outcome is due to the flies and not the water
Exactly i think it should have been sealed, no interaction with air or oxygen, but again water has oxygen in it, so not sure how that have turned out as well
The apple was also super soft so baby or old people can enjoy it without choking just make sure that they have it in moderate amount because too much can make them a bit funky.
you do know this is like stop-motion films.. the camera is the only thing that sits there taking the pics, one every x minute/hours you specify. although im sure there's a limit to how many and someone would eventually have to restart the program.
@@MrTwisted003 You know I think you may be wrong. I think this is a highly ambitious fellow who lets his wife know “Honey I’m doing another 200 day experiment” and then sets up a toilet and everything and his wife brings him food as needed.
Real question isn't how you had the patience to watch an apple for 200 days, but how you managed to stand the consequences of the fruit fly breeding ground in your house, that's true commitment. c': It must have been a nightmare.
@@theycallmecomical8318 in this situation, yes. their lives are based on activity and body temperature. In the situation presented, they are all extremely close together which would minimize their lives via temperature, and are incrediblt active due to the apple. These flies would live about 15 days
@@michaeltratter3778 They come from the fruit itself. This is a kind of flies that leave their offspring on growing fruits and remain on them all the time. Therefore, in fact, a person consumes them along with the fruit. And if there is something left that has not been eaten, then they simply begin to appear from it. So in fact they will appear even in a closed box. This is normal for fruits so don't worry, wash them harder if you care.
@@crowtriestoanimate3334 No need to worry, the acidity of the gastric juice destroys everything that gets into it, so it's not dangerous. But this is to the question of how thoroughly you need to wash the fruit.
I think it's beneficial for us to see what happens to food or loving things when they compose. It gives us more information about the world around us. We otherwise would've never been able to see it if it weren't for him.
I've heard in some places that people use cameras that capture a photo once every hour rather than recording a continuous video… makes it easier to handle it This includes the lighting as well - keep it switched off and switch it on only when required
It would just preserve abit longer I reckon, 200 days for that in water compared to 3/4 weeks on the Field, I reckon it would near just preserve other then white mould around it if it was sealed,Im curious I wanna see too!
@@LouisChiakiea since it’s tightly sealed, bacteria in the water would ferment the apple and turn it into wine - not exactly wine but a high alcohol content
@@riderxzx are you talking about watching dead bodies rot in water, aka maceration? I already do this with taxidermy and yes. It very much looks like the apple . Get some psychiatric help
As a human, I think gross, but as a fly, how beautiful it is to have such a long lasting source of nutrients, and mates, and children, a social hub for my short life. I would be lucky to find this and live in bliss for a short time.
The juxtaposition of a disgusting sight with such stylishly chill music is great. I also like that the video ended on a happy when you showed the Apple in its pre-rot stage. Almost reminds me of the end credits of 1980’s horror movies like Predator where you see all the characters (even the ones who got killed) again in happier moments as the music plays.
I kind of like the fact that after a period of time even the flies and maggots leave the apple because it's too rotten. Normally one would consider any food being eaten and used as a breeding ground by insects the last stadium in it's existence bc noone ever keeps and observes anything longer than that (except for this guy. Thank you for educating us!)
Fruit flies. The fruit flies only eat the squishy parts. Usually, after they finish, other detritivores would eat the rest. Such as isopods, springtails, and mites.
i like how the tank slowly starts to just have less water over time because the water is evaporating its very cool to see how much can evaporate over less than a day it makes you think how much just evaporates over the entire sea or world of water and how much rains overall very good and i like it :D
@@Zenisurdad the water has bacteria, and as you saw fungi started to develop on the apple. That may be what's absorbing the water. But yeah idk either just a guess
Back where I'm from, I'd eat this type of stuff all the time! I made this for my friend once and they were so amazed they were lying on the floor speechless with their eyes closed. Never saw them again after that day, I think they went to go around the world making this wonderful dish for everyone!
It won't do anything in 200 days. Erosion comes from either abrasion from sand in the water or the water slowly dissolving the rock. Dripping water on any old rock won't do either of those things and it takes millions of years to do stuff even in those conditions
I love how the bugs form their own little ecosystem based around this one fruit. They had an entire colony from this one little apple and then left when they thought it was time. It is so cool and beautiful to see stuff like this
@@modz7014 Crazy how many people buy into such a garbage lie. Get out of your metropolitan area and travel the world a little and you will see the Earth is very much alive with plenty of room still on it.
So, for those who don't know. 'Where did the fruit flies come from?' - They were already there. Fruit flies lay their eggs deep, so any fruit you get from the grocery store already has fruit fly eggs in it. Strawberries, blueberries, apples, etc, all have eggs. Now, if you want your fruit to last longer - you spray it down / soak it in vinegar then rinse it off. You'll get 2-3 times the normal shelf life you'd normally get. Which makes me wonder -- apple left in vinegar time lapse. What would it look like over time? I'm curious now...
@@EmF95573 They might, but the eggs and such in the fruit already get killed by the acid when you wash it. I'm very curious to see the effects though of keeping it immersed.
The result was heavily influenced by outside forces. It would have been interesting if was continuelly refilled and submerged withour any flies getting into the apple
The problem is that the water will eventually always float. Also water will always cause this to occur as it introduces moisture as it sits it warms giving perfect conditions for the flies also once the fruit softens the flies will get inside and eat it from the inside out.
@@doveamor Not in fresh fruit it is impossible for them to break the skin. They only are able to get into fruit when its softens or there was a break in the skin. They were not already inside as from purchase. You notice if you open a banana for example. Nothing there right away give it 2 minutes left out then you may see the flies flying around it. Not because they where inside it but because flies and fruit flies are so common that they just are able to go towards the smell. To quote "some vegetables, particularly old potatoes and onions, foster fruit flies". Fortunately, if your fruit isn’t overripe or rotting, the fruit fly larvae and their proud parents haven’t yet burrowed their way deep inside your apples or pears, explains Dr. Gregory Courtney, an entomologist at Iowa State University. They’re just hanging out around the surface of your produce, waiting for the juices inside to start fermenting". End quote its the fermentation that allows them to. Because if you wash your fruits which most people do or we humans put pesticides on them as to why we wash them at home nothing gets in or is on them.
Fun fact: if the water was continually cycled and cooled to a near freezing temperature, bacterias would not be able to form and the apple would most likely be fine. It'd be cool and genuinely interesting to see you re-do this test but with what I said above, it would be a lot of work though. Great job with this experiment none the less man I'll subscribe.
@@super56333 Well actually if you weren't so small minded, you would realise that submerging an apple In cold water for almost a year is a lot different than putting it in the refrigerator for a year. Why you gotta be so negative for?
I actually love watching things decay especially when we can see how one fly turns into multiple generations of family members living and dying on that same apple after. It's just so cool.
Really? It's quite the opposite for me.. Watching things decay remind me of how human bodies decay after they're dead.. I imagine my parents or grandparents growing older and..you get me.. it just makes me sad :(

@@theycallmecomical8318 in this situation, yes. their lives are based on activity and body temperature. In the situation presented, they are all extremely close together which would minimize their lives via temperature, and are incrediblt active due to the apple. These flies would live about 15 days

I always love how fruit flies instantaneously spawn out of thin air
I never even thought about where they are coming from .. but you're right! WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM???
Same with maggots
@@michaeltratter3778 They come from the fruit itself. This is a kind of flies that leave their offspring on growing fruits and remain on them all the time. Therefore, in fact, a person consumes them along with the fruit. And if there is something left that has not been eaten, then they simply begin to appear from it. So in fact they will appear even in a closed box. This is normal for fruits so don't worry, wash them harder if you care.
@@ViktorAl-o9z I wish to unread this
@@crowtriestoanimate3334 No need to worry, the acidity of the gastric juice destroys everything that gets into it, so it's not dangerous. But this is to the question of how thoroughly you need to wash the fruit.
the calm music while the apple is being eaten alive made me giggle
I personally could’ve went my whole life without watching this. Although, while watching I couldn’t bring myself to turn away. So I’d say, well done.
I think it's beneficial for us to see what happens to food or loving things when they compose. It gives us more information about the world around us. We otherwise would've never been able to see it if it weren't for him.
Well, our bodies decompose similarly, so….
For new viewers: This process is called _fermentation_ and it really brings out the depth of flavour in the apple.
HUH
Kimchi apple? 😂✌️
Maggots on the otherhand, not so much.
Perfect to make hard cider
Brings what flavour?🤣
Can we appreciate how this man put a camera in timelapse mode for almost a year?

“honey, why are you leaving an apple to rot inside of a tank of water?!”
The fact that the apple rotted in a couple of seconds and went back to being healthy is amazing.
That's why you should always stay hydrated, then you can be as strong as the apple.
Also amazing how the apple brought back all the water once it decided to become healthy.
Be like apple.

Infinite food glitch

now I'm curious how this experiment would go if the container was tightly sealed
It would just preserve abit longer I reckon, 200 days for that in water compared to 3/4 weeks on the Field, I reckon it would near just preserve other then white mould around it if it was sealed,Im curious I wanna see too!
Wine 🍷
Become apple wine?
@@LouisChiakiea since it’s tightly sealed, bacteria in the water would ferment the apple and turn it into wine - not exactly wine but a high alcohol content
@DaddyDark13 can we purify the water and make sure no bacteria, or bio sources on it, and do this experiment with fully sealed
i want to do this exact experiment, with two modifications. 1. regular refills. 2. cloth on top to keep bugs out but allow for airflow

"What if you left an apple in water for 200 days?"
- The water evaporates.
Photo Owl, 2021.
You say evaporates. I say thirsty apple.
How about if you leave apple in water without the existing of flies? Bet he didn't think of that. Literally every video lmao
This apple will definitely keep the doctor away
The juxtaposition of a disgusting sight with such stylishly chill music is great. I also like that the video ended on a happy when you showed the Apple in its pre-rot stage. Almost reminds me of the end credits of 1980’s horror movies like Predator where you see all the characters (even the ones who got killed) again in happier moments as the music plays.
I laughed at the 0:47 mark
hm
I kind of like the fact that after a period of time even the flies and maggots leave the apple because it's too rotten. Normally one would consider any food being eaten and used as a breeding ground by insects the last stadium in it's existence bc noone ever keeps and observes anything longer than that (except for this guy. Thank you for educating us!)
They left it because it's not organic, this apple was toxic 👏
@@orion9k then why would they eat the rest of it? That makes no sense if they’d stop because it was “toxic”
I think the apple ran out of the mushy part and nutrients or healthy shit idk so the flies dont want it now
Those arent maggots
Fruit flies. The fruit flies only eat the squishy parts. Usually, after they finish, other detritivores would eat the rest. Such as isopods, springtails, and mites.
i like how the tank slowly starts to just have less water over time because the water is evaporating its very cool to see how much can evaporate over less than a day it makes you think how much just evaporates over the entire sea or world of water and how much rains overall very good and i like it :D
yea and i think the apple obsorbed some of the water and the flys and maggots drinking it but idk
Pretty cool
@@Zenisurdad the water has bacteria, and as you saw fungi started to develop on the apple. That may be what's absorbing the water. But yeah idk either just a guess
The apple is consuming the water as a plant wen it is watered
this is such a wholesome and cute comment
You should have done separate ones with regular tap water, mineral water, and purified water ECT. That would be interesting i think
There ain't no way you don't have five generations of fruit flies living in your house now.
This turned out amazing! I want more recipes like this!

I want to see a drop of water eroding a rock over the course of 200 days, I think that would be interesting
200 years please
It won't do anything in 200 days. Erosion comes from either abrasion from sand in the water or the water slowly dissolving the rock. Dripping water on any old rock won't do either of those things and it takes millions of years to do stuff even in those conditions
@@neyfun that would do the opposite of erosion

@@modz7014 Crazy how many people buy into such a garbage lie. Get out of your metropolitan area and travel the world a little and you will see the Earth is very much alive with plenty of room still on it.
So, for those who don't know. 'Where did the fruit flies come from?' - They were already there. Fruit flies lay their eggs deep, so any fruit you get from the grocery store already has fruit fly eggs in it. Strawberries, blueberries, apples, etc, all have eggs. Now, if you want your fruit to last longer - you spray it down / soak it in vinegar then rinse it off. You'll get 2-3 times the normal shelf life you'd normally get.
Which makes me wonder -- apple left in vinegar time lapse. What would it look like over time? I'm curious now...
Fruit flies love the smell of vinegar, so you’ll definitely get fruit flies if you leave anything in vinegar.
@@EmF95573 They might, but the eggs and such in the fruit already get killed by the acid when you wash it. I'm very curious to see the effects though of keeping it immersed.

@@ChristopherLaHaise pickled apple would be the result

You should have kept refilling it so the apple was not exposed directly to the air. That would have been more interesting to see

@@GoofyRoblox_OFFICIAL the fire emoji grabbed my attention hehe
@@PhotoOwl How to get replied by famous youtubers:
Step 1)🔥
The result was heavily influenced by outside forces. It would have been interesting if was continuelly refilled and submerged withour any flies getting into the apple
Yes, as an experiment it failed miserably, to many variables. Flys, air, temperature, water of unknown source and or composition.
The problem is that the water will eventually always float. Also water will always cause this to occur as it introduces moisture as it sits it warms giving perfect conditions for the flies also once the fruit softens the flies will get inside and eat it from the inside out.
@@dracophoenixttv
You cover and weigh it down with hardware cloth or a pot steamer insert. Water could / should be pure distilled with a tds of 0.
Y’all do realize that the fruit flies were already in the Apple right? Fruit flies lay their eggs in fruits -
@@doveamor Not in fresh fruit it is impossible for them to break the skin. They only are able to get into fruit when its softens or there was a break in the skin. They were not already inside as from purchase. You notice if you open a banana for example. Nothing there right away give it 2 minutes left out then you may see the flies flying around it. Not because they where inside it but because flies and fruit flies are so common that they just are able to go towards the smell. To quote "some vegetables, particularly old potatoes and onions, foster fruit flies". Fortunately, if your fruit isn’t overripe or rotting, the fruit fly larvae and their proud parents haven’t yet burrowed their way deep inside your apples or pears, explains Dr. Gregory Courtney, an entomologist at Iowa State University. They’re just hanging out around the surface of your produce, waiting for the juices inside to start fermenting". End quote its the fermentation that allows them to. Because if you wash your fruits which most people do or we humans put pesticides on them as to why we wash them at home nothing gets in or is on them.

Maggots and Mold: "Don't mind if I do~"
Fun fact: if the water was continually cycled and cooled to a near freezing temperature, bacterias would not be able to form and the apple would most likely be fine. It'd be cool and genuinely interesting to see you re-do this test but with what I said above, it would be a lot of work though. Great job with this experiment none the less man I'll subscribe.

the music:🎷✨🌿💐💕🎹🎼✨✨
The water was acting as a preserver. I wonder how much longer it would take for the apple to decompose if it were kept beneath the water level.
If there was 2% salt by weight, it would still be edible after 200 days! I want THAT video (lactofermentation)
I don’t know how this person is so underrated, what they do is amazing and takes so much patience and determination
I actually love watching things decay especially when we can see how one fly turns into multiple generations of family members living and dying on that same apple after. It's just so cool.
Great grandpa speaking to grandchild fly: “This apple has been our food source known as today!”
Really? It's quite the opposite for me.. Watching things decay remind me of how human bodies decay after they're dead.. I imagine my parents or grandparents growing older and..you get me.. it just makes me sad :(
