but there IS something of value- dirt!! all dirt is just poop and dead things. the pepper actually became more valuable over time if you look at this this way
I really love this because you can see how the color change differs from other fruits. Instead of going brown, the pigments go through its natural cycle of “ripening” since it was a green pepper. This process fascinates me, the way humans noticed this property and decided to selectively breed it to make the colors edible and discovered there could be different flavors or even spice levels, which then lead to curiosity about why things are spicy and the Scoville scale.
@@darthcloakedguy9726 I mean, isn't what he's doing exactly like the natural process? It doesn't rain all the time, if left in the soil the pepper would expand when it rains and contract when it does not.
Because it essentially is. During combustion, the food rapidly oxidises and forms various carbon products. During normal decay, the food slowly oxidises aswell, over a massive period of time, until the oxidation and decay finally consumes the organic matter.
that stem reminds me of a withstanding structure of a long lost civilization that can only give a glimpse to what once was. like a skyscraper thats still intact in a field of moss and forest
A cut down version of this without the rotting would be the perfect proof to convince people that red bell peppers are not spicier than green bell peppers. We used Tri Color Peppers at a restaurant I worked at and some people just couldn't understand that they were all the same lol.
Yellow peppers are slightly different from the red ones, they won't turn red at some point. The red ones go directly from green to red usually. Green is always unripe.
They are actually different species, but all share a very close ancestor. It's like how Brocolli, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts and Cole are all the different specied but share a very close ancestor
…and that’s the way it goes! I love your stuff. The time & patience you put into your channel is much appreciated. I don’t know why, but watching it is almost zen-like. Very peaceful. 😊❤
Wow, I loved this one, it went through a lot XD it was so interesting seeing it turn into a red pepper??? Adding water was crazy, it showed how dehydrated food preserves, as it was not being eaten or decomposed by anything until it was moist again, so cool
i think this video would be a wonderful thing to show in a science class, it really makes it easy to understand how a large fraction of soil is made of decayed biological matter.

Rehydrating it so it keeps rotting is really smart
I was annoyed he did that. I wanted to know what would happen if he left it as is
It would stay desiccated until rehydrated or thrown out, where it would naturally get rehydrated.
I think next time he should set up an autodripper so there's less expanding and contracting going on. Kind of distracts from the natural process.
yeah i was wondering why he was putting water in it
