- In this collection of classic MinuteEarth videos, we examine the weird world of what we like to eat.
We originally created the videos in the “MinuteEarth Explains” series for another project. But we know that lots of people right now are looking for really good online educational content - and something to take their mind off current events - so we decided to release them here as well. We’d love to know what you think, so leave us a comment below!
These are the episodes featured in this compilation:
0:14 - Why Do We Eat Spoiled Foods?

Also you forgot about timestamp in this video
My name is Emily!
"And under no circumstance would I eat my own baby"
Woah, that was unexpected for an intro
I think the lady does protest too much... Just what exactly goes on at a minute earth job interviews!?
Ye, im also shocked that she wouldnt eat her own babies
hi
Welcome, friend.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache
Suspiciously specific IMO
Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.
Emily: Hi I'm Emily. And I wouldn't eat my own baby.
....
Interviewer: When can you start?
🤣🤣
haha
Start to eat her baby?
The bar has gotten pretty low for public office these days.

“Hunter-Gatherers often settled down for love of bread or beer”
Tribesman: “So why did you start farming? I did it to feed my family.”
Secretly Alcoholic Tribesman: “Uh yeah me too“
This deserves more likes :( it’s so sad how I made an unoriginal comment on a video about using suntan as makeup and got a bunch of likes in a short amount of time. While you make a funny,original comment on a very informative video and got very few likes in a YEAR. This makes me sad :( keep doing what you’re doing. :)
@@crystalmcwhirter5436 it is what it is
Lol
The amount of comments is 299 💀
299 / 13 = 23 💖
I love the writing on this one. It's different but highly entertaining.
Errrrrr
10 seconds in and we're already discussing cannibalism
Oh dear lord 😱 🤣
The stores are empty so not a surprise
Welcome to America.
haha
You are what you eat
Thanks for compiling old videos very timely. We need this to feed our curiosity outbreak.
Underrated comment
[No seriously, this made me chuckle XD]
My goodness! How is the stick figure managed to draw such a picturesque 3D human?
Ikr? A true mystery too this day
Lol
Ye ikr
You’re stupid for questioning that. Everyone knows how easy it is for stickmen to draw humans realistically, have you been living under a rock?
Ha ha grammer
About four to five months ago, I had one of my rabbits get pregnant accidentally (Too late separating the siblings, I take good care of my rabbits ad missed a day, they are both healthy and safe.) She gave birth, and ate them ALL, every single one. My aunt had to see my rabbit eating her babies because she didn't believe that the mom wouldn't eat her babies.

Why the curve face me
I got your long face, man. I could not accept this arrangement either. What a betrayal
@@epIanChen its just for now cause of covid-19 thats why they're compiling vids
Jared Solano ha i was just joking. They are great.
Hi
"order off the kid's menu" I usually don't comment on puns, but that one got a genuine snort out of me. (-:
20 years from now: Breaking news! Baby hamsters become a new snack food in the United States
I only talked to a few people whose childhood hamster ate its own babies. That must be so traumatizing to a kid, especially if they've already found an emotional bond with the babies
"Depends on whether or not you're a hamster."
*Sweats nervously*
Hey I have a cat fursona with dragon wings as arms!
“food is delicious”
I agree it’s my favourite type of food
Same
7:55 that demonic sound got me off-guard
I'M GOING TO EAT YOU👹
IM ACTUALLY ABOUT TO EAT YOU 7:57
Or 7:56
I am scared to touch it
I thought: woah! Kool down
"ordering off the kids menu.."
Lol!
Jared says hello
“...and plenty of other delicacies that *don’t* start with ‘k’”
Lol I laughed so hard lol
LoL
My "under no circumstance would I eat my own baby" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
Emily is such a great host. She has a great voice that keeps me focused with a pleasant inflection. I've seen some host from other channels speak with the kind of inflection that comes off like every sentence ends in a question mark. Also can't stand bad vocal fry, which she has none. She is also easy on the eyes(beautiful) and comes off very natural on her delivery
Nobody gonna talk about the male host. Oh because you love to get laid by her. I know it.
Simp
@@romella_karmey oof, jealous much?
SIMP
Most of the time she's a stick figure though
"a few months later, we have salami, rather than salmonelli"
that's a huge difference you have right there
Predator: Give me the eggs!
Mother: *eats own eggs*
Predator:
*surprised pikachu face*
this is literally my *lunch period*
where are you?
How disturbing enjoy lunch XD
ew
If u mean time zone, probably American Central Time
Where are your kids
Don't disrespect my favorite food: salmoneli
Lamo
Good one dude. Hi five 🤚
XD
Minute earth- *talks about "birds eye"*
Me- *checks freezer*
Love the sheep and bird in leopard skins. Just great.
That cracked me up!
"Humans build the nuclear bomb, but mice would never build a mouse trap." 🤷♂️
"Mice eat their own little mice, but humans would never eat their own babies." 🤷♂️
Every species has their self-destructive behaviors.
Only that we just found out that the species who do gobble on their babies do NOT do it as a self-destructive habit.
Mice would totally build mouse traps if they had the brains for it. Humans would probably eat our babies if we were extreme r strategists (instead of extreme k strategists, which makes us invest great amounts of parental care).
Neither of those are "self-destructive".
Nukes are always for "killing the other guys"; not suicide, and (as pointed out in the vid) the fact that offspring eating (Filial Cannibalism) has survived in the populations implies there is a beneficial reason for it.
@@ccgarciab hM
@@ccgarciab So you're basically saying that humans and mice would act differently if they weren't like humans and mice? :D
The transition at 5:29 was so cool! 😮
About freezeing food. Lalplanders used to store slaurgered raindeer on top of the roof. Birds eat the suet so the meat was lean when you took a part of it inside and using knife carved slices of it onto the pan. Even today in Finland raindeer is mostly eaten as thinly carved slices pan fried with smashed potatoes and lingonberries.
3:11 Our ancestors settled down either for Bread or beer, whatever the case one thing is clear..... Nice rhyme
the more I learn about (bio)chemistry of food, the harder it is to believe that we figured all of this stuff out on our own, and most of it even before we knew such things as biology or chemistry even exist...
At 2:27 I laughed so hard because there was a microbe eating a toe lol 😂🤣🤣😂
1:20 "... after a few months we ge5 salamy and not SALMONELLY" xD
Emily's voice is so relaxing and comforting ❤️
Pretty much all food was discovered by accident when humans tried throwing stuff together to see what tasted good
This is a very stupid perception of humanity. They were no more "banging things together" then than we are today. There was never a time when humans didn't have an established way of doing things or a time when they were fully aware of the gap in their understanding.
@@spiritbond8 and before that there were humanoids, and before that there were apes and ....
they all knew what they wanted to eat, no problem.
@@spiritbond8 what you say was is like to say they knew how to make fire before they discovered it why you cant believe that humans werent aways as smart as they are now before science most discoveris happened on random fire,cooking
@@КрасимирНиков-п9к
Fire ain't food, though.
Food is as universal in the animal kingdom as reproduction.
Fire, less so.

Don't forget Overly Sarcastic Productions and Extra Credits!
How has 3blue1brown not been mentioned?
I really loved this one, very informative, and wonderfully entertaining. And who would have thought that two tiny lines could change a hamster from adorable to threatening!
MinuteEarth: mentions cheese
Wallace: Look Gromit, cheese!
Avery the Cuban-American Cheeesee
I’ve learned a lot from this channel but unintentionally because I mostly watch these videos for entertainment 😂
i love this format keep it going
i like those compliations. keept it on, great job! :)
3:26 Right after this I got a Burger King ad, WTF LOL.
You lucky , I get anime girls
“Salmonelli” I’m dying😂
I am surprised we got another video so soon. I thought this new Emily would take longer to animate.
(She still didn't wave when she said "Hi, I'm Emily.")
i watched this channel all the time as a kid. seeing it again, it makes me feel at home
2:51
MinuteEarth: "If we didn't let food spoil just a little bit, we would have no sauerkraut, "
Everyone: I wish we didn't spoil our food, because MARMITE would never ever exist in the first place
Aussies: *OFFENDED*
Muhammad Al - Idrissi, Issac Butterfield likes Marmite more than Vegemite after Vegemite decided to make their food vegan entirely, so he buys Marmite for now on.
Bro im portuguese and i loooooveee Marmite with honey
5:17 How is that smart marketing?! I would never buy a food with a baby that makes Annabelle look safe.
@5:47 They forgot Mexico in the 'North Americas'..
3:35 That fish don't look like it's having a good day
Thank you, nice germs, for making my food taste good.
Until they switch to the bad guys
Me: "hey mom what's for dinner today?"
Mom: "you"
Me: "WHAT?!?!"
Thanks for entertaining knowledge ☺☺☺❤❤❤❤
This is kinda like a compilation of Minute Earth Videos... I like it!
Minute earth I love your vids please make more this is such a fun way to learn
I once had a Hamster that we bought already pregnant (a female that was with the males due to misgendering. So we thought its a male hamster until she had her babies) and we were worried she will eat her young, but she made a nest in a hollow decorative item and slept in her cage (we then had to peave the door open all the time for her to provide for her small ones) and all 8 babies grew up well and healthy.
After that explanation i guess she felt save and well fed in our care and felt confident all the babies will make it. Also we fed her hamster food that has insects (protein) in it, so her nutrition was in balance.
No one cares about my hamster comment anyways so i add for fun, that until we bought that food she somehow managed ro raise her own little maggot farm behind the furniture to eat them. We asked why and were told she needs protein.
This hamster was only half a handful but a full handfull to take care for, but her live in relative freedom (the entire living room was her playground) made her so charming and trusting and even responsive to her name. I miss that furball.
I am just glad there was one light in a sea of hamsters eating their young
Thank you so much guys!
4:44 Actually, I think that looks pretty interesting.
*Rudolf with his nose so bright will now be on your plate tonight*
Lol I can see the baby hamsters being trouble makers and the mom would be just
“DO YOU WANNA END UP LIKE YOUR BROTHER BILLY???”
I love these new videos ♥️❤️
I really love your videos
4:45 -- Thanks for the random bird brains, MinuteEarth.
1. Food is food.
2. That's it, you're not allowed to dislike food.

Lots of other animals do eat your own baby?
she's my favorite elemenary school teacher. those are the type of videos we can show to our kids
8:46 Imagine being the extra hamster babies chosen to be sent to their inevitable demise.
@@wynturbailey9497 Agh, if she did choose you, you probably are too weak to run away.
Me hearing humans eat spoiled food: nah i wouldnt eat spoiled
food
Me after watching the first 1:53 minute video : do i really eat spoiled food?
oh my god the puns! Never stop please 🤓
Love your videos
4:26 this still happens with modern freezers. Some foods do leak liquids when frozen and later thawed. But maybe this is because kitchen freezers are set at -18 °C by default, not -40 °C like, which is what industrial freezers for frozen food use according to the video.
"And sometimes, kids, you know get in the way, so they just have to go"
It justifies me yeeting my sister out of my bedroom when my bf's over 😅😂
love your work stay safe out there
I really like this style of video
Edutainment at its finest :3
“And considering what’s at *steak* that makes sense” you guys made a pun without even trying lol
Loved the video content and presentation by Emily.
7:56 this part got me laughing so much
Ya
3:39 is that a cracked ice cream cube?

T h e k I d s m e n u
I love your videos😜
4:53

*9:34* ,dude this fish has done the deed with another type of fish and a mermaid haha
When is the next video in this series? It's great!
4:13 I like how they say "by default"
Need to start calling you 10 minute earth
Hey emily from minute earth...😂😂Great creation
doctor: “you have 10 minutes and 17 seconds left to live”
me:
You would die before watching all of it
I would have fathered a fucking playlist than the interruptions that treat me like a 5 year old
Speaking of reindeer. I was pretty much adult when I found out reindeer were real and not just part of Santa's story.. hah.
I love minute earth even though they’re short too short
"years later we get salami! not salmalenni"
haha
I'm just saying is that
_Cannibalism can solve both World Hunger and Overpopulation_
And that's why it is illegal
Technically the truth
Fund by DNP CCP, illuminati.......
Jonathan Swift said it first in "A Modest Proposal". Great minds, and all that, huh?
Yess they are posting every week 2 vids
2:26 AYO WHAT'S THAT BACTERIA DOING WITH THAT TOE
Eating?
This new format is very PBS-ish. I feel like I'm five, watching an education kid show.
And that’s a bad thing? I would love to be a kid again
5:53 are those... winter form Sawsbucks?
Yes😂
The cure for a sad moment, "Hi, I'm emily and under no circumstances would I eat my own baby.'
