🍎 Apple in water for 365 days 

1st UPDATE: The last version of this video received 400K likes. If this one gets 450K likes, I'll begin a 5-year time lapse of an apple in water. Let's make this happen! It would be longer than the "Whole watermelon" one :D 2nd UPDATE: A lot of you asked for microscope video of the apple. It's already up on my channel! Read the following if you don't know what this video is about, and you need some context: Following the feedback on my last apple-in-water time lapse, (Title: What if you left an apple in water for 202 days?- 16M views, 400k likes, 17K comments) from nearly 2 years ago, many of you wanted the apple to be submerged for the entire experiment. In that video, the stubborn apple resurfaced after a 38 days. I didn't want to interfere with the time lapse, so I continued filming it like that. I pinned a comment under it to gauge interest in a new experiment, and the response was amazing! With 76,000 likes on that comment, it was clear that you wanted to see this happen. Thanks to your input, I've now kept the apple underwater for a full year using a gooseneck from a pop filter. Even with this setup the apple wanted to escape once, but I put it back into the water. :) Enjoy my new attempt at the apple-in-water time lapse, and I appreciate your continued support! If you shared this video with someone that would be a huge boost, thank you!

If water did that to an apple, imagine what it’s doing to your insides. We clearly need to stop drinking water.

The dedication of recording a 4k time lapse for a YEAR to make a 7 minute video is insane

an apple for 365 days will scare the doctor away

So it becomes a potato

Finally, someone who washes their apples properly.

To think I had lost half my friends, got my heart broken, re-met some of my closest friends I haven’t seen in years, cried over nothing, and this apple was just… underwater

1. What was the temperature of the water? Were there any fluctuations throughout the year? 2. Which water did you use? Was it tap or bottled or any other kind. 3. Did you wash and dry the apple? Or did you use it right from purchase.

Thank you so much! I finally know how our schools prepare their “pears”.

So for anyone wondering, the two layers on the top are the pectin from apple (to really oversimplify it, it's a sugar acid that lines the walls of terrestrial fruits and this is what becomes the jam part of fruit jam) and the layer on top of it is a thick colony of algae, which are just tiny cells that form these green colonies, basically. If you have a freshwater aquarium you have to clean them out, like, all the time. This is also the reason why it didn't smell bad or rotten, nothing here was rotting - the algae were probably feeding off pectin and with a film THAT thick, no air and no bacteria were making it to pectin, so the only smell you get is the smell of algae, and they smell of, well, pond.

Interesting fact: The gelatinous substance that raised to the top of the water is called pectin. Traditionally, apple peels were added to fruit jams, marmalade and compotes during the cooking to make them thicker and give them a jelly consistency.

The seed part is so satisfying

This is how kombucha was invented

Finally someone who captured the essence of apple products.

Imagine you're waiting 1 year for this, this would take top tier dedication and patience.

Respect to this man for waiting a year to upload this

Wow, dedication here. Couldn’t resist watching.

I wonder if bro just has a warehouse full of rotting things in front of cameras, and each day he just checks them all 🗿

I followed your applesauce recipe and it turned out delicious! My kids and I love it! Thank you so much for sharing!

The apple at the end is every time I think I buy a crisp apple from Wal-Mart.

This is fascinating! I am interested in the other variables in this experiment. For example, was this tap water, purified water, spring water, distilled water, and what about the lighting or the temperature of the water, etc.? Thanks!

As the days keep increasing, all I could think about was the life he was living behind the camera , the number of good news, bad news and everything in between he had to deal with and then come back to squeeze a rotten apple 🍎

thanks for dissecting it for us

Interesting that the water actually kept a part of the apple from completely decaying. Or at least slowed it down significantly. Would love to see the 5 year time lapse.

its amazing how one apple can create a whole ecosystem of mold

Thank you for putting so much effort into this it’s truly heartwarming and my favorite part was when it laid down, the animation was so smooth and I love it please make more videos of this it’s very very and I mean very cool and smart you ate preppy🦋💙💚❤️🖤👸😍💄😘🌈 (joke)

Oh man, this is going to be good! I can't wait for days 58 thru 68, especially; I've always heard those were the most interesting!

Its amazing how many significant moments theres been in life this year all while this apple was just floating in water..

좋은 아이디어 도전받고 갑니다 홧팅!! ^^

apples from shinigami world be like:-

2:25 Apple survived more than the Camera.

Props to the cameraman who stood there the whole year EDIT: I KNOW ITS A JOKE AND ITS CORNY PLEASE STOP BULLYING ME...oh and thanks for the likes :)

the seeds just act like pimples now

I respect your dedication ❤

I'm amazed it still retained its shape. The last few days of it just hanging in the water surrounded by murk were haunting in a way

I didn't expect it to be so much less rotten. Judging by the gunk on top, the sugars probably fermented into vinegar and that slowed down further rot. That, plus the gunk preventing oxygen from reaching the apple. Now I really want to see an apple in CO2 or pure nitrogen. Or at least an airtight container.

This can go hard on an album cover.

oddly beautiful imo, that such an ordinary thing contains such a diverse variety of life and materials

Shout out to the cameraman for holding the camera steady for literally a year..Geez freaking amazing person.

Be interesting to see if you can actually preserve it by using a vacuum chamber to suck out the air first

New recipe unlocked 😂😂😂an apple 365 day keeps biochemicis in deep ocean of knowledge 😅

It’s like it is turning color as the days go by.

let's all just appreciate the fact he went through an ENTIRE CAMERA to deliver this to us. outstanding.

I may be a little late to this but this is really cool! The reason that the apple is so soft and falls apart is not because of the water but because the bacteria that is present everywhere no matter what, was able to multiply by eating away at the cellulose and cellulose is just block chains of glucose. Which is why NileRed does the stuff he does.

Wow! Didn't expect it to explode in the end. Hope he's ok. I can write that off my bucket list.

You had better washed that spoon at the end really good 😭

Incredible, this Apple survived the harsh waters for a whole year. And then there is me who almost drowned in the rain

I am SO interested in seeing what some of these things look like under a microscope after the whole process. I'm sure the water is absolutely teeming with microbes, and I wonder what the sludge on the surface is mostly composed of (a bacterial mat, possibly?). I bet the cellular structure of the apple would also be visibly broken down. If you see this comment, I'd love if you took the microscope idea into consideration!

If an apple a day scares the doctor away then I cant imagine the terror he faces of a 365 days apple!

Buen experimento, tome su like buen hombre 👌🏻 se ganó un nuevo suscriptor 👊🏻 😎

I don’t know if I ever will eat a apple again after watching this

Damn we need more creators who listen to us like this

that second to last minute was so nerve racking, feared at any moment you’d produce a fork and dig in

So interesting!!! The apple looked like candy in the end, you know pickled!!!

It would be cool to examine some of that water and moss under the microscope after the 365 days to see what kind of stuff was growing there.

The fact that it near instantly withered after being left out of the water is insane! Pretty cool!

Give that person an award for the longest time of cleaning an apple

this was so poetic for some reason

why did i feel emotional seeing the apple turn old it's just like watching a person turn old :(

This apple has done more in a year than I have done in a lifetime.

I thought for certain it was going to sprout and you'd be planting a beautiful apple tree. 😊

Ngl, squishy apple be looking kinda good

This was beautiful, sad, soothing, eerie, and disgusting all at the same time. 10/10

It doesn't matter if you lost 10 days, it's still a fascinating video to watch

This is how they prepare those apple slices in high school cafeterias. So glad I'm out of there and in college debt!

Never thought i’d see an apple get waterboarded until today

Shoutout to the cameraman standing there and sacrifising a year of his life without eating or drinking and looking at food. That is commitment

Finally, the best apple sauce recipe. It’s worth it despite how long it takes! Recommend ❤❤❤❤

I dont know why but i fell a bit emotional to the apple after the 365 days, looking at it especially with the melody in the background makes it feel like the apple is alive, and that its a heart, anyone else feel the same?

Apple turned into gravy.

"it turned yellow and its falling apart" just like my heart.

3:55 forbidden chocolate fudge

Thx for the applepie WITHOUT MIXER recipe

Squishing a seed is just like squishing a pimple, I never want to squishy my pimples ever again

Not gonna lie that looks like art

5:07 forbidden baked apple 😳

3:48 mmm delicious chocolate fudge

master piece of art work 😮

What's with this "rest in peace😢" music like everyone knew this apple, how much it did for the community, remembers all those moments when it made everyone laugh, was always willing to help people.. and now everybody misses it YOU KILLED IT YOU MONSTER

4:16 definitely caramel and chocolate

Respect for the cameraman who stayed still taking a timelapse of an apple inside water for 1 year. Edit: Holy Shit I'm Famous!

I definitely hope he’s doing a 5 year one. I can’t wait

inside my ice tea bottle, i can produce this in less than a week (without any fruit in it) - Nice Video! I've never seen it grow

This video was disgustingly interesting. Keep it up!

5:50 The forbidden applesauce...

My whole storage would be gone if I recorded all that. Amazing

For some reason this made me emotional about my life.

Real Life golden Apple 😂😂 5:15

I wonder what difference it would make with lower oxygen concentration in the water, like it sometimes happens at the bottom of a lake.

This video is so creepy but I liked it 😊 The experiment is very nice🤩

Best apple cider ever😂

2:48 potato🥔🍟

An ecosystem of microbes in perfect harmony for a whole year only to be broken apart by a wooden spoon

That seed pimple squishing had me

Why did the apple glow like an angel~

The freshest apple in an American school 5:21

Wow I didn't know that 1 year of my life is the same as an apple underwater

POV: chill music playing while getting a moldy apple out of dirty water

that looks like something i would eat without question

The striations on the top layer of gelatinous goo after the whole year was weirdly intriguing. I wonder what was in each layer? Probably various types of dead/live microbes and/or their metabolic byproducts. Commenting to boost this videos appeal in the algorithm, since this channel satisfies my mildly morbid curiousity and is always so thoughtfully and artistically shot :) Hope you're having a good day!
