A World Without Microbes: An Apocalyptic Thought Experiment | I Contain Multitudes 

Man, this really does need a Hollywood treatment. It’s amazing how much we rely on the smallest organisms around us to survive.

wow.. I feel like this is a good video to watch for anyone on quarantine right now. 4:30 Blew my mind, especially when he discusses the impact decomposition and the possibility of cannibalism. 10/10

Awesome experiment, I love the animation of the microbes ! Your channel really deserve more followers!

That is just brilliant! A captivating video :) Somebody should really make a movie on that!

This is about what would happen in the earth's biosphere today. Leaves out the real story of A World Without Microbes for 4.5 billion years. That would be a short story about a world that never had anything living on it.

"You wouldn't have any beer" EXACTLY what I was thinking.

Good exercise.. i'll think about it at bed time :|

Thank you for this funny and compelling video!

Come back zinc, come baaack!

shout out to Dr. J for the video rec

Crazy how supplemental an vital microbes really are. Very fun and educational video!

what the point?

After this video I definitely have to appreciate them but I do not like the fact that they have to cause disease though.

Every creation has its purpose.

Won't the same thing happen with climate change and overpopulation, and habitat overshoot?

exactly, the little things matter most

Thanks for that info 👍

Well, I'm terrified

I love this lol

Did you laugh when the government and big pharmaceuticals try to scare you with Covid? Lmao
