CIGARETTE IN SOIL - 1 YEAR Time Lapse [8K]

You guys really liked my in soil time lapses, so I decided to do another one. This time I put 3 cigarettes in a mason jar full of soil and left it in there for a whole year. Underground time lapse.

Super cool time lapse and quite the eye opener. There must be quadrillions of these scattered about the world, buried in our soils, in the wild, in the gardens, affecting plant life everywhere. I’m probably responsible for hundreds of them back in my youth I’m sorry to say. Cigarettes were the best thing I ever gave up. Only took a handful of attempts and 30 years of my life to beat the dam things. I’m only 7 months and 2 weeks clean of them but I’m over them for good. Still get the cravings, but I take deep breaths and think about all the people we’ve lost to these disgusting things. It was my favourite poison but that’s exactly what they were. Good riddance.

Look like it mostly start from the cigarette. They had some bacteria in them that took most the glass at first, or it's just the better source of nutrition that existed in there.

[@styx85]

It would be cool, but there would be way too much randomness involved to draw any conclusions from such a small sample. A single mold spore could change the whole outcome in any jar.

[@guillaumelefrancois5255]

@@styx85 true. However if you mixed the coil all together, and the split it in two to make two jar, you can bet you got the same bacteria and seed in the two jar.

[@arishok89]

This is the first time I felt sad at the end, I wanted this video to go on like forever. Great video as always

[@EducatedSkeptic]

Absolutely LOVED watching this - especially all the mites, collembola, nematodes, and other tiny little invertebrates that in the accelerated depiction, seemed to be zipping around all through the soil in the jar. The persistence of the filters was not surprising, but a clear demonstration of how long they'll last in the environment when they just get thrown out a window or otherwise dropped on the ground.

[@CubeGodd]

Yes but at least it looked like a home for some microbes and possibly algae. I mean, a rock would be a suitable home as well, but just as a sunken ship is to fish, might as well live wherever you're given opportunity.

[@bionicspuds4616]

Don’t birds bring cigarettes back to their nests to keep parasites and mites away?

[@youngflood3191]

Dude. That was like the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. It’s like the bugs created their own world and eco system there. If you pay attention you can see the sparks of life happening. Wowwwwwww. The bugs man. This is actually crazy.

[@user-bx3dh1ng6f]

I enjoyed the video and the time and dedication. One question I have is that it's in a jar which is fantastic but throughout the entire video there's a light burning which is I'm assuming simulating daylight. But if you did this experiment outside in the elements I believe the results would be much much different considering different soil and temperature differentials that is if you truly wanted to see what happened to a cigarette in the earth over a year but don't get me wrong I love the video

[@larshogeboom6062]

The relieve when he opened the jar after a year of standing still and filming must be gigantic! I hope he can buy a really good chair from making this video!

[@FrazerGoddon]

A great video, nicely done. It's amazing to see how much life and movement is to be seen in a closed environment.

[@fraserbuchan7421]

Makes one ponder is the earth a closed environment..aka under a dome?

[@FrazerGoddon]

@@fraserbuchan7421 One could argue that we are in a closed environment, and our atmosphere is the dome. Everything is so far away from us that this planet may as well be in a glass jar. We only have what's already here and the sun's rays.

[@Oli_Thompson]

REALLY awesome video - I loved seeing all the little critters zooming about!! I think that little plant might have been a young fern plant. I reckon it might have passed because of shock. If you're happy for me to share what I'd do next time: I'd plant it in another sealed pot with a similar humidity/atmosphere using the soil it originally grew in. Over time you'd be able to acclimatise the plant to being exposed to a different environment (air temperature or humidity changes, etc). I've grown a bunch of ferns in the past, so hope that helps. Great content!

[@Thedarkbunnyrabbit]

I was thinking along those lines. The plant was born and growing in the jar, and then it was transplanted to a radically different environment, it very likely wasn't adapted for that.

[@meinnase]

@@Thedarkbunnyrabbit Tbh to me it looked like the soil he put it in was just way to wet and the roots probably rotted immediately :(

[@Thedarkbunnyrabbit]

@@meinnase That's also possible. He should have definitely kept the same level of moisture as the jar.
