This Swamp Water Came Alive

[@jessicaperry9553]

The small things that you said, looked like little rice is actually called isopods

[@halfcirclehranch6877]

This is like junior high science class with Mr. McCormick. He would give extra credit for all kinds of odd things. One time, he wanted students to go out and collect mud and water from ponds and creeks so we could study them and look for micro-organisms living in them. This video's just like that.

[@CUNOWINS]

i did not like Mr. McCormick

[@halfcirclehranch6877]

​@@CUNOWINSwasn't aware that you attended Deer Lakes Jr. / Sr. High School

[@elliotcastroooo]

This is literally the most fascinating video I’ve seen in a long time.

[@QuietNerd]

:D I'm glad you enjoyed it. There ended up being a lot going on inside pretty wild stuff!

[@LuckyGuu]

@@QuietNerd I think I told you a few weeks ago about the guy in England who goes by the name of Atomic Shrimp as a KZbinr. He did the same sort of experiment you're doing here. Maybe you've seen it. Just want to say again that you're one of my favorite KZbinrs because you always have something interesting to say. Also I'm waiting to see you do some cooking or just lay out a feast and talk about it, before you eat it. I don't know what your budget is but there are some sand dunes east of San Diego and that would be an unusual place to lay out a banquet on a red and white tablecloth. Bring your coyote repellent spray, just kidding but there could be some coyote out there, I don't know. I camped out there one time near Chocolate Mountain and I had a super realistic dream that somebody dressed like Obi-Wan Kenobi was bent over with a flashlight in his mouth and taking off the lug nuts of my 1987 300ZX. It was so real I had to shake my head, to wake myself up and look at my car to see if it was okay

[@blagoevski336]

Same

[@moka7242]

I just went swimming in a lake for the first time the other day. I’m glad I didn’t see this first 😂. Great video!

[@matthew20573]

Don’t worry, lake water is not like this at all! Much cleaner than a dense swamp like this.

[@ceddyville]

Respect what you did here when you went back to the swamp and let it all out.👍🏿

[@QuietNerd]

:D

[@rubypayton4539]

I am a 70 year old woman and that my friend was fascinating. I love your videos and how your mind works.

[@chhakchhuaklalmuansanga2423]

Its a miniatures eco system..So amazing how many living things are in the jar..

[@mageninja3261]

Awesome! Its like a mini terrarium!!

[@QuietNerd]

Yes very much so.I was surprised so much lived inside of it. Pretty cool!

[@stampedetrail2003]

That is terrifying. No more swimming in swamps for me, thanks.

[@Toolness1]

I took an invertebrate zoology class in college around 2005 as part of my BS in Biology and we did lots of stuff like this. In a stream you can use a small net, go upstream slightly and disturb the substrate vigorously. Then you can examine and count the numbers of different invertebrates caught in the net and get a really good account of how healthy the stream is as far as pollution. Some invertebrates are very sensitive to pollution so you can see if you find any of the sensitive variety and how many there are compared to other species. I really loved that class. The bug at 3:59 might be a type of dragonfly or mayfly larvae but it's hard to tell from that view. The really small critters are called zooplankton and phytoplankton which are food for the copepods.

[@memefree3101]

I was so grossed out at first but I still watched until the end...amazing how they were thriving in an airtight environment. Great experiment!

[@joiy]

I am so intrigued and I never watch videos like these. I’m scared of bugs and worms, but I couldn’t stop watching this video

[@QuietNerd]

I'm glad you found it interesting its pretty wild all the things that came from the water

[@QuietNerd]

I cant believe how many worms there were

[@mikenicholls6119]

I think a few of the very tiny oval worms where paramecium

[@dianaverhulst3407]

Fascinating. Keep up the interesting work. We love it!

[@QuietNerd]

Cheers!

[@Momma-angela]

Very interesting, thank you for sharing with us. 😊

[@TarunKiran-es9mz]

BRO THIS VIDEO'S SO INTRESTING........ THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW VIDEOS THAT I WATCH WITHOUT EVER SKIPPING ANY PART

[@QuietNerd]

I'm glad you enjoyed it all the way :D

[@andrewpastor7998]

​@@QuietNerd I agree. Thank you for this!

[@theansweris4299]

I did this 17 years ago when I was 13 I filled a little jar with some dirt rocks a little bit of water and a few acorns then stuck it in the top of the tallest tree I could climb and I checked it after a month and there was all kind of stuff living in it it was so cool

[@QuietNerd]

Awesome! It amazing to see how life is everywhere :D - Cheers!

[@robind7926]

WOWZA! The photos are amazing. I was memorized.

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks!

[@ChiefX07]

This video should have a million views

[@QuietNerd]

Thad be awesome! Cheers!

[@Avion340]

Wow bro this is so fun to watch

[@MichaelZuino]

Awesome video! The worm highways are neat. The things you find in water. Hope this video gets a million views

[@dawnagamble1549]

WOW!!!! TRULLY AMAZING!! I AM IN AWE AT ALL OF THAT! START A SNAIL FARM? GREAT VIDEO DUDE!

[@donaldwallace1525]

What a cool video. I was raised on a farm and thought I knew how nasty stagnated water could get, NOT. We didn't think twice about drinking from a spring or a clear water creek but I may need to rethink that. I wondered about oxygen level when you locked the lid down but you obviously know what you're doing. Again, this was an outstanding video. Also, I love the house that you built for your beautiful kitty.

[@dasnek4339]

that green stuff is duckweed, not algae. It isn't gross as it is often used for modern tanks and ecosystems.

[@PlayNowWorkLater]

Super interesting!

[@tbxtaicho]

That was really cool

[@avion541]

You should try a 14 day and a 1 month one as well.

[@variant-cover]

That was such a fun video to watch.

[@QuietNerd]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by!

[@samluke4440]

Amazing video about the swamp living being, nice work.

[@LeviAva]

What I learned from that video, WORMS ARE EVERYWHERE!

[@QuietNerd]

Indeed lol

[@G-741-S]

It's everything!

[@avion541]

Another great video🤌🤌🤌

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks!

[@EugeniaBonucci1965]

Best video

[@jayypimpinofficial7262]

This is one of the coolest videos ive seen in my youtube viewing career

[@shubankarrai2936]

I love these type of videos rather than expensive terrarium stuffs

[@briangardner7664]

Super cool!!

[@GuardianOfAkros]

Super spooky

[@taylagangggg]

I loved this video

[@tracywagaman1906]

This was fascinating.!!!!!😀

[@QuietNerd]

I'm glad you think so - Cheers

[@shapienails3067]

Now I have a better idea of what they mean by don't drink dirty water on survivor shows. You'll get a stomach bug. lol Microscopic bugs are everywhere, always boil and filter water if in the wild. 🧐

[@Exotria]

And this is why animals instinctively avoid stagnant water.

[@mattwoolford6305]

Awesome video . Loved it ; from Adelaide Australia 🌏 🙌 👍

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks! - Cheers!

[@loyaltyndrespect24]

I have a 3 years old terrarium and i always looked inside with my microscope through the glass. Is amazing how much life in that small universe. Thats all they will ever know.

[@MelindaGilman]

awesome video. thank you.

[@luciuspinckney2437]

That was such a cool video did not know it would be so informative, now I'm looking to buy a microscope soon thanks for sharing.

[@prod_byoNb]

I'm not sure where all the worms are in the swamp, I feel like the small environment you made lets them thrive and reproduce like crazy

[@QuietNerd]

Yea they were able to juts run wild in the jar pretty wild stuff!

[@prod_byoNb]

@@QuietNerd So fascinating! Do you plan to do another video with the cheese camper?? :)

[@skipperbentdk]

Great video 😆

[@flogg8635]

Bizarre.

[@QuietNerd]

Indeed

[@HoodEloquence]

Really interesting video! Love your content!

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks! - Cheers!

[@wrighthausracing9641]

Maybe the gathered on top looking for air. Maybe keep the lid open?

[@ZilawinGaming]

This is fucking awesome

[@QuietNerd]

Oh yea!

[@G-741-S]

Bacteria from atom to life I love watching these 🤟

[@QuietNerd]

Yea it was pretty wild to watch - Cheers!

[@Lol-gn8om]

brah this deserves more than 24k views in a year

[@Lol-gn8om]

EDIT: gonna show this video to my kids to explain why I know its bad to swim in stagnant water :p. I learned the lesson when I was a kid the hard way, but this video explains it in a much more terrifying way

[@BeautifulTripsandPlaces]

Makes me wonder what kind of water would be safe to drink from nature, running water? Yikes. Maybe you should do a video comparing different types of water sources, like running water, or a clear lake, to see if it will become full of life too or not ;)

[@lorifeil895]

I just found this video and it was so interesting! 😊

[@QuietNerd]

Glad you liked it!!

[@ibraheemq7859]

make more videos like this

[@dregss]

Swamps are just worms

[@bart281]

late to comment but when I've seen people create jarrariums they always make a point to keep them exposed to some sunlight. energy needs to be added to the system to sustain it over time, but for something temporary I guess that doesn't matter.

[@Kd0tC]

So cool, but so gross! Please never swim in that swampy pond & burn that jar! Haha

[@QuietNerd]

Haha yea I was shocked a bit as well

[@blagoevski336]

Awesomee

[@MIMIK735]

Probably like a few million little bugs still left in the jar lol

[@MN-mw8ww]

😳Im never sipping creek water again

[@QuietNerd]

lol it was a very stagnate swamp not moving water but I feel you

[@VinnieKielbasa]

Beautiful. How do you set up the camera to do the speed up timelapse?

[@QuietNerd]

I have a time lapse function on my camera that I set the intervals of when I want the camera to take a picture so I did like every 15 seconds for like 5 hours or so as an example then I stitch it together into a video. Hope it helps!

[@VinnieKielbasa]

@@QuietNerd Thank you so much!

[@onyx9857]

Worms be fuckin.

[@thegrove5259]

Looks like the green stuff is duckweed

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks for the info I think your right I wasn't sure myself

[@grzegorzwieczorek3703]

Drink only safe water - it's clear now.

[@historyobsessionist]

2:59 whats that in the bottom right

[@shrekshrek]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm food 🍕🍕🍕

[@allwaizeright9705]

Tubifex and other aquatic tubificid Annelida

[@joelgreenup9883]

do this again for 1-3 months.

[@jq7073]

Spore be like

[@dunetiger]

I'm surprised it didn't all just die due to lack of oxygen. Then again, I guess these little guys don't use a whole bunch of it.

[@starrims]

don't you fear keeping it in home?? 🙆🏿‍♂🙆🏿‍♂🙆🏿‍♂🙆🏿‍♂

[@ix_ix_]

What learned is never swallow swamp water 🤢 🤮

[@shrekshrek]

Why😢😢😢

[@trueqr1]

MEDIACORE

[@onyx9857]

Im itchy.

[@whycheesus]

Gross and beutifull at the same time

[@hordebutcher2651]

Its like that Joe Rogan episode where they talked about the worms in South America that get into the brains of the locals and that's why everybody in South America acts so crazy.

[@gggGgg-z2r]

I might be wrong and/or this might be bad advice but, Can you maybe blurr such videos in the beginning and put a warning in the begging please? Thank you

[@isaacdavis7979]

​@QuietNerd Tubefex Worm 🪱 High Way System😂 Cool 🆒 😎 and Epic Video!! And Tomorrow I'm going to make my First Lake Ecosphere in a big Jar 🫙.

[@montageman8425]

this is fucking dope

[@mephustowest1876]

I would love to know if Cody'sLab @thecodyreeder has seen this video.

[@QuietNerd]

He does some cool stuff!

[@jesiesue]

Wow! Very cool
