The GoPro is one of the coolest inventions in existence. It gives us a perspective into certain activities and spaces that we’d never quite get any other way. Until now, my favorite GoPro video was one of a dog who stole her owner’s device and took off running through various yards and alleyways. It is hilarious to see his owner running helplessly behind her and internally praying that his dog doesn’t destroy his GoPro. Now, that video might be rivaled by something weirder and quite gross. This GoPro time lapse video shows the inside of a rotting watermelon and it looks like something straight out of a body horror flick.
YouTube channel Photo Owl Time Lapse decided to put a GoPro camera inside a watermelon and document the decomposition process. This five minute clip puts together footage from 128 days and it doesn’t take too long for it to get super gnarly. Our favorite day is probably around day 11 when it starts to look like the inside of a zombie’s mouth or stomach. Those bubbles are a lot like acid, after all.
It is both disturbing and also fascinating to see a rotting watermelon through the lens of a GoPro. We also imagine that space smelled like a horror movie scene. Thankfully, YouTube doesn’t come with the ability to smell a clip.
