So, I borrowed some pineapple juice, and mixed it with the pond water. It caused most of the bacteria to stop moving, but a few kept going. Pineapple is okay, but not super effective.

So, I bought some lemon juice today, and used it in the pond water. The bacteria stopped moving after a minute (I guess it's a pretty good cleaning solution).
When I mixed the pond water with vinegar, I was surprised that it stopped the bacteria from moving (now I know why my mother used it to clean the floors).
So, this time I mixed the pond water with hand sanitizer, and well, all the bacteria stopped moving instantly (more than 99.9% effective).
So, I got more pond water and mixed it with dish soap. It was not as effective at getting rid of bacteria as I thought. A few of them survived, so dish soap washes not eliminates.
So, I mixed some cinnamon in some of the leftover pond water that I have, and was surprised to find out that the bacteria had stopped moving. Interesting.
Well, I mixed pond water with salt, and I realized why there wasn't much bacteria in sea water (the salt caused them to stop moving).
Salt crystals are surprisingly intricate. Going to mix it with pond water next (thankfully, it stopped raining).
I mixed detergent with some pond water, and the bacteria melted faster than alcohol (it's like watching them turn into soup).
Needles are really dull up close, and based on the amount bacteria on it; it's best to sterilize it with alcohol.
There's a surprising amount of fungi in the dirt of your nails (this is why I keep my nails short and manicured).
Lotion look like water droplets when viewed through the microscope. I wonder if different brands would look any different.
Orange cells are strangely enough oval shaped (you'd think it'd square shape considering it's floral).
Can confirm. There are no worm in the banana (at least the one I looked through the microscope).
Today, I looked at ice cream (still frozen) through the microscope. Lots of ice crystals, and some...air bubbles?
Well, I look at some orange juice (with pulp) through the microscope, and noticed some square shaped cells still in the juice. Looks like we're still ingesting plant matter.
So, I look at yogurt under the microscope, and saw plenty of bacteria (most of them are probably beneficial).
So I took the pond water and mixed it with bleach this time, the bacteria stopped moving, some just melted, and a few other creatures just shrank for some reason.
If you look at chocolate under the microscope, it looks like the landscape of Mars.
Seeds have a more intricate pattern than they appear when viewed through the microscope.
