Glad to see Meatball is still with us
500 likes no comments let me… just kidding. Kill this trend, holy… thank you for reminding me that his name was meatball :)
😂
They should have put a remote control light in it with a good battery source..
Surprised they don't know where the water came from.. that's pretty pffff.
The hull has plenty of water in it, and as it loses water it also shrinks - leaving the gap where the water we can see is able to infiltrate.
One of my friends dogs was named meatball, he was put down 4 days ago

I wish I had free time like this.
They do realize pumpkins hold moisture right?
@@AcecloudyStormcatand botulism. All good though . Right ?
He's adorable
It's probably cracking because it's pressurizing. It's letting out liquid AND off-gassing. Better hope that thing is contained when it decides to pop.
I was thinking about gas. It's probably venting out the crack now
Yeah, I can’t believe they didn’t think to dry it out before encasing it.

@@feliciag5789hey grow a brain pumpkins are fruits and if you have a brain cell look it up.
When pumpkins rot, they liquefy. Made the mistake of leaving one on the dining room table a little too long while waiting to carve it. That's probably where all the liquid is coming from
Or as the year went on the pumpkin started to dehydrate and the resin trapped the liquid
@@treedoctor2745 k
They know
@@puppetseducercry about it
I’ve done that too 😂
Fun fact, if that resin was basically undegradable then that pumpkin would eventually turn into literally everything but a pumpkin and eventually it will reform into a pumpkin
The smile, like it can smell it, and its just waiting for the day everone else does, too
The extra water is from the pumkin liquidification. It won't mold cause no germs can get inside, BUT it's still going to age and liquefy.
How? Resin isn’t like amber??
@hershekissed yes and no. As you can see here the pumpkin is starting to split the Resin out the back.
Whereas Amber (which is fossilized tree sap) has YEARS where it very slowly envelops specimens and therefore anything alive trapped inside has time to try out before it's mummified.
BUT... Amber has never encased anything as BIG as a pumpkin before, so... Amber could technically gather juices from liquefied pumpkins, and also start cracking out the back...
@hershekissed there are plenty of amber specimes with liquid water in them from the organism decomposing
@@nblax41 cool!
Spoiler alert 📢😳😐 lol 😆🤣 jk I was curious
You cannot contain him
He will escape
And he will have his revenge
All you can do is to delay the inevitable, and pray he will have mercy to be quick
It's not the head you must fear. It's the body which is significantly less covered in resin.
Revenge by stinky mush
„This prison to hold me?“
he will contain us in resin once he escapes
Dad no@@Definitely_a_bee 😆🤣
We need a video for every year for the next 5 years 😂
It will look exactly the same. It's an illusion, a micro thin layer of pumpkin skin is preserved forever, the rest of the rot is hidden away. Would need to cut it open to see anything.
I love how they're talking about it like he's some sealed evil demon and meanwhile the pumpkin has the stupidest cutest smile 😂
“A couple attempted to preserve a pumpkin in resin for multiple years, this is what happened to their brains”
Hello fellow Chubbyemu enjoyer.
@@aaronprice1497wtf
Patient Kc and Bl present to the emergency room with...
And the couple made...A recovery.
The pumpkin is decomposing. Fresh flowers do it, too, in resin. If you don't want a blob of brown/black mush you have to dehydrate it first.
Won't it technically be mush.. *in the shape of a pumpkin*. Cause the resin holds it in.
They try, I wach that video 😅
Which is also exactly why Egyptian relics and mummies have stayed intact so well over time. Bc they're in a dry sandy climate
@@ceephii6594Idk if that’s the only reason- they go through a very special mummification process and use chemicals to preserve it.
Vacuum chamber would also work right? While keeping it fresh looking, fills the air gaps inside the pumpkin with resin
Its probably undergoing anaerobic decay, which is resulting in pressure build-up. Gasses are trying to escape but they can't, so they're trying to make a way out.
I once had this pumpkin a while back that lasted for a few years, lost track of it not too long ago, so that’s that
I love how his face is just :D as he’s on nefarious timing 😂
hii ik this dosent matter but im the 1000th like! :D

It’s always the cute ones you have to watch out for. Make no mistake when he escapes he’s coming for your souls.

-The Pumpkin
The human desire to entomb things for all eternity never ceases to amaze me.
First the mummies, then cats, and now pumpkins?? 😂
At this point its not even for religious reasons 🤣
Drying out the pumpkin is imperative if you want to preserve it. You can try stuffing it with something absorbant/allow air flow to help it keep it's shape.
I'd try spraying with 75-99% isopropyl alcohol to help it along. Once the rind is cured, dried, and hardened, you can seal it however you want
Yeah..but that would be way less fun now, would it?
Waiting impatiently for the big pumpkin explosion and all the associated horrors 😅
i guess you didnt see the new video for this years attempt?
@@jaquesmerde9146hes watching shorts most people who watched shorts would just scroll and watch another shorts

Something about him trying to escape makes me so happy! Worried for you guys, tho ❤️
This must be a cartoon show plot twist where the main protags accidentally caught a silly pumpkin in resin without knowing it was a god or something
The pumpkin is still decomposing, so fluids of the pumpkin will built up as bacteria eat it away, causing gas to build up. This building up pressure on the resin, if the pressure is high enough it will crack part of the resin if not all (not likely if it was one solid piece of resin). Since you mentioned the resin block is made from two different pours of resin; this causing two different layers that are connected by the stickiness of the second resin pour, and a crack is forming then the gasses in the block has enough pressure to slowly break apart at the intersection of the two resin layer. Best thing to do is throw it out. The crack can get bigger and cause the gas and fluids to leak out, which will cause a mess and smell very bad that you may vomit smelling the 1 year old decayed pumpkin flesh. Best way to prevent all of this was to freeze the pumpkin entirely to kill most bacteria, then soak it in some type of preservative liquid for about 24-72 hours to make all the cells in the pumpkin be filled with the liquid, then to pour one continuous layer of resin over the pumpkin, leaving all bubbles out. To make sure no air is in there leave the pumpkin top open and get rid of an air bubbles inside the pumpkin, once that is don add the top back on and pour till all of the pumpkin in cover d with idk 2-3 inches of resin on top of it. That could potentially make the pumpkin last for a couple of years if not technically forever in the reain
take it to a publisher
big brain
My thoughts exactly
this gotta be copy paste?
I was just about to say that!
The pumpkins retained humidity from the water which was already in it. As it expand pressure builds on the weaker parts of the rind and it can explode or cause a crack.
Ergo- THE PUMPKIN DESIRES FREEDOM
So its natural gas in there? Like biomass thing
Nah thats gojo trina escape the prison realm
@@KuroKyxryeah like how Watermelon get rotten (start turn liquid by making foam cause of decomposition)
It looks like they did 7 pours. Resin casting, being a catalytic reaction, creates some heat. It probably started after the first pour, accelerated during the second pour, and this was when the decomposition began. After the third or fourth pour, it began outgassing which caused the weakness between layers.
I would have probably tried pouring the skin first, then do the same to the inside to seal it. Do the pours about a day apart, wait about 3-4 days then do several pours to fill the inside before doing the final immersion fill.
Something else that might help, would be after the skin pour, dehydrate the inside to remove some of the moisture before completing the pour process.
Them talking about an “eternal resin prison” with such a cute looking pumpkin was hilarious 😂
He said idk where the water is coming from well he must be a certified genius😂😂 it’s coming from the damn pumpkin genius
Be careful. There could be a huge pressure building up on the inside, from the rotting gases.
They need to be informwd of this. Cause shrapnel you know.
@@brunorojas3992most likely would just crack open and not explode with a fireball.
@@brunorojas3992it would be cool to see it explode while inside resin
@@brunorojas3992thats not how that works😂😂 gave a good laugh though
@@lerbronk Yeah one crack would pop open and spray that liquified pumpkin all over the place....
That look on his little face just screams “I WILL BE FWEE!”
Hilarious😂
This prison to hold, me?
I’ve watched most of your videos on YT! Love you guys!
The spoopiness cannot be contained…..
As the plant cells begin to die and deteriorate, they lose their structure in the water inside of them leaks out. It’s a unnoticeable amount of water when it’s one sell, but when a whole pumpkin is rotting all those cells that die leak their water
"This prison, to hold, ME?!"
A visitor? Hmm, indeed..
I have slept long enough, the kingdom of heaven has forgotten my name
And I am EAGER to make them remember.
However, the blood of Minos stains your hands.
I knew it was here!
Fermentation is amazing
The pumpkin escaping its epoxy tomb is a sure sign of calamity.
I imagine gasses are building up in there. Due to the ambient bacteria that would have been present on the pumpkin. I don't think it will explode, but it's not out of the question.
Seconded, that things is going to be *nasty* when it starts leaking
Thinking botulism😮
@@evenbetterthanthereaIthing right! I guess it's an anaerobic environment that wasn't ever sterilized
@@LamefoureyesI wonder if blanching it first would’ve been enough to kill the bacteria. 🤔
Maybe, but that's also assuming that no new bacteria landed on the pumpkin as it cooled off etc
Pumpkins do have a lot of water in them. Essentially you guys made a closed ecosystem in resin. The water allows anerobic bacteria to thrive in an environment like that. Neat little science experiment. Just keep it in a sturdy box in case it explodes
They should reinforce it with another layer of resin.
Mr. Pumpkin must be very confident about waking up from his captive slumber.
Unless you have dried it ahead, it will have water or air. Many years ago when I was in grade school my mother tried doing this with various bugs like dragonflies. Bubbles would form around them. Obviously had air or moisture or both that trapped an d moved out of the specimens as the resin heated. Try predrying with the silicone beads or dust that is often used when drying flowers. You will need to experiment but you are going to have a stinky surprise in the near future. Good experiment though
You should try freeze-drying the Jack-o-lantern before you put it into resin. It should completely prevent the rotting, but it will be fairly fragile, so be careful when starting the resin process.
I think a spray with preservatives and a light acid would've done 99% of the trick. Probably wouldn't have lasted 100 years but would've lasted 20 with a little more work.
Simple dehydration with acetone works much better and faster than freeze drying.
"Its only a matter of time before he breaks free"
The pumpkin: :D
That's the face of a killer, don't be so fooled.
That would be an interesting horror story. A pumpkin carved and encased in a resin prison only to escape and take its revenge a year later!
You are doing so much good for the environment! thank you.
You will regret keeping him in your house... Don't let that smile fool you.
That is the face of a demon, a banished god in a clear prison.
Ominous asf.
Be careful of exploding caskets. Decomposing things don't like to be encased
they captured the spirit of halloween.

@@yki000-el9lk nope. They shoved a lamp up his butt apparently, ya know, to keep the lights on.

It’s pressure. It’s gonna pop out the oven. Pumpkin babies soon.
Can’t wait to see him this year
HES ALIVEEEEE!!!! HE LIVESSSS!!!
Pumpkins take in a lot of water, about twice as much more than most plants. So it is the water. Very cute pumpkin, curious to see how it goes!
Homie is straight marinating in his own juices😂
The liquid in the pumpkin is separating and bacterial decomposition is slowed but not halted. The bacterial activity creates gasses (bacteria farts) causing expansion and increased internal pressure, hence the crack
It would be cool to *carefully* drill a tiny hole in the bottom to release the pressure and trapped liquids, then let it sit somewhere (preferably outside in a shed or something, but away from light which will deteriorate and discolor the resin) where it can drain and the smell of rotting pumpkin won't bother anyone (good ventilation is key). Then once it's completely decomposed, maybe flush it with water or alcohol until all the plant matter is gone . Then you'll have a perfectly clear resin shell where the original pumpkin used to be. At that point, i guess maybe inject some orange paint in the hole, roll it around to coat every interior surface, then drill a bigger hole up from the bottom and put some LEDs in it to create the coolest lamp ever!
Depending if the skin and stem are still holding up once most of the flesh has decomposed, you could inject a strong (like 15-25%) salt solution into it and let that draw the remaining moisture out, then drain it and let the remaining skin, etc dry out. You might need to drill a second hole and use an aquarium pump or something to keep the air moving inside until it's completely dry. The salt should maintain the color, so if the skin holds up ok, that could make the lamp even cooler! And you wouldn't have to use any paint, it would just be a "skin and stem only" jack-o-lantern!
This makes me want to try it this Halloween!
He looks happier than most people
That's dark
Bro is like :D
If he breaks out hes going to wreck havoc, keep him contained at all costs
FINAL BOSS:PUMPKIN PAL. THE UNCHAINED
That sweet, innocent face! The mysterious liquid expanding. The growing crack and his Halloween origins. This is an scp 😂😂😂
A rotting piece of something will produce energy and that energy has to go somewhere. It doesn't just disappear, after all.
So the resin cracking makes perfect sense.
Also does resin isolate fungi from escaping because I think this block is a biohazard
@fatemaq6692 I don't actually know.
Anyway I like the way you scientifically speculated
@@fatemaq6692yes it does its a solid block the spores cant get in or out
"This prison... to hold, ME?!?"
Still smiling, but trapped and dead inside while slowly wasting away. Relatable.
It's cracking from the air pressure caused by the decay of the pumpkin which releases natural gases, and the water is also coming fron decay, as it decays it releases its water content when shriveling up and drying out.
Since air was introduced it of course had bacteria and yeasts inside and trapped giving it almost perfect enviornment to ferment, as the pumking has water inside, since not visually rotting might end up smelling hardcore like vinegar or even alcohol xD, pumpkins naturally have sugars that can ferment
Imagine being tempted to taste it because it smells like alcohol xD no not!
Maybe try dehydrating in silica then encasing? Like they do flowers to preserve the colors and look
When that pumpkin breaks out its gonna say “ahh…free at last”
You thought he was gonna stay but he's turning in his Resin-nation.🎃🙃
"There's a big crack in the back of him?"
We all have a crack in our back
Yeah definitely keep that inside a big tub so that it doesn't leak over everything!
If he escapes he's coming after you guys. Imagine waking up to that thing smiling next to your head.
The bacteria is trying to escape 😂😂😂
Ok, now I want to see someone animate his escape!
That will cost you you're dignity
That pumpkin really is being like “this prison to hold me?“
Oh no, i feel like, like the spare change in my pockets are telling me to use them
this is like documentation of a weird experiment with unknown conclusions before we get the eventual explosion. I would not store this guy anywhere you value or where someone might be, because it is going to be a weird parabolic pressure change or temperature, and that resin will become chunks of cannonball
Definitely doing this with my mom when she passes!!
For real?
