    This Nerf Dart Refuses To Fall 👀



    This Nerf Dart Refuses To Fall 👀

    @Nerfdart has been posting about a nerf dart that’s been stuck to a glass block window for the past 1,774 days. It’s actually been stuck for over 10 years now and it looks like he is going to continue the series until it finally falls.

      I’m calling bs. Unless there is some kind of adhesive the scientific likelihood of a nerf dart saying on a window for 11 years is EXTREMELY LOW- nearly ZERO. Because the dart's cup is made of a flexible polymer (usually a type of thermoplastic elastomer), it isn't perfectly airtight. Over time, air molecules slowly leak through the material itself or past the microscopic imperfections in the seal. Once the internal pressure equalizes with the outside air, gravity wins. Inexpensive suction cups contain plasticizers—chemicals that keep the material soft and "squishy" so it can form a seal. Theres also the UV exposure. Since it’s on a window, it’s being hit by sunlight. UV rays break down these chemical bonds. 
      Even THEN there is the issue of outgassing. Over years, the plasticizers evaporate. The suction cup will eventually become stiff, brittle, and cracked (most commonly called dry rot) which we can actually see in the video. Once it loses its flexibility, it can no longer maintain a vacuum. And yet ANOTHER variable is temperature fluctuation. Windows are high-stress environments for seals with expansion and contraction. As the window heats up during the day and cools at night, the air trapped inside the suction cup expands and contracts. This constant movement puts physical strain on the seal. Usually, a sharp temperature drop will cause the material to stiffen just enough to let a tiny bit of air in, resulting in the dart falling. Even if the seal is great, gravity is pulling on that dart 24/7. Over 11 years, microscopic dust particles and skin oils will migrate. If a single dust speck works its way under the edge of the rim, it creates a "micro-channel" for air to enter.

      For a dart to actually stay for 11 years, you would need-
      1. Perfect Surface Prep: The window would have to have been surgically clean with lasers and shit like that.
      2. Stable Climate: A room with ZERO humidity changes and no direct sunlight.
      3. High-Quality Rubber: A dart with a higher-than-average silicone content.

      IN CONCLUSION- this is bullshit and either the dart has glue on it, or he just keeps putting it back when it falls. In my opinion, I’d say the most likely option is glue because of the dry rot.

      THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!! Around 2012ish I shot one of those suction cup nerf darts straight up at my (and my three siblings) bedroom skylight and it just stuck. It stayed there, vertical for years. Then we renovated the house and the construction workers removed the skylight to clean it, and the skylight was gone for several days. All my siblings and I mourned the loss of the dart, and when the day came that the workers put the skylight back in, IT WAS STILL FUCKING THERE. The workers just left it, much to the annoyance of our parents. After the renovation my siblings and I got new, seperate rooms, and my parents took over our old room. Finally, in 2017 my dad got a ladder and scraped the dart off the window so he wouldn't have to stare at it every morning

      It's glued… the silicone is dry and cracked. There is ZERO way for it to stick on its own.
      Edit: wait…. it glued itself to the window, i bet. Hot AF and melted to it.

      I did the same thing when I was a kid. We were living at my grandparents place until we finished building our place, back when that was the cheap option. It was one of those old school Nerf darts that were like a half inch to a quarter inch thick. Shot at one of the windows in the basement. It was still there after around 12 years and as of last year which I think marks somewhere around 22 years, My grandparents moved out of the house and we were moving some things. I decided to finally take down the dart and as it turns out it's going to stay like that forever because the foam pretty much detached itself from the dart and the rubber part welded itself to the glass.
      The dart was originally orange. After over 22 years it was pale and crumbled.

      It is likely that at some point the glass became warm enough to warm the suction cup up enough to settle into the surface imperfections of the glass creating a weak bond strong enough to hold as it has all this time
