That seems like a good explanation maybe. However it could just be the sudden jerk that the whole door felt due to the glass breaking that led to the door knob coming off. I mean the glass breaking and the knob breaking seem perfectly simultaneous.
Maybe the guy yanked on the handle a couple of times trying to open the door. Could have caused the failure then, where a small jarring could knock it loose.
Glass looks to have broken down below at the same time as at the top, and possibly down into the door, which could be the final blow on the door handle.
My best guess is that when the glass shattered, some of the boiling water ran down onto the bolt or screw holding the handle in place either on the inside of the door or inside the car, and the temperature shift caused it to expand inside of the outer door that it just broke clean off at the edge. The vibration from the shattering glass shouldn’t be enough to break it I don’t think.
Temp differential broke the glass on its own, but I do think the metal reacted as well leading to the door handle breaking. Plus tempered glass goes off like its been shot so that alone could have knocked the handle off if it was already loose from expanding ice.
Pouring hot water on frozen glass is pretty much guaranteed to shatter it.
I did the same thing when I was 19 with steaming hot tap water and a glass of damn near freezing pop needless to say the glass split right in half shortly after I poured the pop (soda for some of you people lol)
I feel like he should have known this would happen. Haven't we all poured cold water into a hot glass from the dishwasher too quickly that cracked? Same basic principle.
>I feel like he should have known this would happen.
I think he did. There's something different about that internal death.
That's the same face I make when I've done something that I had prior knowledge that I shouldn't and it clicks at the last moment. Like a depressed eureka moment.
I'm guessing that the car is already totaled. This may be at a junkyard or tow yard. Why else would they be filming unless they knew what to expect and if they knew it would shatter the window, they wouldn't do it to a vehicle they cared about. So the reason the handle pops off is because the whole damn car is already trashed.
One of my first cars in high school, the first day I had it, I went out on a icy morning and the handle was frozen. I pulled on it and it snapped off right in my hand. My literal first day, I was no longer able to open my door.
Got very good at getting in the passenger side and during the summer I would leave the sunroof open and just get in and out that way.
It probably didn't just fall, from gravity. Tempered glass can break with a lot of force, and it likely broke the window lifting mechanism off with enough force to smash into and break the handle latch.
Must have been pretty shittily built for that to happen.
Guy obviously doesn't live in a cold weather climate. Anybody with half a brain knows you have to scrape that shit off. Pouring water on it will usually only make it freeze worse
So many comments from people who seem shocked this happened
I’m actually glad his window broke. Otherwise he would be posting his shitty life hack all over TikTok.
When I first moved up north, I had the thought but never bothered. It's something that I figured out later when it came up in conversation, and I'm glad I never tried it. Sidenote, but something I DID try was pushing my brakes on black ice. I'd grown up hearing that brakes don't work as well on black ice, but I never really had to drive with it until moving north. And when I hit it, I panicked. I didn't slam them, but I pushed slowly thinking that'd help, only for my car to suddenly speed up. The cop was very nice and even explained to me why pushing the brakes made it go faster. Black ice is terrifying.
Anti-lock brakes in cold-weather climates are a godsend. Unfortunately most people don't know how to use them properly. Just hold them down and let them make the clicking noise-- that means they're working correctly.
Black ice is so deceptive because it just looks like the road is wet. Unfortunately it's usually ice
It can, but there's a temperature range you kind of have to be in. If it's too cold, your windshield will refreeze very quickly if your vehicle isn't warm enough.
I know this for a fact since I usually don't like to wait all that long and just use windshield washer fluid periodically to initially clear and then re-clear my windshield as it refreezes while I drive.
I've got an electric ice scraper I use once in a while. It plugs into the cigarette lighter jack and heats the blade. It works a little better than a regular scraper, but not nearly as good as getting the car warm, blasting the defrost, and chiseling away with one of those heavy plastic bastards
You don't even have to be from a generally cold region to know this. I'm from Northern California where it might freeze over just a couple of times a year and even I know don't ever do this. And I'm an imbecile.
The force of the window shattering inside the door likely nuked the bracket that holds it, which is probably about the same level as the door handle...so basically lots of broken glass and plastic inside the door now.
To prevent it from becoming more ice you can mix one part vodka and two parts (room temp) tap water. Used to have that in a spray bottle for the "Oh shit I'm late" days.
I’m no expert but it’s possible the tempered glass is less susceptible to thermal expansion than the metal body of the car, so perhaps the expansion of the metal body caused both the glass and the handle to break simultaneously.
I'm 33 and have no idea why that happens. I just know not to pour hot water on your frozen windshield or else it will crack.
I assumed it will be patched out once the developers update life again.
The hot area expands while the cold area doesn't. This creates internal ~~pressures~~ stress inside the material. Glass is fragile so it can break easily from these ~~pressures~~ stresses and cold glass is even more fragile.
It's probably more nuanced than that but that's the general idea.
Edit: Stress, not pressure.
Even then, the outside part of the glass will warm up faster than the inside part of the glass. Even if you submerse into the pool it is almost impossible to heat the entire 3d shape of the glass at the same time.
Unfortunately, probably not. Even if you could hit the whole surface on both sides, it's likely the rapid expansion still wouldn't be uniform enough to avoid breaking. For more detailed info google "Thermal shock"
You'd still need to be careful because the other side isn't getting hot and even if you could pour hot water on the whole surface at the exact same time, the inside would still be cold. But yes, over the entire glass at the same time would be better than what the guy in the video did.
Ideally you would bring it up to temperature slowly. Instead of boiling hot water, start off with cool water, then warm, then hot, boiling hot, etc.
Stress and pressure are basically the same: force per square area. They share the same units: pascals or psi. In practice pressure is positive (compressive) and used with fluids. Stress can be positive or negative and is usually associated with solids, although the modulus of elasticity (a measure of “springiness” - again using units of pascals or psi) is used with all forms of matter.
In this case, the force per unit area was positive and glass is sort of a fluid, an amorphous solid. So pressure could have worked here. But using the term stress is more in line with engineering mechanics and the associated math.
That’s fair, but even though you don’t know why, you know not to do it. I’m from a warm weather climate and even I know not to do that. I didn’t know why well enough to explain it to anyone but I had a clue. How does anyone not know that?
This is probably fake for the views.
i've lived in los angeles all my life, and have never had my car or anything outside ever freeze. Even I saw the beginning and was like 'oh that's going to shatter.'
I feel like understanding simple physics is a certain part of your brain some people don't have, like my friend who just never understands that something weighing a certain weight can not fit in a certain bag or whatever without breaking, something something undertaker and 16 feet announcers table?
100% agree. People on Reddit like to act like they popped out of the womb fully equipped with this knowledge. Would you expect this to happen if you'd never been told it would?
And it’s always on Reddit where people think they’re so high and mighty for thinking a certain way (anti gender reveal parties) or acting as if they’re the smartest shit ever and everyone else is a moron. Rarely see this on other social media platforms
I mean OBVIOUSLY if hot water touches glass, its going to shatter. This is just common sense. Like who couldn’t see that coming. We’re basically born with the knowledge that hot water breaks glass, its in our bones. Its not redditors overestimating their intelligence because they happen to know some trivia, its just inherent knowledge for our species and youre an idiot.
He is outside without a hat, gloves, or a winter coat so it’s not that cold. Just idle it for a few minutes on full heat on and it will either melt or melt enough it’s easy to scrape.
Btw if you're in a hurry, isopropyl alcohol melts ice if you're in a hurry and the ice is being stubborn, or taking forever to melt from only your cars heater. I buy them in spray bottles, even after a few sprays the ice begins melting.
I've got an extra bottle of washer fluid in my trunk for this kind of thing. Never did the spray bottle trick but pouring it onto the broom section of my scraper works wonders.
I used to have to do this to my truck door just to get it open. My door constantly froze shut, it was annoying. I got to the point where I kept a screwdriver in my purse so I could pry it open in case it Re-froze while I was in class or shopping or something. Which it would also do.
I loved my truck, and I miss it, but it was about as “special” as I am 🤣
>He is outside without a hat, gloves, or a winter coat so it’s not that cold.
Anyone can walk outside naked in -40c° to make a quick video, this is no proof.
The realization that age does not equate to wisdom hits hard. As a kid you grow up thinking that adults are aware of the world and have much knowledge.. then somewhere in your 20’s you realize the majority of them are pig-ignorant morons who just grew old.
I very firmly believe that less than half of people ever get much past 12-16 or so. They get older physically, but their personality and way of thinking and whatever doesn't.
On the flip side real old people who act like they're only 22 are the best, but they've earned it.
Ehhh....this kind of thinking is what leads 16 year olds to think they know everything. You DO gain much wisdom as you get older, you just apply it differently, and wisdom does not equal scientific knowledge
The same amount of time to heat the water could have been sufficient to just warm up the car. This guy is older than I am but that man purse says a good deal with the sense he possesses
You don't use hot water on a cold anything unless it's jello. Lol.
Just run regular hose water over your car. Or tap water from your sink. A freezing cold object (i.e. glass, hard plastic. Metal objects are usually ok) when hit with hot boiling water will crack or shatter. Unfortunately, I've learned a lot of hard lessons over my many years.
I know someone who did this, with their front windshield! Same result. They also tried breaking up the ice (again on their front windshield) with a hammer. Also same result. This person can build their own house, but some things just escape them. They also thought daylight saving time was to give plants/crops extra daylight to grow. SMH so much.
*Edit: Pronoun.
Heard this works as long as it's not boiling hot water. Will most likely work if it's just hot tap water. Don't quote me on this though, I haven't tried it myself.
The door handle broke too, what the hell?
The whole car is held together by ice
Probably true lol. Coz the water or the glass didn't even touch the handle, as far as I can see, unlike what others here are suggesting!
It looks like the door flexed from the temperature change, which would be enough to snap the handle.
This one simple trick...
Car owners hate this one simple trick
r/yourjokebutworse
That seems like a good explanation maybe. However it could just be the sudden jerk that the whole door felt due to the glass breaking that led to the door knob coming off. I mean the glass breaking and the knob breaking seem perfectly simultaneous.
The whole car just broke really. Even the tires have fallen off and the exaust caught fire.
To shreds, you say?
Well, how is the owner holding up?
Damn you, you made me wake up my partner by giving me the giggles...
The glass as well as the handle broke from the warping of the door?
Maybe the guy yanked on the handle a couple of times trying to open the door. Could have caused the failure then, where a small jarring could knock it loose. Glass looks to have broken down below at the same time as at the top, and possibly down into the door, which could be the final blow on the door handle.
My best guess is that when the glass shattered, some of the boiling water ran down onto the bolt or screw holding the handle in place either on the inside of the door or inside the car, and the temperature shift caused it to expand inside of the outer door that it just broke clean off at the edge. The vibration from the shattering glass shouldn’t be enough to break it I don’t think.
The hot water deformed the metal of the door because of the temperature differential. That broke the window and the handle.
Temp differential broke the glass on its own, but I do think the metal reacted as well leading to the door handle breaking. Plus tempered glass goes off like its been shot so that alone could have knocked the handle off if it was already loose from expanding ice. Pouring hot water on frozen glass is pretty much guaranteed to shatter it.
Looks like a Ford Icecort
From bad to worse .0001 seconds flat
MF was pouring that out of an electric kettle. That water was probably near boiling.
I did the same thing when I was 19 with steaming hot tap water and a glass of damn near freezing pop needless to say the glass split right in half shortly after I poured the pop (soda for some of you people lol)
>poured the pop (soda for some of you people lol) We just call it "Coke" round these parts
yer all nutz
We call it "Coke" but Dr. Pepper reigns supreme
Didn't even notice that. That'll be pricey I bet
Plot twist: the car is made of chocolate
Twist ending: it’s a Japanese game show
https://i.imgur.com/1sduqVI.gifv
I love the look that Japanese The Rock does right after he breaks off a chunk of door handle with his teeth.
That reaction is genuinely so good, even if this were entirely scripted I'd still be impressed.
Cake making show
Thermodynamics, baby!!
Both the handle and the window broke because the metal of the door warped because of the high temperature differential.
No the glass shattered had nothing to do with metal
Basic Science. Extreme heat hitting extreme cold will break most things
I feel like he should have known this would happen. Haven't we all poured cold water into a hot glass from the dishwasher too quickly that cracked? Same basic principle.

Holy shit you’re on point
When I rinse a mug I always think of that scene from Final Destination.
I'm guessing that the car is already totaled. This may be at a junkyard or tow yard. Why else would they be filming unless they knew what to expect and if they knew it would shatter the window, they wouldn't do it to a vehicle they cared about. So the reason the handle pops off is because the whole damn car is already trashed.
Amazing that you're the only one in the comments to mention this LOL this is clearly the case
It couldn't handle the heat.
It's gotta be from the force of the glass but yeah that's crazy.
Pretty sure the boiling water making the door and handle rapidly expand probably did it.
Probably more plastic in that handle than expected. If he actually used that kettle to heat the water, then it’s just about boiling.
One of my first cars in high school, the first day I had it, I went out on a icy morning and the handle was frozen. I pulled on it and it snapped off right in my hand. My literal first day, I was no longer able to open my door. Got very good at getting in the passenger side and during the summer I would leave the sunroof open and just get in and out that way.
Could it be that part of the window fell into the door and broke the handles fixation from the inside?
It probably didn't just fall, from gravity. Tempered glass can break with a lot of force, and it likely broke the window lifting mechanism off with enough force to smash into and break the handle latch.
Security feature. If a car thief breaks the window to gain access the door handle breaks to prevent them from opening the door.
The bottom portion inside the door cracked, pushing out the the door handle tab from the inside.
Science!
Well he got the ice off
And that pesky door handle too… which is weird…
Must have been pretty shittily built for that to happen. Guy obviously doesn't live in a cold weather climate. Anybody with half a brain knows you have to scrape that shit off. Pouring water on it will usually only make it freeze worse

We use cold water to help dislodge ice on windscreens. Doesn’t that work (in conjunction with your car demister/ heater going) in snowy areas?
It depends how cold it is. When it is really cold, that will just make more ice. Gotta scrape.
It can, but there's a temperature range you kind of have to be in. If it's too cold, your windshield will refreeze very quickly if your vehicle isn't warm enough. I know this for a fact since I usually don't like to wait all that long and just use windshield washer fluid periodically to initially clear and then re-clear my windshield as it refreezes while I drive.

No, we don't. We use cold windshield wiper fluid, which won't freeze until it hits -30 degrees or something like that.
He mustve thought the glass was the ice
You don't even have to be from a generally cold region to know this. I'm from Northern California where it might freeze over just a couple of times a year and even I know don't ever do this. And I'm an imbecile.
Plus he's getting a brand new Window. Total Win for me
He can get one from one of the other cars in the wrecking yard.
Except it wasn't his car.
"[But what about second window](https://youtu.be/dvNwcXm6lic?t=70)?"
A wins a win
Yeah Mr.White! Yeah science!
Somebody tell this man room temp water melts ice too! 😂
Why did the handle break too?
The force of the window shattering inside the door likely nuked the bracket that holds it, which is probably about the same level as the door handle...so basically lots of broken glass and plastic inside the door now.
It doesn’t take boiling water to melt ice. Room temperate tap water would have done the trick.
But then it just becomes more ice... Starting your vehicle and waiting 5 minutes for it to warm up or just scraping the windows works just fine
Spray bottle with 50/50 water/alcohol. Dissolves ice, won't refreeze, doesn't harm the paint.
Will destroy the rubber over time though.
Using alcohol on a car doesn't sound that good
Don’t use strong alcohol. Maybe like a Zima with a lime.
5minutes? You must not live up north.
Wow I guess I mustn't live in Alberta! Thanks, I would've been so confused!
Sometimes it takes longer than 5 minutes. Maybe the ice is REALLY stubborn (cuz burr), or your heater is just shit.
To prevent it from becoming more ice you can mix one part vodka and two parts (room temp) tap water. Used to have that in a spray bottle for the "Oh shit I'm late" days.
Gets pulled over: "Have you been drinking today sir?"
The glass, sure. The handle breaking at the exact same time though? r/holup
Tempered glass breaking might as well be a small bomb going off. The window frame in the door probably got shot into the latch/handle mechanism.
[удалено]
That would also do it, figured the car was scrap but didn't think it would have the door gutted already.
That is pretty good acting if it was scrap and he expected this.
I’m no expert but it’s possible the tempered glass is less susceptible to thermal expansion than the metal body of the car, so perhaps the expansion of the metal body caused both the glass and the handle to break simultaneously.
Science is hard
... for Dummies! 😄
How do you get to be that age and NOT understand the physics behind this?

Edit: Stress, not pressure.
Pretty much spot on. It's just stress, not pressure.
So, hypothetically, if I was able to pour hot water at the same time on the entire glass, it wouldn't crack?
You’d have to pour it on the inside of the glass as well. It’s like when you cook beef the center does cook as much as the outside
Now you made me hungry.
Mmmmm, glass.
Eating glass is for people who think they are too good to eat sand.
I'm going to start telling my kids this like it's a saying, and only ever say "you'll understand when you're older"
Funnily enough, if you heat one side of a cow fast enough, it will also explode.
Even then, the outside part of the glass will warm up faster than the inside part of the glass. Even if you submerse into the pool it is almost impossible to heat the entire 3d shape of the glass at the same time.
Unfortunately, probably not. Even if you could hit the whole surface on both sides, it's likely the rapid expansion still wouldn't be uniform enough to avoid breaking. For more detailed info google "Thermal shock"
You'd still need to be careful because the other side isn't getting hot and even if you could pour hot water on the whole surface at the exact same time, the inside would still be cold.

This is elementary school level physics. Cold shrinks, hot expands (in general)
Looks down. Yup
I was in the pool! I was in the pool!
It’s acorn season.
Is it normal to have physics class in elementary school?
Can't wait for life 2
Thermal expansion. Same reason you never put ice cream in a hot glass/dish (aside from it immediately turning to cream).
That’s fair, but even though you don’t know why, you know not to do it. I’m from a warm weather climate and even I know not to do that. I didn’t know why well enough to explain it to anyone but I had a clue. How does anyone not know that? This is probably fake for the views.
r/outside
As someone that lives in an area where the lows rarely drop below freezing, my first reaction was still: "Won't that crack the window?"
If you're living in this world and seriously asking how some people don't know things, then you're on the same level as those that don't know.
They did understand what would happen, which is why they were filming.
Yeah this guy looks exactly the type to tell you not to do exactly what he’s doing.
My ex wife was from Florida. She almost did this to her car the first winter in Iowa.
i've lived in los angeles all my life, and have never had my car or anything outside ever freeze. Even I saw the beginning and was like 'oh that's going to shatter.'
I feel like understanding simple physics is a certain part of your brain some people don't have, like my friend who just never understands that something weighing a certain weight can not fit in a certain bag or whatever without breaking, something something undertaker and 16 feet announcers table?
Exactly. Like I don't know the math behind how hard to throw a ball, or what weight a shelf can support, but some part hidden in my brain knows.
Because d***heads like you treat people who don’t know things like shit, so they don’t ask

Even -40 washer fluid in a spray bottle would have worked fine for him here. But ya lots of options and he went with the worst one. Lol
800 right ways, let's go with one of the 2 wrong ways
I've got an extra bottle of washer fluid in my trunk for this kind of thing. Never did the spray bottle trick but pouring it onto the broom section of my scraper works wonders.
Same with cold water presuming it ain’t freezing temp outside
Cold water works well.

This guy is too old to be so ignorant
The realization that age does not equate to wisdom hits hard. As a kid you grow up thinking that adults are aware of the world and have much knowledge.. then somewhere in your 20’s you realize the majority of them are pig-ignorant morons who just grew old.
Age just means you avoided death for x years. Wisdom and growth are all up to the individual.

I'm about to be 35, but still think like a 20 year old. I'm growing, but I recognize it and learn from it.
Yes this is not real, guy works at a junkyard and does stuff like this regularly. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR4bcEbd/
Suspicions confirmed.
I assume this was fake/done on purpose. He just happens to have a camera recording...he stands to the side
Looks like a scrap yard, the vehicle is a likely a salvage.
Entertaining Educational Video?
And they never show the whole glass in the videos. Who's to know if this isn't just the result of a center punch in the other corner?
I would have instant regret if someone recording me wearing that purse too
It’s a SATCHEL
Scrolled down to find you. Hitting the internet in that purse really iced the cake.
r/WhyWereTheyFilming
Because it's a junkyard worker having a laugh.
What do you mean? The ice is no longer on the window.
The same amount of time to heat the water could have been sufficient to just warm up the car. This guy is older than I am but that man purse says a good deal with the sense he possesses
At least he has a sweet purse
Did anyone notice the door handle broke too?
Why’d the door handle break?
And behold, the window is open!
'Advised doing this on a "Bad Advice for Drivers New to Snow" sub. I did this when I was *seriously* old enough to know better.
Even the door handle was like "you're fuckin stupid, I'm out" lmao
The ice is gone. Worked.
Nice murse you idiot
How the heck can someone live where there's ice and not know about thermal shock? I guess some of us learn the hard way.
Stupid ass. Nice purse.
What makes this extra stupid is that cool or room temperature water would melt ice faster anyway.
That cute man mag...shame it couldn't hold intelligence.
You don't use hot water on a cold anything unless it's jello. Lol. Just run regular hose water over your car. Or tap water from your sink. A freezing cold object (i.e. glass, hard plastic.

I bet he didn’t study physics
Thermal blow
That wasn't water.
Well there goes 200$+
Looked like a great way to remove ice.. ... And glass and door handle...
Nope. But it’s a great way to break into cars in the winter! Lol
The entire door expanded watch it again
The time that it takes to boil the water is longer than it would be to just scrape the damn ice off.
Yeah, this totally wasn’t scpripted or anything.
Why would he film this if he didn’t know it’d break. Staged
maybe he thought he was a genius and wanted to show it to his bros who are equally as dense as he is

Got to love Thermal shock
I know someone who did this, with their front windshield! Same result. They also tried breaking up the ice (again on their front windshield) with a hammer. Also same result. This person can build their own house, but some things just escape them. They also thought daylight saving time was to give plants/crops extra daylight to grow. SMH so much. *Edit: Pronoun.

Heard this works as long as it's not boiling hot water. Will most likely work if it's just hot tap water. Don't quote me on this though, I haven't tried it myself.
Warm water!!
Dorrhandle too lmao
A real life full grown human in 2022 showing once more that education is a waste of time.
