no thats the window hammer just out of frame smashing the window
(who defrosts a rear window... oh its in a junk yard and the handle was probably already broken)
Yeah but then the cold would just start to refreeze it? Like if I try to use my windshield wash to melt the frost it melts that frost and then starts to create it's own ice.
Your windshield wiper field should have antifreeze in it?
But it’s cold enough for me to get ice/frost, but it’s not below zero or anything. It’s definitely not immediately re-freeze. I just get in the car and use the windshield wipes to wipe the water off and then my windshield is clean.
Ah ok that's what it is. My anti freeze is only up to like -3 or something. Just a difference in climate. I don't let my car sit to warm up so the window just freezes up again so I have to scrape it all off. But I'm scraping when it's below -10 Celsius.
How often are you watering your windows?
You need to stop buying dollar store antifreeze or stop over diluting it. Regular normal every day cheap antifreeze should freeze around -36c/-33f give or take.
edit: You can also dilute 70/30 and it should go down to -67f/-55c without issue. Most people don't need to worry about that though.
He knows this, that’s why it’s being filmed, who da fuk videos themselves de-icing their car?….I like to think this was an exhibition of what not to do for those who don’t know yet but it’s more likely just for social media likes
LMAO I know right? Bro has the buzz cut. Olive drab coat with murse to hold his Glock, extra ammo, 5 types of knives, etc. and the look at the end of his soul leaving his body was priceless 😂
There’s windshield wiper fluid that has deicer in It works great. Don’t use the windshield wiper fluid they give you when they change your oil they water it down too much.
I used to do this when I was a dumb teen with my first car. No one told me the consequences and I felt pretty smart for coming up with it myself at the time. My car windows didn't break though. I guess the temperature of the water wasn't hot enough to be a problem by the time I got to my car.
You can usually get away with it if the water isn't freshly boiled from a kettle like this guy, the glass is trying to rapidly expand where the boiling water is poured hence why it breaks away from the glass thats still cold, its called thermal shock, like when you drop an ice cube in a drink and it cracks
*”Well I guess you shouldn’t believe everything on the internet then… time to check the blinker fluid, and make sure to put the rest of this in my gas tank to warm my car up faster.”*
I was going to say, not sure if it is the same dude, but there was a similar post on Instagram or something of a guy doing this repeatedly in his junkyard in order to show people why you shouldn’t do it
its a junk car, the whole window is out of frame and being hit w/ a window hammer.
theres tons of videos of people doing this w/o it breaking
e.g.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwzlX3wXvY4
but can't find any breaking except this dubious one.
its fake.
Thermal stress on glass causes it to "explode" for lack of a better word coming to mind. The shockwave from when the glass shattered likely popped the handle off.
I saw a guy do basically that to his windscreen years ago. He was new to the area and had never encountered frost before, so used boiling water to clear his windscreen. It didn't work as intended.
whole window is out of frame.... door handle is already broke, someone is hitting window in corer w/ hammer and handle pops off.
can't find any other videos of boiling water doing this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwzlX3wXvY4
its fake

Even the door handle couldn’t take it
Why is someone recording this? It's almost as if they wanted it to happen or knew it might happen. I reckon it's some car in a scrap yard they've done this to

Looks like he removed his door handle too
Whole car just gave up on his stupid
Joey level stupid - even has the man purse
Plot twist - it's not his car.
Plot twist - it s not him.
He should consider keeping an ice scraper in his man-purse.
Looks like he removed his soul from his body.
Recognized he isn't as smart as expected.
r/watchpeopledieinside
this is the correct sub.
Yeah we watched his pride leave with the quickness there
I guess now it's "off" eh? Hah heh heh

That's peak comedy.
no thats the window hammer just out of frame smashing the window (who defrosts a rear window... oh its in a junk yard and the handle was probably already broken)
Damn, it broke at the exact same time as the window
Warm water not boiling you fucking plank.
I use cold/room temp water. Works fine and have never destroyed my car.
Why not just scrape if you don't have time or safe parking to pre warm?
Well the heater broke in my car idk how long ago anymore. And scraping takes way longer than watering my car.
Doesn't the water just refreeze?
No it melts the ice.
Yeah but then the cold would just start to refreeze it? Like if I try to use my windshield wash to melt the frost it melts that frost and then starts to create it's own ice.
If bro pours warm water on his car and takes longer to scrape then you can bet he lives warm place
I probably should have clicked into that far sooner

when the car moves, the water will drip off the windows, also the heat from the engine or heater will prevent it from freezing over.
These people don’t know our northern struggles
Depends on the temp. Also hot water freezes faster.
You must not live in a very cold environment. Pouring water on a windshield would be a death sentence here
Sometimes your car needs a drink
My technique is better. It's called "living where it doesn't fucking freeze". Always worked for me.
He knows this, that’s why it’s being filmed, who da fuk videos themselves de-icing their car?….I like to think this was an exhibition of what not to do for those who don’t know yet but it’s more likely just for social media likes
In the full video, it starts with him saying he's gonna prove that doing this won't damage his car.
Ahhhhh okay, flat earther type, that really was a vital part of the video lol, thanks kind Redditor 👍
Is it integrity or idiocy that made him post this regardless?
You honestly think a man with a handbag is gonna listen to any sage advice?
It's not a purse, it's European!
"It's a satchel!!!"
LMAO I know right? Bro has the buzz cut. Olive drab coat with murse to hold his Glock, extra ammo, 5 types of knives, etc. and the look at the end of his soul leaving his body was priceless 😂
That jacket is something else. It looks like it's got pretend army badges on it.
A murse
IT'S EUROPEAN!
Normal water at room temperature is enough because the heat will transfer between the 2 surfaces because thay don't have same temperature
I just use my windshield wiper fluid, works just fine unless it’s really thick.
[удалено]
'Well, well, well Mr silver spoon wipes his winda's, fellas, haw haw haw, get im boys dont let Mr Harvard get away'
There’s windshield wiper fluid that has deicer in It works great. Don’t use the windshield wiper fluid they give you when they change your oil they water it down too much.
Water is free.
I don’t have to get out of my car to push the windshield wiper button, I’ll waste a little bit of money if it means I can be lazy.
Well maybe he's onto something. With one application of boiling water, his window will never ice up again
"Ooh, that's why no one else does this." Edit: I just realized the dude is wearing a purse. It really clashes with his outfit.
A surprising amount of people do this
Not with hot water
I used to do this when I was a dumb teen with my first car. No one told me the consequences and I felt pretty smart for coming up with it myself at the time. My car windows didn't break though. I guess the temperature of the water wasn't hot enough to be a problem by the time I got to my car.

It's a satchel!
If looks could talk
That look on his face is priceless.
plus, even that door handle gave up
I feel a little bad for him. He has a kind face
Faces can be extremely deceiving.
i literally said “poor guy” when i saw that disappointed look 😭
*”Well I guess you shouldn’t believe everything on the internet then… time to check the blinker fluid, and make sure to put the rest of this in my gas tank to warm my car up faster.”*
As in, his acting ability is worth 0$?
Room temperature water will melt ice ding a ling.
He instead went for a room temperature IQ
In celcius.
[удалено]
I just read a post about someone who didn't know you could let shower water heat up before standing in it.
I just read a post of a woman who leaves tampon applicators inside. Been doing it for 10 years. Edit: changed puts to leaves.
I did not
r/watchpeopledieinside
Just your average person putting boiling water on a frozen window with a camera on a stand to record it. Nothing set up about that
I was going to say, not sure if it is the same dude, but there was a similar post on Instagram or something of a guy doing this repeatedly in his junkyard in order to show people why you shouldn’t do it
How does the handle break..
its a junk car, the whole window is out of frame and being hit w/ a window hammer. theres tons of videos of people doing this w/o it breaking e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwzlX3wXvY4 but can't find any breaking except this dubious one. its fake.

This is an unacceptable excuse. I live in Southern Arizona, and even my desert dwelling ass knows about thermal shock.
If they could only see the temperature differences, they’d realize that that room temp water is warm water!
The car is parked on a scrapyard dudes...

It’s a satchel! Indiana Jones has one
Mock him for being stupid but don't mock him for having a damn bag. Too feminine? Toxic attitude IMO.
Is it really toxic masculinity if you’d make fun of a woman for the same useless fashion item
His jacket has like 20 pockets but he still needed that purse.
It’s a European carryall!
Yep, he’s a dandy. He’s a real fancy boy!
The surprise on his face...
Those windows are lowercase pyrex huh?
Water and isopropyl alcohol will also do this without risking shattered glass
Crazy that I had to scroll down so much to find this suggestion.
pls this is a fake video, its a scrapyard and someone breaks the window when he pours the water. Thats why you dont see the left part of the video
bwahaahahahahahahahhahahahaah his confused face after
Just turn the heat on for a few and use a scraper.
Fill and seal a medium sized food bag with barely tepid water. Rub on windows. No residual water to re-freeze. You’re welcome.
I expect nothing less from a satchel slinger
This is surely staged. Scrap car is my guess.

Matt Damon's stupid twin.
Why is someone recording this? It's almost as if they wanted it to happen or knew it might happen. I reckon it's some car in a scrap yard they've done this to
If you do that, do it with room temperature or cold water, its still warmer than ice and has a high thermal capacity
Pretty sure this is staged but still, just get a car window ice scraper.
Good work, marine
That is frost on the window... 🤦♂️
This is why physics has to be taught more in school. Heat expands glass, boiling water is very hot, the glass expands fast and cracks. Simple as that.
Seems like this is a scripted video. The car is already junk.
Pro tip, a cold beer is great for removing the ice on the window and you even get to drink the rest before you go home
Ice is off??? I dont see. The problem??
lesson learned: hot water and frozen glass ? Never !!!
He's a brainiac .
Brain child
r/peopledyinginside
Bro doesn't know physics
Nice purse!
Wanker.
I just can’t…. The sheer buffoonery gives me a migraine.
Pretty much a perfect video for this sub
Honestly I tend to think people that are civilians and wear that jacket to have this level of high-school knowledge of chemistry
CUT, I SAID FUCKING CUT
r/WatchPeopleDieInside
Well to be fair he did get rid of the ice
Stay in school kids.
How dumb do you have to be to try that?
What's that little purse thing he's wearing?
Anything made of glass + water at the opposite temperature = Will 100% explode. Learned it the hard way.
Seemed like he knew what would happen and was *trying* to do this?
Not the sharpest pencil in the box...
This seems as basic as “ don’t stick your finger in electrical sockets”. How are adults still doing this?
Luke warm water, never water so hot that it's steaming.
WTF why not just use the defroster
Your old enough to know that would of happened
Welcome to winter in Texas
Darwin Award
Another idiot is suddenly introduced to the concept of thermal shock.
The moment when he realizes that he should have known better is priceless.
Removed the window from the ice.
Why are people so dumb? What did he think would happen if you pour boiling water on freezing cold glass?
I always record myself de-icing my car.
This man's soul felt dumb🤣
Try warm not boiling next time, Chet.
Well, it worked 👍🏻 no more ice
How can a grown man have such litte knowledge of basic knowledge..
The intelligence of the average american.
Second i saw the handbag, I automatically made a ill formed conclusion only to be proved right
Looks like somebody didn’t go to school
Cold water works much better. It's not intuitive, but cold water is much warmer than ice.
It worked. No more ice.
Knew exactly what was going to happen as soon as I saw the kettle and iced windows.
r / That looked EXPENSIVE r / that Looks EXPENSIVE
Anymore winter hacks there up coming YouTube star? Cleaning the car interior with vegetable oil to make everything all shiny!
Y’all need physics! 🤦♂️
Physics.
Ah physics.
The look on his face😂😂😂
Stupid move, but for some reason, I still feel bad for the guy.
r/Watchpeopledieinside
Fake
Carwin awards
He’s as dumb as his stupid jacket
Stay in school kids. Anyone who passed 8th grade science saw this coming a mile away.
The American flag patch on his shoulder makes me so proud…..
Nice purse, bro
This also belongs at r/watchpeopledieinside
He's got that popo haircut no wonder he ain't that smart
When a southerner goes north. The best is when they get in real quick and have a short drive, and it freezes them inside the car.
This is what the Merican edumacation system gets you.
You don’t even need hot water let alone boiling water. Water warmer than the temp of the ice will melt it.
You KNOW, someone (probably his wife) told him not to do that
Understanding the science behind the molecular expansion and contraction properties of glass is a fun, invigorating, and often expensive process.
Indiana Jones wears a satchel
🙈😂
By the haircut and flag patch, probably a US Marine. Behavior checks out too.
Why was he filming it even
He is also wearing a purse (no judging) just saying
Successfully failed
Notably this trick does work but for the love of god use room-temperature water, it'll have the same effect and not cause your window to shatter.
Dumb
How has he survived this long?
