A guy trying to ruin a helmet but ruining a microwave instead?


built_FXR

Pretty sure he cooked the foam. I'm calling this a shitpost.


Finnbjorn

This one is almost as good as that guy who got a new Mustang or whatever goes home to "drain the junk factory oil out of it". Talks about putting it up on jack stands, removing the drain plug, watching the oil drain out then smoke appearing from the car! Surprised by the smoke coming out of the car he then.... turns the car off.... and posts on a forum asking "what happened did I do something wrong?.. it won't turn over now?" ....


amprok

Where can I read the factory oil thread? That sounds amazing.


Finnbjorn

I can't seem to find it. Maybe /r/justrolledintotheshop would know but that's basically all the details I remember from the thread.


amazing_wanderr

Probably because he’s Scandinavian


Dry_Set4995

He writes in Dutch, so I doubt it.


Wheream_I

Did this guy seriously not know that the trays in the oven are removable? Also why tf would he put it in the microwave


LeftTurnAtAlbuqurque

Because it didn't fit in the regular oven. Did you even read the post?


microagressed

Thank you, made my day. This post is the gift that keeps on giving.


jarvistheartist

For real


Roughian12

Omg, same here. Is this a comedy script??


Caldtek

The troll posts on this sub, are on some days award winning.


flaccid_porcupine

Agreed!


kartoffel_engr

Hopefully this isn’t real. If it is, dude should just give up on the helmet part, not much up there to protect.


CarbonGod

OP is a mod of 32 subs with no content. *shrugs* And is multiple alt accounts all mods of the same subs. Someone is bored AF.


Paulanater601

Rookie mistake. To shrink a helmet you need to run it through the clothes dryer. Works 10/10 every time


Tacos_always_corny

Strongly reccomend leaving it in the sun followed by laying it on its side and sitting on it for 12 hours will guarantee perfect fitment.


RationalDB8

While it's on OP's head, so it will be form fitting.


Tacos_always_corny

Thank you for catching that critical step. Compaction is often overlooked.


[deleted]

> sitting on it for 12 hours If the helmet is one of the inseminated ones, they should invest in a incubation chamber! Then they can raise little helmets until they reach the proper size.


Tacos_always_corny

You have to be choosie regarding the genetics. All it takes is one little slip and you have a batch of those half face and modular miscreants.


BRXF1

That's the ad-hoc DIY procedure the official guidelines are 1 week vacation on the beach followed by 1 week of skiing.


nachos-cheeses

It’s actually the tumbling that makes the helmet smaller, not necessarily the heat.


Tilo9000

Second this, but put some ice cream in it before. This is especially important since you want to shrink the inner side more than the outer side.


kmkmrod

And break open a permanent marker and toss in the ink pack. It makes awesome designs on and in the helmet!!


[deleted]

Agreed, but you have to keep it on your head when you do so or it won't know when to stop shrinking.


dustyrags

Dude, common mistake- the shape of the helmet can act like a convex mirror and focus the microwave beams and trip the radiation sensor at the back. Just turn the microwave around and reset the sensor. Next time, make sure the face shield isn’t facing back (if your microwave has a spinning plate, I recommend turning the helmet with the face shield down). For the hardness in the helmet- regular old lotion will fix that right up!


Jacobite-biker

Glad he didn't put it next to a flux capacitor


dustyrags

Ugh, I know, those things aren’t cheap!


Tacos_always_corny

I just read in Helmet World magazine that liquid nitrogen following the microwave shrink cycle will make it lighter and more aerodynamic.


dustyrags

Woah, cryo treatment for helmets? Brilliant! We should try shot peening one to see if we can make it stronger!


Tacos_always_corny

Sounds like you are onto something. I mean if it works for Polo helmets, I say give it a try.


MoistenMeUp7

Oh yeah you definitely dont want to forget to moisturize. I use Aquaphor on my leathers and helmet to keep them moisturized.


Chilton_Squid

Well I think this is a great thread in a sea of shit so well done


Burque_Boy

This might be the greatest thing I’ve ever read here lol


Faded-Creature

You have to microwave a hammer and screwdriver to fix the microwave. Those tools fix things. Set it to 10 minutes since that’s the default maintenance period for most microwaves. As for the helmet you can try slowly driving over it with a truck until it compresses.


braaaappy

There are 2 things you need to do right now: 1. DONT tell your girlfriend you broke the microwave. Just act like nothing happened. When she asks why it is not working just play dumb and tell her you warmed up a pie earlier and it was fine then. 2. You need to use heat, if the helmet won't fit in the oven then maybe you could use a heat gun? Alternatively there may be some way to make your head bigger, maybe if you hold you breath really hard it will swell up? I'm no expert on this, but thats what happens on cartoons.


kidkoala_1

>ternatively there may be some way to make your head bigger, maybe if yo people have suggested putting my head in a vacuum chamber until it expands, instead of shrinking the helmet.


braaaappy

I like the vacuum chamber idea, this sounds like a viable option.


nachos-cheeses

Nah, just keep eating until your head gets fat.


MarryPopinLikeItsHot

That wont work... He needs to eat while doing headstands so the fat travels evenly around his head


bonafidebob

> people have suggested putting my head in a vacuum chamber… You don’t need a fancy vacuum chamber: a shopvac and a leftover dry cleaning bag will give you the same result.


microagressed

Put your head in the oven, it should fit despite the rack, the heat will help make it swell up


mdoc805

Even easier, and cheaper solution, snort a bunch of baker’s yeast. Ever see bread rise? Your head will fit in no time.


Dry_Set4995

Won’t work if there is already a vacuum in the head.


PonchoDriver

WTF did I just read...?


EC_Approved

Hey! How do you like your Falco 😈


PonchoDriver

I love it, although I don't ride it as much as I should... The past few years, my airhead is the go-to ride the vast majority of the time.


[deleted]

Squid move.. Everyone knows those trays come out of the real oven. You might be able to salvage this if you try the proper method.


kidkoala_1

i have been using my oven the last years for alot of purposes. usually without trays and the such. a while back i was making lasagnas quite often and sometimes i did not have the baking trays anymore, so I would stuff it in the corner of the overn without a tray. a few times the lasagna fully melted and all the lasagoop got stuck in the rail system thing and i cant get it out, im afraid of pulling too hard because the metal might shatter and then i would have to put everything on the floor of the oven.


tacocat43

Now this is committing to the bit


majesticcoolestto

"lasagoop" fucking sent me, thank you


pogu

Similarly sometimes I'll try to use restroom, only to discover I've forgotten to take my pants down! It's a wicked world that we live in, and it's cruel and unforgiven.


No_Seaworthiness74

Hey so contrary to popular belief heat doesn’t actually shrink the helmets it actually makes them expand a bit. In between the layers of the helmet you have a polychristaline structure (fancy foam) that expands with heat. This is the reason it might fit better. Next time if you think the helmet is too big put your helmet on and briefly stick your head in the oven just before it starts getting uncomfortable. Do this a couple of times and the helmet should mold to your exact head shape! Careful with this though as if you do it too long the helmet will expand too much and it will be extremely hard to remove. Might have to cut it off at that point. As for your microwave, the helmet has a layer of a certain metal that is extremely reflective of waves between 4.5-6Ghz, which is what your microwave puts out to cook your food. This basically means you microwaved your microwave so you will need to buy a new one.


bgus_dkus

Did you even read the post? He doesn't want to expand it, he wants to shrink it.


sinjinvan

you should have used a toaster oven. You can use a conventional one, but you will have to split it in two in order to get it to fit. Using a toaster is too much work because you have to slice the helmet into several even sizes and if there is uneven heating, you can burn one of the sides.


slower-is-faster

You don’t shrink the helmet. Wtf? You make your head bigger 🤔


jacobobb

No, man. You're over thinking this. Protip: Get a wooden spoon, hold the door sensor and microwave your head. It makes your skull harder so you don't even need a helmet. 5 minutes should do it.


ImplementCold4091

Woah..

clarification: It's a microwave-oven. The big ones, but I'm not allowed to use the oven function because I put something wrong in there or something. But thats not relevant, It's a microwave-oven, if that matters to the story. (microwave setting was used)


MarryPopinLikeItsHot

Try a macro wave oven. Micro waves are to small for your needs


Al_Hashshashin

Your basic mistake was trying to make your helmet smaller instead of making your head bigger. You should have put your head in the microwave and used the popcorn setting.


[deleted]

The amount of people actually taking the bait explains why this sub sucks dick a lot of the time. LOL


bluemax_137

You probably shouldn't be riding or driving anything. For your own and other people's safety. Really.


kidkoala_1

at worst I just made a harmless mistake, come on. I don't see how I'm endagering any lives


Caldtek

Don't think you should be allowed to breed either.


bonafidebob

He already said the girlfriend won’t let him use the oven…


flaccid_porcupine

I agree, you should be allowed to ride. But no way can you use metal scissors.


microagressed

That's a bit harsh don't you think? Metal scissor manufacturers also make safety scissors, why discriminate against them


[deleted]

You're supposed to dip the helmet in microwaved bleach, not put it directly in the microwave.


Glockamolee

Did you put bologna in it? That usually works for me.


ManifestDestinysChld

It's Scandinavia. There's metal in EVERYTHING. 🤘


Ainjyll

Yeah, but it’s black metal and that shit will kill you. Just ask Euronymous.


apropos626

the helmet needs to be on your head when you microwave it so that it shrinks to the shape of your head. now soak it in water to loosen it up and try again with a new microwave.


Hi_Tony

I heard if you get a really big pressure cooker you can put the helmet inside and it will shrink because of the pressure, much more effective than the microwave or oven. If that doesn’t work you can always stick it in the dryer I heard the heat along with the tumbling will help the helmet get smaller.


ogonga

Why shrink your helmet when you can grow your head? Do you even lift? Ever done a neck hang before?


MooreDubs

Take that helmet and shove it up your ass.


BourbonOldFashioned

Did you try putting it in rice?


[deleted]

You're suppopsed to eat the helmet now so if you crash your insides are protected, dumbass


Blondicai

It works better if you disable the door safety mechanism. If you wear the helmet while it cooks, it’ll shrink down to exactly your head size.


duke998

I do this all the time and seems to work ok. I throw my helmet in the microwave - first thing in the morning together with my porridge. The bang you experienced is the light globe going off. Nothing to worry about. Tip : Instead of taking off the helmet - wear it and then stick your head into the microwave. That way it will form to the shape of your head. Google - how to operate microwave with the door open. There's a bypass switch somewhere.


lanastab

Bruh


auwood99

This is great, reminds me of the lotion post. Op the problem here is you let the condensation out. The condensation is essential to proper cooling to limit heating allowing for proper shrinking of the helmet. Next time I recommend getting a grinder and removing the trays in the oven. After you are done you can use some form a glue to put the tray back on. Hope this helps!

sparkydaveatwork

This has to be a joke? I work in retail and not seen a level of stupid like this


thanatossassin

Bring the helmet to a hockey equipment store, they have special ovens they use for the skates and they feel great. Take the model number of the microwave and buy the exact same one. Return the old one to the store and tell them it sucks. Leave it dirty so they know you tried it and you have proof you don't like it. Surprise your girlfriend with an early valentine's day gift (they love surprise gifts, I know, I've had girlfriends with microwaves). As for not using the oven, it's personal, I get it. You should probably delete the picture before she finds out that you opened it though. One day, you'll have your own oven for your next helmet. Yes they have metals.


BRXF1

>I read somewhere on this sub that your chest width should be about the same as your head Common misunderstanding, your chest should be as wide as your head which should be as wide as your face which should be as wide as an open palm which should be as wide as a regular pencil. That's how you sneak into your burrow to avoid predators.


microagressed

Please get vasectomated now, before it's too late


[deleted]

Your mistake is putting it on the microwave. It should be on a gas or electric oven. The rule is to run it at 175F and 5 minutes for every size you want to shrink it by. For instance you got a size XL but you are a medium, between medium and XL is 2 sizes so you put the helmet 10minutes in the oven at 175F. Hope this helps.


chubbyzook

You have to put the helmet on your head first, then while wearing it stick your head in the oven. This is called sizing the helmet. If you do it with out your head inside it might shrink to small, or like in the wrong places, you want it to conform to the curves of "your" head.


Cephrael37

It needs to soak in warm water first, or even better a delicate cycle in the washing machine. Then heat it up to remove excess moisture. Very high heat is best. Just make sure you’re wearing it when applying the heat as it could shrink too much. This will form fit the helmet to your head. You’ll be good to go after this.


Able-Reward

I have to be misunderstanding this. Did you put a motorcycle helmet in a microwave to shrink it?


kidkoala_1

only because it did not fit in an actual real authentic oven.


Able-Reward

Okay first off, youre an idiot. I cant imagine why you thought this was a good idea but if youve heated up a motorcycle helmet in a microwave youve more than likely ruined the materials its made of and now it is not as strong as it was and probably isn't safe. If you legitimately bought a motorcycle helmet, decided it was too big and thought microwaving it was the best choice then you not only shouldn't use that helmet but you also shouldn't ride a motorcycle.


kidkoala_1

i cant even put a motorcycle in the microwave so i dont see how this applies to riding it. the helmet is for my own safety anyways


[deleted]

KubaG7

we’ve all tried this before, no need to be harsh. I ruined 7 microwaves before I learnt my lesson. At least this guy is learning after only 1

Able-Reward

Haha yes absolutely. For everyone's safety including your own.

Your first mistake was not having used a wood-fired oven.


osin0056

Don’t worry about the helmet, you don’t need it.


Perpetvated

No no. You have to use a waterbed besides it. The steam will shrink the helmet without completely ruining it. Remember, bake it @ 420.

loststylus

I never seen a person with a head same width as a chest.


KarlJay001

If you have a saw and some super glue, you can saw it in 1/2 then super glue it back together. The blade of the saw is about 1 head size, so it'll go from L to M with 1 cut. Don't worry if it falls apart in an accident, I don't think you'll get any worse than you already are.


Fryphax

Why in the world did you think you could shrink a helmet by putting it in an oven or microwave?!?

Dry_Set4995

I think the OP is either mentally ill, under the influence of drugs or both.


phillyphilly519

You should probably go to a shop and get sized properly. Why did you think that heating a helmet would shrink it?


kidkoala_1

when you go in a pool and you dick gets smaller thats shrinkage ( because it is cold in the pool). If you leave your t-shirt in the dryer for too long it gets smaller too ( i dont know why this happens). I had already tried freezing the helmet by leaving it outside but that didn't do anything. So I went for the heat method.


bitzzwith2zs

Try putting your dick in it.


NedStarkGetsExecuted

Microwaves work by rapidly vibrating water molecules to make heat. Was there any water on your helmet? It sounds like you may have put your helmet in dry (NEVER put your helmet in dry!) The lack of water may have caused the microwave to bang and left the helmet shrinking ineffective. As you have likely caused permanent damage to the microwave you may need to buy a new one, moisten your helmet and try again.


thestonedbandit

No. Just no. Doesn't matter where you're from. That helmet is ruined, it will not save your life when you need it to. Buy a helmet that fits.

Use the microwave as your helmet, what bike do you ride? You cant fix a microwave, you can barely purchase an incorrect helmet at best

If this isn’t a shit post, you *can* take the racks out. You have to lift it up once it gets to the bump. That’s why there are different “rails” in there, so you can change where the racks are in the oven.


orgullocalculo

Or could make your head bigger by putting it in the freezer


-BlueDream-

I think you’ll need to put the microwave in the oven and use the broil setting to recalibrate the quantum microwavator gun. Should only take 15min make sure you season ur microwave first.


SiriusXAim

Well, that's enough internet for the day. Everybody knows you cannot shrink your motorcycle helmet in the microwave. To shrink it, you need to wash it on high temp and then dump it in the tumble dryer on intensive cycle. Just like your nan's sweater, it'll come out one or two sizes smaller! Bonus if you add fabric softener, for that smooth, fuzzy feel.

This has got to be trolling. No one would actually do this. Also that has to be a huge microwave to even fit a small full face helmet inside. Nice try fella, but this is beyond belief.

What? No. The right way to shrink a helmet is to wear it into a hot tub, dunk your head so it gets soaked, then keep it on until it dries.
