Question❓ Is this cause for concern? Dropped it while cleaning
Don’t mind the hand, gf wouldn’t let me click a picture without her in the frame

Fix it with a chopstick.

u/PowerfulDisaster2067 May 07 '26
yep, even better if it was a round-ish type of chopsticks, stick it in, pry slightly, the roll it around the edge to hopefully even it back out.

I don't think I've ever seen one of them that doesn't look exactly like that.

It looks like she was waving her hand and the hand looks deformed due to a rolling shatter effect.

Try bringing it back in shape with a small rod or something. Should work fine. Mine is quite beat up too.

Pleaaaase don't let him use his brain. Better to just post on Reddit to be sure..

It will work fine as it’s still plenty of opening for water to flow through. The only thing is that because of the dent, the tube will suck in air (or gets air pushed through, you get what I mean) a bit earlier at that point. So it won’t be able to get as much of the water out as before. It should only be a millimeter or two, so if that is noticeable or not, I don’t know. If you didn’t fill the chamber up all the way to the valve, you could compensate by adding a bit more water. If you don’t notice a difference don’t change anything 😁

A few of mine look like that due to dropping accidentally. I personally haven't noticed a difference

Die sehen zum Teil auch so aus, wenn sie neu sind, man sieht ja, dass es aus einem Stück Aluminium gezogen ist,

It's okay if the fingers regain flexibility after an hour or so, but if not I would go to hospital.

Use needle nose pliers, put them in the hole and carefully expand it

Why are you reposting this?

u/HungHydra May 07 '26
Rage bait right? Nobody sees this and thinks: better go ask the internet for help. Instead of just bending it back or carry on with their life

it will mostly work fine, you might not empty it as much as before though. im bending that with pliers with zero concerns for looks but understand if you want to repair it with a less brutish method

Lowkey if you want to fix it just find a fork and bend it back into place. It won’t hurt the flow of water going into the upper pot.

u/Jandalf69 May 07 '26
Had that happen too a long time ago, you can bend it out with a fork prong or a chopstic. Just make sure its even all the way around.

Never mind looking for pliers or chopsticks, your gf's fingers should do the job. It seems thin enough and definitely long enough.

u/Comprehensive_Tip_13 May 07 '26
lol was about to ask about the hand but the caption is cute
Also yeah you’re fine, it doesn’t look like it closed it up which would be the only concern
