As children, we approach every idea without a shred of doubt or worry. We think of ourselves as geniuses and gifts to the world of invention.
As we grow older, though, we become less likely to try and act on our grand designs. Not the people in this list, though. No, they had the courage needed to try their ideas, and you’ll get to judge the end results!
RELATED STORIES
“The local blood bank have these signs to show how much blood they have.”
This is so fancy and so cool! I’d want to donate just to watch the bar go up as I leave.
“This gumball machine just dispenses random plastic cubes labeled with their Pantone colour names. For 300 yen ($3) each.”
These are so…nothing. They’re nothing objects. They’re a plastic block of color. And yet, I want one so, so badly.
“Finally something to do with an old CD Rack: a ramen holder.”
You could construct a suit of armor and an accompanying shield with the amount of ramen you have stocked.
“A reminder for parents to not be assholes.”
Kudos to this league for putting out the reminder, but parents who would act like this aren’t going to be deterred by some words on a board.
“I too like sharing my taste in music with everyone.”
My condolences to whoever lives within a 10-mile radius of this guy, who definitely always returns home at reasonable hours with his volume low.
“I recently moved and need to get an actual bunk bed desk, so I had to improvise in the mean time.”
I’ve never felt such immediate fear and concern. This isn’t the way, please, get the expensive electronics down from there.
Cool reuse.
Those extremely tiny Tupperware containers that are supposed to be for sauce but you never use them? Repurpose them as ice cube molds and feel your fanciness levels rise.
“Spider cow (in front of a $1.9M house).”
A subtle reminder to everyone that you’re so rich you can do whatever you want. No purchase is too frivolous.
“Cradle of fear.”
Or, a method of traumatizing your kid early and swiftly.
“Was told to post my cars new headliner […].”
You can never get lost when you have a map installed in your ceiling!
“Plastic tabletop on a cypress tree stump. Florida redneck beach gear.”
In a few years that tree’s going to be too tall to be used as a table anymore, then it’ll just be a tree with a tabletop on it.
It sure it something.
This is a lot. A lot’s going on here. Not sure what the thought process of the person who built this was, but it sure wasn’t linear.
“[My] grandad’s been bending spoons to rest on the sides of pots since before [I] was born.”
It seems like a good idea, but that one change is so strange it’s making my head hurt.
“This door to a glasses shop. The nose bridge is the door handle!”
Perfect for the employees to get a face and thigh shot of their customers before they walk in the door.
“My current collection of 416 can koozies.”
Every can in your home must be ice cold. No room temperature drinks allowed.
“Sealant foam is one way to fix a hole in your soft top.”
It sure is a way. Not the best way by any means, but a way.
“Generic store-brand peanut butter stuffed pretzels use Velcro instead of traditional zip tie to close up bag!”
From one plastic seal to another, but this one just seems so much nicer.
“Someone put hinges in this log to hide stuff.”
Not a bad idea. After all, most people don’t go around trying to open random logs like you did. Who would look there?
“Streetlight engineering level 100.”
“No one looks that closely at streetlights, and the glass is beyond our budget right now. It’ll work, just trust me on this.”
“Got this in at work to be recycled. Complete with lighter and ashtray.”
