We can’t all be top-tier engineers but we can have some pretty nifty ideas now and again. There’s no promising those ideas will be any good or actually work, but we have ’em!
This list is a collection of said ideas with most of them only kinda working.
RELATED STORIES
“[…] Spaghetti on an artisan drying rack.”
Anything can be artisanal if you just say it is. It’s a self-appointed label.
“The whiteboard wasn’t high enough so our teacher did this.”
I mean…yeah. Sure. I guess. A little precarious but it gets the job done.
“In the future I see myself building bridges all over the world.”
What was the intended goal here? Could the cactus not be placed under the lamp on its own?
“A Venetian hearse.”
That certainly is one way to go out in style.
“If it works then why not?”
I can think of many, many reasons why not, the biggest being that it working is weather dependent.
One hefty gust of wind and it’s over for this setup.
“Stylish office hair clips.”
Functional, sure, but saying this is stylish is a bit of a stretch.
“The ‘insulation’ in this older Toronto home.”
If they were going to go this route, the least they could do is finish it!
“Ski racks are too expensive anyway.”
That looks like a decently sized van, could they not just put the snowboard in the trunk?
“So… The analog stick’s head broke and I end up gluing a cork from a wine bottle… I like it.”
Well…as long as you like it! That’s really all that matters so I’ll withhold any other comments.
“The way they put sunflower cutouts to white balloons makes it look like eyeballs.”
Happy spring! Here’s to being invaded by one-eyed aliens!
‘I made a guitar out of a toilet seat. I do not know why.”
At least they admit to having no reasoning. This is also, surprisingly, not the worst guitar I’ve ever seen.
“Broke my chair and wanted to sit outside so I made one.”
It probably works just fine but your back is going to hate you for this.
“This sign at my town’s nature reserve is written in English and Dog.”
Not sure what this could possibly say in dog seeing as dogs can’t use plastic bags.
“Downspout too short? Antler.”
Oh yeah, the antler that everyone just has on hand, collecting dust in their house.
“Banana Holder.”
The bungee cord is a nice choice given the hook, which makes it mobile and universal.
“I needed to organize my cables.”
Surely there was an easier, better-looking way to do it but I appreciate the effort.
“Made a brake for my Ripstik/waveboard out of a mouse trap.”
Never before have I seen a Ripstik mod but I’m glad they exist. Shows some real passion for the sport.
“A tow truck broke down while towing a car, requiring a second tow truck to step in.”
I’m worried this will become an endless cycle if that tow truck doesn’t get them to a mechanic quick.
“Put a rubber band around the inside of the pockets of your shorts and never have to worry about your phone or keys on a run.”
I don’t have to worry about that anymore, but I do have to worry about a tight ball of metal slapping me in the thigh with every step.
“A kid in my Latin class didn’t have a piece of paper, so he wrote his quiz on an orange. The teacher accepted it.”
Pretty short quiz if it can be written on an orange. The further along in school you go, the bigger fruits you’re going to need.
