The history of humanity is littered with genius innovators who, through their spectacular inventions, helped to change the course of human history. However, don't expect to find anyone of this calibre on this list.
So, from shoes made from the most dangerous material possible to highway strip poles, here are 16+ hilarious inventions that made us go, "Why?"
I bet that anything you play on it sounds like crap. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that The 1975 exclusively recorded with this guitar!
I know that it is quite trendy to not use plates these days, but this is a step too far! It's making me feel a little sick and I don't know why.
Ah yes, broken glass, that famously pleasant substance to walk on. $30 seems pretty cheap for cut up feet though!
Okay, so it might not be an "invention" as such, but it is so horrifically hideous that I simply couldn't leave it out.
Ah yes, bees and teeth and that whole connection there, this makes perfect sense!
"Look, I'm telling you that this will make the thing go faster!"
"How?"
"By...coolness?"
Wow, this really is one of the tackiest things that I have seen for a long time. The "Live in the moment" messages really complete the hideously tasteless look!
I particularly love the slotted spoon addition! Talk about hotmail, am I right?
Christ, I'm meant to be an adult and I'm making a joke like that...
Although, people have to make money however they can. I can't imagine it would be very safe to be swinging around this pole at high speeds along the highway though with people trying to chuck money at you from different lanes.
This must have taken the person who did it absolutely ages...and it was clearly not worth it!
I am sure that the person who set this up is very proud of themself, and that's all that matters...right?
What I particularly love is that they didn't even do it neatly, it just looks like they punched a hole in the top of it!
"Dave, for the last time, I'm begging you to give me a normal controller."
"Honestly, just give it a go, all you need to do to get the most out of it is..."
"Dave, please, stop."
I suppose that this one is actually quite cool. It's sort of like the most ramshackle golf cart ever made.
I wonder if each one of these is filled with choc-ices to give it more structural integrity?
Of all of the root vegetables to fashion a replacement key out of, always choose the potato. Don't ask why, I just know that as a fact. Turnip keys? Get out of here!
I don't know why nobody has ever thought of making a toaster out of a soft, flammable material before!?
Ah yes, this truly looks like the epitome of luxuriousness! I only hope their water pressure can withstand such a task!
I don't think I love anything enough to turn a gearstick into a testament to it. Maybe I could make a gearstick out of a slice of pizza somehow?
I don't think that I would trust this to hold the weight of a cup of coffee! If I could find a flat enough part to place it on that is.
