Here at Diply, we feature a lot of photos of ideas that are, let's just say...questionable.
But because it's important to occasionally feature the creative ideas that won't get you maimed or killed, we present to you this list of downright awesome ideas. Who knows, maybe they'll inspire some similar awesomeness in your own life.
With a static keypad, wear patterns will eventually reveal the sequence of the passcode. Hunting for the numbers on a randomized grid might take more time, but it's far more secure.
I'm tempted to classify this as an awful idea with excellent execution, because there's no way I'd want this on my desk...but it's hard not to appreciate the craftsmanship.
I've never heard of needlefelting before, and am still not exactly sure what it is, other than something that can create incredibly lifelike dogs.
This thing is good at holding five rings, but a real octopus actually has eight arms. Then again, a real octopus isn't likely to be flipping you off, so let's call it a wash.
This is a beautiful idea. Whether anyone else visits these graves anymore isn't known, but it's nice to know that someone is coming through with a lovely gesture.
This is brilliant: an ad that not only gives the pertinent information, but also demonstrates the teacher's skill. Hopefully those weaving classes teach students more than just how to make a creative weaving class ad, though.
The world can always use a little more whimsy, so I'm a big fan of this giraffe-themed crane. I mean, seeing a giraffe pattern painted on steel beams is the closest many of us will ever get to a giraffe.
I love the marketing here. I'll bet some folks, especially families with young kids, come to this car wash specifically to see the neat party trick at the end.
Confetti is wasteful, but it looks pretty. How can you create confetti that isn't wasteful and still looks pretty? Here's an elegant way.
I've never actually needed to utilize this specific life hack, but it's still burned into my brain just in case I ever need to find something small.
PVC pipe has tons of DIY applications, from regular pipe stuff to small construction projects. This bike rack looks like it meets its purpose perfectly.
Every month or so, I pick up a few of these water jugs. Rather than taking the two seconds to strap them in, I just let them roll around in the backseat. Someday, I'll pay for my hubris.
We've seen many interpretations of van Gogh's most famous piece, and we've seen many creative applications for Lego. Seeing the two combined was just inevitable. I wonder if the minifigure is missing a mini ear.
This person evidently just made this one bowl to suit their particular needs, but they might actually have a decent invention on their hands here.
Everything in the 2020s is a joke or a reference to something else, so this piece fits right in to our strange postmodern future. I happen to like it.
There's no need to be preachy with these things. Just a Jesus head casually reminding everyone that He's watching should do the trick for most religious folks.
Plenty of people have scrap materials lying around. Plenty of people have the time to turn scrap into something impressive. Not a lot of people actually have this kind of ambition or talent, though.
Here's one of those DIY inventions that looks needlessly clunky and complicated, but pretty much all of its workings are confined to the inside of the helmet.
Some people want to post life hacks on the internet. Some people want to subtly brag about their love life on the internet. Sometimes, the Venn diagram between these two groups is more of a circle.
The nice thing about dogs is that you can always tell how much they appreciate what we do for them. Judging from this doggo's expression, he's very appreciative.
