Some people out there straight up have it all figured out. They don’t seem to have a care in the world, all because they let their creativity guide them through every situation .
Sure, we can’t all be like that. But we can at least appreciate the ones who have figured it all out. Like the people who came up with these surprisingly clever ideas.
RELATED STORIES
“My dad made a wooden speaker system.”
That has to be one of the coolest speakers I’ve ever seen. The fact that it was made out of wood is just mind blowing. Like, who thinks of these things?
A genius, that’s who.
This park bench that can double as a picnic table.
I just know that the person who came up with this idea has ascended to the next plane of existence. This is top tier thinking. It’s revolutionary. It’s the future. It’s – okay, I think you get the picture.
“Mom using her car phone holder for written driving directions.”
I’m not gonna lie, I have mad respect for this woman. She straight up does not care, and it’s pretty amazing. Why use a phone stand for a phone, when you could just use it for written directions instead?
“Used a leaf blower and a funnel to inflate a pool. Actually worked fairly quickly.”
Now that it’s officially pool season, I’m definitely looking for ways to blow up all my pool toys without wasting my whole afternoon. This might be the smartest, coolest idea I’ve ever seen when it comes to pool stuff.
This computer mouse that got turned into a belt buckle is blowing my mind right now.
Somehow, this thing is so tacky, it’s actually kind of cool. Would I wear one? Maybe not, but I also had to think for a while before answering, so there’s that.
A fake bookcase door that’s also a fake bookcase.
I’m not gonna lie, it would be waaaay cooler if this was an actual secret bookcase door. But this is probably the next-best thing. It gives off the illusion of giving off the illusion that there’s nothing to see here.
“My local supermarket built a little habitat for their mushrooms.”
I never thought I’d be so impressed by a grocery store, but here we are. This is seriously cool. And the best part? You know the mushrooms you’re about to buy are nice and fresh.
The instructions for this frozen pizza are removable, so you can get rid of the box.
This is something moms everywhere have been doing manually (at least my mom did). Any company that makes it easier to take the instructions off the box so you can recycle it is clearly playing the long game.
“How much information my classmate managed to fit on her exam notecard.”
They tell you that you can bring one cheat sheet in, but they don’t tell you how much stuff you can write on it! As long as you can actually read all that stuff, you’re gonna do well on the test.
“Ahoy! ☠️ I humbly submit a photo from my redneck pirate ship build.”
I’m actually insanely jealous of this person. They’re kind of living the dream right now. Like, imagine getting to ride around a lake, river, ocean, anywhere , in a replica pirate ship !
“This gate allows walkers and horse through but blocks vehicles.”
Maybe I’m just too easy to impress, but I think this is a crazy smart idea! Cars can’t get through, but anyone else can. Way to make sure the path is nice and safe for everyone.
“Make some handles out of tape on your air filter to make removal easier.”
I feel like this also acts as a reminder that you should be replacing your furnace filter frequently. Like, every few months or so at least. And yeah, using a bit of tape would make it so much easier to replace.
“Precision Air Redirection at my work.”
Sometimes, the best solution really is the simplest one. All you need is a little cardboard and some tape, and you can direct the air in your office to go exactly where you want it to. Subtly genius!
“How I make iced coffee without diluting it.”
Some people might freeze coffee cubes, which works, but takes a lot of time and has to be done beforehand. This person just used an ice bath, which is way faster and, frankly, so much cooler (pun intended).
“This woven advertisement for weaving classes.”
I’ve never really thought about weaving, but if I ever want to try it out, I would only want this person to teach me. Whoever made this ad clearly knows what they’re doing, and I wouldn’t be able to trust anyone else.
“Girlfriend’s mom figured it out.”
I’d like to take a moment of silence for all the bruised ankles and stubbed toes out there. Those evil metal bedframes can’t hurt you anymore. Not if you cover them up with pool noodles or some other soft/cushiony thing.
“The sun never enters my bedroom, mirror outside to reflect it in.”
In a perfect world, we’d get enough sun in our rooms. But since the sun has to go and be in different spots during the day/throughout the year, this is probably the next best thing.
“My bathroom sign. It has been in my family since the 40’s.”
This is both hilarious and clever. Because let’s face it, there are plenty of times when you go to the bathroom and hope no one else in your house needs to go in after you.
“This guy already in 3022.”
I’m not going to shame anyone who has trouble using chopsticks. Unless you grow up with them, it can be a learning curve. I’m sure plenty of people out there could benefit from chopsticks made to look like this pair.
“This solution for my luncheon meat.”
A fancy design? Even lunchmeat coverage on all corners of the bread? I have to say, this might be one of the smartest ways to arrange a sandwich I’ve ever seen.
