Inventions have hit the bottleneck. How do we know that? You will see in a bit. There was a time when inventions were the rage of science. It was done by an exclusive group of learned people.
Today, anyone with a scientific aptitude can go to his garage and tinker with things looking at online lessons. Some of them turn out to be great.
And some…not so great –
1. Horizontal shower, another excuse to lie down in the bath
We associate taking a shower with standing under a shower. In this invention, you lie down under a shower on a slab. There is an invention for taking a bath while in the horizontal position – the bathtub.
2. Fart pads, so that you can fart all you want.
This invention deodorizes the smelly farts you may let rip after eating too much chole one fine day. It doesn’t help with the sound that accompanies the smell unfortunately.
3. The Fliz, the bicycle with no pedals.
No, it isn’t a cycle. You have to walk with it or run with it, and hence, it misses the whole point of a commute – which is to get from point A to point B as quickly and efficiently as possible. It does neither.
Who wants to run with a non-bicycle frame on your shoulder?
4. Air conditioned shoes.
It is not really air conditioned. There are just fancy holes in them that ventilate your feet inside. Let me make it clear – there is no man-made heat exchange mechanism going inside there.
They are just boots with fancy holes. Nothing else.
5. Man bra.
Apparently these bras are for men with man boobs or moobs. And then they advertise it with mannequins and models with ripped torsos. It couldn’t have missed the point any farther.
6. USB pet rock.
What does the rock do, you ask?
Nothing. You just plug the rock in, and….well…..uh…..
7. Goldfish walker, for all the goldfish owners out there.
Because goldfish deserve walks too. Just because they cannot walk doesn’t mean they cannot go on walks. Very considerate. If only fish could appreciate outside scenery better.
8. Hair hat. Hair on. Hair off.
The inventor here tried too hard. What happens when he gets too sweaty up there and has to take off the cap? Won’t that blow his cover?
9. Diet water. Just going to leave it here.
Because, normal water has so many calories and fat and sugar.
This one has less fat than regular water. Now you know why you get fat for no reason!
10. Solar powered cigarette lighter for the environmental friendly you.
On a bright sunny day, this is a good contraption. On rainy days, get a matchstick or a lighter.
11. Butter stick, because a butter knife is too mainstream
For those people who do not know how to butter a bread, this is the perfect invention. Just do not put it alongside real glue stick.
12. Gas powered flashlight, because batteries are expensive nowadays.
Because battery-powered torches are too mainstream. Yes, this actually runs on gas, just like the cigarette lighter. Bulkier and uncomfortable, but still, if you are sick of being too mainstream, this is for you.
13. Neck-pro, to help you relax your neck
The product description says that it relaxes your neck, by pulling it up. Just have a firm foothold on the ground when you wrap it around your neck. Just saying.
14. Sleeping bag for walking.
Don’t we wish that we could take our bed everywhere we went. This invention is for us! Except it is not logical in the least. I am betting that a man with a white colored walking sleeping bag is the root of all the Yeti rumors.
15. iPotty.
With parents complaining about their kids hooked on to the cellphone everywhere, this invention came at the worst time possible.
But hey, if you want your child to play with an iPad on the loo, this is it.
16. Full body umbrella, it is stylish too. NOT.
Don’t we all just hate it when it gets all windy and your umbrella just goes with the wind? This is the perfect solution. Except when it will get all windy and crowded, then this invention is the perfect bitch.
17. Swiss army shovels. All-in-one shovel!
Remember the Swiss army knives?
The Chinese military came up with an all in one shovel. It has all the variants of the shovel in one place. No worries if it gets too heavy, or tractors are already invented.
18. Portable chin rest, for the long commutes, because chins need rest too.
Yes, this is very real. Although I do not know why the first thing you want to rest when you are standing is your chin.
19. Eye drop funnels, to help you put eye drops in perfectly
This invention is so bad, it is actually good.
They say Invention is a process. You do not get there overnight.
Looks like these inventions did get there overnight.
Do you find any of these actually useful? Let us know in the comments.
