Share those inventions that never made sense to you.
#1
Religion …definitely an invention.
#2
Gendered rebranding. They sell you literally the exact same product, all they do is change the packaging and the price. And thanks to societal pressures, people keep falling for it…
#3
Waterproof teabags.
Yep, they exist.
#4
Privatised healthcare, health should come before profits.
#5
Probably Toeless Socks. Isn’t the point of socks to keep your feet warm?
#6
PLASTIC!!!! It made sense at the time, but now it is literally choking things to death. TOO MUCH!!!!
#7
Pants without pockets! WHY MUST YOU TRICK ME BY PUTTING ON FAKE POCKETS?? If you can put on fake pockets, you can put on actual pockets!!
#8
Banana case.
#9
Adding WiFi to the most mundane items, so your entire life can be hacked and stolen through your lightbulbs.
#10
That machine from the ’50s that apparently slapped the weight off of your body. The science makes no sense.
#11
Open toed boots. They’re BOOTS!! They need to have closed toes!
#12
Any of you guys remember the overpriced pink ‘menstrual gloves’ that could be used to change pads/tampons discreetly?
#13
Laws to protect excess wealth. It hands the whole world to the greediest, most ruthless people.
#14
Flushable toilet wipes. They even say in the small print, they are not flushable but people keep doing it and clogging the pipes. Whatever your primary method after doing your business, you shouldn’t need second item afterwards.
#15
Selfie sticks. I don’t know, they’re sort of useful, but just W H Y.
#16
Hands-free soap dispenser. What difference does it make if there are germs on it when you’re just about to wash your hands?!?!
#17
Crocs
Need I say more?
#18
Throw pillows
Like WTF are they even for???
#19
High heeled crocs.
#20
Amazon Auto. It basically only does what the cell phone app already does.
#21
Juicero.
#22
My answer:
barefoot shoes. Like what the point of making shoes if your gonna cut a whole at the bottom and of course the remote headband it’s litterly a head band full of remotes
#23
Left Handed Underwear…seriously…
#24
Anything new and improved. If it is not smaller and more expensive I would be surprised. Usually the old model works better, does a better job. Example: front load washers as compared to top load. I’m sure you can come up with examples too….
#25
Bottled water.
#26
Facebook. Communication peaked with email and listservs.
#27
I’m just going to say it: the Hurdy Gurdy
#28
I know it makes sense but I think the car is one of the worst inventions ever.
Cons: too many resources needed to make them all
The roads are constantly full of traffic jams and in some places it’s quicker to ride a bike
The amount of pollution they cause
The amount of petrol and oil they need
The expense of keeping them fuelled, taxed and insured
The never ending production of newer, better models to keep people buying
Pros:
They’re convenient
#29
Talk-to-text and sending voice messages….on a phone…capable of calling people. I know it has some specific usages but the irony is never lost on me, and I most often see it being used as basically a phone call with very long pauses between responses.
#30
Low contrast fonts, like the one I’m trying to check for typos right now.
#31
Food that isn’t spaghetti.
#32
gender!!!!!!! and gender roles. litteraly why do these exist they are so stupid and harmful.
also racism,homophobia,transphobia,biphobia,ect….
