Bittersweet Candy Bowl

(First topic post ever)
(Also, something like this might have been posted, but I didn’t see anything)

What’s the worst invention / idea / creations you’ve heard of or seen?
Like that paid programming stuff and commercials.

Zoopals. They are animals, AND PLATES. OH MY GOD SO AWESOME.

The commercial makes me want to trample a dog.

a friend of mine tried to build a switchblade for jockstraps.

These might be some of the worst I’ve ever heard of.

Sliced peanut butter might take the top spot, though. ^_^

Ellen DeGeneres has a thing for infomercials. She buys all those ridiculous things and actually uses them, as well as gives them away as gifts on her show to her celebrity guests. They are always a laugh! If you YouTube her, there are lots of clips with her playing with all these interesting “inventions” that she buys off of the infomercials.

The stick should not be on this post.
That stick invention is win. Your argument is invalid.

the Wii

What about that. Fu..foo…Fushigi? I don’t knowhow to spell it. Does it even work!? IS IT REALLY MAGICAL? I think it’s shit. Does anyone agree or disagree? If you disagree, then tell how it works.

The Twilight Saga

Good answer but not what we’re looking for. I think that belongs in the Terrible Movies thread.

I meant the novels that the movies are based on. Who ever wrote those books are mentally disturbed.

The idea of the book apparently started after the “Author” had a dream of Edward. She wrote the story past that scene, then went back and did the beginning. So, she just took a dream and made it into a book and movie. I agree that guy.

The Fleshlight

I would totally wear a switchblade jockstrap assuming he could build it right. Somebody comes at you and suddenly you pelvic thrust a knife into his ear. Hell yes.

The knife Jock apparently

Actually, there’s an Asian (to be more precise, Japanese, I think) word that encompasses the entire idea of totally serious but completely impractical inventions, and there’s been at least one book compiled on them.

I still remember two of them: A surgical mask (usually worn by city-goers in hopes of cleaner breathing) with about twenty or so cigarettes jammed through it. The idea was that a person could get more bang per breath, or something like that (if it actually worked you’d think they’d die of smoke inhalation, but whatever). The other one was a solar powered flashlight.

I wish I could remember that word.

Nah, the cigarettes would burn out first but they might suffocate if they don’t take the mask off to get fresh air in.

That said, I would use one of those.

Hee, Rasputin, or an inflatable dartboard. ^_^

spray on hair….seen on man on the train applying some……just terrible

Anyone heard of these underpants that are supposed to yell when you put them on?

Simple pleasures… ^_^

my friend tested out his jock strap switch-blade when i was out of town, and he was never the same again

… is this friend of yours…. …. regardless, the word uniq (spelling?) comes to mind.

…….i havent checked………

a lot of the official D&D magic items,

dust of dryness

boots of walking

pen of creating

book of stories

deck of many things

sword of healing (which kills things)

coin of worth

nipple clamps of exquisite pain

What kind of D&D do you guys play!?

wings of flying

and creal, half of our players are insane, and mass murderers

@CrealStar

Bah, they’re the furry precedents what would you expect?

no, just me
we don’t use any of these though, they just are in the books.

Exactly

Wings of flying? What amazing innovation ^_^

Facebook.

War was a stupid idea, whoever invented it didn’t think things through…

Idiots™ are the worst invention.

trade marks… there pretty bad.

Can Trolls be an invention? Maybe the name for it…

Trolls were created in a mad scientist’s basement. There we go.

Megan’s Law. It’s discriminatory against pedophiles.

Snuggy, for multiple reasons.

Those pillows that can also be “Plush pets”

post WWI and pre WWII United states, if they can be an invention, or idea. Seriously, we made tanks that run on gasoline. One shot, and they explode. stupid, stupid…..that’s what we get for having Chrysler make our war machines….

Actually, I’m changing that, I just choose the Army of said time. Our politics was good back then :1

New one. Worst invention ever? MikexDaisy

-Awaits the ragefest-

Why? It is exaggerated, that’s true, but still. ^_^

The fleshlight: because actual vaginas do not need competition.

anything listed here

^_^

… Actually, I think I will retract that comment. ^_^
