Only a miracle can be given, looking at the useless inventions invented by people, which, probably, can be considered in some way geniuses. After all, looking at some things, you might think: yes this is a masterpiece! Only useless ... However, it is better to go to illustrative examples.
"Help" in eating
A plate-ring is a funny, and not even completely useless invention. It was created for regulars of all kinds of social events and receptions. This is a tiny plate on the ring that you need to put on your finger and use it. No need to put a lot of snacks on the plates at once. You can just pick one treat and put on a mini plate. In the same hand you can really hold a glass with a drink. And the second hand will thus be free.
Speaking of useless inventions, one cannot fail to mention the pizza fork. Her creator, apparently, does not like to eat with her hands. Therefore, he came up with a fork, in the middle of which a small knife (round, rotating) is attached to cut pizza into pieces and immediately chop it.
But these are far from the most useless inventions. To create them, at least prerequisites were invented that can be understood. But in this world there is still an alarm clock plug! On it you need to chop a piece, eat it, and wait. The second time you can send food to your mouth when the alarm goes off. This invention is already 22 years old, and a patent was obtained for its creation.
Oddities for Health
Continuing to list useless inventions, it is worth mentioning a heating pad for the prostate. It is not worth describing its appearance; you can only look at the photo provided above. This device was first demonstrated to the public more than 100 years ago - in 1914.
A chin rest is also a strange thing. It is a long device resembling a tripod. Only at the end is such a support as crutches. Not just for the armpit, but for the chin. This invention is intended for people who love to doze off always and everywhere. This is a “helper” for a comfortable standing sleep.
Still worth talking about funnels for eye drops. Not everyone can get there right away. A lot of medicine is wasted. But with such a device, you can not translate the medication. By the way, it looks like round glasses with tiny holes in the middle, to which funnels with wide “bells” are attached, where you can easily get a drop.
Useless but popular
There are things that are of little use, but they are in demand because of their originality and unusualness. These include the ostrich pillow. It is like a hat (only with slots for breathing) put on your head to sleep anywhere. In form, it resembles the head of an ostrich, hence the name.
The seat cover is also among the top most useless inventions. But popular. The product is actively bought by fastidious people who are seriously worried about the sanitary conditions of buses, planes and public seats. If it is not difficult for them to carry a separate blanket, then why not use it?
Less strange is the so-called Snazzy Napper. This is a portable blanket attached to a sleeping mask. With a small cutout for the nose, of course. Many people consider such a blanket a convenient thing - because it can be fixed on the head, and not be afraid that it will slip.
And it’s worth noting the attention of a cover for ... a banana. It is amazing how many people worry that their fruit may wrinkle in a bag or bag.
Too “functional” things
Talking about the most useless inventions, I would like to mention such devices that have become completely impractical due to the fanatical desire of their creators to give them as much functionality as possible.
Take, for example, the giant Swiss knife shown above in the photo. What is there in this huge construction! The functional has 87 different tools. But this invention is terribly inconvenient to use and not portable. And the PR managers also missed the advertisement, sending photos to the masses, on which the “knife” stands next to a high boot, which is comparable in size to it. And the price also exceeds $ 1,400.
Also in the rating under the title “The Most Useless Inventions of the 21st Century” a suitcase transforming into a scooter definitely enters. Maybe the idea seemed fun. Here are just a filled suitcase does not differ aerodynamics and good handling. Far away on it you will not leave.
JakPak is also in the TOP of useless inventions. This is a jacket that folds into a tent. Conveniently? Not really. The jacket looks very bulky and weighs twice as much as a regular 2-person tent.
It is impossible not to mention the sandals, metal detectors. They cost 60 dollars. And the radius for such a price at the detectors is too small. In addition, the person who decided to wear them will have the appearance that he had escaped from house arrest.
Wardrobe Items
If we talk about the most useless inventions of mankind, then we can mention the glove for two. It was invented by Terry King. This little thing gives lovers the opportunity to walk in the cold season, holding hands, while not freezing. Just have to constantly twitch if you need a second hand. And you’ll have to take a pair of normal gloves with you - after all, you somehow need to return home in the cold.
There are still tights with four stockings. What are they for? For emergency situations! If the pair, worn on the legs, is torn, then you can remove it, twist it, and tamp it into a special pocket near the lower back, where whole tights for the shift will be fished out.
But nothing can be compared to jeans for a picnic. They are breeches, some of which on the inside of the thigh are made of stretching dense fabric. To sit comfortably was in any position - after all, ordinary denim material fetters movement. But the main point is not that! If you sit in a standard yoga pose, the fabric will stretch and form an elastic surface on which you can put a plate with a barbecue, for example.
Fancy Accessories
Talking about the most useless inventions, one cannot but mention the umbrella for the whole body. People who are afraid of getting wet use it. This is an ordinary umbrella, only around the entire perimeter it is surrounded by a dense transparent "curtain", reaching to the ground. The man, unwinding it, appears as if under a dome.
Another strange invention can be considered a rotating ice cream cone. This device looks like a mechanical cone, inside of which a small motor is integrated. When it works, the ball of ice cream rotates. Perhaps this is the perfect “assistant" for people who are too lazy to twist their horn in their hands to bite it from all sides.
But even if it tops the list called "The Most Useless Inventions of Mankind", it’s a box for $ 30. Absolutely plain and empty. Which even its creators called useless. What is its essence? In the presence of a switch. After pressing it, the box lid rises and then falls. That's all.
That in which there is no logic
However, in most of the above inventions it is absent. But in some things there are not even the prerequisites of logic.
These include a bra with a timer that counts the time before marriage, and a bristle for brushing teeth, attached to the finger. Square watermelons at one time also surprised a lot of people. And a pillow with a speaker. The hair holder can also be attributed to this list. Why buy such a huge and expensive thing, as in the photo below, if you can restrict yourself to a simple rubber band?
Hello from the past
The useless inventions of mankind, created decades ago, are of particular interest. Sometimes it’s surprising to find out what ideas came into the heads of our first parents.
Take, for example, a device for pair walking. Or a group shower. Pedal rollers are also a dubious means of transportation. Like those equipped with an electric motor.
The radio hat, the photo-revolver, the cigarette holder for smoking in the rain and snow, glasses with shutters and a one-wheeled motorcycle look strange . But the cherry on the cake from the useless inventions of the past is a vibro-finger designed to massage the gums.
Other inventions
Not all strange and illogical things ever created were listed above.
There is diet water, a DVD ventilator, barefoot walking shoes, a snowball maker, a noodle cooler fan, shoe umbrellas, and even a device designed to automatically press the Control Alt Delete combination at the same time.
It may also surprise a tie, which with a flick of the wrist opens into an umbrella. And a microphone with a silencer (for those who are embarrassed by their singing). Unusually looks and a grater with heating for hot oil, similar to a meat grinder. By the way, this device is very popular.
This list goes on and on. And you can certainly say that over time it will only replenish.
