FIve things that you believe never should have been invented.

[Lilani]

Recently, some trends and new inventions have been bothering me. So I thought I'd list them off, and then see what's biting you all as well. Any gadget, doohickey, or thingamajig created by the hands of man is valid.

My list is as such:

1. Bumpits. They just make girls look like they have either extremely large or unfortunately shaped heads.
2. Vuvuzelas. Seriously. If I wanted to hear shit like that I'd stick my head in a beehive.
3. Automatic soap pumps sold for use in the home. "Never touch another dirty soap pump" they say. You're going to wash your hands anyway, so why should it matter if the soap pump is dirty?
4. Visors. Ugly as shit. That is all.
5. Spray tans. I have never seen a good spray tan. Or even a remotely natural looking one.

1. The internet.
2. Video games.
3. Space travel.
4. Science fiction.
5. Role playing games.

The Snuggie, for one, as it's just a fuckin' backwards robe.

And those shake weights; I mean really? It boils down to something that is just beating off without the feel-good benefits of doing so.

 

[greenflash]

1. The Time Machine. it Keeps Breaking Down every time i visit the 21th century!
2. The Twilight Sage. in 2 years it cause the end of the world...
3. 4chan. a site made of 13 years olds that are total idiots.
4. Guns. it's cooler to have sword fights.
5. The big thingy that makes black hole. why do you think people what to go to mars in the future.

3. Automatic soap pumps sold for use in the home. "Never touch another dirty soap pump" they say. You're going to wash your hands anyway, so why should it matter if the soap pump is dirty?

I have pointed this same fact out multiple times to a number of people, and every time I get the same blank stare.

1. Religion - Pretty basic thing here. I suppose it wasn't necessarily an "invention" depending on how you look at it, but... Whatever.

2. Snuggies - ...No explanation required.

3. Nascar - There is something oh-so-unexciting about watching a bunch of cars (I DON'T GIVE A FUCK HOW FAST THEY'RE GOING) take repeated left turns. Make a random one spontaneously explode every lap, and maybe then I'll watch.

4. The Wii - ...I don't really have to explain this so much, either.

5. Collection Agencies - Greedy bastards. Quit wasting space in my mailbox.

Actually, I've tried one, and they're pretty freakin' sweet. But I've never had a problem with not being able to use my arms when just chilling in a bigass comforter, so they aren't really worth the money. But if someone gave me one for free, I'd wear it.

Autotune, Disney pop stars (I'm pretty sure they're genetically modified, so 'invented' applies here), Agent Orange, Cheez Whiz, Wal-Mart.

1. Guns and bombs. Seriously, they are designed for killing other humans, how messed up is that? Even swords can be used for play-fighting (blunt weapons, padded armour and good spirited fun, get these three things and a parnter and away you go).

2. Capitalism. I mean the american kind, where the bottom can't be stuffed working up because of how ridiculously hard it is, and the top don't have to work hard at all because they pay other people to make them more money.

3. Cars (motorbikes are fine). They are multi-tonne pieces of metal travelling in excess of 60km/h, controlled by a bunch of impatient drivers through the use of three pedals and a wheel. I mean seriously, half the people I've met don't even care that they are in control of something that can kill dozens of people with nothing more than a brief lapse of concentration.

Now are there any other major ones I haven't mentioned ... oh yeah, most offense-based inventions. I mean, nuclear power is pretty good, but we had to blow shit up with it; fire is helpful, but we had to burn people with it; bows would be handy for game-hunting, but we had to use it for war. The list goes on but I can't be stuffed listing every invention that has been used for harm when it could have been used for alternative purposes.

Spinners.

They just... they don't stop.

They're also a useless waste of money.

Says you. Paintballing > LARPing imo...

Durp

Despite religion creating strict social structure and morals, paving the way for current values and civilisations, a small minority sometimes knock on my door really early in the morning so they shouldn't exist.

Not everyone agrees. All have the right to their own opinion. Good try, though.

I don't know, I think money's pretty convenient. Without it, I'd have to send a chicken to Insight every month to pay for my internet connection.

Or promise them my first born...
