Human ingenuity (like human curiosity) cannot be stopped! Throughout their history of development, people come up with something, invent, create ... May it always be like this, because thanks to, for example, the invention of the wheel, humanity got the opportunity to travel, develop new lands, establish trade relations and so on. And let evil tongues say that the wheel was given to us by aliens, and man would never have thought of making such a breakthrough on his own. Let it be said that the universal mind also "whispered" to us about the existence of nuclear energy - we will not believe it! However, with regards to the inventions, which are discussed in this article, there is no need to rush. It seems that here you really feel the interference of the universal reason, or, if you will, the universal fevered imagination! Otherwise, how to explain the birth of all these "masterpieces" of innovative thought ?! Perhaps, the incredible extravagance of their authors! So, decide for yourself - ten of the most useless, stupid and ridiculous inventions are brought to your judgment!

10. A pocket ... shovel!

Rejoice, summer residents! Finally, the need to carry with you a whole pile of agricultural tools, jostling in electric and suburban trains, disappeared. For now you have the most real pocket shovel! In this invention, which resembles a penknife enlarged dozens of times, you can find not only a shovel (in fact, as in a penknife there is not only a knife, but also an opener, scissors, a screwdriver, and so on), but also a rake, glanders, pitchforks , scythe ... But you never know what else! And if you have never been able to contemplate such a miracle of engineering with your own eyes, it doesn’t matter. Know - it exists! And some lonely American farmer on his ranch, clutching this device with numb hands, digs and cries, digs and cries (either from gratitude to the great minds who created this "useful" tool, or straining from the weight of a pocket shovel ).

9. Umbrella for ... shoes!

It is good if you are a big boss, and every morning a brand new executive class car is brought to your house, which will invariably take you home in any condition in the evening. Aside from the well-known benefits, it's good for your shoes. Indeed, if it is pouring rain outside, and today you were planning to go out in your new suede shoes, then the car at the entrance will be very useful. But what should mere mortals do (in particular, those who need to walk to their car in the parking lot without getting their feet wet?). No worries! The universal mind came to the aid of people and "whispered" to ingenious minds an ingenious invention - umbrellas for shoes. Yes, that's right - a wonderful umbrella can be attached to the toe of each shoe (sandals, boots, slippers, galoshes or flippers), which will reliably protect your expensive shoes from the effects of water pouring from heaven. But what about the water running on the asphalt, you ask? You are too picky, we will answer!

8. Slipper-broom and slipper-scoop

Probably, generations of female ancestors would be filled with gratitude if they had this wonderful quartet in their household. Why a quartet? Because we are talking about a pair of slippers, a small broom attached to the toe of the right slipper, and a small scoop attached to the toe of the left slipper. Simple movements will allow the owner of this invention to sweep the floor without bending over! If you are left-handed, it doesn't matter. Surely on sale there is a slipper-scoop on the right foot and a slipper-broom - on the left. And if not - it's okay! You just have to remember how you tried on the right shoe on your left foot as a child. So, we will assume that you have been convinced of the usefulness of this invention. Only the issue of waste disposal remained open, or, to put it simple language, technique of pouring garbage from a scoop into a trash bin. Yes, here the owner of these "wonderful" slippers has no options but to master several dance steps in the spirit of the ballerina Nastya Volochkova. I wish you success in this!

7. Device for pressing the keys Ctrl + Alt + Del

Yes, that's right - a device for quick simultaneous pressing of the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys. You can't say more precisely! Have you been using a computer for years and feel like you got along fine without it? It only seems to you! After all, it was to the delight of all computer users that this device was invented. And the fact that you have not seen it on sale in any computer store only says that this "ingenious" invention, and, most importantly, the inventor, have remained unclear YET ... But in vain! What a wonderful idea, you must agree! You can go even further - for example, make several similar devices that will allow you to switch the language layout on the keyboard, press the space bar, and, finally, type the word "complete nonsense" with one click (moreover, mind you - this can be easily done, since not a single letter is repeated in this phrase!).

6. Oil glue

An incredibly useful invention, mainly aimed at creepy curmudgeons. Remember the old story, which talks about how "zealous" hosts treat guests, saying: "You grease your bread, grease it!" "Yes, we smear, we smear, thank you!", - the guests answer. "But how do you smear when I see that you are applying in pieces!", The hostess exclaims in her hearts. Obviously, specifically in order to avoid such stresses, this invention of a gastronomic nature was invented - glue oil. If you think this invention is complete nonsense, then you are fundamentally wrong! Expand your imagination a little - after all, glue-oil is called so - "glue-oil" because it can be used not only as oil, but also as glue. If you want - smear sandwiches, but if you want - do the application with the child! And even the wallpaper can be glued ...

5. Tray with finger holes

The life of an ordinary waiter is hard and unsightly. In addition to the fact that you have to have an incredible amount of patience, listening to all the fair and not very attacks of visitors, and also besides being on your feet most of the time, each waiter is forced to perform miracles of balancing act in order to deliver the ordered dishes safe and sound. directly to the place of order. However, excellent movement coordination is no longer necessary! Thanks to the same universal intelligence, waiters all over the world have magic trays that will allow them to serve food in any condition (even drunk in a snipe!), Since these trays have special holes for all five fingers. There are certain inconveniences that do not put a plate of borscht in such a tray, for example, or something like that. Um ... Obviously needs some work. We are waiting for ideas!

4. Chopsticks with fan

Everything is more or less simple with this invention - the fan is attached to chopsticks, which allows you to eat without fear of getting burned. However, it is unlikely that this design is just as briefly named in the patent, which the resourceful inventor of this device filed for registration of his invention. Rather, the name looked something like this: "Chopsticks equipped with a closed ventilation-type cooling device for the safe consumption of vermicelli and other food products." The benefits of this device are obvious! Our man, with his short lunch break, is sorely lacking in such inventions. Just imagine how much more beautiful our life would be if someone thought of putting on the market spoons and forks equipped with such a ventilation device. How much faster and safer it would be to eat ... in organizations Catering generally!

3. Umbrella awning

And here are the top three! It is opened by an umbrella, to the edges of which is attached a transparent awning that falls to the ground. On the one hand, you are fully guaranteed protection from the strongest rainfall, on the other hand, you are protected from the wind. Of course, certain problems arise - how, for example, to fold the umbrella, where to attach a kilogram of film? Another problem that can be called social is more than obvious - the loneliness of the owner / owner of the umbrella! Still - you feel that the world around you is cut off from you, and you - from it! However, if you just run someone under your umbrella, you become much closer to each other now than with a regular umbrella. And if you equip such an umbrella with an opaque film ... No, after all, a very controversial invention. One thing is clear - with such an umbrella, inventions such as a shoe umbrella lose all meaning! Although, for more reliable protection, you can use both devices.

2. Helmet for sleeping with suction cup

Every morning, the vast majority of our citizens who use public transport (in particular, the metro), in addition to the task of getting to work, have another task - to get some more sleep on the way to work. In the evening, only the direction of movement changes, and the task of "pokemarit on the way" remains the same. And if before you had to experience great inconveniences (for example, your head constantly dangled from side to side) associated with risks (for example, with the risk of breaking your neck), now you have a wonderful sleeping helmet with a suction cup. Now your head will be strictly fixed, and your sleep will be sound and healthy! Do you rarely get a seat on the subway? No problem! Surely such a wonderful sleeping helmet is equipped with a neck strap! Choose a helmet with a more powerful suction cup and sleep while standing. Decent second place!

1.USB vibrator

No, well, this is really an extremely necessary device, you must agree. There is no need to explain its benefits. It is enough to look at this miracle of the sex industry to understand how you need it! Now you are happy to stay at work longer, as soon as your boss loads you with chores. Why, you are ready to work at night: it is necessary - it is necessary! However, this device is intended for office workers only. Obviously, employees who spend a lot of time behind the wheel of a car should not be offended either. Why not come up with something like that, attached to, say, a cigarette lighter? Moscow traffic jams for many would become not only a burden, but a joy! Or, say, what to do with asphalt pavers who spend long and boring days and months in hard work? It's no secret that this work is often done by women. And it is only necessary to provide a USB input in the jackhammer, and the life of any asphalt paver will shine with new colors (not to mention increasing the prestige of the profession!).

Incredible facts

Human ingenuity (like human curiosity) cannot be stopped! Throughout their history of development, people come up with something, invent, create ... May it always be like this, because thanks to, for example, the invention of the wheel, humanity got the opportunity to travel, develop new lands, establish trade relations and so on.

The world is full of stupidity, from the most innocent to the most terrible and unforgivable. It is caught on the fly like a disease and spreads like a terrible virus. As Albert Einstein himself said: " Only the Universe and human stupidity are endless. Although I have doubts about the first one"Stupidity contributes to many rash acts, such as the creation of universal and at the same time stupid devices for various aspects of our life. Today we will look at "Top 10 most stupid human inventions".

These inventions are very stupid, absurd and absurd for most people, but they sell well.

Traditionally, it is believed that an invention is something new and simplifying life. However, in reality, this is not always the case. There are a number of developments that are designed to evoke an ironic smile rather than be useful. Sometimes the creators of new products either do not take into account the needs of customers, or they simply create something that is not able to win demand in the markets.
Among such inventions are the following.

"Tear collector". The developers have come up with unusual glasses that prevent tears from shedding. Apparently, this invention is aimed at women who like to cry while watching movies. Why it is necessary to collect tears in special cylinders inside the glasses, the creators did not bother to explain.

Tear collector.

Mobile zebra. Do you think that the road should be crossed only in designated places? If so, then maybe the invention of resourceful developers will be useful to you. They have created a portable zebra that you can carry and lay on the road wherever you like. The only pity is that the rules of the road do not mention anything about it. However, there is no condition prohibiting such an option either. In general, the Japanese development raises a lot of doubts and no less fears about how to apply it.

Mobile zebra.

Fan for food. We all came across the fact that we want to eat, but the dish has not yet cooled down. The resourceful Japanese have created a special fan that can be attached to cutlery. It will chill food every time you spoon or fork it. However, this way of absorbing food will take much more time than you would simply wait until it cools down.

Fan for food.

Dust collector slippers. This invention was created simultaneously by several developers in different countries... But there is only one idea: to make special slippers that will be worn by pets. So you can get rid of the need to wash the floor, because the animals will unwittingly clean everything. However, such an invention can hardly be called humane in relation to pets. And do not forget that the animals will later crawl onto the sofa or bed and transfer all the dust there.

Dust collector slippers for animals.
