Mrs.Jingle just told me about this yesterday, and it's appropriate for this thread.

For every 'man-scaper' going for a wax.  I'm serious, that's how they market it.

WHAT IT’S USED FOR:
Numb Nuts Pain Relieving Cream will be your savior when it comes to your waxing sessions. This breakthrough numbing kit helps reduce the pain inflicted from waxing your intimate area. A 4% concentration of lidocaine-based cream and a comfortable latex panty safely numbs your skin for 15-20 minutes. This makes for an ouchless session, getting rid of the unnecessary pain that comes along with waxing and laser treatments.

My husband Brad always warns me not to try and update my Facebook page while I'm driving. "You'll hit another pedestrian," he says. "This isn't the Enterprise, there isn't a deflector array." Then along comes a miracle product like this! I can now happily fly at warp speed down the streets of Los Angeles, laptop or mobile device perched right in front of me, so I can keep both eyes right on it AND on the road. It's so much easier to ignore all the frightened screams and annoying honking when you've got Facebook to look at while driving. Thank you, Wheelmate!

Once I figured out I had to peel the
banana before using - it works much
better.
Ordering one for my nephew who's in the
air force in California. He's been using an
old slinky to slice his banana's. He should
really enjoy this product!

Quote
I tried the banana slicer and found it
unacceptable. As shown in the picture, the
slices is curved from left to right. All of my
bananas are bent the other way.

Quote
For decades I have been trying to come up
with an ideal way to slice a banana. "Use a
knife!" they say. Well...my parole officer
won't allow me to be around knives.
"Shoot it with a gun!" Background
check...HELLO! I had to resort to carefully
attempt to slice those bananas with my
bare hands. 99.9% of the time, I would get
so frustrated that I just ended up squishing
the fruit in my hands and throwing it
against the wall in anger. Then, after a fit
of banana-induced rage, my parole officer
introduced me to this kitchen marvel and
my life was changed. No longer consumed
by seething anger and animosity towards
thick-skinned yellow fruit, I was able to
concentrate on my love of theatre and am
writing a musical play about two lovers
from rival gangs that just try to make it in
the world. I think I'll call it South Side
Story.
Banana slicer...thanks to you, I see
greatness on the horizon.

Or you could, you know, get a robe.  The snuggie is just a robe they've convinced people to wear backwards.  Probably so they could save money by getting rid of the belt.

Also, there's a little principal called 'leverage' that allows even the strongest person to use a ball thrower to fling the ball much further with less effort than would be possible without it. More fun for the dog and the human.

Actually, you can do the same thing with a mini-muffin pan turned upside down. There's no need to wrap one around either. Just cut bacon into 3 inch strips, and cross two pieces over the back of the muffin forms, lay a mini-muffin liner over the top of each one and place another flat baking pad over the top to hold the liners down during baking. Bake on 250° F for about an hour. Let cool and you have bacon cups.

Scoop in a dollop of deviled egg filling and you have bacon and egg hors d'oeuvres.

Why not just wear a poncho, shower cap, while holding the umbrella?
Title: Re: Really stupid inventions thread....
Post by: Orbert on July 23, 2014, 11:28:25 AM
Because this is actually more convenient.  When it's windy, an umbrella won't really keep you dry.  This has the convenience of still folding down into a single unit that you can carry, but provides full protection.  She's just wearing her business attire and is fully enclosed, protected from the wind and rain.  Does it look stupid?  Maybe.  But she's dry.

And it must be a bitch to put away after using it.

Post by: Orbert on July 23, 2014, 11:38:16 AM
Probably.  But walking around in a rainstorm fully enclosed in clear plastic and therefore nice and dry sounds awesome to me.

Oh, I agree, I'm just a putz when it comes to folding in a wet umbrella without getting soaked,

This is the opposite of a really stupid invention. This guy is going to make a fortune.

It goes into some detail in the link. The balloons fall off and little o-rings pinch them shut. No need to tie them.

That's cool if you just turned out the lights, but what happens if you wake up after being asleep for 5 hours... the strip certainly won't still be glowing then.

One more thing to clean, and I'm sure it will get pretty disgusting until you do.

Easier to just have a seat.  Middle of the night, I'm half asleep anyway and don't feel like standing there, I'm not turning the lights on because it'll wake me up and I'm going right back to bed in a minute, so fuck "manliness", I sit down.  No muss, no fuss.

1. Mobile phone

3. Shut door / turn on light

4. Get better eyes

5. Put one leg either side of toilet and aim downwards.

1. Something else to deal with, can be dropped into toilet.
2. Something else to deal with, can be dropped into toilet.
3. Blinding, then after your eyes adjust you can't see shit on the way back to bed.
4. That was never the issue.  Eyes do not function in total darkness (see also Riddick)
5. Still no guarantee.

It's not just me that knows their bathroom so well - they just know when they're aiming right ?

As for dropping shit in the bog - put it on a shelf first - then proceed to unleash the fire hose and spray your intestinal vomit all over that porcelain firing range.

While I could see a far-fetched value for motorcycles, it is completely over the top for a bicycle. Keep in mind that they will sell it for $199 a pop. So, you'd have $400 worth of equipment to tell you something a squeeze to the tire will tell you.

I see it being more useful for people like my Uncle who bike a fuck ton, and not always in friendly terrain, having that information could be pretty helpful for them.
