It's essentially a concrete cup that you put flammable liquid in, then light on fire inside the comfort of your own living room. If that sounds like a terrible idea, you're right!
THE TRANSPARENT TOASTER
A little over 18 months ago, this baffling object popped up on Memebase, well known for contributing nothing of value to the Internet ever. The caption that they gave for this is "How is this not on shelves?! Toast-making would be epic." Let's ignore the crushing sadness that fills my heart at the idea that... Continue Reading →
HERE IS A STUPID IDEA THAT IS STUPID

You know how, each morning, you have a cup of hot coffee and then mess around on your phone, reading Facebook updates or whatever?And you know how, every time you do that, you wish that your phone was simultaneously being charged and that your coffee was getting cold faster?No? What's that? You're saying... Continue Reading →
ELECTROLUX’S TEN DESIGN LAB FINALISTS (ARE ALL FUCKING STUPID): PART TWO
Last week, we talked about the first five finalists (I don't think they're ranked in any way) of the Electrolux Design Lab Competition. All of them, as you may recall, were the product of the drug-fueled raves/Photoshop parties that I have no choice but to believe are the chief activity of all design students. In...

ELECTROLUX’S TEN DESIGN LAB FINALISTS (ARE ALL FUCKING STUPID): PART ONE
Think back to what you were doing on Wednesday, September first, 2010… Don't remember? It's ok, I do. You were eagerly reading through that morning's blog post from your favorite internet writer (me) because I assume you're all loyal and dedicated readers who have been with me from the start. The headline in question was... Continue Reading →
NENDO’S CUTE PLANT-SHAPED AIRLEAF MINI WON’T DO A GODDAMN THING
Every once in a while, I think about how many of my posts come from Inhabitat. Sometimes I feel like this blog is just becoming a response blog to everything they post, and I wonder if I should change the name of the blog to some clever pun like Incompitat or Inhabijustshutthefuckupalready. Sometimes I think... Continue Reading →
IN CASE BEING BALD WASN’T A BIG ENOUGH BLOW TO YOUR EGO…
Apparently bald people would rather not be bald. To that end, there are approximately a billion metric fucktons of products available to aid them in their not-being-bald-based goals. I have no idea how many of them work, but I'm pretty sure that this one goes into the "does not work" column. That's the iGrow, the... Continue Reading →
IT’S A PUDDLE. THAT YOU PAY FOR.
Two artists in Holland would like to sell you this. Now I know you're thinking that that looks like a tiny plastic pill-shaped case with a poorly-contained chunk of ice slowly melting inside, and you're probably also thinking that because it costs $33, it can't possibly be that. It is that. It's an ice cube... Continue Reading →
A COLORFUL HOME ACCESSORY (WAITING TO KILL YOU)
Dominic Wilcox is a designer. "Designer" is a dangerous term, because it usually means some crazy person with ridiculous ideas who then makes CAD drawings or actual mock-ups of his crazy ideas and yet, for some goddamn reason, I appear to be the only person to notice that said idea is crazy. Wilcox actually has... Continue Reading →
APPROXIMATELY AS USEFUL AS…WELL, A PEDAL-POWERED SUBMARINE.
French people are crazy, right? Right.So when I heard that some French engineers had designed a pedal-powered submarine, I had to check that shit out. Here it is.The pros of such a device are as follows:you can tell people you have a submarine. That's all.The cons are that if you show them your submarine, they... Continue Reading →
