The Worst Invention Ever

[DistinctlyBenign]

No invention is a bad invention because one day that invention may be needed , even the dvd rewinder(lol) it might be a 1 to 1 million chance but a 1 to 1 million chance happens 9 times out of 10.(cookies are on the table waiting for you.)

I'll claim that cookie, you are referencing the Discworld (First new book for two years in a few days, wooo~).

But at the same time I have to say, that quote kinda only applied to the Discworld, in our real everyday earth 1 in a million chances, happen about 1 times in a million. And there are a lot of bad or useless inventions out there that will never be needed.

In WW11 american inventors put incinerary divices in bats and released them over Japan (in bombers of course) hoping that they would nest in houses and light them ablaze. The devices were on a bad timer so a bunch of bombers got light up in flames because of those blasted bats. That has got to be the dumbest invention ever.

They did have a fascination with attaching explosives to animals at that time, the worst would of have to have been the Anti-Tank Dog, they attached mines to the backs of dogs with a lever sticking up to be set off when they run under a tank. Good thing they were unreliable and more likely to run under your own tanks than the enemies. Poor dogs, who would think of such a thing.

Twitter, as soon as they start charging people. Which they will.

And welcome to the Escapist!

Agreed. Hell, even now.

They won't start charging people, because no one would use it and they know it. Also, twitter is one of the best tools for today's media, it makes my life a million times easier as a journalist.

Unfortunetly William Defoe isn't coming back, :c (that's an unber frown) but they're going to have his "prodigy" (a girl I forget who's playing her) going after the saints.

Cock flavoured lollipops!

I'd have to go with black powder. though the nuke's pretty bad too.

Seriously?
I think those are the greatest inventions ever!

Thw worst invention ever has got to be the Hybrid

Yah killing people is the best, in fact I'm gonna go murder for a bit brb. /sarcasm

You do realize that gunpowder has FAR more uses than just killing people right?

After seeing it.. DVD Rewinder takes the cake for me.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Alarm Clocks are a 50/50 thing. It's a great and such an annoying invention.

Auto-Tune for the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster...Auto-Tune.

Could you imagine where the art of music would be if we had to rely on talent? Instead, Disney (or any label for that matter) finds some random hottie, reduces them to nothing but sex appeal, rapes our ears and the airwaves with their shrill blan screeches, gives them a boat load of money and lets us watch their lives spiral out of control for our own entertainment (that last part is kinda fun).

No invention is a bad invention because one day that invention may be needed , even the dvd rewinder(lol) it might be a 1 to 1 million chance but a 1 to 1 million chance happens 9 times out of 10.(cookies are on the table waiting for you.)

Discworld, of course. In fact, it's lampshaded and parodied at the same time in Guards! Guards! when Nobby, Fred and Carrot attempt to get the chance of hitting a dragon's weak spot with an arrow to exactly a million to one, knowing that it isn't quite there yet. The plan includes standing on one leg blindfolded whistling a tune while shooting. This succeeds in making the odds exactly a million to one (remember that Nobby is often referred to as an expert at judging odds, in numerous books).

Spoiler: However...

This just happens to be the one time in ten when the chance still fails, and they fail to hit it.

On that note, the most ridiculous invention ever is sliced bread. Why the hell would I want sliced bread? I always get the thickest cut I can. What's so wrong with ripping chunks out of your bread using your hands and teeth, eh? If it's good enough for Henry VIII then it's good enough for me, is all I'm saying.

Scented Toilet Paper, it boggles the mind.

On this topic, scented bin liners. They don't even smell nice. It's like putting ketchup on your shit to make it taste nicer: it's just going to make it worse.
