Your country's best invention

[Brnin8]

Loading Ready Run?

As far as stuff goes I'm going to go with IMAX, ice hockey, and the Canadarm!

 

[KingPiccolOwned]

Well, I haven't tried it personally, but I'm realatively certain that fried butter is the sort of uniquely American innovation that almost perfectly sumarizes my homeland.

Really, not television?

There's a few. Personal favourites include insulin, the telephone, and the 56k modem (dial-up might blow, but it was all you fuckers had in the 90s).

Well here is a list made by CBC for Canadian inventions.

I like that insulin is number 1.

 

[AnAngryMoose]

I'm from Ireland. The only thing I can think of us inventing off the top of my head is Guinness. Beat that.

 

[REPLAY13]

i'm english so i'm gonna have to with... GRAVITY! suck it!

SIR ISAAC NEWTON IS THE DEADLIEST SONUVA ***** IN SPACE!

 

[Xero Scythe]

Nuuuu-uuuuke!
America made the first nuclear bomb, and the first shuttle that could feasibly sustain human life.

The shuttle thing is wrong. It was the Russians. They beat us with first human, first woman, first dog and first space station in space. But we got the moon so lets call it even

no, they had the first drone in space. It was called Sputnik, and that was what fueled the red or dead arguments. America got the first human in space.

What....the......fuck???

Yuri Gagarin - 12th April 1961

oh shit, that's right...
Sorry people, my bad! I mixed up first person in space with first person on the moon. I sincerely apologize.

[Sedik]

Sorry to disappoint all the Americans but the Germans invented the automobile

Every country has it fair share of smart people, and sometimes, one of these geniuses creates something bloody amazing that everyone loves. So what is your favorite invention by someone in your country?

I'm from Sweden, and my favorites are 1. The fridge, and 2. Spotify.

Hell yeah! Spotify! (except for all those ads "Hey! There's a cougar on my key chain!""I know what it's trying to say 'I am not a lion. I am a panther or a cougar'")


Britain's best invention? Thermos? Lightbulbs? Telephones? Televisions? Cannot chose, these are all rather useful (with the exception of the Television, I watch less television than the rest of my family. Except my sister, she's at university mostly and has no tv licence).

...
We invented the fridge?

Anyway, we invented the dynamite (Alfred Nobel was Swedish anyway).
And the Nobel Price.

And Ireland invented the Tank, the Submarine, and flavored potatochips.

Clearly Ireland is the best country ever.

EDIT: Oh, hey, look what I found [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_inventions]

Technically, a Dutch invented the Submarine.

Most awesome inventions must be the CD and the microscope. As for discoveries: Australia/New Zealand. (or Nieuw Zeeland for the dutch ;d!)

No problem!

Russians also put the first dog in space. I'd like to think that somewhere up there in the dark vaccuum, there's an oxygen-free pod with a frozen and perfectly preserved ex-stray.

When aliens visit earth, they'll approach the dogs first, thinking they're the most intelligent life on the planet!

 

[ToMuchAtOnce]

from the English:

Football (soccer)
Rugby - William Webb Ellis
Cricket
Tennis
Badminton
Boxing
Darts
Table-Tennis
Ping pong


oh and the colossus computer, and the jet engine, oh and the first ever SMS

(I wiki-ed this, soo dont know if it's all true.)

Canadian here. I'm torn between the telephone and the push-up bra.

Well I have my poster of Scottish inventions here (I got it from "The Scotsman"), and it turns out we invented the telephone... and possibly the push-up bra.(Maybe not that one. It's something called the "Ultimo" bra? Designed for comfort.)

We also invented the Pneumatic tyre, the bicycle and penicillin.

EDIT: Alexander Graham Bell, born in Edinburgh- invented the telephone.

We also invented the Ghillie suit.

 

[MetaKnight19]

This might be a worthy contender

Walton, Earnest (1903 - 1995) In 1932, Earnest Walton (from Dungarvan, Co. Waterford) in collaboration with John Cockcroft, became the first people in history to artificially split the atom, thus ushering the nuclear age. Walton and Cockcroft had vindicated Einstein's famous equation (E=mc2) and successfully converted matter into energy. In 1951 they were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics - making Walton Ireland's first and only Nobel science laureate.

I'm just putting this out there, I still have to google about and make sure everything is correct!

Here is the site I got it from (so you don't think I'm making this stuff up):

[logiman]

Insuline, the ejectable seat, Gerovital, cybernetics, the pen and the jet engine.
Not bad for a country almost nobody heard of, ey?

Actually Ireland made the first army commissioned submarine and over here we call them crisps ; )

OT: hmm Irish inventions...

Pulsars, Radiotherapy, Nickel-zink batteries, guided missiles, the electron, seismology, the hollow needle syringe, Complex Numbers (possibly my favourite), the beaufort scale....
