10 New Inventions That Solve Nonexistent Problems In Your Life

ADVERTISEMENT

Did you know that May is also Evil Genius Invention Appreciation Month? Well if it wasn’t before – it is now! Matt Benedetto touching base with my latest batch of Unnecessary Inventions. I am on a quest to find nonexistent problems and solve them with unnecessary products. The last few weeks I have crafted a new collection of inventions that you will undoubtfully want yet unnecessarily never need!

Always remember, you will never get your hands on the inventions you are about to witness and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Catch up on all of my inventions on Bored Panda here, here and oh yeah here too. I promise you will be impressed.

Be sure to also follow along on Instagram to stay up to date on each invention as they are created! You can check out my previous posts here, here, and here.

Bumblebee 5 years ago

In the Netherlands (known for our biking) and probably some other countries too, we get taught the simplest trick at a young age: Just stick out your left arm if you'll turn left and right arm if you'll turn right. Stick the arm out a few meters (/feet for the USA and maybe UK? Not sure) before you turn and keep it up for a couple of seconds. This way other people in traffic know exactly where you'll go! Of course a lot of the youth does not think it is cool and often don't do it. Easy as that! Just as effective as the whichway, without having to carry something on your shoulders, child-friendly and.. free! And youth or just people in general who don't do this, would probably not use the whichway also. So no difference there :-)
