There is a very human impulse to make, modify and design things that most of us suppress for convenience. After all, it’s often easier to just go on over to a store and buy something then invest the time, resources, and energy into learning a nifty skill.

But the “DiWHY” group is dedicated to people who instead suppressed that urge and decided to make something themselves. So get ready to be confused, amazed, and perhaps even inspired as you scroll through, be sure to upvote your favorite creations and comment your thoughts below.

I don't hate it.......I thought it was a jellyfish lamp until I read what it was made out of.

It looks so pretty. The idea of showering in it makes me a bit uncomfortable. Which is weird when you think about it, if a garden looked like this I would have no problem walking around in it with bare feet and bare legs. So maybe showering would be okay too, I'd might need to get used to it for a bit.

I.. I don't understand why this is on the list. Why would you hire someone to do this?? And it's clearly a win, not a fail since it's what the artist was going for??

I wonder if it is also a diffuser. You could have a little baby bottle with whatever essential oil and you refill it via the mouth.

Those toilet rolls in the 'wheel space' make it so much funnier for some reason.

I mean, cool that you put that much thought into it, but making your kid sleep on it? It just looks so depressing for a child.

A crocheted toilet lid cover slightly better than a crocheted toilet seat cover. Just noticed, for extra viewing pleasure, the open rubbish bin next to the toilet.
