Whoever Designed These 50 Things Deserves Jail Time, But Will Have To Settle Being Shamed In This Group Instead (New Pics)
There are moments in all of our lives when we look around, astonished, wondering where all the quality went and why we’re surrounded by low-effort, unaesthetic garbage. American science fiction author and critic Theodore Sturgeon is credited for coming up with the idea that “ninety percent of everything” is going to be rubbish. It’s known as Sturgeon’s Law, and its effects can be seen in all areas of life, including design.
That’s where this massively popular subreddit comes in. It’s an online group that is dedicated to sharing the most epic and legendary design fails that range from cringe-worthy to beyond ridiculous. We’ve compiled a list of the latest worst offenders for you to enjoy, Pandas.
Bored Panda reached out to Matt Johnson, PhD, to hear his thoughts on Sturgeon's Law and how it applies in modern times, as well as how bad products can affect the reputation of an entire brand. He was kind enough to shed some light on the topic and revealed how the emotionality of a consumer can actually trump the functionality of the product. Johnson, PhD, is a neuroscientist, founder of the Human Nature Blog, and author of Branding That Means Business. You'll find our full interview with him below.

"Although Sturgeon’s Law is not based on any empirical evidence, it does contain a kernel of truth. And while the 90% threshold is up for considerable debate, this loose figure seems to capture the general consumer sentiment towards content and products," Johnson explained to Bored Panda.
"It also speaks to the general threshold for subjective appreciation of art, products, and creative output: since there is so much out there, the consumer must triage. You can’t think everything is amazing, or 'amazing' becomes meaningless. In this way, regardless of the intrinsic quality of the goods, they’ll appreciate and enjoy the top ~10%."

I am convinced the only way this could be so wrong is that the designer was deliberately trolling by seeing how many obvious errors they could make and still get somebody to pay for it. Surely. Either that or the customer tried to screw them on the payment so they deliberately sabotaged it
According to the neuroscientist, the law has become even more true now, in 2023. In his opinion, the threshold for how much rubbish is created now is "likely raised to 95% or higher," as more and more people have the tools to put their work and products on the market. "This comes down to the rise of digital media, generative AI, and the incredible ease of self-producing. As the skill and capital requirements to create new products have become less and less, the sheer volume of creative works has exploded," Johnson said.
"And while this has increased the number of exceptional works, it has also made it harder for people to separate the good from the bad, making their thresholds even higher."
Bored Panda was very interested to learn about the emotional aspect of consumers evaluating the quality of products. We were also curious whether a single bad product could have a large impact on the reputation of an entire brand. "The emotional component is huge," Johnson told us.

One of my primers in school had this glaring mistake, and when I told my teacher it was Africa, not South America, she told me I was wrong, and to go sit back down. (South America was where Africa should be, by the way.) I went home, told my parents, and my mother went down raging, and told the teacher, "You aren't qualified to teach! You aren't even qualified to teach kindergarten, since my 6 year old knows geography better than you do!" Mom actually had to fight the school for them to recall and replace the primers. They even admitted the books were wrong, but, "They're six. They don't know the difference any way and replacing them would cost too much." Mom: "You're right. They don't know the difference. That's what you're supposed to be teaching them!" It seems nothing much has changed in NYC school systems since 1976.

"If the consumer feels positively towards a product, 90% of the battle is won. In fact, emotionality can easily trump the functionality of the product; if a consumer feels good about it, they’re much more forgiving about how it works. For example, many argue that from a purely functional standpoint, the iPhone is inferior to the Google Pixel. But of course, the emotional feelings towards the iPhone (largely stemming from the Apple brand), easily overcome this and then some," the neuroscientist gave us an example of how this works.
Meanwhile, the reputation of any brand is closely tied to the reputation of the products it produces. "If the product dips below expectations, the reputation of the entire brand suffers." To reduce risk, brand managers spend a lot of time on brand architecture: creating distinct brands within a company's portfolio.
"For example, Volkswagen AG (the company) owns the Volkswagen brand, and also Porsche, Bentley, Ducati, etc. This de-risks the spillover effect across these brand assets. In this way, if something goes wrong with, for example, the Volkswagen Taureg, it won’t impact their perception of Porsche, etc."

The bad design-focused subreddit has amassed a whopping 3.4 million members since it was established in 2011. And there’s a lot to love about the online group.
The community has a ridiculously good sense of humor, so you’re bound to see a lot of examples of low-quality designs that are going to get you to chuckle. What’s more, the entire sub is a crash course in taste. Or, well, rather the lack of it. If you work in any creative or design-related field, it’s a place that teaches you what mistakes to avoid.
Unsurprisingly, members of the subreddit are encouraged to stay on-message and only post examples of rubbish design. What this means, in practice, is that there has to be an obvious lack of taste or functionality seen in professional products. The key word here is ‘professional.’ So broken items, manufacturing defects, or clearly amateur designs don’t fit the bill here.

To hand-wash acrylic clothing, use a gentle laundry soap or a standard liquid laundry detergent specified for delicates. Soak the items for 15 to 30 minutes before rinsing them in either warm or cold water. Avoid hot water, which can stretch the fibers.
I have washed delicate laundry in the machine by putting them inside an old pillowcase, which I close and select the delicate laundry program. Works even on clothes with sequins. Basically, I don't hand wash anything but swimwear. If the garment can't stand machine washing, I can't stand the garment.

Really? Cause in my sideline of booking bands for events, I've seen violin capos, sold violin capos (as well as violin fretboards) and seen violin capos used. Then again, I've also seen violins strung with bass strings (lovely sound, try it sometime).

Load More Replies...Capo=wooden clip on the neck of the instrument that changes the tone. You need to grip the instrument beneath the capo, but on those pictures the capo is put so low that you can only grip above, but the capo presses the strings onto the instrument, so the vibrations from playing it are no longer reaching the hand holding the strings on the neck, so there will be no different tones that way

Being a good designer means being great at communication and having unparalleled knowledge about your field. Tim Antoniuk, a design expert from the University of Alberta, previously told Bored Pada during an interview that a lot of responsibility rests solely on designers’ shoulders when it comes to the quality of a building project.
"It's hard, but that's why the best designers get paid so well for their outstanding work. They do great design/aesthetic work, but they also create efficiencies and they foresee and spot (some) problems from happening,” Antoniuk explained to us before.

"Many jobs can not just stop because a designer is not onsite or is not able to be reached. That said, builders need to honor the designer's vision, but again, if there is 'fuzziness' in the drawings or plans, decisions will be made by people that we may not want to make them,” the design expert said.
"We exist in a field that is ever-changing with the introduction of new materials, new construction requirements, and restrictions," Antoniuk told Bored Panda that a builder has to be able to communicate their vision to the contractors and stay on top of changes and novelties in their field of work.

This Infographic Uses Blue For Hot And Red For Cold

Load More Replies...Hot showers do not reduce blemishes. I’m a master Aesthetician and specialize in acne. This ad is misleading in more ways than one. Hot showers will strip your skin of oils and dehydrate it causing it to dry out & overproduce oil. Make sure you’re washing and moisturizing, even if you have oily skin. Wear a broad spectrum SPF of at least 30. Spf is the most important thing you can do for your skin’s health. It will help keep your barrier protected and balanced and that is the key to healthy skin. (Also people that don’t wear it will age like milk.)Do not pop or pick pimples. Popping & picking causes pigment, scarring & more acne. You’re also increasing the healing time. Use hydrocolloid pimple patches. Go see a professional and have them tell you what your skin type is & what kind of acne you have. Don’t use acne scrubs, don’t be aggressive. Reduce the inflammation and don’t over use acids. Don’t exfoliate more than 3x a week. Chemical peels are not for all acne. Fulvic acid in skincare is a game changer! Gut health is important!!! Follow dermatologists on insta:)
Also, why did they use a human being for this and not just a image of a shower? This is clearly designed for predators.

Omgggg yassss. I came here to comment about Tevas, they're amazing quality sandals and they look great too!
Load More Replies...I agree, I'd much rather have been born wherever Tevas is than Tyler, Texas.
Load More Replies...Knowing Texas, and who doesn't since they're always in the headlines, I think the hand should be reversed to show how Texans really feel. Folks from the UK, Ireland, NZ, and Australia will recognize the meaning.

This Small Room Heater (Brand Krhüner), With The Grid Made Of Plastic. It Was Bought 4 Months Ago
I'm not sure if this is a heater problem or a user problem. I've had a few small fan heaters and the grill is usually hard plastic. My current one definitely is and has no problems. So either they've made a mistake with the type of plastic, or the user has blocked the grill. If you leave something to close to the grill it will definitely overheat and might catch fire.
It Took Me A Few Beats To Realize 2312 Was Down This Hallway
Is this Asian? I am thinking of countries that read from right to left trying to make something for English people to read but forgetting they read left to right.
No, I think what they meant to do, was make clear that app. 2314 is furthest to the left ( so you need to walk down the hallway. And that app 2301 is closest to the right. So going left - then there is the first app is 2301 and so on until the last one: 2314. Therefore 2312 is second last.

I have lids that do this. All you have to do is unscrew the k**b a bit and enough space will be created to let the water out.
mine too. uncrewed the metal cap and made couple of tiny dents on its periphery so the water can now escape
This is so annoying. My lid is so poorly designed that you can't touch it without an oven mittens because the metal k**b gets so hot. I've seen too many pictures where the glass lids have just crumbled on top of the food, so I'm planning to replace the lid with a silicone one.I didn't even know k**b was a bad word.🤭

I Set The Alarm Off At Least Twice A Week Inside My Own Pocket. All Buttons Are Recessed Except For Panic
That’s so when you’re in a real emergency, you can just plonk yourself on the ground and it’ll go off and surprise your offenders… uhhh does anyone who hears alarms go off ever think it’s an emergency anymore though? I feel like their accidentally set off so much that people no longer regard them as associated with emergencies
I have never once heard a car panic button and thought, "Someone needs help". I think, "They probably can't find their car in this crowded parking lot" or "Ugh, someone accidentally pressed the button on their remote again or got too close to a vehicle."
Also, if there is a car jacking in progress, unless you are a police officer, the safest thing to do is get far away.
