History is awash with examples of incredible discoveries, inventions and innovations that we take for granted today, but were widely mocked as crazy when they first came to light. Maybe, just maybe, there is future genius hidden in some of these ideas, taken from the subreddit CrazyIdeas.

I mean, who thought that injecting people with a benign form of disease to immunize them was a good idea at first? Or putting wings on a tube and attempting to fly in it? Absolute madness!

What we have here is a list a crackpot ideas that nobody could ever take seriously. Or could they? Some are undoubtedly just stupid and funny, others are actually rather insightful. There is even the odd nugget of genius where you think “hey, that could actually work!”

Scroll down to check out the latest batch of crazy ideas from the internet’s hive mind, and don’t forget to vote for your favourites!

There is a 'neither of the above' option. It's just picking neither option and casting a blank ballot. I'm pretty sure if such ballots were more numerous than any candidate's, that would not be a long tenure in office for the 'winner'.

I've actually had the same idea. I've been thinking about it ever since they started campaigning in 2016. Our country is now screwed because people all over thought they were picking the lesser evil. There were/are things wrong with both of the candidates. Unfortunately because of the Electoral Votes, a very bad, evil man is now in charge of our country and the nuclear codes that could destroy the world. And it seems like Congress isn't going to do anything to stop him. I think the whole Electoral thing should be trashed. In a true democracy, the winner is chosen BY THE PEOPLE. That means the popular vote would actually matter. We The People would ACTUALLY have our voices heard, and WE would be the ones to have the final say in who is voted into office. So, if he does get impeached, I want them to immediately find someone that doesn't belong to his "administration". I DO NOT WANT PENCE TO INHERIT THE PRESIDENCY!!! Nor anyone else that trump put in powerful positions.

A reality show idea with gay men.

11 gay men and 1 straight man are locked in a house. The object for the gay men is to find out who isn't gay. Once a week someone gets outvoted, until 2 are left, or the straight man is out. If the gays manage to outvote him, they win 1 million dollars. If the straight man is among the 2 last people in the house in the end, he wins 1 million dollars.

Now here's the twist: None of the men are actually gay, they just all think they are the one straight man.
