People Point Out 50 Popular Products With Design Flaws Everyone Has Just Learned To Accept

Sorry, those 10,000 only count as 3. SMH

Also, many of the Founding Fathers didn't really trust the "peasants" (non-land owners) to make great decisions, and it seems they were right a few times, although maybe the electoral college made it worse, not better. The initial plan was only for land owners being allowed to vote.

All of this!!!

Yup. Needs improvement. Where do we start?

That and you have to figure that most people couldn't travel very far.

But at least most price labels are on the package not the product.

Bar codes take care of that and don't need to be a sticker or in a prominent place.

saving money ig?

I literally stopped buying Tesco's salad sauce because of this. If they're too cheap to provide proper zip tabs, they won't get any money at all. Yes, I am aware that this is a microscopic hill to die on. :D

Amen!

For real 😂 I work for a Ford dealer and we actually get a fair amount of customers going for lower trim levels because there’s less infotainment screen - although I don’t think any new models of any brand come without at least a small one anymore, since all new vehicles in the US and Canada require backup cameras now. (for anyone reading, “driver info centre” is the screen in front of your steering wheel that shows your odometer etc, and “infotainment centre” is the giant screen in the middle of the dash).

I saw what you did there. ;)

Touchscreens are dreadful in a moving car. I tried to operate the satnav of a friends car whilst driving and couldn't hit the "keys" accurately. Anything that you need to operate whilst the car is motion should be a k**b or a button. I much prefer my older car.

Touchscreens are just as dangerous to use while driving as phones. I bought a pre-owned car in Feb and purposely chose one with physical buttons and knobs - there is a screen, but it only exists to show me what music is playing and display the back up camera. I don’t even need to touch the screen to adjust the music because I have steering wheel controls. I can drive and adjust whatever settings I want without taking my eyes off the road. (2019 VW Jetta Comfortline - it’s honestly perfect for me and I highly recommend if anyone feels the same way!)

Is it misuse when the only way to access the sound system is through the touchscreen? Or should I find a place to stop in order to change the radio station?

I wonder if keeping the display and regulating the design of the UI would work, starting with having all the important controls accessible from one screen.

Ok great but the bags they come with should still be Ziploc so we don’t have to do all those extra steps 😂

I use metal binder clips that come in various sizes.

Unless you are me. Buy the bulk size, then need to put some of the cereal back in because you are half asleep when pouring cereal out. It's been a long few months

Or a binder clip!

I transfer and roll up the rest and use a clothespin. You can even put the extra in the fridge if your still worried it will go stale. Cereal is expensive enough without adding a Ziploc bag to it.

If they got the Noble Prize, they could call their invention the Royal Flush.

Nobel P**s Prize??

They already sell this, it’s not common, but it was invented more than 20 years sgo. It’s a special toiler lid

Just put the foot opening garbage can hinge on it. It is a simple machine.

... It's a hinge and some fasteners combined with the already-existing mechanisms that exist in garbage bins with a foot pedal, bro. I could see it as being unnecessary, but it takes a special kind of person to make that into something complicated. Even in trash cans the mechanism for lifting is located behind the hinge, safely away from where you're putting content into the bin. If someone s***s or pisses on the hinge, no amount of simplicity is going to protect that poor toilet.

It’s perfectly normal and natural for humans with penises to stand while peeing. Even cavemen did it.

The mere suggestion of it on a public forum counts as prior art that prevents anybody from getting a patent on it.
