    Isn't "missing the deadline" just the cherry on top of a bad design, when you look at it from a service perspective? :D

      missing a deadline isnt inheriently bad
      its dishonest, but not something that always works out
      if there is a flaw that isn't sought before the deadline, and its basically out of the question as a core feature of the product, they should be able to fix it even if it takes another month to a year.
      if it means the product comes out as envisioned, then I support it. but if they don't make consistent updates and proof of their progress, then I wouldn't follow their practice

    Here's another bad design you can use as a joke: You make a computer mouse that's rechargeable but instead of putting the charging port on the front, side, top or anywhere it can be used while being recharged you place it at the bottom.
    Oh wait that's a real product by Apple Nevermind.

      I have never seen an Apple mouse, had to look it up and holy cow, it is in fact true.
      Not only that, but the shape of the mouse looks way too flat and symmetrical, I'd be surprised if it did not get very uncomfortable to use it for any extended period.

  • @circeciernova1712
    @circeciernova1712 2 роки тому +6

    I feel like the Nasal Carrot Holder could be better if it was used as a way to get dressing or another topping all over the carrots. Fill the nostrils with a topping like ranch dressing or guacamole, then insert your carrots into the nostrils and thoroughly coat them in your topping of choice.
    My cousin actually had an inflatable dart board, the darts were suction cup darts. It still didn't work well, the darts mostly just bounced off.

    I loved the Bottle Opener Lamp at 1:11:26
    Just reading the text:
    Bottle Opener Lamp - but... why?
    Big shade for style - ok?
    Sleek, modern design! - ok, sounds good.
    Integrated bottle opener - yeah but why?
    Copper coating to stay protected from shocks! - ... wait, copper is highly conductive! You'll get zapped from this thing!
    Female outlet adapter - oh great, I can't even plug it in! haha
    And then the demonstration - you can't open the bottle without spilling over the copper wire - genius haha
    It was great fun to watch! Hope you'll make more of these :)

    That toaster design has one huge advantage by denying a build up of crumbs inside the toasting body. I'm thinking of a fixed wire rack as a base to hold the bread vertically and a hinged 'toasting body' with handle that comes down onto the toast and then retracts when complete - think we're onto something lol

    With respect to the toaster on the ledge of the bath tub, I would have made the bath tub a toaster. Each toaster slot a narrow tub filled with bath water with one or two respective bather's languishing. A large power cord connecting the tub/toaster to a wall socket. What the hell...since the absurd seems to be the objective than it should be allowed to go where it needs to go
