Top 10 Worst Inventions
-
Cigarette
Deadly and stinky.
Centuries ago, a scientist could've experimented to see the dangers. It took a long time to figure it out. But nope, they thought it was glamorous and cool to smoke.
Disturbing fact about cigarettes: They pay to have smoking in movies and TV shows. That's why smoking seems to be everywhere in the entertainment industry.
An even more disturbing fact: Cigarette companies are now aggressively targeting youth. By "youth," I mean people under the legal age to purchase tobacco in some cases. I've heard that they're placing cigarettes in snack shacks near lower-income schools. They also label younger generations as "new smokers." This fact doesn't come as much of a surprise, but it's still incredibly disturbing. It goes to show how downright immoral and evil tobacco companies are.
Another even more disturbing fact: You don't have to smoke to be negatively impacted by tobacco. If you breathe in secondhand smoke, accidentally or not, you could literally get addicted to it if exposed enough times. Even if you aren't addicted, you would at least be more vulnerable to tobacco. It's scary how actions from other people, which you can't control, can lure you in and ruin your entire life.

Hair in a Can
This needs to be number 2. Cigarettes are much worse.
-
Auto-Tune
It's not fair. People long ago spent years training to perfect their voices. Now, a little baby can sound like the next big thing.
-
Diet Water
Water is already 0 calories and fat-free, so why make a diet version? You can tell this is a cash grab right away. I've never seen one, but it's probably just normal water, except with a label saying "Diet."
Water literally has 0 calories. Why do we need a diet version? This just sounds like corporate marketing.
The fact that this even exists is just laughable. Really, how can there be diet water when pure water already has 0 calories? Shaking my head.

Doggie Doo Game
And Gooey Louie. Pull the boogers out of his nose until his brain pops out of his head.
-
Virtual Boy
I wonder, if this was never made, would VR be bigger today? I'm sure this put people off from wanting to get into it.

AI Age Verification
It's honestly laughable that so many companies feel the need to be the ones babysitting children with this (when that's literally what parents are supposed to do) and are under the impression that this will protect children. I mean, don't get me wrong, children's safety is important, but what this will actually do is misconstrue some adults to be children and force anyone in general to put out private information (which, keep in mind, a lot of people were taught since kids not to share with strangers). This is not only AI slop but AI slop taken to a whole new level. If AI already often screws up with giving accurate answers and making high-quality content, what makes you think it will infallibly keep children safe? This is one of the worst things to ever come out of the internet and should be banned tbh, and the bandwagon of installing this is just repulsive.

Metaverse
It's a stupid game invention that failed. We didn't need that.

Portable Sauna

The Butter Stick
I prefer spreading it with a knife, to be honest.
-
Segway
The guy who made it died by falling off a cliff on one. I mean, come on! (Look it up.)
-
Inflatable Dartboard
Haha! The quickest game of darts in history!
-
Toilet Roll Hat
You could just keep tissues in your pocket, which would be better. At least you don't get laughed at by mean people. It's the maddest idea yet.
Are you worried that your cubicle may not have any toilet paper? Then why not wear one on your head?
It just looks ridiculous! Why can't you just keep tissues in your pocket, for God's sake?

Pay Toilet
Yeah, pay toilets are for people who basically fish for more money. *Cough, Cough* Mr. Krabs
Whoever invented these is greedier than Mr. Krabs.
It's a human right. Why should we pay?

Bombs

Selfie Stick
They are used to extend out for a perfect selfie, and they have made people act stupid and make stupid decisions that led to them being banned in lots of places. They were banned in places like Lollapalooza, Comic Con, and Disney parks.
People have taken them on rides, which is wrong and dangerous. One time, a man used one on California Screamin' to get the perfect selfie at the top.
Also, people have bumped them into each other either accidentally or on purpose around the parks, so Disney banned them forever. Universal and other parks have banned them as well, and we should realize that they are only a nuisance and cause harm and make us look stupid.
Thank goodness they're banned at those places, and they should be banned worldwide.

Plastic Grocery Bag
Other than the fact that plastic bags are pretty harmful to the environment, they can break easily if you put a certain amount of load in them. They also blow away like tumbleweeds in the wind when they have little to no load.
Paper bags are a much better option as they can carry a lot more load than a plastic bag and are more durable.
-
NFTs
A less problematic reason why people hate them: they're ugly, copy-pasted, and annoying (at least with the Bored Apes and other similar projects). The community revolving around these things is also annoying. Some of them get really angry over people screenshotting their NFTs. Like, calm down - you still own the NFT. They're only taking the image of your NFT.
A more problematic reason why people hate them: they use up lots of electricity and are overall harmful to the environment.
I've even seen some Bored Ape-like projects (that are advertised on YouTube) try to use the "a portion of profits goes to charity" excuse to be seen in a positive light. That's probably just going to get your project even more backlash since most people will assume you're lying.
