Useless Inventions Made When Inventors Get Bored

Tune in to see how scientists keep inventing useless inventions!

Legal Stuff.

"Speech Stopper Gun" when you think about it, ANY gun can do that.

The robotic litterbox is actually a good idea, especially if you have cats with health issues. It monitors the amount of litter used and number of times the cat goes. It also monitors weight. And for someone with chronic pain and back issues, not having to clean litter daily is worth it.

Aren't "air-conditioned" shoes called "sandals"? They were invented 10000 years ago

I have seen a watchmaker use two of these single finger glove things, to keep the tiny little pieces of a luxury watch movement clean, as he re-assembles them after they come out of the watch cleaning machine. Sure you could also set a timer and wash your hands every 15 minutes for 6 hours of work and only leave somewhat faded and less pronounced fingerprints.

I bought Neko Mimi (the cat ears) 8 years ago when they first came out. They're fun, they're silly. They respond semi-accurately (because its not _just_ an EEG sensor). People react to them when you wear them, and end up wanting to try them on. They're a short lived novelty for sure, but the bigger reason why they flopped in the long run, is because the servos that rotate the ears are delicate, and everybody ends up pawing at them to turn them, wearing the motors out.

Oh, and the cat poop scanner is a legit good idea b/c cats are notorious for hiding signs of illness. There is, however, an easier 'smart' litter. It's essentially a bunch of litmus paper pellets and changes color if something is off with your favorite floof's latest movement.

Actually for the finger gloves my dad has them at work (he’s a chef) for when someone gets a cut they put a bandage on and then one of those so they can keep cooking and not get anything dirty

[KimuriTheRogue]

I've used the finger gloves as a cook when we accidentally cut our fingers, it helps prevent bandages coming off the hand when working back in early 2000s

Ah yes, my favorite invention. Hollow-eyed mask that stares through me into my soul and looks like it's about to produce black acid, posses me like a demon and melt me away. Also beauty tool.

“I’ve lost enough brain-cells for one day.” This guy is hilarious 🤣🤣

[kommanderketamine]

Gotta say, the Neurotech Company sounds like a company that would try to take over the world using Nanobots that would control your brain

[abbeyyates]

Am I the only one obsessed with the adorable be amazed mascot walking around in the videos?:)

When he said "butt truffle" I almost died I was laughing so hard. That is epic! Can't believe I've never heard that one before.

The speech stopper would work. When I worked at a grocery store and had to page a manager to my department, the overhead audio would sound a split second after I would speak, which would mess with me so bad I couldn't talk after just a few seconds. My brain would actually get confused hearing that echo. The only way I could get the message out was to plug my ears first.

[frenchhens]

That robot tail would make it very hard to sit down. Can you imagine a frail elderly person having to shift that thing aside just so they could sit and rest?

[viviantong]

The finger gloves / finger cots are super useful for protecting individual fingers if they're injured and you work with your hands. I'm an artist and I love using them as they're less sweaty in comparison to full gloves and keep ink/paint away the few fingers that I usually get messy when I make work.

I work at Walmart and for a short while we had a robot named Bossa Nova that would scan the isles at night and do the ordering of merchandise for us. The problems arose when people were in the way so it couldn't scan isles or when someone put items in the wrong spot, meaning we weren't getting proper merchandise in because it wasn't being ordered right. Ah I miss Bossa Nova and his blindingly bright lights

[sydneecook]

I usually have never seen anything shown on this channel, but when I saw the Hawaii Chair, I was shocked because I've actually seen commercials for this and had friends that owned it

[yiyi]

10:57 this would actually come in handy for those who foster kittens/cats
