Useless inventions

I'm just sitting here on this rainy day watching cars come and go, and I'm looking at the cars that have rear windshield wipers using them at full speed. It's not even raining hard.

Like.. what is the point?

So, that inspired me to create this thread. What do you think are useless inventions or gadgets or what-have-yous that just shouldn't be a thing, much less a requirement?

It smells more like Sturgis with 90* temps and 90% humidity.

How is that useless? I drink decaff tea and coffee AND coke. Without decaff options, I'd have to drink warm water.

However alcohol free beer is useless.
Who actually drinks beer just for the taste of it?
There are far better tasting alternatives if you can't get drunk.

I would rather drink the Harley Davidson eau de toilette than either of those two options.

I thought those are called 'motorcycles'?

Call me insane, but I think that's what I've been missing in life.

4 cylinder automatic Camaro. 4 cylinder automatic any “fast car”. You’ve made it a eunuch and should be ashamed.

Do you put coke in the coffee? Does that give you the jitters? What about the numbing effects?

This is the cruelest post I've ever seen!

So I suppose vodka is just potatoes.

I agree with this. Back in my street racing days I had a kid argue with me that his car was superior to mine because he go zero to one hundred in a straight line with only one hand on the wheel and no shifting.

It was an easy grand.

Should’ve been an easy grand and a smack in the mouth for blasphemy. Every time I see someone pay that much for one of these newer sports cars with no oomph I die a little inside.

You mean it smells like eagles screeching perched atop old glory crying tears of pure spring water while the national anthem plays in the background.

I just love how modern medication leads to more medication being needed.

Take this medication it will help with your stomach issues. Oh, you're getting sick all the time now? That's because the medication you're on suppresses your immune system.

It's even more absurd when the medication's side effects can cause what it's supposed to be treating in the first place.
