"There, I fixed it!"

From the submitter:

So I get up today and the kids are up before me watching TV. That’s fine, it Sunday, got to sleep in, figured I go check my email and puts around online for a few. Later I go into the living room, to turn the TV so I can start watching Game highlights before the Super Bowl, but can not find the remote. I mean I searched everywhere. The usual places… In the couch cushions, under the couch, behind the couch and behind the TV…. nowhere to be found.

That fridge clearly has wheels, you’re not doing this nearly as dangerously as you could be.

Going broke to buy a ultra-high-end gaming PC and not having any money left to cool it properly? Worth it.

If you thought you looked cool walking around town with studio headphones on, attempting this DIY mod will put you on par with Shaft.

The way it’s teared off makes me hope there was a little kid in the stall who thought this was some sort of gift and excitedly broke it open only to discover an IRL version of the crappy sharpie rendition.

And I get the feeling that it’s not supposed to hold AA batteries… but then again I’m not a photgraphometer.

Announced in 1932, the Dynosphere was marketed to be the “automobile killer,” a new mode of transportation that would revolutionize the market by being more reliable and affordable than its 4 wheel counterparts. Popular Science featured the machine on its cover and the world quickly became excited about this revolutionary invention.

Fitted with a gasoline engine at its base, it powered the large latticed wheel and pulled it towards itself – pushing the whole machine forward. It could hold up to two people and had the potential to get up to 30mph. There was also a smaller, electric one-man model up for grabs.

The world was excited to see the machine in actions, and hundreds gathered in the seaside resort of Weston-Super-Mare, England to watch its inventor, Dr. J. A, Purves, take the thing for a ride. Alas, the machine did not live up to its hype. It was unwieldy, large, and because its only way of steering was for the driver to physically lean in a desired direction, had horrible handling. It even ran over a spectator during its maiden drive.

Responding to the objections from consumers, Dr. Purves tried to come up with safer models that could hold more people had better visibility. Unfortunately, the 5-passenger version he concepted never made it past the drawing board and the other models were never made available to the public. A shame.
