30 Of The Absolute Strangest Inventions That Somehow Exist

Who doesn't love taking selfies? We've pretty much all gotten in on the trend at this point. But did you know you can actually eat your selfie? That's right. This wild invention allows you to take a selfie an imprint it on a piece of toast for you to enjoy. Don't say modern times never gave you anything!

You know when you're at the beach and you see someone cruising around with their metal detector, hoping to find something good? It's always a bit of an interesting sight! Now those who always have their eyes peeled for hidden treasures can be more discreet, with a pair of sandals that detect metal!

We all have a pair of favorite jeans, but if your favorite pair isn't doing it for you, imagine this: a pair of jeans that vibrates. Why, you might ask? These vibrating jeans by the tech company Spinali can alert the wearer as to which direction to take, by vibrating down their left or right side. They can also send alerts to incoming calls or texts! Or … you could just keep your phone in your pocket.

If you always need to have your keyboard handy, well, you could get an iPad or something. Or you could get these jeans with a built-in keyboard. It's totally as weird as it sounds, and it's not really the best fashion statement, either.

Cleaning is tough when you have kids, especially babies. So why not give some of the responsibility to your baby? Ever think of that? Well, someone did and invented a super-ridiculous baby onesie that doubles as a mop. That way, when your little one is scooting across the floor, they'll actually be cleaning. Kind of.

Birds love crumbs, right? Well, this invention (which is actually sort of brilliant) allows birds to access those crumbs with ease. It's a cutting board with holes, so when you're cutting, the crumbs can slide through the funnel. Then they land in the bird feeder outside of the house for the birds to snag! It seems like placement would be the key to really making this work, though.

We all lose our AirPods once in a while right? Well, this invention is aimed at helping you keep track of them. I think. It's an earbud that doubles as a pair of chop sticks. So if you really like sushi and not losing stuff, these might be a fit. But … probably not.

If you ever wanted to know more about your flow, these tampons might be for you. They send data to your phone so you know what's going on down there. We have a lot of questions — not about our flow, but about the legitimacy (and safety!) of this product.

If you've ever needed to muzzle your dog, but didn't want the muzzle to look terrifying, you could buy this quack muzzle to ease your guilt. Just kidding. Please don't buy this for your dog.

Lip balm is one of the greatest inventions of all time. But the flavors people come up with are sometimes not super enticing. Even if you really, really love bacon, a lip balm that smells like it is still pretty cringe.

Cereal is one of those foods that is right for any meal. It is, of course, great for breakfast, great for a snack, and great for lunch or dinner! But when your cereal gets soggy, it's a lot less appetizing. The Never Soggy Bowl, which drops your cereal in at the perfect time, totally alleviates that problem.

A lot of people skip flossing their teeth because it's time-consuming. Actually, it's really not, but this invention, which flosses all your teeth at once, will make it less so. When it comes to unnecessary inventions, though, this one is pretty much at the top of the list.

If you thought there wasn't a solution to ice cream drips, well, you were wrong. No, it's not to eat your ice cream faster. It's this motorized cone that turns your ice cream for you. Hmmm. Let's just say, there's a reason why you've never heard of this before.

Taking off your socks is such a pain, right? Not really — unless you're my 6-year-old. Well, with this savvy item, you'll never have to do it yourself again, because it removes your socks for you. In all seriousness, this could be helpful for people who have trouble bending down, but for the rest of us, it's pretty much the height of laziness.

If you thought Facebook was always watching you, well, it is. But if you're wanting to give a funny gag gift to friends who are Facebook obsessed, this could be a fit. Having Mark Zuckerberg's face as your bathmat is prime creepy, but to each their own.

If you're an avid gardener, slugs might be an issue for you. This little gadget gets rid of the problem! But it doesn't kill the slugs. It stores them. For what? We aren't sure.

Do you ever feel like drowning out the entire world? Well, if sensory overload is an issue for you, there are many ways to calm yourself down. But this pillow, which pretty much shuts out everything, might be what you need. It sure looks weird, though.

If your pup hates the rain, well, don't walk them in it. But in the case that you and your mutt get caught outside when it's wet, an umbrella for very spoiled dogs could be just what you need. This one attaches to your dog's collar to keep them happy and dry.

We're not exactly sure of the circumstances under which one would need this alcohol-hiding tie, but we're just glad to know such an invention exists! Please drink responsibly.

Those who spend a lot of time on the golf course may have run into a very specific problem — being out on the course and having to urinate. This golf club allows golfers to avoid searching for the right tree. That's because the hollow club is made for peeing into.

If you want to have hairy legs, you could totally grow your leg hair out. Shaving is a pain anyway. But if you also need some leg hair in a jiffy, like to avoid unwanted attention, you could also purchase these hair leg stockings. Or … you could just not.

You can't be in a relationship all the time. Plus, being alone sometimes is good for you. But loneliness can be an issue, especially when you want someone to cuddle. The boyfriend pillow allows you to feel safe and secure, even when you're on your own. It's pretty weird — but also serves a purpose.

If you don't like working out, there are a lot of ways to still look great. But they are pretty much all a pain, like eating less. This ab enhancer takes the work out of getting a six-pack. But it's probably not really going to make you actually look or feel any better.

Perhaps you really like pizza but you hate using a traditional pizza cutter. In that case, you might want to use scissors, but regular scissors won't cut it — literally! These pizza scissors will get the job done right.

Making too much pasta leads to waste! Or leftovers. But either way, this tool allows you to make the perfect amount of spaghetti every time. It's probably the most useful thing on this list.

This dresser design is pretty cool for little ones! But it's also pretty weird. Remembering where your clothes are is not that hard, even for kids. Still, there's definitely a reason for this creation.

Remembering to close the toilet is hard. But it's really a good practice because it's much more sanitary than leaving it open all the time. This gadget does it for you after you flush.

Pretty much everyone loves chicken nuggets. But if you love them more than, say, everything, you could wear this chicken nugget necklace that lets you enjoy a tasty snack just about any old time. Some might say it's a thing of beauty. Others would say, "Who the heck even thought of this, and why?"
