One guy developed a thing so you could hook your laptop to your stearing wheel of your car.... as if cell phones weren't bad enough...

sexual intercourse, we dont need it, scientists made test tubes, and we can please ourselves, but then, where would we get the..."material" to please ourselves with?...think about it...

some chinese lady invented a hat which had toilet paper on it

Revolutionary!

Religon. Think, a world without war. That could be nice.

religion is an invention and its true most warz start due to religion

Except for the war in Iraq. :D

religion is an invention and its true most warz start due to religion
religion is not a 'gadget or gizmo'
same with sex (in most cases) :P

Except for the war in Iraq. :D
that just started because some1 very high up in the government didnt like beards

one that really pisses me off is when you have a problem like a busted phone line. they ask you to call a number. it pisses me off so bad. :furious:

God.
What a horrible invention of the human mind.


sry religious people. I had to say it.

You did not have to say that. There is no reason that you just HAD to say that. Besides, God is not a "Gaget or Gizmo."...

cell phones with unlimited minutes.

as a poor college student, i travel via bus everywhere. (including 45 minutes and from school). the most annoying thing in the world is a pack of 13 year old girls talking on the phone the *entire time*. every so often their "squeels of delight" make me want to slap them upside the head :P

cell phones are a huge cause of traffic accidents as well.

they should be limited to responsible people who actually NEED them.

cell phone licenses, anyone?

I'd say the worst invention/gizmo would be DSL.....I mean it's just some rip-off copy of cable that's slower and has a phone line plugged into a modem....and no matter what you always have to have a firewall in your modem...even if you didn't want it.

not sure where you get your information from, but I have dsl coming soon that is faster than the cable in my area, and I have no firewall in my modem. Actually I dont have a modem at all.

hmmm...gotta beeeee....religion, decaf coffee, and humans. :happy:

rofl, i feel sorry for you

i understand that a bunch of you don't agree with religion and stuff, but this is a 'gadget and gizmo' forum
sounds to me like that would be a great heated topic for the 'general discussion' forum :)

some guy invented a hat with 12 cameras going around it.

WORST INVENTION EVER SATELITE TELEVISION
it rains no tv it snows no tva bird lands on it no tv
second worst SATELITE DSL its slow and apply the tv remarks just switch tv with internet

i would think the worst invention ever would have to be money! i hate money its just paper! why do i have to care about how much money i have all the time if i want to buy this or that I HATE MONEY the barter system is the way to go!

Think about it. Without money, how would everyone get what they worked for? Simply trusting someone is nowhere near reliable. Money is used to sell something, and then buy something with that same money. Money is a currencey that is needed in America, Mexico, and Britten. It's something we all need.

(Think I went a bit overboard...)

something else we all need is the ability to spell words like
AMERICA and BRITAN (try spelling Ugoslavia

DSL works via your phone line. It therefore relies on the telephone network performance, and because poeple happen to use phones lines for phone calls (ironic eh?) and phone calls are quite popular... it can bring down the performace of DSL.

DSL can be slower or faster than cable, but DSL can get upto 8Gbit ps i believe. unless it was Mbit. it's alot better than cable, you just have to be in a good area with a good supplier.

oh, and most DLS if not all should be called shared DSL even cable should be called shared cable because you dont have a dedicated 1Mbit line or what ever... you have a cable that can handle 1Mbit and a network full of people that'll clog you connection up.

T1 lines etc.. are dedicated so you have a full 1Mbit line or what ever which incomaprison to a shared one is really good =)

Worst invention? Weapons? nuclear bombs? and then mass producing them for people to use them as a "sport" or "fun" and have a high death rating for people using them in the streets.

that one to lol

worst invention would be weopens or bombs if we didn't have those then there would be world peace but we would have no meat i know that and something would go wrong.

yes cable is shared, but most dsl is not (at least in the US. Not sure about Europe). My current line is rated at 1.5Mbit, and I get 1.5Mbit constantly as long as the other side can send that quick.

diet coke it worse for you people think it will stop them getting fat but it will just kill you any way with all the chemicals thats what they get for looking up to skinny people go on a diet fattys...... :smokeing1

algebra. What the hell

The False Lap!!!!!

dsl sux we all know it but what is worse is satalite internet. u cant even play online games with it and packet losss is crazy. who thehell ever though that would work.

best internet invention(besides free porn) fiber to the home. unlimited bandwith is the best but it is hella expensive. they do limit it to 50 mb per sec but common 50 mb per second who need more in todays world

The worst invention in the world would be new zealand j/k j/k
the worst invention in the world is Puppet's bad attitude

Except for the war in Iraq. :D

ummmm could you please explain to me how the war in iraq wasnt started due to religion, cause ill be glad to explain to you how its all about religion. k. being the united states and thinking we are the big peacekeeper and we have to get involved in everyones ****, we decide to hang out with the peeps in isreal. but the peeps in isreal and the peeps in the rest of the middle arent really the best of friends due to conflicting religious beliefs. naturally, alot of hte middleasterns dislike us because we are becoming involved in their ****. then one day a man by the name of osama bin laden was like eyyyy fly these airplanes into the twin towers and become a martyr for your religion. then george bush gets heated and hes like "us intelegence has proven that osama bin laden is dead or alive" and he goes and trys to kill him. after that, he decides that we should just bomb the **** out of the entire middle east wether or not they have weapons of mass destruction or not. so you see, religion, while not a gizmo/gadget/invention is still at the core of this matter. and by the way, im a republican, i jsut thing bush is a ****up. (but better than the competition)

but the worst invention ever is a dildo that straps on to ones chin...and vegans

Worst invention: The Battery!
Always low on power, when you need them for something wich people forgot to make it work with normal electricity you cant find the damn things or they are low on power!

Damn i hate batteries!!!! :blowup:

I always thought solar power would do way better for that part.

I had a wireless mouse once, the 10th time it went low on batteries i threw it against the wall and baught exacly the same but with a wire.

Nintendo Ds. im sorry. why do people think it is so much more capable than the PSP?

That is a very creepy thing :bicycle: :pile: :smokeing1 :mf_dough: :

DS is a little bit worse than psp but there mostly same

the DS design is nothing new. It came from Nintendos first portable system called Game & Watch. Here's a pic if some. (http://blogs.sun.com/roller/resources/ChrisM/DSCN1928.JPG) The ones that look like the DS is in the top-left corner. All of them ony had one game on them due to the LCD display being pre-printed with the characters necessary for the one game. I think they came out in 1980 or something.

Worst invention ever has to be the disco ball. Outside of roller skating rinks, they serve no practical purpose. Once roller rinks go, those things are done for.

I always thought solar power would do way better for that part.
Why then would you need a flashlight if the only time you can use it is in the day?!

it stores energy during the day then u can use it whenever you want

(translation) omfg u are so smart i cant beleive u noticed that u should get a medal

i think everyone that knows anything about nintendo knows that. ogh and the psp is the worst invention due to people thinking it is awsome cause u can play movies and music and txt and pics on it, while u can it is relly expensive to. first u need to buy the converter program then u need to buy a hella expensive sony duo card to put it on then u can use it. or u can buy a gba or ds then buy a gba movie player for 25 bucks and a compact flash card, wich is hella cheaper than any duo u can find, then u got it all the converter programs free and u can use it to play anything u want even nes games. oh and u could also buy a gba flash card and use that to play any rom u want all the way from game and watch to the ds.

I have to agree that those little game and watch games do look like DS. And also the PsP so far does suck because the games and stuff that came out for it don't seem to impress that much people due to the fact sony hasn't really made alot of stuff for the Psp...so far I don't seem impressed with it either...but I'm sure they'll get better at sometime...and they'd better because lots of people are not liking the Psp and it's features so far.

psp is new to the handheld gaming market. they'll get better eventually. but i hate sony because the leaders seem like a holes to me. nintendo, is good at the handheld part, but they weren't really compelled to create great handheld systems, now they have some competition, it'll get better too. but i always go with the one of more value, usually no the expensive one, no matter how much better their features may be.

worst invention, tape delay. uncensored tv shows are better because you hear a blank. that and censorship itself, who cares, it's a word, or sexually explicit pictures.

i would say the worst thing ever made has to be the T.V. it kills people, it is the culprit behind the obesity epidemic, it works in conjunction with fast and fatty foods to accoplish its mission. the food cost a dollar for something that could give you a heart attack. they should have the surgeon general warning that says caution: will make you fat, on both the tv and fast food.

So, if your car breaks down in a long strech of highway in 125F weather, cell phones are bad?

Cell Phones might cause crashes and you shouldn't talk and drive. But statistics prove that cell phones have saved more lives than taken, with crimes, health emergencies, ect...

bad inventions eerrrr...

chocolate teapot
ashtray on a motorbike
paper fire guard
THE SPIDER!

and thats just to name a few...

Oh Sandlard, you're an Idiot. I bet you watch MTV. You criticize television, yet you say nothing against other things that are bad such as smoking which kills more people. Also, more people die in car accidents every year than people who die from being overweight. People can make their own decisions with their life. Fascist.
u call everyone that doesnt hold ur point of veiw an idiot and other names dont u

worst invention would be weopens or bombs if we didn't have those then there would be world peace but we would have no meat i know that and something would go wrong.

What's wrong with no meat?

You can have a perfectly healthy lifestyle without any meats at all, I'm living proof!

you don't live as healthy without meat it makes you weaker and what not meat has some esential stuff in it

you don't live as healthy without meat it makes you weaker and what not meat has some esential stuff in it
Actually, you could live healthy. Beans, without the gas, would be the perfict food. They're plentiful, taste good, and have proteins and other stuff in it for healthyness. Ever wonder why Hippies had bad gas?

Don't get me wrong, I love meat. Bacon... steak... ham... MmMmmmM...

meat makes you strong vegtables are second most important

meat tastes better though

this proberly doesnt count, but the worst invention eva is the envention of ........the jeans-so-low-that-ur-knickers-hang-out style that guys wear so that thier boxers hang out OMG!!! pull up ur pants!! no one wants to c!!!

lol i know i can get all the nutrients elsewhere i can also get heart disease, pesticide and steriods elsewhere too

Speaking of Jeff Foxworth, I have the page-a-day calendar.

One of the best ones this month was:

You might be a red neck if your favourite actor is ET.

algebra. What the hell

Algebra is used when scientists need to calculate masses and such, things that don't have a name or number, in short algebra and bracketing can short a very long sum to just a few numbers and brackets.

I forget the actual scientific use in where it is very useful but i remember being taught that it's very important when coming to descover such things as manipulating DNA. Everything in this universe seems to be a mass of numbers...Kinda like the matrix >.<

**EDITED** Sex toys are not appropriate for this forum

If you ask me, iPod Nano. It's new, and completely useless.

For just a slight $50 dollars more, you can get 5 times the memory with a 20 gig iPod. Same with the mini's, they're just so stupid. If you can go ahead and afford the mini, you might as well save for a little more for the 20 gig. Even if you're like me, and only have 100+ songs, the storage of a 20 gig harddrive can come in real handy for anyone, especially a student who needs to transfer files.

Sure, the Nano uses Flash instead of hard drive tech., and could possibly lead to a cheaper, bigger storing iPod, it's still pretty, well, ***. iPods are small enough as they are. </worthless iPod rant>

^ worthless user

The worst invention ever is probably the mosquito.

**EDITED**
Now that is one crappy invention....

Yeah, that is very moronic.

***s would like it

Damnit....I know that this is going to get me another ban. But I do consider it one of the most useless (*cough*) inventions ever.

It might. How many times have you been banned?

Twice that I know of.

Yoda sucks

**EDITED** Sex toys are not appropriate for this forum
Which section are they appropriate for? *prepares to be banned for smart ass comment*

Which section are they appropriate for? *prepares to be banned for smart ass comment*

They wouldn't ban you for that.

Ugh, I'm trying to get a 'sigamp' sort of thing going that works with iTunes (as it's all I use since it's always syncing with my ipod), but the big one is ****in pay to use, and there is no way I'm going to pay for a program that does something so simple, no thank you, I'll make one myself.

Talking won't get you there.

...*has taken html and xml classes* It'll be up within 2 days.

Yoda is awesome, so are many other things that I like.

Ahhgh!---but*plug...eww.

You, icekiller233, need to die.

the worst invention ever was probably the rock-em sock-em robots.

EDIT: i hate simluposts

ok so why do i need to die? give me a good reason u jackass.

the L33t language

1337 1@ngu@g3 r0z0rz, 101 (leet language roxorz, lol)

I'd say Axe or any other body spray, sure it's great for gym clothes that smell horrible, but you're covering up the smell with an even worse smell

speed stick is good... I think the worst invention is reality TV

it's a stick, not a spray though, that's the point

what about the GBA, it's been beat out by the GBA SP and now by the GBA Micro, what a waste of a design

Ah... well i don't really know about these "new" gameboy systems. I don't really like nintendo. I only like Legend of Zelda. I wish it were for PS2 Or Xbox

You, icekiller233, need to die.

the worst invention ever was probably the rock-em sock-em robots.

EDIT: i hate simluposts

no rock em soockem robot are 1337 they are well cool i like em nooooooo ahhhh wtf im conused cheese!!!

no, you say cereal, not cheese, when you're in a pickle (damn I hate food references)

what about the urinal cake? what the hell is the purpose of a urinal cake anyways?

Axe is what made the locker room for swim team not make people puke. Some kids just let their suits mold up in there. Sick stuff.

Ugh... that IS really gross

man, that stuff actaully made a kid faint today, he sprayed way too much and apparently got high off of it, now if you can get high off of a body spray, ****ing tone it down

man, that stuff actually made a kid faint today, he sprayed way too much and apparently got high off of it, now if you can get high off of a body spray, ****Inga tone it down
God, You think he might sue or something now?
Like I seat the L33T language sucks ass

his fault, he actually sprayed the whole can on his clothes and on himself (eww, that was a *** comment there) and basically, he got high, and collapsed, thankfully, he landed in a basket of towels

his fault, he actually sprayed the whole can on his clothes and on himself (eww, that was a *** comment there) and basically, he got high, and collapsed, thankfully, he landed in a basket of towels
Who collapses when they are high?

people who get really, really, high and lose their balance

What are knickers?

The IBM clone.

Illegal Drugs (except Marjuana)

The worst invention was the ... envelope opener.

AOL, it is teh suxxorz!

DDT wasn't bad as far as crappy inventions go...

The worst inventions would be games made by Derek Smart.

sloganizer.net

Sloganizer is cool!

has anyone said the DVD rewinder yet? if they have then the worst invetion ever is The Master Of Disguise movie

If anyone didn't say Runescape then I'd say it.

The term "avarage Joe", because such a person doesn't exist.

Religion, this thread is over

Reality TV, communism and censorship.

ipods

Zwinkies

Frookie. I win.

maybe worst invention: un-brella (on a tv show)

Frookie. I win.

oh really, you don't win idiot!

Reality TV, communism and censorship.

communism wasn't bad though, it actually allowed people to realize that they're not so special when they're stuck with the same stuff, though in order for it to work, the ruler would have to have all of the same stuff, which would mean he would have the same political power

worst inventions: bias, stereotypes, religion

oh really, you don't win idiot!
