  • AmyVernon, on 08/07/2008, -3/+36the butter cutter FTW. I would totally buy one of those.
  • dnields, on 08/07/2008, -0/+56The laser scissors would be so much cooler if they actually used the laser for cutting.
    • Flameaether, on 08/08/2008, -1/+1Scott bring in the laser sharks!
    • Tomchei, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3And if the laser weren't held by your hand.
      Face it, the laser isn't going to be straight when you move you hand per slice of the scissors.
      • darkphenox, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1so you make a mark at the other side where you stop cutting, I think its for people who can't do that and imagine a straight line between the starting point and the ending point
  • brendanryder, on 08/07/2008, -0/+27"CUP & COOKIES"
    ***** yes, that is awesome.

      mmm time for a cold shower to wash away the sarcasm!
      • KingGorilla, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1I'd like to leave it on and let it settle on my skin.
    • thecarpe, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1unless you're left handed

      cookies on floor...face-palm
  • w3bjunkie, on 08/07/2008, -2/+4Amazing...i wear size 10, buy me those slippers.
    • alexforcefive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1No, your freaky giant feet scare me
  • faceless323, on 08/07/2008, -5/+6The ladder is very cool.
  • dougvfr750, on 08/07/2008, -0/+21Ladder might look cool, but I'd fall off that thing in a second.
  • Oddish, on 08/07/2008, -1/+19That ladder looks like a death trap.
  • Hellman109, on 08/07/2008, -2/+33The toaster is pretty friggen cool!

    The ladder is a death trap though!
    • Tripper44, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1Yeh that ladder wouldnt last 5 minutes on a building site :P
    • Kzoo, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1The toaster looks cool, but the toast is burnt. . . I thought that was what it was supposed to prevent :P
  • synystar, on 08/08/2008, -2/+29The locked coffee cup is dumb. I'm pretty sure I could figure out a way to plug that hole without the "key". And the laser scissors are dumb as well. You're supposed to follow the straight line? The line is attached the scissors. Think about it....
    • Pushkin, on 08/08/2008, -7/+1erm, the laser lights a straight path to the end of the sheet. You just need to hold the laser parallel to the edge - if in the middle you just need a spot at the other end instead of marking the whole path. So it would work. Think about it
      • synystar, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Well, that's true now that I think about it. If you can keep the laser on a marked spot then you don't even have to watch where you're cutting. Just cut. Good point.
      • hmunkey, on 08/08/2008, -1/+3The only reason you don't cut straight is because your hand doesn't move perfect straight, dumbass.

        You could draw a line on the paper to do it, but if it's not permanent on the paper it'll move with your hand.
      • Pushkin, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1I was not referring to having DT, just to not have a reference to the edge. Making two small marks on the edge makes a huge difference to marking the whole path - this line would have to be cut away too - from both sides of the material even... Much harder to keep a straight reference to the other side if it is more than the width of a piece of paper away but I guess it is hard to envision if one is still using the kindergarden-issue scissors.
  • sleepyjjk, on 08/08/2008, -2/+4That infant pillow is pretty freaky.

    I think that could really give a child nightmares when he or she grows up. (If they remember it that is)
    • Tripper44, on 08/08/2008, -1/+2They should rename to "The Pedo Hands" lol
  • barcelona10, on 08/08/2008, -3/+3the lock cup and the banana holder are pretty good
  • oxylysenko, on 08/08/2008, -2/+3im in love with the cookie cup!!!! i want that
  • djhen, on 08/08/2008, -9/+3Yo, hook me up with some o dem corn holders...YO!

  • cynicalbrit94, on 08/08/2008, -4/+1Most are stupid, if you thing for 5 seconds past the way they look.
    • woofer1125, on 08/08/2008, -0/+9how do you thing for 5 seconds?

  • rebirf, on 08/08/2008, -0/+12Transparent toaster looks kind of cool though...and the day clock...when I'm not in school I forget what day it is all the time. Not saying someone should have made a ***** day clock.
  • sesmm, on 08/08/2008, -1/+2BANANA GUARD - Protect Your Banana!
  • drbadass, on 08/08/2008, -0/+9after months of pining for it, i finally gave in and bought a giant remote last week. it makes me feel like i'm in big world in super mario 3.
  • drpleau, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1I would love to buy most of those things as gag gifts.
  • Rimher, on 08/08/2008, -2/+0The towel is simply genius!
    • fuzzy889, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1That was so the most boring and uninteresting of all the inventions.
  • decet, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2I definitely want the transparent toaster. Too bad it's just a concept study so far.
  • tylermenezes, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1Good job failing. I've never seen anyone literally put up a "out of bandwidth" page that links to other "out of bandwidth" pages. Seriously, just upload a copy of your page to S3.
  • edebolt, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1no mention of the combination machine gun / fishing pole. WTF
  • lotec, on 08/08/2008, -1/+1no jump to conclusions matt, no care.
  • dannybierek, on 08/08/2008, -5/+0am i the only one that would get the toilet seat lifter?

    cuz that ***** tight.
  • kuai137, on 08/08/2008, -0/+0man thats the kind of stuff you see in Infomercials and those crummy catalogs like "Walter Drake"

  • Pushkin, on 08/08/2008, -1/+1I want the toaster. To go with this:

  • Janv1er, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1Aww, that baby holder is so cute !
  • MasterChi, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1Toilet Seat Lifter is a must buy.....because at 2 am or even first thing in the morning i'm just too damn tired to bend down to raise the seat so this would prevent quarrels with loved ones (and by loved ones i means mothers since digg users obviously don't have girlfriends to yell at them for peeing on the seat).
  • welliwonder, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1Some of those looks kinda cool...


  • Whitey07, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1Dugg for egg cup.
  • Daggerfall, on 08/08/2008, -1/+3There´s not a single one of those items I wouldn't mind owning.
  • Jespoir, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Skymall, anyone?
  • ruelster, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1The lock cup is genius
  • imsusannah, on 08/08/2008, -0/+0Can you imagine the phone call from the school if you sent your kid with that banana protector..."I'm sorry Mrs. Jones, we don't allow those kind of toys at our school, I had to, uh, confinscate it."
  • danc4498, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1I'll give props to Transparent toaster, Illuminating car slippers, and the Dayclock.
  • ostracize, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2We have that giant remote. You still lose it from time to time but not as often as you would the regular size one.
  • xero69, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3Daily cognition is full of FAIL for not linking to where we can buy these items. They would have made good money off of me because now I just gotta have one of those toasters, the banana guard, and the butter cutter. Hell just give me one of everything on the list, except for those creepy hands.
    • doshindude, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1google?
      ebay?
      craigslist?
      amazon?
      • xero69, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1I've found a couple of the items via google but no luck on that snazzy toaster :-(
  • Blackham, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2I remember in an easter egg once, I got a kitkat cup with a holder in the bottom to hold your kitkat bar with your tea.

    This obviously wasn't thought through because the kitkat melted straight away and im left with the wafer bit...
