50 Times People Thought Of Stupid Solutions That Actually Work

The only limit to accomplishing anything in life is your imagination. However, creativity and inventions don’t have to be overly complicated or all that original. You can make everyone’s lives far easier with minor changes in how something is designed. Intrigued? Well then, welcome to the weird and wonderful world of ‘Redneck Engineering.’

A popular online community, r/redneckengineering is dedicated to slightly peculiar, sometimes even hilarious, but genuinely genius feats of jury-rigging. From self-feeding fires to mounts for your remote, we’ve collected some of the most incredible feats of impromptu engineering. Scroll down to check out the pics proving there’s no problem humankind can’t solve with whatever’s at hand!

Genius doesn’t have to be complicated. It often isn’t! Often, the very best product designs are the ones that solve the problems that consumers have, whether they’re consciously aware of them or just sure that something is wrong.

The reality is that not every product designer is in tune with what the end user needs or wants. Sometimes, their vision is at odds with practicality.

The solutions themselves don’t have to be marvelous feats of engineering that would wow and dazzle the entire world. All it can take is a slight change to the design: altering the shape, angles, and lines of the item in question to make it more user-friendly.

At the core of ‘Redneck Engineering’ lies simplicity. Redneck engineers (who don’t have to be rednecks or engineers at all) are big fans of Occam’s razor. They take the most straightforward and obvious approach when solving a problem.

Does someone keep stealing the remote at your local laundromat? Instead of stressing about how you’ll have to work years and years to change how locals approach property rights, you could weld a little soap holder over it.

Or, if you don’t have a spirit level while working on a construction project, you could use a small bottle filled with water.

Redneck engineering is about simplicity. It’s about being straightforward, thinking on your feet, and using whatever tools and materials you have to jury-rig your way out of a problem.

It’s humankind summed up incredibly well because it showcases how flexible we can all be when the circumstances demand it. Sure, it might not look pretty! But don’t knock it if it works.

Founded in the mid-summer of 2013, the online community has become one of the most well-known groups on Reddit. At the time of writing, the r/redneckengineering subreddit had already grown to 659k members, and there are no signs of their popularity waning any time soon.

There’s plenty of humor and quick engineering solutions to be found here.

The moderator team has the right to interpret whether or not a member’s post “fits the spirit of the sub.” They note that an engineering solution doesn’t have to be a redneck to quality, as a prime example of redneck engineering.

Meanwhile, community members should do their best to avoid reposting popular photos. Before you go ahead and share that remarkable feat of jury-rigging that you found on your social media feed, check the sub’s sidebar to see if the photo hasn’t already been posted and reposted a billion times.

FBe fair to yourself and others, and give credit where it’s due. Focus on originality, not racking up karma, as much as possible. You should also avoid claiming that you made something if you didn’t.

We’re pretty big fans of r/redneckengineering here at A&D, and if you need more engi-inspiration, you can check out our earlier features.

The founder of the subreddit, u/flounder19, previously told us how this post inspired the community right here. A decade ago, Redditor declared they’d start the sub specifically for this funny and funky engineering content. And from those humble beginnings grew a massively popular subreddit that fascinates the internet.

“The things you can do with duct tape and zip ties alone are amazing. Plus, it doesn’t need to look good as long as it works right,” the founder and head moderator, u/flounder19, told us during an earlier interview. They added that no matter the type of DIY, your safety is paramount: “Don’t die, please.”

Which of these redneck feats of engineering impressed you the most, A&D lovers? Were there any that seriously made you think, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” Have you ever jury-rigged something with whatever you had at hand? We’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions, so scroll down to the comment section and have your say!
