I can answer to a degree the "Why are hotels like this?" question. While I can't explain why they chose that particular pattern, there is a good reason for choosing loud, contrasty patterns: they don't show the soiling as bad as a solid color. The one on the stairs doesn't look like it would be particularly good at disguising damage from vomit or blood, but hotels _are_ generally thinking about that.

12:11 Left our son at a children's birthday party once. The house was very large and luxurious and practically every parent was commenting on how impressive it was. All I could see, was the death-trap man hole immediately to the side of the entrance. Imagine the milling around of parents and children, removing outer garments and shoes, right next to it. And this one went straight down to the basement level. The father of the hosting family was a contractor/builder with a successful business. It never stops amazing me how success in life is regularly combined with frighteningly low IQ. (This happened in Sweden, the land of Safety standards.)

Those traffic lights are also LED's which means the snow won't melt. Our city decided to use LED lights instead of regular lights (which get warm enough to melt the snow) and now in winter several traffic lights are usually blocked
All they really needed to do was have an arched cover 1/2 to 2/3 of the way around the lights instead of a fully circular tube. The snow couldn't stick in the first place. Very poor planning!
@@teresacarey3269 While that design would be better in very cold, snowy climates incandescent ones are still needed. Haven't you ever seen wet snow stick to signs completely blocking them?
@@teresacarey3269 Yes, tubular kicks it up to triple stupid. If one is sitting in their car looking upward the light is partially obscured. The tube makes it so they can only be seen properly full head on.
Ford truck design is really good. You are not supposed to be getting in or out of vehicles while fueling because static electricity can ignite the fumes. You are supposed to be watching the hose so there isn’t a spill. Finally you should be dressed for the weather so that in the case of a problem on the road you don’t get hypothermia.
I had one of those keyboards with a power button on it but where to put the extra button? Take the elongated back space at the top right, turn it into a regular sized key and put the power key right next to it. That one got a screwdriver to remove it until I could afford a replacement.
Wrap a rubber band around the stem of the key, and you should be able to put it back in without it being able to move. Carefully manage how much rubber band, and you can make it really resistant but not impossible to press. That is what I've done with Caps Lock on practically every keyboard I own.
3:24 You can't shut the door while using the pump? Or you can't use the pump while the door is shut? Because it looks like you could still access the fuel tank with the door shut. In which case, why would you need the door open at any stage of the process?
While I shake my head at disbelief when seeing this I have come to realize George Carlin was almost right. "Think how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than even that." Man, what an optimist. I'd have placed the number at roughly 99%. 😂😂😂
@@Jasper_4444 It's perfectly possible to have 99% below average. It just needs the 1% to be much greater. For example, the average of 99 "ones" and one "ten thousand" is 101. Therefore 99% are below average. How do you interpret "average"?
@@stephenweston1807 Arithmetically, you're perfectly right. I was aware of all this. I just didn't think the spread of stupidity would be such that 99% is below average.
@@stephenweston1807 You're not wrong, but the bell curve is typical in a large sample. Besides, that "1%" genius would probably just pop out of the woodwork one day and kill us all! : )

All those products that look like candy - what the heck? Let's poison the kids? Damn. 😡
They're not only badly designed but someone actually approved making these absurdities 😬

Those steel benches should come with an attached spatula so someone can flip you when you done on one side.🍳🫕
lol
That's not a radiator, that's a stove if it gets that hot.
I feel that bedframe in my pinky-toe!!! 😵
(Seriously, though, so many of these are crazy dangerous!)
I felt that in my shins.
Another Temu product success, I kept thinking.

You'll need to get the tire Guage out. Making the display unnecessary.
The "Designer staircases" need to be investigated further. Whoever designed them should be required to replace them cost-free with safe options.
Many of these ‘wheelchair accessible’ places seem to be specifically for parkour wheelchair users.
Who are you to deny someone their hobbies?

They installed the green slide, upside down.

Some car seats too.

You beat me to commenting the same thing! Our town did the same thing for energy "savings", then had to spend thousands to replace all the LED bulbs.

@@marciaoh7056 Fair enough, but the tubular sun shields are just doubly stupid.

Yes, tubular kicks it up to triple stupid. If one is sitting in their car looking upward the light is partially obscured.
The tube makes it so they can only be seen properly full head on.
2:13 Obviously you have never seen a Costa Rican suicide shower water heater. This is nothing.
In Toronto, Canada, they build metal children slide. In summer it gets so hot, you can't use it. All the rest of the time, it's freezing cold.
You must be young. Metal playground slides have around for most of my life.
@@AlbertaGeek We poured water down the slide.

Did it sizzle and boil away?

7:24 Actually, it looks like the covers were installed upside-down, with the holes in the top.
These were truly bizarre

Good question.
13:20 Why? Why put a button there in the first place?
I don't think they are, but - Man! Too many look too (dangerously) nonsensical that I wish they were merely AI generated images

I have to defend one of them. 12:45 is clearly showing back- up lights while the car is parking. Everything else? WTF!
I agree with the back-up lights. The one under the window is meant to be seen even in traffic. It's fine.
Pleased to see I'm not the only one who has brain-fade moments ~

I don't mind the package designs, It's very common. As a Parent you have to hide cleaning stuff from kids
And *when* they find it?
