The Most Hilarious Feats of Engineering That Have Ever Been Accomplished

The world is starting to see more and more of these amateur engineers everyday who solve their own problems with creative ideas. In some cases, these feats are so perfect that you’d swear they were done by a professional.

But in other cases, they’re so bad that they might give you second hand embarrassment.

But whatever the case may be, you have to admit that these folks found their own way to come up with a solution and we can’t fault them for that… even if some of them burned their entire home down in the process.

Lego Man Kept Two Red Audio RCA Connectors in Place

Red and white RCA connectors are often used to connect the audio of a game console or an old VCR to a flatscreen TV while the yellow RCA connector is used to connect the video feed. But in this photo, there is a Lego man keeping the two red RCA connectors in his hands.

It’s not exactly the best option but it will definitely work until this home owner can buy himself a new RCA connector.

The Makeshift Flat-Screen TV

Before flat-screen televisions became popular in the 2000s, some folks resorted to spending a lot of money on gigantic TV sets. Remember those days? “The bigger, the better” was all the rage when it came to TVs. They were so big that there was no need for a table or a stand.

They were simply placed on the floor and were chest high in length. But they took up a lot of space in the living room, so this person made a hole in the wall and shoved their TV through it until only the screen was visible.

The DIY Plastic Bag Pool

Above ground pools are expensive, though not as expensive as creating an underground pool. But this person didn’t want to waste time on either one of these options.

So instead, they created an above-ground pool of their own by using PVC pipes for the framework and an enormous plastic bag to hold the water in. And to ensure that the pool didn’t cave in when it got filled with water, they used wooden boards to support the pool’s pipe framework.

I mean… we’re scared for anyone willing to take a dip in this thing!

The Makeshift Screwdriver

There’s nothing worse than looking for a tool like a screwdriver or hammer but not finding it in the toolbox.

But instead of heading home, knocking on someone’s door to borrow a screwdriver, or buying a new one at a hardware store, this person made one by inserting a piece of flat metal into a wooden block.

Fortunately, he only needed the simple blade type for slotted screws and not a Phillips screwdriver for cross-recess screws.
