Does a home made creation need to be useful? Or even functional? We say no, since showing that you can do something cool on the internet should be the entire merit of why you do something. At least, it is enough for the blue collar nerds we’ve found sharing their creativity on the world wide web.
Of course, we don’t recommend trying these builds at home, at least not unless you know what you’re doing. But these creators, for the most part, aren’t professionals, so who are we to tell you not to try something.

Classroom Tree
Having an actual plant for small children can be a problem, but there’s nothing a few wires and green paper can’t solve.

Shopping Go-Kart
If all your vehicle is missing is the frame, then fear not. Frames can be found anywhere, even in a supermarket near you. Just ask for the cart, don’t steal it.

Temporary Solution
Look, sometimes you don’t have the time to go buy door handles, and you need something solved quickly. Some bags and a counterweight is sure to do the trick.

Sneeze-Proof Hat
Seasonal allergies can be quite a deal to handle, almost not letting you leave the house at all. With the toilet paper hat, your worries are gone, at least the non fashion-related ones.
r/DiWHYNOT
Broken Headphones
One of the main signs that you need to change your headphones is the cushions coming apart. But if the sound is still coming out great, then it’s nothing a bit of duct tape can’t fix.

Saluting Plant
This plant owner wanted a way to have their plants express themselves, and after all, isn’t that what millenia of human evolution has prepared us for? This plant in particular salutes when properly watered.
r/DiWHYNOT
Tiny Book
All jokes aside, there is an actual market for tiny books. So someone being able to craft them outside of the big corporations, it certainly looks like a real business opportunity.
r/DiWHYNOT
Egg Dice
We wouldn’t recommend actually using a dice made from an egg as, well, a dice. It likely won’t survive the first roll.
r/DiWHYNOT
Horse Mouse
The cowboy way of exploring the web isn’t with mice, but with a properly equipped horse. This crafter knew just that, and made a laser mouse out of a toy horse.
r/DiWHYNOT
Technoblade
Made from circuit boards, these knives certainly look sharp. Other than the novelty of them, though, cutting something with them will likely leave you with a bunch of circuit thingies on your food. Because they are for food, right?
r/DiWHYNOT
Remote Controlled Remote Control
A good way to subvert expectations is to have something work the opposite as what people might expect. So having a remote controlled car and using that to control the remote control, is certainly a meta experience.

Mailbox Fix
Not every build in here is going to be fancy. If you’re constantly getting your mail box knocked over, you’re not going to use the most expensive hardware to fix it. Duct tape saves the day once again.
r/DiWHYNOT
Crustacean Mech
This might be unsavory for some, even though these creatures have quite the flavor. Making a kaiju/combined mecha from parts of crabs and lobsters is a feat worthy of recognition.

PS5 Cheap Workaround
Controllers break all the time, even the ones from the most expensive consoles on the market. This blue collar expert used spare parts of a Wiimote and used them to fix his PS5 controller, saving on money and earning style points.

Camera in a Nutshell
This isn’t a short form explanation of how cameras work, this is a literal camera inside a nutshell. For all of you aspiring spies, you now have a new tiny object to be suspicious of.
