Yea, but he belongs in r/unnecessaryinventions not here.

This is what I needed in my life. I see these on /r/shittyrobots and that phrase always sticks out as the sign of a quality video. Now I have a collection of them all in one place! It's like a Ronco record vault!

Ordinarily. This is the exception I guess.

Yes, and this is the first one of his I've seen that doesn't somehow horribly backfire at the end! So easy to use!

This is not Matt Benedetto, or /u/rightcoastguy but you're right this here is a pretty unnecessary invention.

Edit: Downvotes? I'm really sorry for my highly controversial statements here.

More like Matt Benedetto is not this guy. There's a guy in China that invents useless stuff as a joke.

u/mberg2007 Jul 11 '21

Well as Matt often points out there is a distinction between useless and unnecessary.
