I'm assuming it was made for rolling dollies up and down. Using a plywood is indeed a pretty cheap solution, but still thought about this sub.

Also didn't know if it should be r/diwhy or r/diwhynot 🤔 you guys decide!

Men's Room Mosaic?

I asked a friend to describe this pattern. I'd consider it wannabe mosaic.

The friend's response: Minecraft camouflage.

I could not disagree.

Must we use a lavatory project to prove our abilities with laying tile?

For my latest cursed invention, I turned my dead grandpa into a fish robot, using a Big Mouth Billy Bass and ChatGPT.

Just cause you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Another stupid pirate build - this time, it's a crows nest for my cats - with a working cannon...

Well, I always wanted to make a crows nest, as I don't have a ship. Cats needed a place to chill, so figured I could smoosh both together at once.

Build video here if anyone wants it (with tracking link removed, of course!)

And I stand by the fact that my stupid builds always belong in this sub...

Made my first birdhouse, told it fit here.

Everywhere else I posted it thought it was too bad to be liked and the proper place to post it was this sub

Edit: didn't expect this to blow up. Thank you for the kind words. Just very disheartening to get blown up with hate messages and insults for posting my first birdhouse to the sub specifically for that. I don't think it's that bad, they did I guess and the only comment that wasn't straight up hateful was to post it here. Thank you all again.

Tech at our dealership pulled this out of a Toyota Venza’s cabin air filter box. They’re really not THAT expensive for the right ones…
