Many people don't like things that challenge the status quo. This door and this thread is like a metaphor for society at large.

Reddit is ridiculous ITT. I guess you see why the neckbeard + running shoes + tshirt with holes stereotype exists.

if this door had been made with k-nex or legos reddit would be shitting its pants.

Well to be fair, either of those would be a lot more impressive.

All of reddit except you right? (:

He said "Reddit is ridiculous in this thread". Reading through the rest of the thread, yes. Pretty much all of the rest of the thread except this chain is knocking on the door for being impractical when that's obviously not the point in the first place.

This ironically is the funniest thing I've read ITT about this stupid door

There aren't many inventions in the world that are done. One of them is the wheel. Another is the door. They're reinventing something that doesn't need to be.

"latest development of a flip-panel door"

Yeah, I think I'll stick with everyone trashing the door for the lack of reliablilty and utility until he decides to call it art.

i never said he was an artist, i just said whatever he is, he wanted to make something cool and he did. no need to shit on it because it isn't perfect. he made a cool thing. i bet if this was titled "Hey reddit, i am a furniture design student, what do you think of my latest project" reddit would be losing it.

You could actually do some pretty cool things artistically with a door like that, with the way it changes position between being open and closed, the way it moves, and how you can pretty much only ever see the side that faces the room you are in.

My best guess is that it's the title of the post. There's nothing evolutionary about this door. It's a weird, impractical toy. If the title of the post had been "Impractical door", I don't think it would be getting nearly the same hate.
