These Designers Were All Really Creating for the People Who Use Their Products

In a world where we can get just about anything we want with only a click of a mouse or a swipe on a screen, it can feel a little exhausting to constantly be marketed to.

That potential for exhaustion makes it extra nice when you see a product that is so clearly designed for the person who will buy it.

From doormats that were clearly designed to help you out to a mug that doubles as a hand warmer, here are 10 times that designers proved they had their users in mind when they came up with a product.

1. This wonderful doormat

It’s cute and it also reminds you of everything you need to take out with you.

2. A helpful mannequin

It shows you what the shirt will really look like.

3. This mug that warms you up.

This is legitimately a brilliant invention. It’s so cozy!

4. This tree-friendly fence

This is such a great idea for anyone who is willing to work with and around nature.

5. An amazing USB connector

Gone are the days of flipping it one way and then the other, because both ways work!

6. This bathroom must-have

A windshield wiper… for your mirror!

7. This helpful wok

The circles show you exactly how much oil you’ve added.

8. Toast grabbers!

Are you tired of burning your hands? This toaster solves that problem for you.

9. Bike-friendly stairs

Truly a wonderful invention for every cyclist!

10. A kid-friendly train

In Copenhagen, the train carts without drivers have “buttons” that kids can play with while they ride.

Aren’t these products pretty cool? Those toast grabbers are seriously impressive. Let us know which is your favorite in the comments!

The (Possibly) True Story of the Fastest Moving Manmade Object Ever That’s in Space…Maybe

Science nerds are some of the most interesting people, mostly because they usually have an innate curiosity about how the world works, and they love exploring new questions and ideas.

Recently, one person wondered what the record for the fastest-moving manmade object is… and then decided to research the topic until they found the answer.

Because why not? It can be really fun to dig around online and in books until you fully understand a topic or event.

It turns out the fastest object is a manhole cover that was launched via nuclear detonation, and that manhole cover can travel very, very quickly.

You might not even believe just how fast it can go!

Funnily enough, the manhole cover was traveling at such a high speed that it didn’t get caught in our orbit, which means it’s still out there.

It’s pretty wild to imagine that a manhole cover is just rocketing around in space, probably getting faster and faster in the process.

Photo Credit: Cheezburger

If you haven’t figured it out yet, this thing was moving really, really fast.

Photo Credit: Cheezburger

Like… super fast. It’s impossible to overstate this fact.

Photo Credit: Cheezburger

In fact, it’s going to so fast that one person theorized it could even anger some aliens if they encounter it.

Photo Credit: Cheezburger

It is pretty amazing to think that such an everyday item could be launched into space and travel that quickly!

Don’t forget to share this one with your friends, especially your friend who love space facts.

Which part is totally unbelievable for you? Let us know in the comments!

A Psycho Boss Turned Against a Productive Employee and It Didn’t Turn Out Well

You just can’t win with some employers.

We’ve all had bosses who we thought were happy with us, but out of nowhere, showed us they weren’t and that we were expendable after all.

This Redditor tells the tale of an employer who did just this. She accepted a high-ranking position with a company, and her main priorities were cleaning up the last person’s mess. She excelled at what she did.

Photo Credit: Reddit

She worked hard, and her boss seemed like a friendly, supportive person with excellent management skills.

Photo Credit: Reddit

However, he did have a temper, which she was aware of, but, as he only seemed to express it to others, their relationship remained fine. By the time her year-end review came around, she felt she deserved more money as she brought money into the company.

Photo Credit: Reddit

One day, she made a small mistake. It was a simple error, but his reaction to it was so overblown that she quit on the spot. He decided to fire her at the same moment.

Photo Credit: Reddit

The employee lives in a country that is bound by different labor laws than the U.S. In the end, her boss had to follow them. Meanwhile, the employee has had job offers left and right—if the company doesn’t act on hiring a new person as she is the only one in her department, it just won’t exist.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Some readers wished her well at her new job.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Others also shared their stories of terrible bosses.

The lesson? It pays to keep your temper in check!

This Hilarious Stuff Has Been Happening on Twitter Lately

Whoa!

What the hell is going on on Twitter?

Hyper-realistic cake memes? Entanglement? Bomboclaats every which way you look?

Honestly, I’d love to explain it all to you but I can hardly explain it to myself and I don’t want this turning into a 40,000 word essay.

It’s easier to just show you, anyway. So. Here are 15 samples of what Twitter has been up to lately.

15. The final frontier

Turns out neither the flat-earthers nor the globeheads had it totally right.

14. Stonks

It only makes cents.

13. Secret sauce

And in 2020, it’s never worth going back for.

12. Elegant reentry

Just rebooted my brain, where were we?

11. Taking the cake

You made me watch this with my innocent eyes!

10. Meat your maker

When you’re dealing with Ikea, you never know when it’s all going to come together.

9. Mission failed successfully

Turns out I knew how to push the right buttons.

8. Excellent point

I’ll allow it?

7. The Drake equation

If you can’t play nice, nobody gets any toys.

6. Circle of life

Inescapable dread and depression are a big mood.

5. Cut it out

Has this gone far enough yet? Are we done?

4. Two for one special

There’s an advantage to keeping things short and sweet.

3. Unrequited melodies

When you’re so young that you can’t comprehend other people.

2. Thiccer than water

The romance is all boiled away.

1. Turn around

If this isn’t what life’s all about, I truly don’t know what is.

So, there ya have it. I’m no closer to understand it than you are, but I sure am enjoying the ride. Stay weird, Twitter.

Memes for People Who Are Firmly Aboard the Struggle Bus

We’re all on the struggle bus right now.

All of us. The bus has been upgraded to like a double-decker Greyhound situation and even then it’s insanely overcapacity, which just adds to the problem because WE’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ALL CLOSE TO EACH OTHER LIKE THAT.

I think my metaphor might have gotten away from me there. Just like my mental health has. At least I’ve got these struggle memes that I can look to for reassurance that I’m not the only one feeling this.

13. Goin’ down

Why have abs when you can take naps?

12. Glitter bomb

How come everything isn’t exactly what I want all the time?

11. A wrench in my plans

My smile is a lie and we both know it.

10. Low-effort

What’s the point in having robot butlers if we don’t let them live our lives for us?

9. Like and subscribe

You wanna know how I got these emotional scars?

8. So close

This feels like a very expensive and mean joke.

7. Yo, teach

How do you do, fellow kids?

6. Lightning round

When you’re too busy to get busy.

5. Play stupid games…

…win stupid prizes.

4. Small defiance

You can only push me around so far, Google.

3. Survival instinct

Sounds like you’re dating a psychopath but OK.

2. To the limit

What if I’m cute while I do it?

1. Missed opportunity

He’s literally sleeping on the chance of a lifetime.

Browsing struggle memes probably isn’t as effective as therapy, but it is considerably cheaper, so there’s that.

On a scale from 1 – 10, how aboard the struggle bus are you right now?

Talk it out in the comments.

Fun Tumblr Posts That Sure Are Funny

I’m gonna take a controversial stand. I think Tumblr is a fun place full of fun people saying fun stuff.

THERE, I SAID IT.

Please, there is no need to commend me for my bravery, nor hoist me upon your shoulders as some truth-speaking god. I am just a man. A man courageous enough to speak his convictions, and stare unblinking into the resistance that follows.

And now that all of that is out in the open, I’d like to share with you a few of the reasons I hold this bold stance.

10. Wizarding world

The greatest curse is our own dumbness.

Reality is far scarier than any Goosebumps tale.

https://del3141.tumblr.com/post/188692130618/shopkeeper-increasingly-exasperated-im-trying

No one wanted to know who I was until I put on the mask.

5. Economic ritual

Some of you may die, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

I’m with you, grosstling, those people are sociopaths.

2. Recession-proof

These songs were too big to fail.

This is why I’d be carrying a white flag everywhere I went.

https://essence-of-armbarring.tumblr.com/post/166229419216/pileofknives-westfailia-it-was-one-hundred
