I know it says "Singing Bear Shop". But I am enjoying the possible interpretation "Singing Bears Hop".
Oh i thought it's the second and now I'm disappointed!
Load More Replies...Now that makes everything perfectly clear. I was compelled to go look it up, the shop is now closed... very sad....
Well there are no shops that sells singing bears.. So it should be singing bears hop, right?? Ha ha
Load More Replies...Simple And Well Executed
They actually also taste good (freshly harvested). You can get them for example in Germany at Netto.
Load More Replies...Even if that's the case here, I think it's one time I wouldn't mind.
Load More Replies...We regular users who get to experience a product only after it's finished often don't even realize how much effort people put into producing it.
Preparing an older design piece, we contacted Nicole Phillips, a creative working in the industry since 2005 with a background in fine arts and advertising. Phillips specializes in logo design, branding, and package design for food & beverage, beauty, health, and interior design clients, and she said that design is a process that requires research, experimentation, and even a bit of psychology.
"When I feel frustrated with the process, I remind myself to take a step back, have fun, and play," Phillips told Bored Panda back then. "It's those moments of play and experimentation that usually create the best results, but it's those hours of research that help build the foundation for the final result."
"My clients are not paying me for my time, they are paying me for my many years of experience, so if I am able to complete the design process in 5 hours rather than 5 weeks, this is a sign of my years of experience and knowledge, this is valuable," she added.
This Plug That Doesn’t Bother Other Plugs
Not usually. Until someone came along with stupid oversized chargers/transformers.
Load More Replies...Yes! Genius. I wish I'd invented first, God knows I've wished for this forever!
Load More Replies...In the US, there is no standard outlet orientation, they can be installed facing whichever way you wish. I almost exclusively see them installed vertically in residential installations (with the ground pin either up or down) because it is somewhat cheaper to do that way.
Load More Replies...Soy Sauce Dishes That “Reveal” A Painting Once You Fill Them Up
I would love to be the sort of person who noticed that soy sauce gets more opaque as it gets deeper and thinks 'what could I do with that information'. Rather then what I am which is 'I wonder why the soy sauce is.....oh look, a butterfly'.
This is also a great way to paint anything with just one shade of watercolor.
This Notebook Has Hexagonal Paper For Taking Notes In Organic Chemistry Class
Man, and I was in college drawing benzene rings by hand like a sucker.
When people are trying to figure out if a particular design is any good, they often turn to Dieter Rams and his '10 commandments.' According to Rams, good design is innovative, makes a product useful, is aesthetic, makes a product understandable, is unobtrusive, is honest, is long-lasting, is thorough down to the last detail, is environmentally friendly, and involves as little design as possible.
Nicole Phillips agrees with the German design legend.
"Good design includes a good balance of function, form, and fun," Phillips said. "The user shouldn't have to try too hard to get what they need from the design. Good design isn't just aesthetics, it should communicate well and push boundaries a bit. Good design solves problems."
Cracked Log Lamp
I love that, but according to their website they are for indoor use only and $365 AUS.
Looked them up. Cost 650 Australian - expensive, but fine craftsmanship
Partially Submerged Hippo Table
If the world had this kind of mindset to make this, we all would be better
Should have put a bird on the Hippo's head and by moving the bird the butt would open with a minibar inside. At least storage. Great piece anyway.

I want to cuddle the lamp, and rub his back and tell him everything will be OK.
Motivational Gym Shirt
What if you are the type that sweats too much and too early... you know, premature excretion
You go guy, you got this!! Little steps to big results. You are worth it
Correct. I sweat when asked a question by a supervisor. Even when it's not a serious situation and I 100% have the right answer.
Load More Replies...During summer heatwave you can probably go home before you get to the gym.
Since I sweat when I eat I need a shirt that will say, "sugar coated lies".
An Air Less Tire
Why just why did you have you curse us with our pun
Load More Replies...All fun and games until the giant murder hornets show up looking for a carnival ride.
Useful. And if my wheelbarrow is any indication after I switched out the pneumatic tire, is probably the bumpiest ride possible.
Don’t drive behind them. I bet those exposed holes pick up a lot of dirt and rocks and fling it everywhere. Great idea but why does it have to be open sided?
Interestingly, this is the style of tire they have to use for wheeled excursions on bodies that aren't Earth! Pressurized tires only really work in an atmosphere, which most of the celestial bodies we can reach don't have or lack any significant amount of it. Rovers tend to use metal mesh instead of rubber, though...
I can’t imagine it being very good in snow or slush. Some holes fill and throw your wheel balance out the window.

L'orange Perfume Bottle Set. Parfums De Marcy, 1925
They made things so beautifully back then. It's a shame we moved away from that.
Load More Replies...It seems to me that a lot of accessories were made very elegantly in the 1920s. I have a couple old compacts that are really works of art, meant to be carried in an evening bag. I have seen small evening bags that are just magical, and things like miniature brush and comb sets that are really beautiful. I guess it got to be too expensive to continue making quality items like that.

These Measuring Cups Are Designed To Visually Represent Fractions For Intuitive Use!
Actually a lot of recipes in Australia use cup measurements. It's not just a US thing.
Load More Replies...Does anyone remember when Wendy's marketed the 1/3lb. burger to compete with McDonald's Quarter Pounder (1/4lb), but no one bought it because they thought they were getting ripped off because the number was smaller? They could have really used these.
Would be very useful for people with poor vision who can't see the small numbers on the handles or bottoms of traditional cups!
Or if the measurement printing rubbed off... like on ALL my non-embossed ones.
Load More Replies...I wonder if these could finally convince people that a third cup really is more than a quarter cup. I'm thinking of people who refused to buy a 1/3 lb burger because the 1/4 lb was bigger... or the woman who wrote "I don't like things very sweet, so I only used 1/3 cup of sugar instead of the 1/4 cup the recipe called for..." sigh.
Damn useful for teaching children about fractions too, I'm thinking!
This is for people who think a 1/4 is more than 1/3 because 4 is a larger number than 3! Smh
a cup of flour, a squirrel of brown sugar, a bootheel of salt and a suitcasehandle of oats... perfect
Actually it's a squirrel of nuts and a pinch of salt with a dash of oats, on top of a litre of cocoa a few ounces of milk, all poured over two stones of human.
Load More Replies...They should stack properly if you go from largest to smallest because each successive fraction cup is smaller than the last, and it looks like it has been made with a tapered base, so the bases should fit in each other.

Load More Replies...Maybe I’m an exceptional human with incredible unnatural abilities but I’ve never had a problem using a regular highlighter
Yay, we are two in the superhero club! (Or judging by the likes, 24.)
Load More Replies...I upvoted your comment to cancel out the downvote someone (designer of this product, perhaps?) gave you. There's nothing rude about pointing out that a product is useless for 10% of the population. I thought the same thing when I saw this photo but didn't plan to comment. Doesn't mean that people who do speak up should be negatively rated for saying something!
Load More Replies...Stopped having this problem just by switching to wax highlighters. Which is nice because not only are they slightly transparent, but they also won't dry up on you even if you leave the cap off ;)
Uni Propus Window Highlighters are great too!

It's dried coffee, a little hot water will get rid of it even without any brush. Also, the groove looks wide enough to easily be able to insert the corner of a sponge, some brush bristles or similar into it if there still is some residue.
Load More Replies...And here I go sucking on the side of a mug after I've finished my drink...yet again!
Pop Out Outlet
IF IT’S THE FUTURE WHERE ARE MY FLYING CARS WHERE. ARE. MY. FLYING. CARS!!??
Better yet, they could put UK outlets in one side and EU outlets on one side. (They still have the same electricity current)
Yeah i am not feeling this one, the possibility of someone hitting the box and braking plugs is a big problem
They used to stick out and still do on very old properties!!
Load More Replies...But putting too many plugs into one socket overloads it, short circuits it and can cause a fire. Very problematic, and not smart at all.
This Corner Light Makes It Looks Like Your Wall Is Peeling Away And Revealing Something Behind It
That's very cool and clever, but I'd keep wanting to roll the 'paper' back up haha.

Load More Replies...There's two kinds of people: fix the corner or peel the whole thing off

This Banana Peel Safety Cone
Having actually seen a few of these, they are actually attention getting (which the clapboard ones are really not) and they do actually stack and are visible from more sides.
Is it me or does no one else understand that bananas were used in pre sound films for people slipping over as an analogy for people actually slipping over on horse s**t ? Don't forget, this is an age where there were thousands of horses used for transport / haulage etc, hundreds of thousands of tons of horse crap a year in New York city alone, and this is seriously slippery stuff. in my 6 decades on this planet, I've never seen anyone slip on a banana peel ........

A Built-In Watering Hole For Your Pets
Ahhhh, so that's that one design failure from that recent post. Where someone said that dogs quickly learn how to turn on the water, but never turn it off.
Agree. It would need some kind of pushbutton/timer/photosensor function.
Load More Replies...Personally, I’ve never found putting the bowl of water down causes me any trouble
Ahhh.... rich doggie watering hole. I will do a lot for my creatures, but I don't think thrice daily polishing of their marble drinking fountain would make the cut.
What would Be the use of this, you’d still have to take the bowl to the sink to clean. May as well fill it up there while you’re at it
As someone who's had four-footed pets all my life, I think this is a terrible design. The faucet type is overkill, and it looks like it'd make filling the bowls more awkward, not less. Marble, which is porous, stains easily and is a pain to clean, is an awful choice for a surround. The height can't be adapted, and the step merely means that any smaller pets are going to be standing at an angle. Well, except the cats will just jump up, and then scatter everything out of the nook. Which would serve the designer right.
Because filling the dog dish at the sink is just SO inconvenient?

Not really so much smell. The smell comes from the shoes staying wet. With the dryer the shoes becomes dry quickly and the smelly bacteria die.

OMG You have to worry about what's lurking in your shoes, too?

This Japanese Gum Have Little Pieces Of Paper Inside For You To Spit Your Gum In To When You’re Finished With It
This is a good idea. When I first read it, I thought it was saying that the gum itself has little pieces of paper in it. (Dentyne, of course, is wrapped in wax paper. I used to chew the paper when I couldn't figure out what to do with it, which wasn't 100% pleasant.)
I mean... some gums you get (at least in the UK) come pre wrapped in paper so you can just use the same paper it was wrapped in to dispose of it...
Seems a waste. Just swallow the gum, it's not like it's going to hurt you.
Trader Joe's has something similar. A small box with natural spearmint gum and papers for ABC gum (Already Been Chewed.)

Yours is an excellent point but I do have one of those tube squeezers and have had it since I got married at 20. I'm now 40 and have the same one. I absolutely see your point though.

Ms Paint
Apparently its a pin/brooch, but you can draw on it with dry erase markers.

This Bike's Gear Shifting Visual Aid
Gear shifting or power assistance? If it is for gear shifting, it is a PWOT - a Pointless Waste Of Time. Either tell me the gear number or just don't bother, I can feel how hard it is to pedal!
You don't have a blinking red light that reminds you to shift when your legs are whirling too fast?
Load More Replies...A lot of idiots don't know what gear they should be using. This will help them.
This Wooden Word Clock
I'm still trying to find all the words. It even looks like there are some dummy letters thrown in!
It's especially helpful for people who have trouble reading time!
This Table's Length Can Be Doubled
We had one similar too… in fact, every person I knew as a kid had one of those
Load More Replies...Yes, tables which can be extended are pretty common, but how much you can extend them? Half a meter on each side or so? This one doubles in length, I never saw table which can do that. And looks amazing.
The Victorians had tables that would extend many times their length, just like this. The frame had multiple extenders and you put leaves in to make the table. The problem was storing the leaves. More modern designs store the leaves within the table, so are contstrained by how much you can store.

Maybe you just don't realize you've seen one. They are very common in the US. Every table I've had has been expandable, though not as impressively as this one. I only know 1 person who doesn't have one. Maybe it's a regional thing.

move in any direction? no. most go up or down. you can see in the picture this one also goes in and out, i would assume other directions as well. more of a ball axis instead of purely a rotational axis.
Load More Replies...Terrible handle if you try to keep a violent criminal on the other side of the door I suppose. Not something you would like to have in Sweden
Automatic Card Dealer
It may be nice for those who love to play but can no longer deal due to arthritis or neuro problems. Think elderly couple who enjoy a game of Rummy in the evenings.

This Pressurized Cap Infuses The Water With Tea
No because regular tea bags have to brew in hot water. Cold brew tea bags take approximately 6-12 hours in the refrigerator to steep.
Load More Replies...Most iced teas are already mixed when you buy them and you save a lot of work and probably money
This Japanese Candy
don't know what kind of candy it is but it looks like a sick tounge
Toilet Timer
That guy has a cell phone. If only there were an app that allowed you to use THAT as a timer...
Have No Idea Who Made This But It’s Damn Cool
yea the person who posted this should've looked closer
Load More Replies...My husband and I just got an alarm clock that gradually becomes brighter as your wake up time approaches. By the time your alarm is reached, it's like the sun is pouring into the room. You can also set it to have birds chirping at louder intervals as you go along. Much more relaxing wake up than a screeching alarm or a loud radio.
I see y'all put this out just in time to help with my Christmas list to Santa.
Some clever ideas, but mostly novel gadgets that people get tired of or that get outdated and end up in a landfill. In our desperation for a dopamine ping, we're killing our planet and wasting our resources making all this stuff. I hope that more people start to understand how the human brain works, and how we're pushed and pulled around by instinctive desires that we're cultivating to be totally out of control.
Agreed, although some have a "buy now" button. Not all of them do though, so I agree
