50 Times People Thought Of Stupid Solutions That Actually Work And It Ended Up Being Posted On ‘Redneck Engineering’ (New Pics)
InterviewHey, if it works—don’t knock it! I’m personally a huge believer that if something functions well, if it gets the job done, then it’s not stupid no matter how ridiculous the thing might look. Sure, style and form are important to me and you, dear Pandas, but at the end of the day, the results speak for themselves! So, step aside style, we’ve got some weird DIY masterpieces to praise.
Welcome to another feature of ‘Redneck Engineering!’ A Reddit community of over 423k people, r/redneckengineering has been an important part of ‘the front page of the internet’ since being founded in 2013. It’s an online group dedicated exclusively to showing off the most bizarre and hilarious-looking DIY solutions to many of life’s problems.
Got no water service? No problem! As long as you’ve gone some snow and a crawfish pot, you can MacGyver up an impromptu bathtub. You’re about to enter the world of DIY miracles, dear Pandas, so make sure you’ve got your hardhat and your workboots on. Let’s scroll on down!
Mind the gap, upvote the photos that you enjoyed, and read on for what the founder of r/redneckengineering, redditor Flounder19, told Bored Panda in a follow-up interview. Later, if you’re in the mood for some more of the finest chaotic DIY engineering around, check out our earlier article here.
Don’t try this at home. Your safety is paramount! (But if you do... be very, very careful! And upload it to the ‘Redneck Engineering’ subreddit.)

Someone has definitely lost either a favourite tool or a very important part to lead to that. It is utter genius though.

Load More Replies...In itself, redneck engineering refers to the use of various unorthodox (read: stuff that makes you say, “Holy cow!”) and out-of-the-box methods to build, repair, or modify things. This can include using strange work techniques or tools and materials that seem out of the ordinary. In short, it’s a (dangerous) way to jury rig your way out of the Desert of Problems and saunter your way into the Oasis of Solutions.
The founder of r/redneckengineering, redditor Flounder19, told Bored Panda that you don't have to have any special materials to get started with redneck engineering and DIY projects. All you need is creativity and some basics: "The things you can do with duct tape and zip ties alone is amazing. Plus it doesn't need to look good as long as it works right," the head moderator pointed that looks mean nothing if whatever you're building functions well.

i can bet my soul with satan that its in Asian country, where we teens dont have privacy from parents.
We had to tie Christmas bells to our front door because our 2 year old would sneak out the front door. Lol. He'd wait until I was busy changing one of the twins or something and sneak right out. The bells worked great plus that's how we trained our pups when they needed to go out.
Couldn't get my shih tzu to learn that, but same method that I used to notify me if my oldest was sneaking out of his bed after we put him down for the night. He had few toys in his room so I didn't really care if he got out of bed, but he couldn't come out of the room. Scamp could climb over the baby gate at less than a year (he walked at 9 months)
Load More Replies...We lived in an enormous old farm house and my mom would hear things late at night. I always knew when she'd hear freaky things, because I'd wake up, go downstairs, and in front of every door she'd lay out a bowling ball set of glass pop bottles. She wasn't wrong though, I remember hearing children laughing above me; I was on the top floor of the house.
I have a string of antique brass Christmas bells on my front door. Never fails to let me know when the front door opens.
Facetiming The Water So It Doesn't Boil Over While I'm Watching TV In The Other Room
I was curious to find out more about the origins of the subreddit. Flounder19 was kind enough to share with Bored Panda how everything got started. The post that kicked everything off is this one right here, shared on r/funny, featuring a couple of rednecks having the time of their lives in a boat with a picnic table inside it. Flounder19 saw the photo and declared that they'll start r/redneckengineering for content specifically like this. It was all a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Finally, the founder of the sub had one simple piece of advice for anyone thinking of getting started with this dangerous brand of DIY: "Don't die, please."

Earlier, my colleague had a chat with the founder of r/redneckengineering about the subreddit, the type of content it focuses on, as well how the community has changed over the years. According to the founder, redneck engineering is a broad-enough term, however, it’s also “the kind of thing you know when you see.” So trust your gut on this one! If you think that it looks like redneck engineering, then it probably is.
“It [redneck engineering] can range from something as common as using a hand mirror to replace a side-view mirror to something complex like building a backyard water slide with a loop-de-loop,” the founder told Bored Panda earlier. What’s more, the members of the subreddit tend to look kindly upon those DIY projects that would “make an OSHA inspector cringe.”
Think Smart
If you manage to wreck two identical cars in what must have been a relatively short space of time in toder to do this you should maybe consider whether driving is really for you.
A cut and shut. Basically a deathtrap: The integrity of the car's body has been majorly compromised.
I once took a car I wanted to buy to a mechanic, and that's what the mechanic said. "Don't buy it", he said. "It's been Frankensteined together and it'd be a death trap in an accident.".
Load More Replies...If you use it only on car shows... it could. But you are not allowed to drive on public roads with it. You will not pass technical control, so no papers, no Licence plate and no insurance possible. Good luck with that
Why? Because somehow you can't be environmentally conscious and know how to weld? I beg to differ

Load More Replies...This Took A Good Year Or Two To Make
In the earliest days of r/redneckengineering, way back in 2013, the subreddit’s founder was the one who made the majority of the posts. However, as the member count grew, everyone became more active, so the founder no longer had to post most of the content.
According to the founder, most posts on the page are “low-budget workarounds to everyday problems with a few high-effort engineering projects and other submissions sprinkled in.”

Seen At A Hospital In Argentina, Latin American Countries Are A Goldmine For These
Sad that a hospital has to resort to this! Hospitals of all places should be funded by the government. Scary to imagine what other redneck solutions they use on their patients. 😬
I spent five hours this morning in a clean, well-run US hospital. The contrast is striking. It's sickening to me that a hospital has a door that looks like that, much less the handle. I feel for those people.

Very Nice Shoe Dryer Prototype For You Guys
This will create back pressure on the hairdryer and prevent the proper airflow volume. That will result in overheating. Good quality hair dryers will shut down. OK quality hair dryers will burn out. Poor quality hair dryers will catch on fire. BAD IDEA. But those are some nice cycling shoes.
My husband has those cycling shoes & he loves them! And you are absolutely right about the back pressure. Plus drying out expensive shoes/boots of any kind this way will actually damage the shoes over time.

It's an actual hot tub that you have to purchase chemicals to treat the water. They have a nozzle to hook a hose to fill and drain. We had ours on our patio so of course we would not drain it directly there.

For when you go four wheeling in the office. (or five wheeling in this case)
I am autistic. At my old office, I had a nice chair, one with which I could both spin and rock. I spun and rocked some screws out without realizing it, leaned back in my chair one day, and fell back onto the floor. When my coworkers stopped laughing, one of them called our maintenance man, and he came in and reinforced my chair with heavy duty hardware. It was a great place to work, until several personnel changes made it less great.
too bad it doesnt actually do anything besides adding color. if it breaks, it will be from the joint where they bolted at the bottom, weakening the plastic limb. they only made it more fragile.
