Humans have come a long way since our Neanderthal forefathers, but sometimes, something happens that makes you wonder just how much we’ve evolved. Are we really so crazy about our health that we come up with useless products like diet water? Unbeatable eggs? A case for a banana that is already equipped with a perfect guard called a peel?
Though some would say those are useless things, we say it’s marvelous! These utterly weird, unnecessary things perfectly depict our creativity in every imaginable sphere. Yes, sometimes this useless stuff we invent is a bit over-the-top, but hey, stairs that seemingly lead nowhere might be a portal to some other dimension.
You just have to take a proper look at what seems like the most useless thing in the world. Just like a road sign containing a message that it isn't a road sign might seem like one of the most useless objects you’ve ever seen. But it actually carries a more profound message and isn't some measly design fail at all.
Without further ado, check out this list of utterly crazy and mostly useless things in the world we’ve compiled. Don’t forget to turn on your imagination when trying to understand the purpose of these useless things! However, we are pretty sure that if this list of funny yet pointless things reached Darwin’s hands, he might have been a little disappointed in the evolutionary processes.

There are also French-speaking communities in Manitoba and Ontario, where francophones make up about 4 percent of the population, as well as significantly smaller communities in Alberta, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan – around 1–2%. Many, but not all of these communities are supported by French-language institutions.

I've seen much more useless things... Fire axe behind glass that says break in case of fire... Stairway into the side of a building - no door.... Elevator in a building with 5 floors with 10 floor buttons - if you push anything above 5, it lights up, and a second or two later goes out... Front door that locks on the outside... much stupider than these.
