By now, it may feel like everything noteworthy has already been invented.

We witness plenty of clever and visually appealing designs, so we think all good ideas are already taken. We stumble upon the most genius product features and friendly architecture solutions ever created — and know that nothing can surprise us anymore.

Ever since the 'Yup That Exists' Instagram account was founded in 2014, it has grown into an extremely popular project focusing on equally brilliant and perplexing inventions, odd gadgets, unusual product designs, and intriguing phenomena appearing across the web. And still, many people had absolutely no clue they existed in the first place.
The project has branched out to all the major social media channels and gained a strong foothold on various platforms. For instance, it has amassed over 722k followers on Facebook and 426k devoted fans on Instagram. It has even gained astonishing popularity on TikTok, where more than 572k people eagerly wait for new surprises to grace their feeds.
'Yup That Exists' continues to entertain and teach every design enthusiast by consistently uncovering intriguing products. The creators prove that weirdness sells, especially when paired with interesting tidbits of information, and it wins over the hearts of thousands of internet users.
We've witnessed a million times that the internet is filled with seemingly endless amounts of knowledge and facts that consistently educates and inspires us. In this vast digital world, it’s hard to be aware of every new innovation, and we often miss the brilliant things that exist unless we come across them. So this vivid collection of pictures is meant to remind you that innovation is everywhere, you just have to keep your eyes open.
This social media project also shows that the global marketplace is a packed, noisy sphere. Consumers have plenty to choose from. And the creators, well, they see that competition is fierce. In this sense, designers believe they must craft and build products that stand out to succeed in this chaos.
A brief scroll through this list will prove that designers can achieve their goal and create memorable works of art — even if they stand out like a sore and unappealing thumb. See, some creators get too focused on developing an original end product that form and function become more of an afterthought than a necessary part of the development process.
In theory, design thinking means approaching innovation by drawing from the designer’s toolkit to cater to the client's needs. Design should follow you around even if you’re unaware of it. If it's good, you don’t pay much attention to it. If it’s outstanding— the item will probably become your new favorite item.
I am already making a list of all the stuff I'm gonna buy when I'm older
I think I remember some guy that does this with legos and crumbling buildings, does anyone else?
To achieve this, it all starts with an idea. Of course, coming up with innovative and meaningful solutions is far from an easy task. But when designers manage to devise the next big thing, the first element to be sure about is what it will offer to your future user.
"You have to answer the questions, why should my idea exist and how is it defined? Then you can start thinking about the identity and the representation of that product", Brian Farrell, founder and creative director of Far Co, a creative studio specializing in digital branding, digital products, and systems, told BBVA Open Innovation. The expert added that throughout the design process, it’s essential not to lose sight of the "heart of the idea". If you believe in the concept to its very core, and your customer will too, that’s a recipe for success.
Once you have outlined your idea, it’s time to take action. One of the most important considerations to keep in mind is that you’re designing something for the end users, not for yourself. "If you can’t fully identify yourself with their needs and challenges, they’re not going to see any value" researcher Ethan Parry added. To do this, we can’t just sit back, we "have to go out into the street and learn from users" by observing and learning from them passively.
Another crucial mistake would be to focus only on aesthetics. "It won’t fix a useless product, however well designed it is — if it doesn’t solve a problem, it won’t be of any use," Parry explained. Then, remember to re-evaluate the situation and adjust it as it changes, and document every bit of your process. "This is of particular importance if you’re an entrepreneur, to have a foundation for the future."
It’s challenging for designers to devise a great idea that will shock the market and change the world. For example, in 1889, Charles H. Duell was the Commissioner of the US patent office. He is widely quoted as having stated that the patent office would dry up and, consequently, no longer be needed because: "Everything that can be invented has been invented."
Yet, with science, technology and lifestyle drastically changing, this leaves room for creativity and opportunity. And as you can see from this list, innovative designers still manage to invent something to surprise us.
Just think about the myriad of innovations that have happened since the 19th century, from planes to computers to those little powerful devices lying right there in our pockets.
"Skype, Google, Teams and Webex are some examples of popular applications. But suddenly, a new company — Zoom — finds a better way of doing things, turns the user experience around, and becomes the industry leader," Anxo López, Design manager at BBVA, said. And we hope there’s still plenty more to come.
Great when you've got a power surge and you need to go looking for that one flashlight in your toolbox. 👍
And will be filled almost exclusively by cis white racist men. Also, from the IT side: these ‘conservative only’ or maga spaces tend to have the most appalling security known to man and it’s only a matter of time before they’ve been hacked.
Isn't the point of a dating app to find a good match? 🙁😉
Load More Replies...Luke, you have won the internet today. Possibly this whole week
Load More Replies...No pronouns at all? Nathaniel is white. Nathaniel like meals out. Nathaniel likes cheese.
It sounds like, "Name Ogg. Grunt. Ogg like woman. Woman go out with Ogg?" 🤷♀️ Maybe some women will be into that.
Load More Replies...Honestly, a great idea. It filters the conservatives out and puts them into their own app, thus cleaning the other ones.
At least until it fails and they cry WE'RE BEING CENSORED. Again.
Load More Replies...A trolling we will go, a trolling we will go. High ho the scario...
Load More Replies...Hmmm. I know a very particular 3 letter organization that would be interested in that information...
Load More Replies...Rob Steenvoorde - hi. Sorry but I don't get it? IncelGram?
Load More Replies...Sure would be a shame if attractive trans people flooded the site due to lackluster security.
This is sarcasm by the way. I hate that I have to actually state that under nearly all of my BP posts lately.
Load More Replies...I saw an article about this and apparently it tanked out pretty quickly (thank all of the gods)
Idk why most of you are hating on this. If you really don't like or wanna deal with conservatives wouldn't you want them away from you?
I just checked out the site where you can sign up...dog whistles everywhere
Lol! That is great! Crazy Trumpsters dating each other... now we need one for the Crazies on the other side. LeftOut?.com or something..
I might sound really dumb here but can someone please explain how on earth a conservative only app will have no prounouns? I mean I was expecting quite the opposite..
Conservatives are highly offended by anyone who chooses to use a pronoun that was not assigned to them at birth. And anyone who prefers They over He/She. It doesn't mean they won't use he or she - they just won't let anyone choose what they want to be called,
Load More Replies...This app will end up with 100% men (self-proclaimed "nice guys" of course) - who will wonder why they still can't get a date.
OMG how awful are those conversations going to be? And it encourages breeding.
Yet another reason I am now an Independent voter. This is awful
Something tells me they will advertise using lots of paid white female models.
I doubt it will be white only. There are all colors of conservatives out there, as much as the left refuses to acknowledge it. This rhetoric from the party that claims love, compassion, and inclusion.
As a "non- white" in a non- white area who knows a lot of other non- whites? No, it's not as common as you wish it were. There's actually a large open conversation about it in the "color" community. Ask that one black person that you know, and they might humor you and explain why the overwhelming majority of.... what did you call it? Colored? Anyways, the overwhelming majority of people that have been harmed by conservative politics are not conservative. A handful of outliers doesn't mean a lot.
Load More Replies...i like that it has no pronouns though truth be told. Highly doubt it's just white people. being conservative has nothing to do with your skin color. I'm conservative and of mixed race living in japan. I don't like being put in a category that has nothing to do with being a conservative.
You may be conservative, but this is US conservative. Are you white enough? Heavy into white nationalism? Are you into owning lots of guns? Have you attempted to overthrow your government over a fair and democratic election? Are you against abortion and birth control? Are you anti-vaccine? I could go on, but I think my point is made. These are just a few of the issues US conservatives are for. Are you sure you're US conservative?
Load More Replies...No pronouns will be difficult - no "I am looking for...", "Something about me..." etc. Will they refer to themselves as "one" like members of the royal family? These people are morons.
Just so everyone knows, I refuse to use a site that bans purple people.
What if they have one eye and one horn and eat people
Load More Replies...Sooo many things I could respond to this with--but no-no, I just can't...
No pronouns, eh. "Hi, Julie. It's nice to meet y— it's nice to interact. I'm glad we matched— Shoot! I mean— Double shoot!... The person that is speaking right now is glad that he— dammit!... Tom like matching with Julie. Tom think Julie pretty!"
Don't forget that "it" is also a pronoun, as is the understood "you" in "don't".
Load More Replies...There already is a dating app called The Right Stuff. There is also a Neo-Nazi podcast called The Right Stuff. So have fun with that
You meant that Trump finally dump his wife for younger chick from his app. Noice
It actually exists! 😳 They should just call it, “The White Stuff…” 🤦🏽♀️ https://www.daterightstuff.com/home
So.......if they have no pronouns, how are they gonna be able to search for a match?
Hahahaha, that c**p will fail like Donalds anti social network "truth social". Just cult members of that imbecile orange clown there.
I don't think this would be a challenge for them. Perhaps a warm exercise if they're drunk.
Load More Replies...Great thoughts guys, "these people deserve to be lonely because they hold different views"
Most of those different viewpoints are steeped in racism, sexism, ableist, and whatever else talking points I am missing. They will take a stereotype and try and make it into the absolute truth. That's a problem.
Load More Replies...Edward Gordon you're 100% right, it's ridiculous that we can't have anything that other races have, we're literally part of this planet too
Load More Replies...Note: this post originally had 113 images. It’s been shortened to the top 30 images based on user votes.
I loved a lot of these. Don't be bored so easily, guys - a lot of these are just little joys that give you a tiny spark in your dull everyday. (Except the baseball cap thing. That's just creepy 🙃
Republican dating site is a bad idea. We do not want them to breed.
I'm pretty sure 90% of the users will be batshit crazy white men, so the risk of them successfully breeding is rather low.
