Top 15 practical inventions that we stopped using out of pride (give back the scratches)
"Life is not much too easy" said Aristotle. And he was right, the little father. So yes, sometimes we are lucky, we can count on boring but useful things in humans or childish tips useful on a daily basis to help us. Yet sometimes, it seems that we want to complicate our task even more in “Nah, but it would be too easy if my whole life was cool” mode. That's how we came to stop using these overly convenient items just because someone decided they were a shame.
1. The scratches on shoes to stop breaking your ass tying pretty knots
I would like to know at what time we said to ourselves that giving up the too practical scratches in favor of little sons who tangled and that no one can put together to make pretty knots was a good idea. Well, I don't know, explain to me why you like wasting time like that on the pretext that scratches are for children. It might be time to realize that the truth actually comes out of their shoes.
2. The bibs to stop having bolo stains on his white shirt for the rest of his life
If only for people who don't eat their breakfast in pajamas, it would be necessary to rehabilitate for all the bib, at the restaurant and in family meals in particular. For everyone's honor please.
3. The neck warmers that prevent you from catching ten colds in a row
So yes, it's ugly, yes you look like a boomer. But we're going to have to reinstate that quickly if we want to stop believing that we have the Covid every other week every winter, all because we haven't protected our little throats. Full ass to drink 8L of syrup from October to May.
4. The bike helmets that help you not to cry stupidly
We abandoned bicycle helmets at the age of 12 for an obvious question of style. Yet today, when we ride on the hard shoulder of the ring road with our unbridled electric bike at 80km/h, we say to ourselves that in fact, compared to death, it's not so ugly a helmet.
5. Sock suspenders to stop losing them in your boots
I don't think there's anything more annoying on Earth than a sock that slips under your panard to prevent you from walking. Render the sock suspenders. NOW.
6. Roller shoes to go everywhere much faster
I don't care if these shoes are for kids, I'm going to set up my manufacturing company for these pumps which will be called "Au bout de la roulette" and they will be available up to size 56. To infinity and beyond!
7. Undershirts to keep you warm in winter
Your grandmother will certainly be able to pass you hers and she would be right because you will be the only person not to have peeling nipples in winter. And that's worth all the worst styles in the world.
8. Nightcaps that wake up to beautiful hair
Have you ever wondered why rich people have beautiful hair? Well I'll tell you, it's because they wear silk caps at night. Afterwards, we do not say that they have the libido of the century when they go to bed. But you have to make choices in life and frankly, it's not the soft hair option that should be skipped.
9. Onesies, the best pajamas
Remember when we fell asleep in onesies and our parents carried us to our bed and pretended to sleep. Isn't this the best time in life? Onesies are therefore naturally part of the baby stuff that is useful even for adults.
10. Clamshell phone cases that save your screen
We know, you definitely don't want to look like a 50-year-old watching TPMP while drinking chicory, but believe us , your cracked screen every three months will say thank you, it will even say thank you very much if it is very polite.
11. The cords of glasses so that you no longer sit on them and break them
You already have the immense chance of being nearsighted with 2/10 in each eye, but if in addition you add more by leaving you opportunity to lose your only means of seeing, nothing more can be done for you.
12. Fleeces that keep you warm
We're lucky, vintage fleeces are starting to come back into fashion thanks to people who find that it gives them a stylish look. Unfortunately, I think we can give up on the Decathlon fleeces we wore in college and that's a shame because they are the most charismatic of the range.
13. Balaclavas to keep your cheeks warm
Supposedly because we look like tobacco shop robbers with them, we should refrain from wearing these little marvels that keep us warm in the face. No, actually, let me sweat my mustache even in winter if I feel like it.
14. The tights and other fleece leggings that keep your legs safe
It's totally a friend who asked me to defend these textiles, ok?? Nothing to do with me if I advocate the comfort and warmth provided by these clothes even if they make our look questionable.
15. The cords for the gloves
Don't worry, you look less stupid with your gloves coming out of your sleeves thanks to these little cords than with only one glove because you lost the other under a bus wheel. Besides, you're still alive because of them so you should be grateful.
The person who decided that these objects no longer deserve our love is certainly the same person who said to hate these physical things which are nevertheless mega useful. At the stake.
