Wow the eyes really do play tricks on you. I could have bet it said Pointless.... :shrug:
 
Totally pointless inventions:

Edible underwear.

Who feels a craving for underwear? Duh!
 
Here are a few:

What inventions do you see as totally pointless?

Cordless keyboard: Pain in the ass to change the battery's when you would almost never want the keyboard further than a cord length because you can't read the screen anyway.

Cordless peripherals are nice because you no longer have the problem of cords everywhere.
 
This and that

Not our fault, S.A.M. They accommodate archaic "decency" standards, and now have a certain nostalgic value. The Floater concert in Seattle for New Year included performances by ... uh ... I think they were called the Burning Hearts Burlesque or something like that. This one woman got up and danced to that Muppet song "Phenomenon" with pasties on her breasts and googly-eyes stuck on her ass. It was hilarious.

And besides, there is some skill involved in using tasseled pasties properly. Like making the tassles spin in opposite directions in time to the music? Really, it's great.

Jeans fith pocket (the little one). Even if you can get something in it, like a quarter or a guitar pick, you will struggle like hell to get it back out.

Cigarette lighters. That's what I use that pocket for. Well, used. And will again, I'm sure.

You can also hide a good bud there, and if you wrap it properly, it's not too tough to get back out.

This key on the keyboard

` <-----------

What the hell can it do other than take up space???

Windows users might have some trouble with it, but for Mac users, you just hit Option-` and then the letter you want accented, and voilà.

Or maybe it's supposed to be voilá. Or voilâ. Voilä?

Anyway, it's an accent key. And, I'm told, in LaTeX, it's used for an opening quote mark. ``How are you today?''

And it has some purpose elsewhere in online publishing. I don't imagine all those news sites that use that kind of quote mark are using LaTeX.

Voilã?

Anyway ....

flavoured condoms

I'm iffy about the damn things, too, but recently, studies have emerged suggesting unprotected fellatio is contributing (via HPV) to throat cancer. This is unfortunate, since condoms defeat most of the reasons I like to give head.

I admit I'm hard-pressed to think of a totally pointless invention. Rather, I simply look at the people who have uses for some things and remind myself that nature, while often mysterious, is not extraneous.

S.A.M.'s note on edible underwear, for instance. Hey, I agree. But, yeah, some people get off eating the underwear off their partner. Whatever. I think g-strings are ridiculous because I'm used to the idea that they don't even cover the vagina, and exist purely for aesthetics. But even that is a reason. And, hey, g-strings on men are even worse. (Trust me on that one, please?)

Anyway, give me some time. I'm sure I can come up with something.
