Hello all,
It seems like every week you find somebody wants more money for crazy stuff. They pose these insane ideas, and somehow get people to give them money. I thought it'd be nice to have a place to go, and laugh at some of this stuff.
So, first off I've got a Back to the Future style hoverboard: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1690998653/magnetic-hoverboard-i-think-yes?ref=discovery
They claim to have invented mono-pole magnets strong enough to levitate a person and seemingly fly on every surface. Apparently a basic understanding of magnetism allows you to make a non-dangerous magical device that magnetically floats over non-ferrous surfaces.
Next, I have someone selling pixels. No joke here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/543991739/pixelmenowcom?ref=discovery
Finally, a free energy source: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1522712959/free-electricity-device-randd?ref=discovery
Never mind that the theories were disproven a decade ago. Never mind that he has admitted to falsifying data. I'm betting anybody who needs a good laugh can spend five minutes here, and feel better about whatever it is they did today: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/John_Hutchison
Got more, please share them. I posted about the space howitzer before, but humanity seems to find new ways to fail every day. We can at least have a good laugh about it here.
