It’s always a pain when something gets damaged or breaks. Particularly if a pricey fix or replacement is needed. Where possible, many of us will try to do the work ourselves removing labor costs, and we might even get a bit creative and repair something in a non-traditional way. However, most of us know what the sensible limits are. Notice that we said ‘most’ of us! Here we have a list of things that were hilariously fixed by natural born engineers. Some of them are borderline genius, whereas others are huge fails. Take a look and make your judgements!

We have collected 15 pictures showing stupid looking ideas that are actually genius! Take a look!

These images not only show how you can make the best out of a bad situation, but they also show numerous ways of improving the functionality of existing ideas. We will be mentally storing these solutions and suggestions for the future. In our eyes anything that can make our lives easier is a positive! Keep going to see even more!

Another thing we like about these ideas is how many of them are budget conscious. When things break or malfunction, it’s often bad fortune that the incidents occur at the worst times when you’re low on funds. At the very least, some of these ideas can see you through until you can afford repairs or replacements. Of course, we don’t recommend all of them as permanent solutions but it’s good to know that you can buy yourself some much needed time.

Strange people are the most creative of all when it comes to weird ideas. The explanation for this is simple. The mind can only process information as much as it can store. A logical mind filters the relevant information only and discards everything else. Hence, the mind only processes limited yet pertinent information. On the other hand, a weird mind takes in every piece of information whether relevant or not. When this barrage of information enters the mind, weird ideas happen. Luckily for us, the world is abundant with weird people who never cease to amaze us with their bizarre yet brilliant minds. Here are some examples of weird ideas from creative people.
