（这段太长，保留了）think it’s time for something on the lighter side, some comic relief as it were. with that in mind i give you chindogu: the
not-so-ancient Japanese art of inventing ingenious everyday gadgets
that, on the face of it, seem like an ideal solution to a particular
problem. However, Chindogu has a distinctive feature: anyone actually
attempting to use one of these inventions, would find that it causes so
many new problems, or such significant social embarrassment, that
effectively it has no utility whatsoever. Thus, Chindogu are sometimes
described as ‘unuseless’ - that is, they cannot be regarded as
‘useless’ in an absolute sense, since they do actually solve a problem;
however, in practical terms, they cannot positively be called ‘useful’. the following are 12 examples culled from the pages of the book 101 unuseless inventions.
