    Grin Solar powered flashlights and other nonsense

    Let's compile a list of impossible, idiotic, and seemingly contradictory 'inventions'.

    Here is my personal favorite. I don't think it's been thought up by enough people, since I'm the only person who ever says it:

    "powdered water" : just add water.

    Your turn.

    A solar-powered flashlight would be good if it could store charge

    Never heard of the powdered water one though, good one

    One of my friends told me about solar powered flashlights and powdered water.

    I guess I'll mention a few more:

    I use something like that whenever I have a "great idea", only I usually call it "dehydrated water", which is just an empty bottle with instructions to "Just add water". Great minds and all I guess.

    I can't think of any others though.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    A Food Decomposer.

    Basically, it's just a box that you put food inside and then wait till it's decomposed.
