20 Funny Examples of ‘If It’s Stupid and It Works, It’s Not Stupid’

Many geniuses were probably laughed at when they came up with their genius solutions. Same goes for the following Redditors, who rebuked the naysayers, and argue that if a solution is stupid but effective, it’s no longer stupid. I’m inclined to agree, because coming up with the idea to use a soda can to fix a muffler is truly inspired. 

Others also chimed in with dumb solutions that aren’t so dumb, and we’ve got a few amateur mechanics on our hands.

Sexycornwitch 4y ago I struggled for years with anemia no one could find the cause for. Kept getting really sick, and every iron supplement caused severe side effects.

After so many attempts at medical intervention about it, it turns out the thing that fixed it was a couple cheap kids vitamins that can be found at any drugstore. 1.9K Share ...
