Ok, so, who’s gonna explain me why people are editing EVERYWHERE?! I mean seriously, can someone explain to me why most of these posts are just people editing where they shouldn’t be editing.

[@Crow_Smith]

And why it's IN THIS SUBREDDIT or all places.

[@PQRDG]

Considering when this episode went up I am assuming these types of posts got bombarded on the subreddit for an April Fools Day gag but I could not tell you for sure.

So for anyone wondering who the person is editing in multiple places, did a bit of digging and found them. They are called Jelly House You look on their videos you will see just music videos but when you get to the SHORTS, you will find all the different places they have edited I was interested in who that was, so I went figuring that out And now you know too, hopefully that helps if you were interested in who it was

okay so it was Jelly House Shorts refrences problem is, THAT DONT EXPLAIN WHY PEEPO POST THIS ON R/CRAPPYDESIGN! like My Man just do some simple Photoshop edit of that screen and that wasnt crappy at all, not in a sense accident or something that this subreddit is all about anyway i have a bad day, my mom got into small accident resulting her hand to felt slightly pain, then to make me dont feel sad i jsut get this nonswnsical,ugh. i think this si the 1st time i might dislike someone videos, and its Emkay out of all peoples

[@Soooshi.]

In our art classroom we have automated sinks. Sounds pretty cool until you realise that the sinks are for washing paint brushes, not your hands. And the sensors are crappy, meaning you have to waste a minute waving your hands under the sensor until you can get a spurt of water to wash your brushes with.

[@impracticalnuke]

For the skinny door, we have doors like that in like government building and colleges and such in my country and it's main purpose is to store extra brooms and mops that anyone can use in case if someone puked or pissed themselves or spilled something and the janitors aren't around.

[@MaoMatsuri]

What a great idea, sadly in my country no one cleans after themselvs, and things like this one wouldn't be popular(

[@xtrem5428]

Huh, my theory was that is was a place to collapse those barrier fence walls, but your explanation makes sense too.

[@michaelhamilton3169]

That is what it was used for in my school ​@@xtrem5428

[@ericpaul4575]

My building has small doors like that for the mechanical/electrical closets. Maybe a tad wider though.

[@Nobody_Fn_Important]

@@xtrem5428 actually I have seen that kind of door in my post office doing just that with the barrier walls.

[@brentkeller3826]

Trough urinals do exist, but usually in a military setting. So, situation involving drinking, former military dude, goes in the restroom, brain defaults to "trough is for pee". I can very sadly easily imagine this happening and no I won't tell you where it happened.

[@DSoSJohnH]

Came down to look for this comment. I remember the trough urinal that my middle school had in the boys bathroom on the sport fields. I was always uncomfortable using it. This thing was around 15 to 25 feet long. Hated using it when there were others, especially adults in there. There was only 4 of 5 normal stalls and were usually always taken, luckily I wasn't dragged to that stuff very often, once or twice a year, but during school P.E. grrr.

[@brentkeller3826]

@@DSoSJohnH I don't recall my schools using trough urinals for the sports fields, but then again I wasn't very interested in sports so I would never have seen it even if it was there. But heading to Fort Drum in NY and doing the fueling stops, that was when the trough urinals were found. And some jerk always peed on the spigot used to rinse out the trough.

[@DSoSJohnH]

@@brentkeller3826 I wasn't interested in sports then either, still not. I think all sports are incredibly boring. These were installed in at least the 80's, maybe 70s, and there when I was in school in the 90's. I don't think they have them anymore though. Thinking more about it, I'm pretty sure that they had them in the building that hosted 4th and 5th grade in. In the 2nd/3rd grade building, they had the round troughs for washing our hands. I had never seen one before so thought it was for peeing in too, nah, it was the hand wash basin. It had the foot thing you step on to let the water run. Got caught using it by another student and got called to the principals, oh boy, was she ever angry. Threatening to paddle my butt for twenty minutes straight. I told her what I thought, and she ended up cooling down and laughing, which only made me cry more. Ended up with just being talked to and was explained, and told to never use them for that again.

[@spencercoots]

Wrigley Field.

[@LegorocketsAnimation]

Egghh! Public bathroom stalls are bad enough, urinals are pretty much unusable for me unless I'm very desperate. A pee trough is so disgusting.

[@melantharosewood]

The rainbow rock candy bath salts should be in r/dangerousdesigns instead, but I guess this doubles as crappy design too. That is just intentionally trying to poison kids. Edit: I think they meant “bath bombs” not “bath salts.” Either way, terrible design.

[@froggerthecatlady7962]

No, it's to make people eat faces

[@Totalinternalreflection]

A bite of Epsom salts isn't going to kill or even mildly posion anyone though tbf.

[@RavenDaSergalOwO]

@@Totalinternalreflection probably just taste a bit funny id asume

[@Totalinternalreflection]

@RavenDaSergalOwO it'd taste unpalatably salty so yeah, no kid would ever eat more than that first little bit. Saying that this product is dangerous to kids is like saying table salt is dangerous to kids because it looks like granulated sugar.

[@ActionYakPolice]

I know the face eating thing is more of a joke but from what I heard the idea that the guy was on bath salts was just the police speculating about what might have happened and there was no evidence for it

[@AroAce_Psychopath]

No really what's with the sudden boom of random video editing stuff LoL

[@Crow_Smith]

This ...this doesn't feel like crappy design ... some are software gore ... some are just nonsense [the timeline thing repeatedly] and then some are genuinely questionable design choices.

[@ebbamb]

My house has a door that exact size. What you're probably seeing there is just a small closet, we use ours for towels.

[@mage1439]

The only problem I have is that is a thick-assed door for something like that. Why is it not just a thin little folding door or something?

[@TheSecretLover]

@@mage1439 I imagine that if it’s in some sort of public building, they wanted all the doors to match.

[@jacobjshadow542]

10:32 As a Designer I had no clue there were sinks like that, also if it's custom like I think it may be they should have ordered a custom mirror or mirrors to put over the sink that would probably solve there problem

[@BeetleDragon]

My friend used to live in a house with stairs like the one at 3:26 and then her cat fell inside the stair hole and freaking died. (The cat was like 13 so it was pretty old but he definitely had another year or two in him)

if you stretch the imagination suuuper far, it might say "moment style". perhaps it is for infants who were born just a moment ago, but already had their growth spurt.

[@GuyfromtheWAN]

its "moment your style", whatever that means

[@Ghostfighter797]

Sometimes simplicity is key, especially when it comes to text.

[@Araminta22]

Whatever is going on with the Adobe Premier i have no idea. But the more i see of them the more amusing it gets. Slightly and slowly but it's getting there.

[@pirobot668beta]

Zinc chloride, a common ingredient in soldering flux. It's really, really good at stripping oxide layer from stainless steel. Just a tiny bit is all it takes to initiate 'body cancer' on stainless steel panels. I'm not saying that all cyber-trucks deserve to be reduced to a muddy-brown paste, but I'm sure y'all know one or two that richly deserve it.

That very small door actually contains a gate that you pull out of the wall to stop randos who come to junior high basketball games from wandering through the elementary school

[@jacobjshadow542]

6:45 Interior Designer here, that may be diy receptacle behind the sliding door or the door was replaced later or the Electrician plan and interior designers plan did not communicate on there Construction documents pages. I would like to think Diy because the receptacle is very high on the wall. Usually, a receptacle is placed 12" to 18" from the floor to middle of the receptacle. Also normally they are not rotated 90 degrees.

[@DaPlenThing]

This went from crappy design to “everything is premiere”

[@SirCattio]

You know you have watched emkay for to long that the first thing you said when seeing the slender door on the thumbnail was "oh, a slender door for slender man" before even watching the video

Lexi and I are polar opposites in 2 very important ways, our views on the edibility of Spicey Pillows: and PUNS!

If I had to guess, the "crappy design" about the editing posts is how the devices can easily be accessed/hijacked via Chromecast or Bluetooth.

[@barrianic4]

oohhh

[@MichelleLM88]

9:14 My best guess on the buttons starting from top left going right 1)popcorn button (that you supposedly should never use) 2)Coffee/tea button (really it's a hot water in mug button) 3) Defrost ( if that's not the defrost button I need to have a talk with makers of this abomination) 4) this one I'm not entirely sure but it probably bake /microwave 5) reheat (unless I got this and 4 mixed up) 6) add 30 seconds ( this is my favorite button due to it default of standard microwaving when pressed and it can be hit multiple to get to the time you need as long as it is an interval of 30.) 7)power level button ( I assume you press it then use the arrow buttons at the bottom to change from 100% to as low as 20 or 30% power) 8) timer ( this is used when you can't get your oven timer to work and/or you don't have your phone) 9) clock (used to set the time on the microwave)

Is the video editing meme an alternate version of "but can it play DOOM?"

[@jkolbly1]

10:30 I have seen one bathroom with urinals that look kinda like that, they are at my hometowns drive-in theater. Didn't try to look at all fancy like this sink, it is a couple long and narrow tubs with a drain in the center and a pipe with multiple holes along the top for water to run down from if I remember correctly. I should go see a movie there next time I visit home.

[@anthrosaurian]

4:48 This kind of rewiring is common when the original wiring in the center tube develops a dead short to said tube from either rubbing against the interior over time or overheating/melting. So they bypass the original problematic wiring entirely and just run a new wire wherever they can...

[@nyoaeuikhoudu]

About the door at the beginning: During a play at my school, the stage crew accidentally used a linen closet door on the set piece for my character's office, only one person in the scene could fit through the door normally without having to comedicallu squeeze through. Instead of replacing it it became the running gag of the scene.

In terms of the red rear turn signals, some motorcycle brands now have their turn signal double as their break lights and are red (my motorcycle has this).
