THE WORST DIY OF r/DIWHY

[@dragongirl1274]

My parents used ungodly ammounts of spray foam in a diy project, but it was for a good reason. I own two iguannas, and instead of paying thousands for an enclosure with foam rocks(real rocks are heavy), they made one and used spray foam to make fake rocks and ledges for them to climb and sit on. They covered the foam in a safe paint so that they wouldn't get sick.

[@grain_o_salt]

your grandma is a very nice person

[@dragongirl1274]

I know

[@voidface8827]

Aw that is so sweet:) I hope you, your grandma, and your lil iguanas have a nice day

[@Disbanded9998]

why not like just get smaller rocks?

[@justin463]

your parents sound dope. how long did the whole project take? they made a whole enclosure with the stuff as well or just the rocks and ledges? was the time worth it compared to the price for the expensive ones?

[@mokono5331]

With the "wheelchair" one, it was just a lawn chair, it has this weird wheel thing in the back and then the hoverboard in the front acting as the front wheels and a way to move the chair lol

[@dadoctah]

Yeah, the hoverboard part provides actual propulsion. Also, the sandbox for your feet under the desk is sort of what Brian Wilson did during his peak depression phase, only he had his under the piano so he could pretend he was composing at the beach.

[@adarmus4768]

Came to the comments to say the same thing. How anybody could actually identify that as a wheelchair is beyond me.

[@zerrierslizer1]

48:07 When i was a kid, a friend's mom had one of these toilets with this style. It had no flowers but insetad BUTTERFLIES and OTHER BUGS as the image. Everytime i would enter the bathroom i would jump out of FEAR thinking there were hundreds of bugs in the freaking toilet. I hated it so bad.

[@itsyapeepkiri]

Oh, Mom has a vinyl sticker for Halloween that sticks to the toilet lid and has like 8 different spiders on it. Terrifies me to no end....

[@asaxon6930]

"Yarn bomb" was a trend where you would knit a yarn covering around a public object. People did it on trees a lot. It's colorful and fun and, I'm pretty sure, meant to be temporary. It's just a type of street art / vandalism. The "bomb" part of the name is like how people use "photo bomb", I think. It's like, surprising and out of nowhere but silly and fun. The trend reminds me of flash mobs, similar vibes.

4:41 Sometimes, it’s a matter of “DIWhy Not?”. Sure, it is a recycled dumpster. But it’s been properly cleaned and repurposed. And it admittedly looks really cool. So, again. DIWhy Not? Also, the “flesh painting”? Throw in a few more elements, and you’d have yourself an excellent horror-inspired art piece.

[@mikethegoo]

I mean... Some of them are kinda cool. Maybe we need some kind of "Oddly cool stuff" subreddit. It's like terrible idea, great execution, but instead of bad ideas, just DIY, odd ideas, maybe bad ideas, but like... They look pretty cool or interesting. Like the Heineken briefcase, or the coat hanger snowflake, or the shopping cart shelf or stuff like that Also, I like your pfp

[@Toaster0]

3:42 I’m pretty sure these are shed cicada shells. This was probably like a childrens craft thing which makes sense as I use to do this kind of thing with cicada shells when I was a kid as well. You can find these anywhere in a place that there are usually cicadas if it’s the right time of year like on trees or buildings, their legs can stick to basically anything. They spend 17 years underground ( I think that’s the time ) before emerging and shedding their shells like a snake before being able to fly and make that annoying noise you always hear lol.

[@favoritemustard3542]

You've heard of Christmas in July? You could take a bunch of shells, string them like a popcorn garland, & have July in Christmas!

[@readyforlol]

The french text at 45:00 says : "To better understand politics, I made this chair which lets you sit on the law" (as in disregard the law). I think it's more an art piece with a message than an actual chair intended to be practical, comfortable or an actual recycling effort.

It’s awesome we have all the narrators in one video! Keep up the great work

[@Kevoonio]

well this video is just multiple emkay videos edited together, so some have dif narrators

[@whatasilly_fella]

3:26 this is a very "2000's hippie family" craft, i did them when i was younger. its purpose is to put in the garden as a decoration or stepping stone piece. its concrete in a pie tin, then the kids get to put their hand or foot print in it, put shiny glass beads in it, ect

[@matildarose]

I was about to say that! My mom got a kit to make some for each of the grandkids to use as stepping stones.

6:55 The real issue w/ the tire seats would be when the red wasps have a couple uninterrupted days to build a nest in one. Because they would love this.

[@voilet-the-non-violet-vulpix]

Tires also get sloggy, mosquito-egg garnished tannin water pooled into them pretty easy, so you’d either have to bring them inside when you’re done, or do an undignified shimmy-wriggle with them every time you use ‘em to slosh the water out.

"It takes some serious talent to fool me" - The guy that thought a lawn chair attached to an axle with wheels is a wheelchair

[@cassius5692]

Wheelchair user here. That wheelchair is a transport chair, it's designed to be pushed by someone else and can't be driven by the person sitting in it. At least not until you attach a hoverboard to it :)

[@TowelsGotTheFunk]

4:10 Thats actually really cool. I agree with Damien, like the time it must of took to make it. I think if they painted it, it would look a bit better, but thats awesome.

[@winterwolf7812]

So I didn't watch these videos frequent enough to realize that different people commentate so i just subconsciously assumed that Damien, Robin, Leki, and Zach were all one person despite the voice differences and didn't bother to question it. 17 minutes into the video and i'm just now realizing this... 1000 IQ right here

3:30 This is actually made from one of those little DIY "make your own stepping stones!" kits. They're cute, and they're predominantly intended for kids, which is why-of course-the craftsmanship isn't necessarily the _best_ there. But it's not a plate, that's for sure. And it's cute for a stepping stone! Usually they're just plain.

Where on the face of the planet would this be seen as normal? When would this be useful? You know, the important questions.

[@eitrtine3448]

I once bought a really cursed looking "sheepdog statue" while on vacation in Puerto Rico when I was a child... if I remember, the thing was about 30 dollars, made completely out of different colored seashells... and I still have it.

32:34 @EmKay This is a rockwall, actually a fantastic barrier in windy places, but whoever installed it apparently thought the braces were decorative, and did not read the instructions concerning correct bracer spacing. Soon as he poured the rocks in, it became a chainlink bag of rocks. You can see one of the braces on the middle post, where the second sheet begins. Those are supposed to be every few inches, not one at each corner.
