Ties/bowties.

Ties were originally used as a convenient means to always have a napkin (like a cape was a convenient means to carry around a blanket) that was eventually made into an aesthetic thing. 

I did not know that, but I should have expected it once had a practical purpose besides a fashion accessory. Now they are just a pointless and uncomfortable accessory in my opinion. I have not worn a tie since I was 3/4 years old.

Exact opposite here.
I wear a Tie both casually and formally.
Or a scarf. Depends on my mood. Sometimes both.

It must be a fashion trend amongst kids a few years-several years younger than me. I believe I have seen my brother wear them like that casually before. For me, I am apathetic towards fashion in general as I wear what I feel comfortable with.

OK, I have a question about bidets and such.  Like, uh, what if you're a person with major messy poop issues?  Is the water stream strong enough to clean it off?  Some people...use baby wipes....cause............yeah.  I should go.

What about using a different kind of toilette when you don't sit on nothing?
We call the kind I mentioned on my first comment the oldsters toilette. Using this won't hurt you 4 times a day, 4 minutes each or even less:

That type of toilet will not work for me at all.

@LoneWolf, In the coming empire you will get used to it!

This thread and the people's silly and useless comments in it which have not served anyone in anyway, nor will serve the betterment of humanity, society, oneself or this site. I predict a lock-down very soon. What I say has weight for this will come to fruition based on the three trolls I've encountered already (excluding myself) attempting to cite flame wars in this thread based on religion and politics and therefore my comment is actually valid. The flame war in this thread is inevitable. When it gets locked, I win.

Disagree? Then say it to my face irl not online and see what happens.

Uh, no.  I'd fall .  While that'd be hilarious and all, I'll stick to sit and _____.    Although squatting is better for evacuation. I just ain't got the knees nor balance for it.

Electric razor.

Why do people use the miserable sh...?
Expensive. Noisy, Unclean. Nuke your face forever and it's still not a perfect shave.
Why? For Chr'sakes, why, why?

Compare that to the preceding Gillette safety razor. A perfect shaving tool.

Because it's simple and easy

 But I will agree, there is a useless sword that was made Neo.
The German Zweihander.

Too big and too heavy to be of any actual use.
And it's main use was to take out Pike formations, which could be taken out by far more efficient means.
Single handedly the worst Greatsword ever invented.

You know nothing.
Best sword ever.

Religion

I'm afraid that doesn't qualify.
We're not allowed to discuss religious matters here, but without even doing that, I would argue very strongly that it's highly obvious that religion is quite useful for a variety of things, regardless if you're a believer or not.
That some atheists find it useless from their perspective doesn't mean that it's useless for all atheists. Some examples, just to make this clear: Motivation, excuse, justification, norm, scapegoat.

Really? What kind of absolute failure of a human being actually has this happen to them?

Well, either a cartoon character.... or an "actor" in an infomerical.

I'd name the polygraph as well, but that's not a silly or funny invention as much as it is a horrible, life ruining, should never have been taken seriously, type of invention.

So have a gyrobowl instead.

Radithor.

The knowledge base is different today. But then again, - maybe not. While it seems very weird today that people would think it logical that radioactivity should be "healthy", a lot of people, educated and not, believe a lot of weird things today too.

Solar panels and wind turbines.
They produce hardly ANY energy and are practically useless for 99.9% of applications, but the hippies are obsessed with them.

The fossil fuel industry actually played an enormous role in promoting these technologies as a means to distract environmentalists from the fact that nuclear power was the only power source that ever had the potential to stop climate change. Might be too late for it to help now though.

I think we can all agree when I say...

Plastic surgery. It has it's uses, but most people use it for the purposes of altering their appearance, whether they need it or not.
