I have a fear of a swarm of self replicating 3D printers consuming all available raw materials and engulfing the planet.

Anything with a spout which doesn't pour perfectly.

Anything you stick on a hob with handles which get hot.

there's lots of stuff some people are allergic to, doesn't make them useless. My taste buds are allergic to whiskey, lager, wine and ale, doubt I'd be allowed to class those as pointless on here tho 😉

windows 8 for none touchscreen devices?
or maybe that should just be "windows 8."

for bikes : 15mm axles, 35mm bar clamps, and any headset standard developed by Giant.

for cars : automatic handbrakes.

Actually... I like this idea. If only for the gauges. Gauges are cool.

As someone who is teetotal I can confirm this! They taste like crap and there are loads of nicer soft drinks to consume.

Curved TV screens. Who has ever sat watching TV and thought the programme could be better if only the screen was a bit more concave?

Right.

Automatic handbrake would have saved at least one life that I know of.

Decaf coffee - some people like the taste of coffee but can't handle all that much caffeine.

Quorn. The packaging it comes in tastes better. If you don't want to eat meat, don't. Replacing it with cardboard based protein substitute is a waste of the other ingredients. Just make a vegetable version.

Any new standard championed by Giant gets my vote - there's a reason why none of my bikes are a Giant.

Also, anything involving splines and bearings made by RaceFace, which will inevitably be rendered scrap within a short space of time.

And Michael Gove. We need to deport him to an uninhabited and remote island somewhere before he does any more damage.

Cheap shite that only works for a limited time, so it's not worth the earths resources being given up for it's creation.
