15+ Fascinating Ideas That Are More Clever Than They Look

Unless we're using a shower that we're familiar with, it's almost guaranteed that we'll have to spend some time tinkering with it to find the right temperature.

However, that's not the case for the shower in this hotel because it tells you the exact temperature of the water as you use it. Finally!

So rather than change the doors to reflect its new purpose, its owners just decided to leave the old company names up.

I'd say it actually makes specific apartments easier to find for delivery people and gives each one a little more character.

Of course, this idea is more amazing for the fact that it can be done than it is advisable to actually do it.

So unless you really enjoy cleaning up a room full of potatoes when they're at their most disgusting, I wouldn't try this at home.

Although it kind of seems like it would make the game harder, it also looks like an opportunity to rethink how the game is played and try out a bunch of trick shots that would never work on a normal table.

I think it's worth a try.

If all of the parts that actually make the toilet flush are present and connected right, I suppose it doesn't necessarily matter what you house them in.

Fortunately, it doesn't have to because it just needed to stay in place long enough for a group of friends to watch a UFC pay per view and celebrate a birthday.

And from the sounds of it, these logs and zip ties did the job just fine.

So to keep it from drooping over and getting in the way, they decided to hold it up with a a towel and a sock instead.

And all it took was some nice PVC piping, electrical tape, and another piece to bolt the whole contraption down and keep it secure.

Good thinking.

Although the hatch with the clear lid was their addition to this unit, the rest of it largely consists of an old couch.

As you can see, a taxpayer down under can not only know what they're paying for but also how much of their money is going to each public service.

Even governments who love secrets can probably make use of this so long as they also adopt that "other purposes" row.

And it turns out they had it right because all they needed to fix it was some rope and a big stick.

Granted, it's definitely a temporary fix but those also have a way of working for longer than expected.

One commenter even admitted that they use it more to stoke their fire pit than they do to actually blow leaves.

Just know that if this seems like an attractive idea, you can run the risk of — at the very least — melting it.

And from the looks of it, that something more was the top half of a shopping cart. I have to admit, I like how it matches the rack's color.

From there, you may be wondering why someone put a mirror next to this window.

Well, that's apparently because the room it's facing doesn't get a lot of sunlight so the mirror was placed to reflect it in.

Although it seemed like a tough dilemma, it apparently wasn't anything that an energy drink can and some duct tape couldn't fix.

But while a couple of wood planks and a scissor jack hardly seems like the most stable way to prop up this church wall, it's apparently managed to do that for three years by now.

Well, one person was able to feed and attach a rope pull to it and use that to turn the water dispenser on. Button or no button, they were quenching their thirst.

It's something they do a lot and the results do seem like a lot of practice went into them. As for why they did it this time?

Well, anything's more fun than studying for exams.

According to some commenters in the skilled trades, this is actually called an emergency overflow scupper and if water is coming out of it, that means the roof drains are either faulty or there's too much water for them to handle.

Since ignoring that problem can eventually make the roof collapse, builders often put the scupper in an obviously annoying place so the building's owners have to deal with it.

As you've likely guessed, this isn't a real tree but rather a sculpture made from blown glass. That's right, each tangle of this thicket was carefully molded that way.

Crazy, isn't it?
