About Stupid and Unnecessary

Welcome to the About Stupid and Unnecessary page, a digital shrine to all things ridiculous. This is the official spot to learn what Stupid and Unnecessary is, how it came to be, and why we felt the world needed an entire site dedicated to it. This site was born from late-night scrolling, group chats full of “what is this” links, and a deep admiration for humanity’s weirdest inventions. It is a love letter to novelty nonsense, curated with equal parts confusion and respect.

We are not here to solve problems. We are here to glorify them. If it is pointless, peculiar, or poorly thought out, you are in the right place. We document the absurd not because it is useful, but because it is too good to ignore. It is the kind of stuff that makes you question reality, laugh out loud, and then click “Buy Now” just to feel something.

What This Is

This is not a normal store. It is not a review site either. Think of it as a digital museum of disasters in product form. We highlight one product trainwreck each day and let readers vote on just how stupid and how unnecessary it really is.

Some of the items are affiliate links. If you are going to buy a chicken harness, we might as well earn a few cents for pointing it out. There is no hard sell and no pressure. We just shine a spotlight on products that probably should not exist.

This site is more than a joke. It is a low-stakes social experiment about taste, tolerance, and impulse control. Some of the products are oddly brilliant. Some are disturbingly specific. All of them deserve their 15 seconds of infamy.

Who's Behind This?

The brain behind this mess is someone who should probably be doing something more productive. Running Stupid and Unnecessary has become a way to turn digital junk into joyful distraction, and this About Stupid and Unnecessary section exists to tell the story behind that mission. After years in the corporate world, a growing fascination with bizarre online listings, and way too many novelty mugs, this project finally came to life.

It exists because someone had to draw a line, then step over it wearing inflatable dinosaur slippers. We have all impulse-bought something ridiculous. This site simply admits it out loud. If you are still reading, congratulations. You have found your people.

Why It Exists

The internet is too useful. Life is too efficient. People take things far too seriously. Stupid and Unnecessary exists to push back against all that. It is a detour. A break from productivity. A place to laugh at the world’s worst ideas and maybe discover something you never knew you needed.

We celebrate uselessness. We salute ridiculous inventions. We are not here to judge, unless the product truly deserves it. The world can be heavy. That does not mean your inbox can’t contain a screaming goat button or a tiny toilet for your pencils. Everything you see on this About Stupid and Unnecessary page comes from a genuine love for ridiculous ideas and an even stronger urge to share them.

*We didn’t invent dumb. ThisIsWhyImBroke.com walked so we could run with scissors.

How This Site Works

Each day, we feature one product that feels like a fever dream. Visitors vote on a scale from 1 to 10 for both stupidity and unnecessary-ness. That is it. That is the whole concept.

We do make a little affiliate revenue, but the real motivation is joy. If even one person laughs, questions reality, or says “who thought this was a good idea,” we consider that a win.

Sometimes the weirdest stuff ends up being the most loved. Other times it disappears into the internet void, never to be seen again. Either way, it deserves a moment of infamy, and we are happy to provide it.

We exist for the clicks, the chuckles, and the chaos.

Still Confused?

Still confused? That is normal. Stick around, submit your own, or just enjoy the bizarre beauty of products nobody asked for.
