Useless Box That Switches Itself Off

This wonderfully made black box might look like any old box. It even comes with an on/off switch to open the top. Convenient, right? But this little box has a will of its own. As soon as you flick the switch, a mechanical arm emerges from the box and… flicks the switch back. And that is all this box does. Utterly useless, but in a way quite brilliant as well. Just like the website you are currently viewing in your browser.

Useless box.

The box comes with some extra screws, bolts and a miniature screwdriver. So after you build the box from scratch, you can always keep yourself busy taking the box apart and putting it back together again, for absolutely no reason.

Useless box in action.

There’s no greater way to throw away your hard-earned cash than on the useless box. You can get it on Amazon for $15 or so.
