The human capacity for ingenuity never ceases to make me smile.

We’re surrounded by the greatest technology in the history of the world, but sometimes it’s the little tweaks and fixes by everyday people that really blow our minds and make us say, “now that is impressive!”

And we think these posts about solutions to all kinds of problems will be right up your alley.

Let’s see what these smart folks have been up to!

1. This is so cool!

I wish more historic sites did this.

2. You need to help people out in times of crisis.

And this is one good way to do it.

3. Cash in those cans.

And help some folks out in the process.

In Norway you get a small amount of money for recycling bottles/cans. They’re often collected by poor people, homeless etc. A lot of our trash cans has these holders around them so people don’t have to search through the trash to collect them

There has to be a better way!

Then you won’t have to pick it up off the floor over and over again.

11. Oh, boy…this is good.

You should also be able to charge them extra if the kids are bad.

12. What do you want to look at today?

Boats all day for me!

These public benches are reversible, so you can choose to look at people, or boats.

13. What a cool concept!

I bet this is much appreciated.
