Things That Somehow Still Exist


Whether it's a product that was never actually effective from the start, a company with a horrible business model, or just a mother of an inconvenience, it is weird that some of these things are still around. For other questionable things, here are things that exist only because people are dumb. For some real specific memories, here's some unhealthy fast food nostalgia.

1.

Text - chuteboxhero 38 points · 11 hours ago MLM schemes. They are so well known at this point and a simple google search can show you that the "company" is not legit but people continue to get caught up in them somehow.

Text - nmj95123 47 points · 11 hours ago Keurigs. They make awful coffee, generate a horrible amount of waste, and there are better methods for making single servings of coffee or tea.

Text - DeBlasioDeBlowMe 33.9k points · 12 hours ago An extra convenience fee to pay online. DeluxeBurger01 14.8k points · 11 hours ago Especially when they only accept payment online.. What, it costs money to fucking pay the ONLY way I can? Fuck that.

Text - helix274 84 points · 13 hours ago The Simpsons ThePeasantKingM 32 points · 12 hours ago The Simpsons are still here but their spirit's been gone for a while

7.

Text - freeze_dried0 112 points · 13 hours ago Skin lightening creams. They're illegal in many places but people still use them all over the Middle East and Asia. A lot of them contain stuff like hydroquinone, corticosteroids, and mercury. They cause tons of damage to your skin and overall health and are seriously bad for you.

Text - jorsiem 33.3k points · 14 hours ago · edited 11 hours ago F The supremacy of the fucking TI-83 calculator in school and college courses I mean I know it's all artificial and orchestrated by them but how come no body has dared to challenge the almighty TI yet

Text - underbakedsalami 27.1k points · 13 hours ago I kid you not, our local Chipotle is taking orders via fax. I can't get over it.

Text - nalanajo 19.9k points · 15 hours ago The Blue Laws. Who the fuck are you to tell me I can't purchase beer while grocery shopping on a Sunday because of someone else's religion? This one actually infuriates me.

12.

Text - JustMakingForTOMT 17.2k points · 11 hours ago The original 1996 Space Jam website. Foliagedbones 5.7k points - 9 hours ago Here's a link for those interested!

13.

Text - jorsiem 15.7k points · 13 hours ago Complicated tax filing in the US You can thank TurboTax and the rest of the tax preparation service industry's massive lobby for killing every single tax simplification bill that ever gets to congress.

14.

Text - -EDBAR- 13.8k points · 14 hours ago 3 Child beauty pageants. Should have gotten rid of then a long time ago.

15.

Text - Idavoiduinrl 11.5k points · 14 hours ago Pennies, they are dirty and worth like only a penny each.

16.

Text - QuestionableSaint 6.6k points · 13 hours ago Cobol, the programming language. Been around a long time, almost no one learns to program in it anymore, but companies (especially banks) are probably never going to get something else. Runner up: Fax machines. Still nessecary for transmitting HIPAA protected documents. That's right, they can't use email or anything else. Certain companies require documents to be faxed.

Text - thom5377 4.2k points · 11 hours ago Televangelists. Like how?? randarrow 1.2k points · 10 hours ago Anything broadcast TV. Is like a weird time machine targeting old people and extreme poverty.

18.

Text - pitcher12k 3.5k points · 12 hours ago Checks. They are so insecure, on one piece of paper you have my name, address, signature, bank account #, and routing number. And, it is more recommended to send a check in the mail rather than cash. And people (myself included at times) get nervous typing in a credit card number online! Bah!

Text - Magister1995 3.2k points · 13 hours ago · edited 2 hours ago That in the US almost all private restaurants throw away their perfectly good food at end of the day... Why don't we give it to the hungry???

Text - Sukerius 2.0k points · 12 hours ago Those oddly specific, cringy ass shirts that end with "yes, my shirt." Bitch, why tho? bought me this

21.

Text - AlexAnthonyFTWS 1.4k points · 11 hours ago JC Penny. Like, it's so massive and it sells the most mediocre everything for such insane prices.

22.

Text - DeathSpiral321 952 points · 13 hours ago Shitty printers. Our species can send a spacecraft billions of miles away to take clear pictures of Pluto, yet printing a one page document takes 40 minutes and5 pages of paper (the first 4 got jammed in the printer, of course).

23.

Text - GRizzMang 677 points · 11 hours ago Phone sex hotlines. How could they survive through the onslaught of free pornography that is the internet?

24.

Text - OpinionatedBat 146 points · 11 hours ago Mapquest. Still does not do real time.

25.

Text - Resolute002 365 points · 11 hours ago Lobbying. Like, fundamentally. What good can ever come of letting people pay to have guys explicitly working in their favor, explain to some senators some complex issue? It is pretty much a given that they will leave it details to the contrary of their goals. It's like asking a guy who owns a chain of paint stores that only carry the color green, what color you should paint your house.

Text - FrostyIVV 278 points · 11 hours ago I might sound like the biggest Zoomer ever (I'm 18 tho). But how the fuck is GameStop still here man. I've been to gamestop multiple times and it was great but it's 2020 with game pass on top of game pass. Get that 2 dollars back from 60 dollar game the fuck out of here

Text - Myballzwashott 144 points · 12 hours ago long john silvers suprememeep 22 points · 9 hours ago Dude the one time I went to a Long John Silvers the interior was literally falling apart like peeling paint, holes in walls, it was like the place was made out of cardboard. Also, we were the only non- employee people in there under the age of 60. How the hell.
