"Wow, new expensive paper cup with a leaking top, awkward to use, great idea. Some designs from roast series seem to be better."

"I applaud that they were trying to think outside the box and do something new... but this looks just bad"

"I think that the first step for the designers should be to learn what the MVP actually is."

"What's next, hidden emergency exits?"

"I don't know, I like the look of the microphones from the first picture more than the new one. This is another thing that looks like something in between Alexa, a lamp and a gaming mouse, and you need to get an app to run it, every second behance project"

"This telekinetic obstacle course seems to be a fun toy"

"I never know whether I read "the weekly design roast" or "currently crowdfunding" topics, the designs in both series are usually on similar level. And to be honest most of ms Alexa topics show even worse products.I assume that many of these things are university projects, where people play with forms and try to create something different, some are just made for fun. The first thing with the ladders is just a silly decoration and I think that it will serve its purpose well, not everything needs to be super efficient, serious, made of natural eco materials, etc. These things have flows, sure, but to laugh at them is a little bit cringy.The only funny thing is that today you are laughing at this peculiar way of storing magazines, when just a few months ago you were totally amazed by the way how Lagerfeld keeps his books, which is basically the same."

"Han Solo roaster is pretty nice - quite pricey but still cheaper than apple's monitor stand and more useful. And the low sink - cool for kids"

"That is really cool idea"

"I like the way these banana leaf wrappings look, fancy. But like many fancy things it seems to be also very impractical and expensive."

"Are these tools described to use just for the woodworking? Because I use quite a few of them on a daily basis and they work pretty well, for example various rotary tools and detail sanders. Perfect for finishing 3d prints, working on polyurethane models, abs tools, loads of different stuff"

"Oh boy, you definitely had some bad experiences with the engineers, you like to mention them a lot. Stereotypical designer will make a nice button that doesn't work, stereotypical engineer will make an ugly, poor button that works. I think that to be truly good at making stuff you should be both, the engineer and the designer."
