30. The Desk Chair Toilet Hybrid

Designed as a multitasker’s dream—or nightmare—the desk chair toilet hybrid allowed users to “do their business” while doing business. A prototype posted online gained surprisingly earnest feedback and interest from crowdfunders. While not fully mass-produced, the fact that it raised money was strange enough.

It was marketed to gamers, remote workers, and the legendarily lazy. Jokes aside, it raised real questions about productivity obsession and personal boundaries. Whether it was satire, performance art, or an actual invention gone too far—it got funded. And that’s exactly what earned it a place on this list.
