Have you ever had an idea so brilliant that you couldn't believe it did not already exist in the world? If so, you're in good company with the people on this list. Their ideas are so staggeringly genius that some of them may have actually circled back around to being absolutely ridiculous. But you know what? That's just how genius works sometimes. There are countless examples of people throughout history whose ideas were so ahead of their time, yet they were considered complete fools.
The people on this list may very well be living in the year 3019, and we would probably do well to emulate them. Most of them, anyway. Some of these are honestly taking things a little too far in my opinion. Or maybe I'm just some kind of Luddite.
Get ready to have your mind blown. Or to roll your eyes. One of the two, definitely.
This one hit pretty close to home.
For me, The Great British Bakeoff fits perfectly into this category. I often have it on in the background just because I find it so soothing and lovely. Sometimes I even work to the soundtrack!Something tells me this only works on some people.

Save your voice calling for your kids. Just open a bag of chips and they'll materialize out of nowhere.— ThisOneSaysBoo (@ThisOneSaysBoo)1489502912.0
The very definition of an evil genius.
This person bought some spray that smells very, very bad. It's meant to be used as a prank, but they obviously had better plans for it.Here's the rest of that review:
Voila! Clean house! And all you need is to deal with a horrible smell for a few hours!This is more evil than genius.

This is my favorite thing:
All cats should come with googly eyes pre-installed on their tails. Come on, evolution. Don't let me down.But...why?
Does this actually help? If you do this, let me know in the comments. I can't understand it, but I'm guessing that's just because my mind is not advanced enough to handle it.Sneaky.
Just make sure you're standing near the back of the group and not at the front.Level up.

On the one hand, congrats on the art. On the other hand...what are you going to eat now? I guess you're a starving artist.OK but this one I hate:
