感谢发明家，让我们的生活如此便利，但是并不是每一项发明都值得庆祝，比如下面的发明。

Creative types often dream of coming up with the next must-have gadget that will earn them a fortune.

爱创造的人总是梦想着发明出能够让自己大赚一笔的必备神器。

But innovation isn't always something to be celebrated, if these ridiculous inventions are anything to go by.

但是发明并不总是值得庆祝，如果以下这些令人哭笑不得的发明也算发明的话。

People have been sharing examples of the most preposterous devices online, from a machine that pets your dog so you can save yourself the trouble to shoes with ready-painted toenails for when you're feeling lazy.

人们在网上分享了最荒谬的发明，从爱抚狗狗的机器到让你偷懒的“涂好指甲油”的鞋子。

Others have tried to revolutionise trusty kitchen gadgets such as the pizza cutter with very dubious results, while someone invented a fan that attaches to your chopsticks or cutlery to cool down food that's too hot.

其他人还试图彻底改变可靠的厨房用具，比如效果可疑的披萨切割刀，以及固定在筷子或刀叉上的扇子，用来吹凉太烫的食物。

Fashion isn't safe either with the invention of a tape measure belt that shows how trim or otherwise your waistline is and 'underpants' for your hands.
