Welcome to /c/DiWHY!


DiWHY (pronounced D-I-Why) is a community to share DIY (do-it-yourself) projects that leave you questioning the meaning of purpose and practicality. Have you ever seen or attempted a DIY project that seemed like a good idea at first glance, only to realize it was a total disaster later? Share those moments here!

Don't get me started on the jescalator

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

The moving jidewalk is terrible

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

Someone's bragging now, but at some point they're gonna catch a toe in one of those pockets and never mention this again.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

I'm a bit impressed. It's a quality job. It's just that the design/idea was poor. Better off with unfinished stairs IMO.

[–] CCF_100@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I mean, that's kind of the point of this whole community lol... DiWHY would you do this?

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm the kind of guy who speaks out the obvious.

Helps immensely with whatever.

Because these stairs will last longer if you use jeans instead of boring cheap carpet

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

I thought that was water damage at first before I read the title lol

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

These would go great with the jouch.

[–] Four_lights77@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This makes me so nauseous.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, i think i would never take those stairs, even if they would lead to heaven.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There's a lady who's sure

All that glitters is gold

And she's climbing the stairway to denim...

Grooossss. Great execution, I thought this was an atbge at first

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Are there prisoners in the basement? That’s the vibe I get from this

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I wonder at what level of dirtiness it set in that there’s not really an easy way to clean or repair it?

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

You could just patch it up with more jeans to repair it. Could clean it with carpet cleaner.

[–] Mamertine@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

So, how are you cleaning you carpeted stairs?

I knew with a guy who was a professional carpet cleaner. He equated carpet with jeans you can never fully wash.

Carpet is gross when you think about all the stuff in it you'll never get out of it.

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago

It's to cover the blood stains.

[–] fleabomber@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Asses everywhere.

[–] BrandoGil@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Honey, are you coming down to the DENim tonight?
