I hope you guys enjoy watching (or reliving if you were there) three years worth of terrible designs! It's wild how long we've been doing this 🥲Appreciate you guys!
I've been here since just before the break, I binge watched everything while waiting for you to start posting again. I have a habit of collecting comfort video series by binging a good channel then downloading series I enjoy to just watch over and over and over. Thanks for posting this. Now I can get rid of my "joinen design" playlist & this video is downloading as I type. Now when I need to zone out and get something done, I'll just put this on 😀
3:05 The point of the toilet lid is to stop the particles raising out of the toilet as you flush it, not to hide your mess until the next person opens the lid and has to clean it up.
1:27:32 The issue is not that there IS a step, but that there is NOT one. The design on the floor made it look like another step, so people were trying to step down where there was no step. They got tripped up because they expected a step that wasn't there.
There is a neighbourhood near where I grew up where all the roads are named like "This Way" and "That Road". I couldn't imagine living there and having to give your friends directions pre-GPS. Absolute hell.
For a while I lived in the "pine maze". There was: pine rd, jack pine rd, sugar pine rd, pinecone drive, pine circle, cone circle, fir, evergreen, ceder pine, and pinewood. All within one damn neighborhood.
@@cherisola416Is this in Washington state?? Because I know a place like this lmao. Pine Rd NE, Pine Ct NE, Needle Ct NE, White Pine Dr, Sugar Pine Dr, NE Pinecone Dr, E Pine Dr, Pineneedle Dr NE, Pinecone Ct NE, NE Pinewood Dr, Jack Pine Dr, Bristlecone Dr. And then across the street (Pine Rd NE) theres just Pine Rd lmfaooo
@Frostfire1031 yup. That's the place. I kinda got some of the names wrong because it's been almost 20 years since I lived there, lol. Washington state has a lot of neighborhoods with themed names, but that pinewood community was the most repetitive rofl.
12:46 When I took AP Language and Composition my teacher was really lax on essay formatting so long as we didn't make our fonts too small to read, so big they took up a whole page, or too complicated to be readable (cursive, wingdings, etc.) That year, every major essay I submitted was in 10-point Comic Sans and he couldn't do anything about it.
1:58:53 I can tell you exactly what those "half floors" are on that elevator. It is that the elevator has doors on both sides and when you select the whole number you get the front doors when you select the half numbers you get the back doors. Normally it is indicated with an R for reverse like 1,2,2R,3,3R,4,5,6,6R, etc but sometimes places will use halves instead of "R" if all the back doors are to service areas where the front doors go to places customers go, if you use 2 and 2R a customer might accidently select 2R and end up in an area of the building you don't want them in where as if you use halves instead customers won't tend to press half floors.
R and half are two different concepts. R-floors are at the same level, just the other door. Half floors are actually between the floors on the other side.
The speed hump thing is for emergency vehicles. It's so that first responders don't have to slow down to get over them. We have them all over the town I live in but they look more like traditional concrete speed bumps with little depressions in them. And yes, people just drive down the center of the road to avoid slowing down lol
The only thing about the stupid Apple mouse emoji is that, the stupid Apple mouse emoji would never get sent to anyone. All that gets transmitted is the code for the emoji, so someone on a Samsung phone would see the Samsung emoji, no matter who sent it. Someone with a Microsoft phone (or PC) would only see the Microsoft version of the emoji. The only people who would ever see the Apple mouse emoji would be Apple users, who would actually deserve to see a bar of soap for a mouse.
Regular, super, and super plus are definitely sizes. Tampon sizes. The more cotton you have the more blood it can absorb, so a bigger tampon is for the heaviest flow, usually the first few days.
Hi joinen just wanted to send a small token as thanks for keeping me entertained especially whist having Covid. I especially appreciate that I can play your videos and drift off and do not need to worry about someone walking in to my room and hearing bad language or non family friendly talk. Not that I am a prude but certain tubers who I like are not family friendly. I hope that makes sense stupid Covid brain! Cheers and good luck from a fellow Aussie
Every year I’m confused about my radiators. It goes 1-3 and snowflake. While it feels wrong I do think the snowflake is meant for summertime so the radiators stay cool but I’m not sure 😅
Ye that was a silly bit. Common sense dictates if you want cold press the cold button. If you want hot press the hot button. Buddy was waaayyy overthinking his AC unit😂
@@nightsgrow6575in Germany the snowflake in the Radiator means that it'll keep the pipes just above freezing so your pipes don't burst during winter time. It's especially important to not completely turn it off, when you're leaving for vacation.
I think the mirror urinal was broken. There was one like this in a club I went to back in the day. I think there is supposed to be constantly flowing water sheeting down over the mirror. I looks very impressive with the waterfall effect
7:27 as someone who lives in apartment, street lights are the most annoying thing ever. it shines right through my window and we have those shitty plastic blinds that don't stop light really at all, and when I'm on the balcony having a puff I have to sit at a specific angle so my upstairs neighbor's balcony just BARELY covers the lamp so it doesn't go directly into my eyes.
I had those kit kat mugs, they were easter egg mugs, they came with an easter egg in the mug and a few 2 plank kit kat bars that fit perfectly in the bottom slot... but yes doing that would be very silly has the hot cup would indeed melt anybar in the slot.
1:02 - It must be a circular building! Maybe a converted lighthouse or something? I have occasionally wondered - how do people convert lighthouses to homes with rooms without creating deranging shapes?
1:19:57 Hi, im from Germany (where the Brand Jägermeister comes from) and they have two categories for bottles. The first one is "use it" and the second one is "show it". This guy got a bottle from the second categorie. He got a bottle that You are NOT meant to drink, but to put somewehre as decoration. (Sorry for the spelling mistakes)
2:56:25 Companies do this because at the top of the door are camera to track your eye movements and facial expressions for data collection. It’s super shady and weirdly invasive. Every time I walk by one of these, I make really stupid expressions and look everywhere so it fucks with the data
My favorite bad design I heard of irl was when they designed/built one of the buildings at my uni they made it so that the floor near the entrance of the psychology lecture hall was made of glass so you could see down to the cafeteria. But ofcourse that also meant you could see up as well and psychology students are a majority women and people could see up their skirts basically 😬. So I think instead of replacing the glass they did something to make it not transparent anymore and it looked weird but was a fun story to tell freshmen lol.
Oh there's a frosted glass floor in one section of the student center at my alma mater... hopefully they thought of that little issue before building it.
It must be so wild to be a contractor on some of these designs because I imagine you're generally not allowed to drastically change the design plan just because it makes more sense to you right? So then you're just doung stuff like installing a railing that doesn't go higher than the ditch that you're putting it in and you just have to do it like that
Glad we can all agree about the terrible design of that friggin Apple mouse! I had to use them in college as well and absolutely HATED them! They always felt disgusting from other people's grubby hands and sweat. I'd always give it a wipedown on my hoodie sleeve before and after using it. I loathed the Mac lab.
For the book cover design. They usually get a general tagline or the title of the book or the concept, but they don’t get the full book to read so the cover artist probably didn’t know.
The Derp statue gets a mention! No one liked it so it was cancelled indefinitely. Someone designed and sold some socks with derp, lex, lerp all over them to commemorate it. I wear them to Jags games.
I can't believe that no one has pointed out that all of those hotels with the clear showers- They are that design where when you enter the room and lock the door, or turn on the light the glass automatically becomes frosted and is no longer see-through. It's a pretty popular thing and it's used in lots and lots of high-end bathrooms and lots of high-end hotels. The fact that people keep posting these as design flaws as if they don't understand how they work is kind of mind-boggling.
I've seen some School Speed Limits signs that just say "During School Hours". I am pushing decades since I was last in school... I have no clue what regular school hours are for any given area. The worst part is different district can have different school hours... anyone just driving through from out of town is just screwed. Are we required to pull over and research the laws manually for every town we pass through any time we see such a sign? It's ridiculous.
Oh man, was not expecting to see the JAX "derp" in this compilation. I’m from Jacksonville and that was a proof of concept for what the city was thinking about building downtown. Someone in local government just really liked the Chicago bean and thought we needed a Jax derp I guess. Thankfully it doesn’t actually exist here. And yes, we abbreviate Jacksonville as Jax. No, I don’t know why.
1:47:34 "hey boss where do we put this extra couple million in funds? do we pay people more and upgrade the shopper experience?" "no...overengineer the drink coolers and make them useless..."
An old social studies teacher of mine once went on an online shopping spree for his family on Christmas, because thats what you do at school, and he bought a rainbow led light strip made to go around the bowl of the toilet so you dont miss it in the middle of the night
1:05:24 To be fair, here in Sweden all restaurants have their menues like that. At the very end there's the children's options followed by all the drinking options (including alcohol if they serve that). It's Apetizers -> Meals -> Kids meals -> Drinks -> Extras
33:33 Wow, finally, a bubble blowing solution that you can take with you, as opposed to the small cylindrical bubble wand cans that you have to bolt to the floor to get them to work! No seriously, have these people never seen standard bubble toys? They're ALREADY designed to be used on the go, but I guess they weren't easy enough to confuse with a juice pack for these sadists.
1:32:36 I don't think two hydrogen atoms bonded to four oxygen atoms and one uranium atom makes for a very healthy chemical to put in your body. That sounds like poison at best, and more likely something that will explode spontaneously just because it's a compound that shouldn't exist.
16:00 IT'S A BIRD! But it's sideways! Lmao this was so frustrating for me because I'm watching this while lying down on my side, so it was immediately obvious for me that it's a bird
I went to a unit on the Sunshine Coast for Schoolies, it had a glass wall shower. We assumed it was meant to be the honeymoon suite as my friend and I were late to book and ended up with the leftover rooms. I had to comment when the Gold Coast came up. You went the wrong direction, but absolutely correct QLD beach vibes!
Those terrible fonts are great for dyslexia. Coming from a graphic designer who is also dyslexic. Would I use those fonts in my design? Probably not. Did I use them when I was in college and taking notes? Yes.
1:28:17 the worst part about that video is that they kept tripping. One after another. Not one person observed the person ahead of them and corrected for it… but there was one guy trying to warn them, but people just ignored him.
No way... 3 years ago, I was looking for apartments in Munich, and that was a real ad. Since I'm not a good climber, I thought it wasn't for me. Seeing this a couple of years later on the internet is so random 😂😂😂
The disk is of “my neighbor Totoro” and it was a concept, but we’ll see if it becomes a reality. We love this movie and it is one of Studio Ghibli’s top movies.
Duuuude I was laughing my ass off, and then at 53:53 WHOA THAT'S MY COMPUTER TOWER! TBH I rarely ever use the CD ROM so it's not the hugest deal, but yeah, gotta unplug my SD card, memory stick and headphones.
Someone mentioned bad road names. I've got something even worse, a bad town name. For a short while I lived near a small Swedish village named "Bus".. yes, spelled in the exact same way as you spell "Bus" as in public transportation. I didn't have a car. Now try and ponder how hard.. if not impossible.. it is to have to google a bus for a town called bus.. "Bus to bus"? "Bus town bus"? "Bus public transport bus"? No search inputs found anything remotely useful in the first 20 pages at least of results.
The elevator could have been in (something like) a movie theater, there are quite often floors only the employees can go where the projectors are set up, etc. the code pad also makes it more likely that staff would have to use a code to unlock going to those floors and keeping the numbering the same as what is used for the public does make sense.
2:07:30 Wait, people don't go to Ikea for fun on weekends? (I might be biased, as I'm swedish... but... knowing those shortcuts makes a real difference! And, technically, there is a map, which is also a notepad, with a free pencil)
on the maze one I saw a great comic, it was a raven doing a maze and he just draws a straight line betwen A and B saying, "How is this supposed to be expert level."
OMG YOU SOLVED FOR ME A FREAKING MYSTERY ! It's been like a year, maybe more, that I was wondering what this weird named app was doing on my phone and I didn't want to delete it because I was scared it would mess it up. But all along it was the app to change the font ?
I'm sure people have answered this before but at 1:12:48 is probably to keep water in or out of the tub. I know my bathtub is like that, if you flip it up then the water stays in the tub instead of going down the drain.
Many years ago, kids messed with the buttons and we had to fix it to find our way to the floor we needed. It was a Math competition for middle schoolers. And yes they repeatedly did this and broke two elevators by pushing buttons repeatedly. The hotel had cameras so they were punished by their parents when they got home after the Police contacted them. Brainiacs are maniacs 😂
9:24 In our language, "noo" means forehead, so reading the right part after "Be Playful" at the left, made me laugh a bit because I suddenly looked at the monkey's forehead afterward 🤣
They actually leave that space in the speed bumps for emergency vehicles You can totally just drive down the middle of the street and go through it. unless there's other traffic usually nobody gives a shit but places that have a shit ton of speed bumps impeed the ability for emergency vehicles to get there in time so now they do this
28:35 Looks like it tried to eat a hornet. 😂 44:20 Oh, I think I know the purpose of a split speed bump like that. *_When installed correctly_* the spacing is such that ordinary cars have to slow down for the bump, but city buses' wheels fit in the gaps. 45:00 I can't help but wonder if the USB plug is also wired completely wrong, having AC mains voltage connected to it: At best, it would absolutely nothing. At worst, it sets your phone on fire and electrocutes you! 1:10:15 This is typical Chinese. While they have the same traffic lights as we do, they don't have the overall cultural notion of "green equals good, red equals bad". 1:15:40 lol, Mexico ate Greenland. 1:15:50 Oh my word, I actually had a hotel room a lot like this one, with my boss, when we went to a company Christmas party! Thankfully, the room was shaped such that one person _could_ go sit in an armchair way over in one corner to avoid having a line of sight on the other person doing their business. But still.... 1:21:05 And let's not forget that Tic Tac Toe mildly favours X, but if played properly, it always ends in a draw. Also, in what world does the X player manage to draw 6 Xs while the O player has only drawn four? 1:55:25 I think by "24/7" they meant to say "late-night". 1:56:01 Oh, this webcam reminds me of my electric toothbrush. It's a Philips Sonicare - totally reputable brand, right? Except that the battery/operation light is under opaque white plastic, so the only way you can ever see it is by turning the bathroom light off. 1:57:20 Make going to the bathroom a fun time - slide down the railing and see if you can land on the toilet... only to have to stand right up again to undo your pants. 1:58:20 Nah, in no way are those floor numbers necessary. My local convention center has some weird partial floors, and they just gave them their own numbers. So, like, say, floors 2, 4, and 7 are whole floors; and 3, 5 and 7 are basically just some walkways that overlook the atrium, with the occasional storage closet or washroom. 2:11:53 Something neat I've seen is LED strips embedded in the gate arms of a paid parking lot. So while the arm is closed it's lit up in red, and when it opens, it changes to green. 2:26:20 Oh I think it's possible to make that mistake accidentally with the right software. It's probably possible in some app or other to have text follow a spiral path. And so the designer set up the path, chose the font, pasted in the numbers, and then decided to change the font later but forgot to change the font of the shadows.
Neither the capital i nor the lowercase L are supposed to be taller. They are supposed to be the same size, full height. The lowercase L is supposed to have a small rightward curve at the bottom, and the capital i is supposed to have crossbars at the top and bottom.
I just got two of your videos in a row with autoplay on, I kept thinking like "this guy looks and sounds so familiar" and then I heard "No Moi!" and instantly it all came back to me lol so glad the algorithm finally got me here again (I lost my previous account a couple years ago and am too dumb to remember everyone I was subscribed too lol)
I saw this video on my homepage and thought it looked interesting so started watching. as soon as I heard that intro I was like "I USED TO WATCH THAT GUY????"
18:21 My guess is that originally the street names made sense and were in order, but over time they added more streets in between and decided this was a less confusing option (I personally think they should have named them stuff like 92½ street)
They could have picked Nova Scotia for the “LOVE” mug. Okay, it’s a province, but it would have worked. Or Liverpool ... By the way, did you see what’s next to UNA POLO GETI CALLY? MAG NIFI QUE The soapdispenser has been improved, it has higher studs now. How do I know? We‘ve got four of them at home.
1:18:34 this kind of reminds me of the hotel i work at... mostly in the way that the first floor numbering makes no sense. It goes 110, 112, 114, 116, 118, 120, 122, and 124. The other 3 floors go from 1-25 with the exception of rooms 204, 304, and 404. They just do not exist.
TYSM Joinen!! This compilation was the perfect length needed to build a lego birdy ^-^// It was very fun to rewatch these! Lotsa laughs 🤗 Have an amazing day! 💙🌈
Personally I think the "follow someone home" sign is genius. It catches your eyes, if your walking down the street you'd have to take a double take and read it all eventually. I actually think it may be one of the best designs in this video.
1:37:20 HOLY SHIT WHEN I WORKED AT GOODWILL I POSTED THAT OMFG. I T3UED TO THROW THEM AWAY AND I GOT A STRIKE ON MY RECORD AND I ALMOST GOT FIRED BECAUSE I WAS THROWING AWAY GOOD PRODUCT
Those parts with the series...(DareDevel, Ken Liu) There is a detective program where the main guy has OCD....They got 1 of the CD cases done differently. I dont remember what the show is, but Ive seen the picture.
I hope you guys enjoy watching (or reliving if you were there) three years worth of terrible designs! It's wild how long we've been doing this 🥲Appreciate you guys!
I wonder if Joinen is a follower of The Spiffing Brit
Thats 100k new people subscribed for each year hope you grow your such a great youtuber

It's not BEANRA, it's meant to be "Be an RA", it's for a college dorm. Apparently they forgot the spacing lol
Nah, it's the new version of She-Ra, clearly.

The one with all the little lights made me think of a sims builder who always does that in the sims house to make it brighter 😂
Or Minecraft torches everywhere 😅
LITERALLY MY FIRST THOUGHT
I thought about sims building when I saw the house with all the little windows that look so randomly placed from the outside 😂.
Same
It's only necessary in sims 4 cause the lighting is so bad.

Dylan: i went to a scam college

I've seen some School Speed Limits signs that just say "During School Hours". I am pushing decades since I was last in school... I have no clue what regular school hours are for any given area. The worst part is different district can have different school hours... anyone just driving through from out of town is just screwed. Are we required to pull over and research the laws manually for every town we pass through any time we see such a sign? It's ridiculous.
I didn't notice the video was 3 hours long and accidentally watched all of it in one go
Oh man, was not expecting to see the JAX "derp" in this compilation. I’m from Jacksonville and that was a proof of concept for what the city was thinking about building downtown. Someone in local government just really liked the Chicago bean and thought we needed a Jax derp I guess. Thankfully it doesn’t actually exist here. And yes, we abbreviate Jacksonville as Jax. No, I don’t know why.
1:35:00 on the mirror with a “P + S” symbol like that trope where you carve you and your lover’s initials onto a tree, but… on the piss mirror???
1:47:34 "hey boss where do we put this extra couple million in funds? do we pay people more and upgrade the shopper experience?" "no...overengineer the drink coolers and make them useless..."
Are we sure 54:42 is in fact a picture of a gas station and not a children's hospital?
An old social studies teacher of mine once went on an online shopping spree for his family on Christmas, because thats what you do at school, and he bought a rainbow led light strip made to go around the bowl of the toilet so you dont miss it in the middle of the night
shorping spree you mean
1:05:24 To be fair, here in Sweden all restaurants have their menues like that. At the very end there's the children's options followed by all the drinking options (including alcohol if they serve that). It's Apetizers -> Meals -> Kids meals -> Drinks -> Extras
33:33
Wow, finally, a bubble blowing solution that you can take with you, as opposed to the small cylindrical bubble wand cans that you have to bolt to the floor to get them to work!
No seriously, have these people never seen standard bubble toys? They're ALREADY designed to be used on the go, but I guess they weren't easy enough to confuse with a juice pack for these sadists.
1:32:36
I don't think two hydrogen atoms bonded to four oxygen atoms and one uranium atom makes for a very healthy chemical to put in your body. That sounds like poison at best, and more likely something that will explode spontaneously just because it's a compound that shouldn't exist.
oh we're getting BLESSED with the three hours long video
It’s a tragic moment when you tap the video and somehow you already made it through 2 and a half hours out of 3.
Relateable
16:00 IT'S A BIRD! But it's sideways! Lmao this was so frustrating for me because I'm watching this while lying down on my side, so it was immediately obvious for me that it's a bird
i don't see it
I went to a unit on the Sunshine Coast for Schoolies, it had a glass wall shower. We assumed it was meant to be the honeymoon suite as my friend and I were late to book and ended up with the leftover rooms. I had to comment when the Gold Coast came up. You went the wrong direction, but absolutely correct QLD beach vibes!
that sonic figure is a repainted Shadow figure lol. you can see the outline for his head stripes and that thing on his chest is Shadow's chest fluff
Those terrible fonts are great for dyslexia. Coming from a graphic designer who is also dyslexic. Would I use those fonts in my design? Probably not. Did I use them when I was in college and taking notes? Yes.
1:28:17 the worst part about that video is that they kept tripping. One after another. Not one person observed the person ahead of them and corrected for it… but there was one guy trying to warn them, but people just ignored him.
No way... 3 years ago, I was looking for apartments in Munich, and that was a real ad. Since I'm not a good climber, I thought it wasn't for me. Seeing this a couple of years later on the internet is so random 😂😂😂
The disk is of “my neighbor Totoro” and it was a concept, but we’ll see if it becomes a reality. We love this movie and it is one of Studio Ghibli’s top movies.
Duuuude I was laughing my ass off, and then at 53:53 WHOA THAT'S MY COMPUTER TOWER! TBH I rarely ever use the CD ROM so it's not the hugest deal, but yeah, gotta unplug my SD card, memory stick and headphones.
I mean that train tray design is just free entertainment to keep the customers occupied during long rides!
Someone mentioned bad road names. I've got something even worse, a bad town name. For a short while I lived near a small Swedish village named "Bus".. yes, spelled in the exact same way as you spell "Bus" as in public transportation. I didn't have a car. Now try and ponder how hard.. if not impossible.. it is to have to google a bus for a town called bus.. "Bus to bus"? "Bus town bus"? "Bus public transport bus"? No search inputs found anything remotely useful in the first 20 pages at least of results.
I love that "we cut kids" sign ngl. There's no way that was by accident.
The elevator could have been in (something like) a movie theater, there are quite often floors only the employees can go where the projectors are set up, etc. the code pad also makes it more likely that staff would have to use a code to unlock going to those floors and keeping the numbering the same as what is used for the public does make sense.
2:07:30 Wait, people don't go to Ikea for fun on weekends? (I might be biased, as I'm swedish... but... knowing those shortcuts makes a real difference! And, technically, there is a map, which is also a notepad, with a free pencil)
on the maze one I saw a great comic, it was a raven doing a maze and he just draws a straight line betwen A and B saying, "How is this supposed to be expert level."
1:12:47 The switch controls the drain. Flip switch up, tub fills with water. Flip switch down, water goes down drain.
OMG YOU SOLVED FOR ME A FREAKING MYSTERY ! It's been like a year, maybe more, that I was wondering what this weird named app was doing on my phone and I didn't want to delete it because I was scared it would mess it up. But all along it was the app to change the font ?
the green carpet bathroom looks cool (its the nature aesthetic), but looks like hell to maintain
The pocket one is to get them to pay extra to unlock the pocket feature.
I just like how Australians can fit 9 syllables into the word “Joe.”
I'm sure people have answered this before but at 1:12:48 is probably to keep water in or out of the tub. I know my bathtub is like that, if you flip it up then the water stays in the tub instead of going down the drain.
36:38 the baby got turned into a blob fish when it’s dragged to the surface 🤣🤣🤣
YO I USED TO WATCH YOU and now I’ve found you again!!! This is so exciting!!
The baby even disapproves the package design it been put on 😂
1:05:30 those salt and pepper shakers, it looks like white pepper in there lmao
20:00 and this is why we need to stop putting touch screens on literally everything
Many years ago, kids messed with the buttons and we had to fix it to find our way to the floor we needed. It was a Math competition for middle schoolers. And yes they repeatedly did this and broke two elevators by pushing buttons repeatedly. The hotel had cameras so they were punished by their parents when they got home after the Police contacted them. Brainiacs are maniacs 😂
As a someone who is part Native American/indigenous this design is absolutely ridiculous 1:37:26
9:24
In our language, "noo" means forehead, so reading the right part after "Be Playful" at the left, made me laugh a bit because I suddenly looked at the monkey's forehead afterward 🤣
They actually leave that space in the speed bumps for emergency vehicles You can totally just drive down the middle of the street and go through it. unless there's other traffic usually nobody gives a shit but places that have a shit ton of speed bumps impeed the ability for emergency vehicles to get there in time so now they do this
28:35 Looks like it tried to eat a hornet. 😂
44:20 Oh, I think I know the purpose of a split speed bump like that. *_When installed correctly_* the spacing is such that ordinary cars have to slow down for the bump, but city buses' wheels fit in the gaps.
45:00 I can't help but wonder if the USB plug is also wired completely wrong, having AC mains voltage connected to it: At best, it would absolutely nothing. At worst, it sets your phone on fire and electrocutes you!
1:10:15 This is typical Chinese. While they have the same traffic lights as we do, they don't have the overall cultural notion of "green equals good, red equals bad".
1:15:40 lol, Mexico ate Greenland.
1:15:50 Oh my word, I actually had a hotel room a lot like this one, with my boss, when we went to a company Christmas party! Thankfully, the room was shaped such that one person _could_ go sit in an armchair way over in one corner to avoid having a line of sight on the other person doing their business. But still....
1:21:05 And let's not forget that Tic Tac Toe mildly favours X, but if played properly, it always ends in a draw. Also, in what world does the X player manage to draw 6 Xs while the O player has only drawn four?
1:55:25 I think by "24/7" they meant to say "late-night".
1:56:01 Oh, this webcam reminds me of my electric toothbrush. It's a Philips Sonicare - totally reputable brand, right? Except that the battery/operation light is under opaque white plastic, so the only way you can ever see it is by turning the bathroom light off.
1:57:20 Make going to the bathroom a fun time - slide down the railing and see if you can land on the toilet... only to have to stand right up again to undo your pants.
1:58:20 Nah, in no way are those floor numbers necessary. My local convention center has some weird partial floors, and they just gave them their own numbers. So, like, say, floors 2, 4, and 7 are whole floors; and 3, 5 and 7 are basically just some walkways that overlook the atrium, with the occasional storage closet or washroom.
2:11:53 Something neat I've seen is LED strips embedded in the gate arms of a paid parking lot. So while the arm is closed it's lit up in red, and when it opens, it changes to green.
2:26:20 Oh I think it's possible to make that mistake accidentally with the right software. It's probably possible in some app or other to have text follow a spiral path. And so the designer set up the path, chose the font, pasted in the numbers, and then decided to change the font later but forgot to change the font of the shadows.
13:21 okayy i wasnt prepared to get roasted by joinen today 😃😃 i love that font!!!
0:48 yep that’s very annoying my moms company also has that the first letter is uppercase i but it looks like an l
Neither the capital i nor the lowercase L are supposed to be taller. They are supposed to be the same size, full height. The lowercase L is supposed to have a small rightward curve at the bottom, and the capital i is supposed to have crossbars at the top and bottom.
I just got two of your videos in a row with autoplay on, I kept thinking like "this guy looks and sounds so familiar" and then I heard "No Moi!" and instantly it all came back to me lol so glad the algorithm finally got me here again (I lost my previous account a couple years ago and am too dumb to remember everyone I was subscribed too lol)
1:19:08 there’s one, specific angle you can pour every bit out of that bottle…you have to get it to the exact degree, however.
Bad design? Or deliberate…for what reason, friend? -Under desk, interestingly placed, floor cam?
I saw this video on my homepage and thought it looked interesting so started watching. as soon as I heard that intro I was like "I USED TO WATCH THAT GUY????"
18:21 My guess is that originally the street names made sense and were in order, but over time they added more streets in between and decided this was a less confusing option (I personally think they should have named them stuff like 92½ street)
I feel like 'wholesome' is one of the few words where you actually CAN replace the first letter with a picture and it wouldn't matter.
They could have picked Nova Scotia for the “LOVE” mug. Okay, it’s a province, but it would have worked.
Or Liverpool ...
By the way, did you see what’s next to UNA POLO GETI CALLY?

The soapdispenser has been improved, it has higher studs now. How do I know? We‘ve got four of them at home.
1:18:34 this kind of reminds me of the hotel i work at... mostly in the way that the first floor numbering makes no sense. It goes 110, 112, 114, 116, 118, 120, 122, and 124. The other 3 floors go from 1-25 with the exception of rooms 204, 304, and 404. They just do not exist.
three hours of Joinen, I am now happy. I have been subscribed since 2021 now I think? Love your channel and I hope you keep making videos
TYSM Joinen!! This compilation was the perfect length needed to build a lego birdy ^-^//
It was very fun to rewatch these! Lotsa laughs 🤗
Have an amazing day! 💙🌈
1:15:02 - I've lived in Maryland my whole life, and I never knew I could milk two people for $5! 🤣
The crossword cup would make me so unproductive that all my time and energy would be spent trying to solve the puzzle... in vain
Personally I think the "follow someone home" sign is genius. It catches your eyes, if your walking down the street you'd have to take a double take and read it all eventually. I actually think it may be one of the best designs in this video.
1:37:20 HOLY SHIT WHEN I WORKED AT GOODWILL I POSTED THAT OMFG. I T3UED TO THROW THEM AWAY AND I GOT A STRIKE ON MY RECORD AND I ALMOST GOT FIRED BECAUSE I WAS THROWING AWAY GOOD PRODUCT
The park bench is designed to deter homeless folks from sleeping on it. 'Hostile design'.
Those parts with the series...(DareDevel, Ken Liu) There is a detective program where the main guy has OCD....They got 1 of the CD cases done differently. I dont remember what the show is, but Ive seen the picture.
The last time the earth’s landmasses were combined to form a supercontinent, no hominids existed.
7:55 An apple product in a bad designs video is like a free space in bingo.
