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!

(last updated: 10th October 2023 - Rewording some rules, minor updates to existing rules and introduction of Rule 7; no actual change in how the community works than it already does)


  1. This community is a part of the Lemmy.world instance. You must follow its Code of Conduct (https://mastodon.world/about).

  7. Absolutely no discussion regarding politics are allowed. There are plenty of other places to voice your opinions, but fights regarding your political opinion is the last thing needed in this community.
  8. Keep all discussions civil and lighthearted.
    • Do not promote harmful activities.
    • Don't be a bigot.

  9. The moderators retain the right to remove any post or comment and ban users/bots that do not necessarily violate these rules if deemed necessary.
  10. At last, use common sense. If you think you shouldn't say something to a person in real life, then don't say it here.

Lmao doesn’t line up. I can’t imagine how much trash is gonna get caught in the drawer. Why not just remove the whole drawer? Not to say that putting a hole in your granite countertop isn’t the dumbest fucking idea ever.

Plus there’s no way that paint will stay on the finished countertop, but maybe he’s hoping for that. I can just imagine trying to resell the house lol.

The whole video seems like intentional "rage bait", as literally everything is wrong or generally stupid.

TBH, kinda applies to vast majority of the DiWHY stuff.

Yeah everything, cutting directly on the countertop, the stupid hole, the crap paint that will come up with humidity much less cleaning. Just ragebait.
