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!

This has to be a parody of terrible DIY. As a clumsy person who sometimes works with power tools and a paramedic, this video fucking had me rooted to the spot waiting for her to saw into the car or her foot or something. It's so awful, I can only conclude that this was done by someone who actually knows what they're doing making fun of people who don't.

Right!? Watching her use the saw practically between her legs while sitting in a car gave me the heebies as well. Also wear saftey glasses when you cut anything with powertools!

100%. The amount she shows her feet is not an accident imo

It just kept getting worse

Hey, playing with PVC pipe is the adult version of legos (really k'nex). it's fun to make shit out of.

But why the hell she making every cut and hole using her feet and body as the stabilizing force? Do these people understand that the great law of building shit necessitates your first project be a workbench to make shit on??

Foot fetish video in disguise.

The fucking jigsaw between the legs was legit alarming

Anybody else disappointed it wasn't a periscope?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, it did start out to look something like that... and then all hell broke loose.
