Chindōgu »

bestofwikipedia:

Chindo-gu is the Japanese art of inventing ingenious everyday gadgets  that, on the face of it, seem like an ideal solution to a particular problem. However, chindo-gu has a distinctive feature: anyone actually attempting to use one of these inventions would find that it causes so many new problems, or such significant social embarrassment, that effectively it has no utility whatsoever. (via jsomers)

It’s like a metaphor.
