We all have tons of stuff and stuff tends to break. So, what are you going to do when it happens?

Are you going to take it to the repair shop and probably pay more for repairs than the item is actually worth? Or will you take up arms?

Well, metaphorically speaking. Duct tape and whatever you have lying around the house will do just fine….

The most important thing is to never give up. Remember – there is a problem for every solution.

Or was it the other way around? When we look at the photos from the r/RedneckEngineering subreddit, we get easily confused…

This group is dedicated to the wildest and craziest solutions to everyday problems people encounter. Some of them are hilarious, some are pure genius, and some create even more problems.

But one thing is certain- they are incredibly interesting.
