1. Hindenburg disaster

Early blimps (a small airship) used hydrogen instead of helium to set the airship up. But you know how worst this invention was, ****. Hydrogen is lighter than helium but it’s is the most flammable ingredient.

In the 19th century, the largest airship was ever built was called Hindenburg by Germany. The Hindenburg disaster is a never forgettable accident that occurred on May 6, 1937, in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States.

This airship killed 36 passengers (R.I.P) and crew members.

So that’s why this accident was named as Hindenburg disaster. Above is the video footage of the Hindenburg disaster.

2. DDT

Another one of the worst inventions in history. DDT stands for (Dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane). It’s a type of poison used in agriculture to kill insects.

In 1972 EPA announced a cancellation order for DDT due to Health and Environmental Effects. But in some countries, it’s still used to control mosquitoes that spread malaria.

It’s known to be very persistent in the environment. The cancellation order is based on its worst environmental effects to those potential human health risks to wildlife as well.

Clippy came into existence on the 21st of April, 2001. Born in Microsoft Office 97. Clippy is an automated assistant produced by Microsoft for their office productivity suite. Clippy’s main function is to provide assistance with word processing tasks through animated overlays.

But Clippy became an internet meme due to unpopularity and it is seen as an irritant. Clippy features have been rusticated and completely disappeared from Microsoft Office. Clippy was finally killed off in 2007.

4. Pop-up Ads

Pop-up ads are one of the most terrible types of online advertising that you can find. Pop Up ads just appear in front of your browser windows, no matter what you’re doing. Pop-up ads usually aren’t filtered by pop-up blockers.

It’s also the dumbest invention ever made by a genius. Imagine, you are searching for information, you visit a particular website, whenever you click on any clickable element or anywhere on the page, you get pop-up ads. This made your experience worst.
