We humans have invented loads of things throughout our history. Some inventions are absolutely amazing and we cannot imagine our lives without them. That includes medicine, technology, transportation and many more things.
However, not all the things we invented are that good; some are even devastating.
Redditor NPT1506 asked internet users: "What is the worst human invention ever made?" and many chimed in to answer. From bombs to ads, people prove that lots of things we came up with are really not that great. What do you think is the worst invention? Share your thoughts in the comments down below!

That little “press to open” tab on Kraft Mac n cheese boxes. That has been an effective way of opening those boxes exactly zero times.

This will be a hot take, but hear me out- cars.
They kill 40,000 people in the US every year,
They are the reason most cities here are unwalkable, which is a huge factor leading to obesity and heart disease (so add many more thousands to the death toll indirectly),
They are the least efficient, least safe, most expensive way for people to commute,
They chew through fossil fuels and other valuable resources in droves,
They raise the price of engaging with society by thousands of dollars between the initial cost, fuel costs and repair costs,
And they turn otherwise reasonable people into raging, belligerent a******s.
