The 'These 4 Useless Things' meme is a popular four-panel template that showcases three intentionally dysfunctional objects followed by a fourth, person-defined 'useless' thing. It often features 3D renders or photos of surreal items like a teapot that pours onto its own handle or a fork with no prongs. The humor stems from the juxtaposition of physical design failures with abstract concepts, people, or modern inconveniences that the creator finds equally pointless. Since its rise on social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter, it has become a staple for self-deprecating humor and venting frustration about specific software features, societal rules, or personal habits that feel entirely redundant.
