People Who Are Living In The Year 3000
Let's face it, none of us are Albert Einsteins over here inventing ways to understand the big ol' universe but we're trying. You put the cereal in before the milk so the milk doesn't splash over the bowl and onto the counter—that's genius and you deserve to be recognized for that.
Here are some innovators who are dreaming big and living in the year 3000. Some of these pics make it look like the future is great and something to look forward to. Others, however... make it look apocalyptic.
We Respect This Graphic Designer Who Took A Shortcut
![music poster for music](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T102805.299-92596.jpg)
This graphic designer woke up this morning tired of it all and this is highly relatable. Instead of ignoring all his work emails and watching cat videos in bed for six hours like I do, this genius took a shortcut. I love you Dave xx.
This Man Is Unicycling On A Treadmill And I Feel Very Uncomfortable About It
![uni trianing uni](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T104842.347-74611.jpg)
This genius is out here working on his fitness, his balance, and his speed in the gym. If you saw him getting his pump on in the swole-palace you wouldn't be laughing. But here it's safe to laugh.
This Is How You Get Lemon Water On Tap
![lemon lemon wedge](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T113433.275-92201.jpg)
This is exactly how I imagine private schools are and nobody can tell me otherwise. This student just upgraded his whole institution and they should thank him. Public schools don't have funding so all they get is a high five in the hallway.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Converse
![bad shoes bad](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T104249.459-73522.jpg)
The shoe-genius who invented these clearly has been watching some 90s cartoons recently and we can't be more impressed. They mixed their passion for turtle ninja cartoons with a passion for fashion and we very much love it and want to run from it.
I Could Never Live Where It's This Cold Because I Like Public Crying Too Much
![eye lashes frozen eyelashes](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T113210.938-51604.jpg)
This is a beauty hack for people who don't want to feel comfortable and who don't really want eyelashes later. All you need is some inner turmoil, a couple tears because of it, and some strong eyelids.
The Netflix And Chillers Who Are Testing Fate
![net netflix n chill](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T114147.718-61578.jpg)
We can all be desperate sometimes. Sometimes you really want to impress that special someone so you go all-out with your movie night setup. Most people buy a nice speaker, this person decided to get inspired by Final Destination.
The New Mom Who Got A Pat On The Back And A Crisp High-Five
![baby baby tweet](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T103613.323-97995.jpg)
Some good alternatives for this would be "happy pregnancy finale," "welcome back to being singular," or "nice job on the pushing, you should apply to work the carts in the parking lot at Walmart." Always followed by a high-five of course.
This Floor Designer Is Playing Koi
![floor koi on floor](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T104951.998-37267.jpg)
This restaurant designer thought that "sanitary" and "restaurant" just didn't sit right, so they created this monster. I have a fear of soggy feet and fish defecating under my toenails so I would never eat here.
He Wanted A Grill So His Buddy Got Out The Metallic Spray Paint
![paint spray paint](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T105951.586-33910.jpg)
This man read all about how expensive it is these days to drip major ice so he went to the hardware store and got some bling on the cheap. The best part about this is he never has to worry about taking it off and washing it at night.
The Statue Cleaner Who's Really Treating Abe To A Good Q-Tip
![qtip qtip on statue](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T105136.116-44007.jpg)
If this photo doesn't make you uncomfortable just imagine a small man on your shoulder cleaning out your ear with a Q-tip. Sure, this is a genius way to do it, but it's terrifying and I don't want this to be the future.
You've Heard Of Duck Shoes, Now Get Ready For Shoes For Ducks
![shoes ducks shoes](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T104507.513-72985.jpg)
Ducks are out here learning and growing from seeing us stunt around and honestly? It's iconic. This duck saw so many dads rocking the socks and sandals at the park that its owner thought to make him some adorable shoes so he wouldn't feel left out. Duck yeah baby.
The Cat Who's Playing The Cat And Mouse Game In The Future
![cat cat hunt](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T103228.802-51362.jpg)
This cat had enough of the runaround that this mouse was giving her so she entered into the future to get the job done. All she needs are little red eyes and she's the terminator.
For Those Who Want Their Garlic Dip Hot And From A Keurig
![garlic k cup garlic](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T110502.571-97819.jpg)
Everything about this is terrifying. It's hot and ready while also being watery, garlic, and the worst. However, this may inspire the garlic dip lover in your life so I highly recommend you hide this photo from them at all costs before they change their morning coffee routine.
The Mature Student Who Knows How To Deal With His Problems
![slutions solutions to probs](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T103410.361-26340.jpg)
I'm actually curious as to what the alternative solutions would be to this. This kid is Terminator-level coming back and they're doing it correctly. I'm looking forward to seeing this tough genius in the oval office one day.
This Person Made Their Milk Udderly Horrifying
![milk cows milk](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T105238.784-74509.jpg)
This is taking organic to a new plane and I'm severely uncomfortable by it. If this raw and au natural lover really wanted to get that much closer to a cow then they should go milk one. Just a suggestion.
Pro Tip: When The Chicken's Gone, Use The Bucket For A Fountain Drink Refill
![soda soda fountain](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T113650.582-99782.jpg)
This man is my hero. He's out here making bold moves to get what he wants and he's got the ambition that I admire. He's standing there risking it all and potentially getting kicked out of KFC to get that delicious Coke and yeah, that's worthy of respect.
These People Figured Out A Way To Find Shade Even In A Convertible
![hats banana leaves](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T105459.142-63220.jpg)
These super-geniuses were tired of always getting sunburnt while driving around in their convertible so they had to get creative. Luckily they had just driven by some trees on the way to their garden party and could snag a couple of organic hats.
The Crane Game Stocker Who Figured If There's A Will There's A Way
![game crane bulbasaur in game](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T105657.035-85982.jpg)
This man doesn't give a hoot about his job and we totally get that. His laziness is going to inspire some genius kid to create a way to figure out how to free this giant bulbasaur and that's the kind of motivation we need.
The Goodest Boy Sous Chef
![spoon dog with spoon](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T105859.519-68949.jpg)
Turns out chefs are out here being innovators like the rest of us. Even though you might not be surprised, this good boy is here to meet and then go past your expectations of what a dog can accomplish in the kitchen. Mad respect for this doggo genius.
This Person Who Levelled Up Their Guard Dog To Kick-Boxing Guard Dog
![gloves dog gloves](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T104630.342-35342.jpg)
Dress for the job you want, not for the job you have. This guard dog showed initiative on the home-security front and his owners rewarded him for it with some new gear. Meet Rocky BalGoodBoya.
The Part-Time Woodworker Who Got Into Tattoo Removal
![saw saw grind](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T110153.188-16614.jpg)
This entrepreneur discovered a cheap and DIY way to get those pesky unwanted tattoos removed and we're in awe. Even though right now he's only doing arm and leg tats, he just bought a cheese grater and is working on expanding the business to torsos.
The Spectator Who Wanted The Players To Always Know How He Was Feeling
![dunk slam dunk](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T110340.184-54214.jpg)
There is no better way to show your displeasure than what this super fan is doing here. Why make a sign with words when you can just speak the universal language of a disappointed frown?
The Person Who Made Their Aloe Vera Plant A Cannibal Because They Heard About The Health Benefits
![vera aloe vera](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T110948.031-78686.jpg)
This person is either a monster or a scientist trying to create the strongest aloe vera possible. By feeding their plant the aloe-water it's like they're giving it the blood of the weaker plants that didn't make it. We'll only know in time if this makes the plant stronger... or unstable.
The Man With Buns Of Steel Who's Innovating And Taking Two Trips
![bag shoppin bag](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T111219.688-58670.jpg)
You know what, I'm fine with not having that one bag brought in. Sir, you're smart but kindly just deposit all that food in the trash because I've lost my appetite.
No Mirror? Apply Your Lipstick In A Riot Cop's Shiny Barrier
![fun girl in riot](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T111629.759-73625.jpg)
This is a beauty hack for the protester on the go and we're so glad that there are innovators out here thinking of this niche market. While you're worrying about your planet, government, or social system, don't also worry about carrying around a pocket mirror to reapply your lipstick.
Capri Sun For Marinara Lovers
![red caprisun marinara](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T111804.025-60871.jpg)
This is an adult Capri Sun for all of us who just can't handle sweet things anymore. If your toes curl at the thought of like 20 grams of added sugar, no worries, science is on your side and is offering you a straw for your marinara packet.
He Discovered Unlimited Power
![fbi FBI power bar](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T112756.477-81833.jpg)
I'm blown away by this super genius's commitment to the renewable resource cause. They're thinking about the planet, sustainability, and gas prices and have presented us with a solution that totally makes sense. All hail, the power loop.
Great Idea, Too Bad They Put It On Stairs
![text walk run text](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T113859.431-94113.jpg)
This university created "texting lanes" for people who want to walk in the hallway and text. Honestly, not a bad idea and probably would speed up traffic. Too bad they didn't stop there and decided to suggest people run down the stairs. Who else smells a lawsuit coming?
The Hero Who Risked It For Us
![cops cops sign](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T114453.527-79473.jpg)
This absolute icon is risking it all to spread the good word that the 12, 5-0, fuzz, popo, and cops are ahead on the road ready to bust some people. This is the kind of civil servant we need to see more of.
The Student Who Brought His Suspicions To the Class
![presentiation present spy](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Untitled-design-2019-10-08T103036.329-27056.jpg)
If you think your classmate is a Russian spy why not make that the topic of your next presentation? If they are, then they've been compromised and can't do anything. But if you're actually the spy then nobody will suspect you now. What an absolute genius.
Can We Get Jaws To Hair And Makeup?
![shark week Shark week is actually the safest time to go to the beach because all the sharks are busy being on tv](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screen-Shot-2020-09-09-at-11.46.14-AM-83461.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Afraid to swim at the beach because the waters are known to contain sharks? Well, all you need to do is wait for that magical week on Discovery Channel to go for a dip.
No Shoes? No Problem
![carpet bicycle with pieces of carpet on pedals](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screen-Shot-2020-09-09-at-11.25.37-AM-32829.jpg?width=800&height=1062)
Have you ever wondered if there was a way that you could ride a bike without shoes? I haven't, but this kid was determined to make it happen with the help of some carpet samples.
The New And Improved Longboard
![skateboard man with door with wheels on it like a skateboard](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screen-Shot-2020-09-09-at-11.18.36-AM-66287.jpg?width=800&height=950)
Why pay a lot of money for a regular longboard when you can just make one yourself after a quick trip to Home Depot or, even better, the removal of your bedroom door.
Until Then, Just Keep Your Clothes On The Floor In A Pile
![IKEA Only a FOOL would buy IKEA furniture. Instead I just download the instructions and keep emailing their service department to say that I am missing a piece until they ship me all the pieces over a six month period](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screen-Shot-2020-09-09-at-11.29.06-AM-30458.jpg?width=800&height=579)
Using this method, it would only take you 5-10 years to fully furnish a small apartment for the low cost of potential criminal charges and back pain from not having a bed!
They Know How To Recruit For A Job
![graphic designer billboard is screenshot of microsoft paint written poorly](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screen-Shot-2020-09-09-at-11.37.59-AM-81733.jpg?width=800&height=533)
One of the hardest parts of recruiting for a job is getting word about the position out there for potential applicants to see. This place, however, knew exactly how to let people know they need a graphic designer.
The Key To Home Ownership For Millennials
![house](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screen-Shot-2020-09-09-at-11.31.38-AM-16984.jpg?width=800&height=780)
Every year, more news articles come out about how young people are living at home and aren't trying to get their own space. Well, they clearly need a lesson from this guy.
This Is Such An Effective Solution
![remote tv remote taped to wooden 2 x 4](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screen-Shot-2020-09-09-at-11.35.26-AM-66811.jpg?width=800&height=1039)
Tired of losing the television remote in the couch or around the room, this mom decided to tape it to a 2x4 so it would always be visible. It hasn't been misplaced since.
Have You Ever Heard Of Wealth Management?
![financial health not eating all day so that you can get drunk off 2 beers. It's called financial health look it up](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screen-Shot-2020-09-09-at-11.23.05-AM-81292.jpg?width=800&height=533)
In these difficult times, people are having to really work hard to save money and responsibly manage their finances. Who cares if this person's liver is getting drowned in the process?
It's A Work Of Art
![PAINTING renaissance style portrait of fat kid holding can of pringles and bag of chips](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screen-Shot-2020-09-09-at-11.16.55-AM-47126.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=73&left=0&zoom=1.06951871658)
While people in the modern era are fixated on the selfie, I imagine a future where we return to our past roots of instead spending hours posing while someone paints us with our most valuable possessions.
That's True Efficiency
![vegan tweet: being vegan has been so easy. I literally just stare at the sun and I'm full. Thanks photosynthesis](https://www.buzznet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Screen-Shot-2020-09-09-at-11.20.40-AM-24991.jpg?width=800&height=578)
Plants really are the blueprint and we've been stupid to ignore them. Maybe one day we'll finally get our act together and learn how to create energy by just sipping some water and getting some Vitamin D.
