40 Over-The-Top Creations That Will Leave You Confused But Impressed

There’s a fine line between genius and madness, and the subreddit r/ATBGE is proof that some people walk that line with confidence—and absolutely no shame. Imagine a gold-plated toilet that looks like it belongs to a medieval king, a bedazzled car that could blind you on a sunny day, or a cake that’s so well-made yet so horrifyingly ugly that you don’t know whether to eat it or run. That’s the kind of brilliance we’re celebrating today.

In this glorious collection, we’ve gathered 40 creations that are technically impressive but aesthetically… questionable. These are the kind of things that make you pause and ask, Was this really necessary? But hey, beauty is subjective, and who are we to judge someone’s dream of a neon pink fur-covered couch? So sit back, prepare your eyes, and get ready for a rollercoaster of design decisions you’ll either love, hate, or both at the same time.

#1. Cursed Chainmail Mankini. Fashion? Debatable. Have this horrible creation of mine that I both do and don’t regret making. I spent actual hours of my life on this for shits and giggles. It’s about as comfortable as you’d imagine without clothes to protect your bits
