When it comes to fixing stuff, there’s the proper way, and then there’s the “whatever-it-takes” way. You know, the kind that involves duct tape, random spare parts, and a healthy dose of “it ain’t dumb if it works.” That’s the beauty of Redneck Engineering—where creativity, resourcefulness, and sheer determination collide in the most wonderfully chaotic ways.
Enter r/redneckengineering, a subreddit that shines a spotlight on the boldest DIY solutions you’ve ever seen. It’s where zip ties become structural support, beer cans get second lives, and lawnmowers turn into all-terrain vehicles. From laugh-out-loud ridiculous to genuinely genius, these fixes may not follow the rulebook, but they definitely get the job done.
