OK guys, this smells like a challenge. Can anyone think of a tool which has been made extinct?

- simonsarris 16y agoThere are tons. Think of all the things that humankind used to assume worked and now consider completely silly, like divining rods, or some tools related to alchemy such as the aludel. Several awful medical devices from ancient times up to the middle ages are also gone. Many of these didn't evolve. They weren't refined. They were awful ideas and simply died. Of course divining rods and crystal balls and the like might still have the function of duping "tools"
- Semiapies 16y agoThanks to New Agers and such, devices like divining rods are still made and sold.
- rosser 16y agoAt least some of those creepy, Victorian anti-masturbation devices have to exist only on paper at this point.
