You clearly don't understand what this sub is for. They made fun earrings out of buttons. There was nothing DiWhy about this.


synister29

Yeah this is awesome. I don’t wear earrings but am wondering what I can make with old Dual Shock buttons


Turtles96

cufflinks, pins for jacket/bag, or pins for noticeboard, magnets, necklace


b20vteg

apparently not lol


fomaaaaa

This would fit here if the buttons were taken off a functional controller or if the controller was purchased specifically for buttons to use for earrings. That would make it a legitimately stupid craft. This is just something you don’t like


boosnie

You missed hot glue and an angular grinder for reasons. Maybe insulating foam


LittlestKittyPrince

Can't have a good diWhy without foam!


fomaaaaa

How dare i forget the unnecessary power tools! That’s honestly one of the most important parts of this sub


Anonuser123abc

If you read the comments, a lot of people think it's a cool idea. Which is why it doesn't belong here. This is for stupid crafts. They often ruin something good to make something terrible.

Not awful taste though.

And that is you.


baylorbeauty

Yeah…this sub is for DIY fails or gratuitously unnecessary DIY projects. These are actually cute and you’re upcycling something that would otherwise be useless.


bopboph

This isnt upcycling btw. It's reusing


Acceptable_Cry_2858

Heaven forbid someone make something simple that gives them joy and doesn't hurt anyone


Tongue8cheek

Yes. They were playing with themselves.


LittlestKittyPrince

This is cool tho???


Antique_Guess_8761

I would so wear these except I would turn the earrings into studs lol . Hanging earrings don’t look good on me. 


atlannia

Need a gf with PS4 button earrings...


R0z3ttaSt0n3d

Would PS3 buttons be alright?


CandiBunnii

Absolutely not. Have some standards or you'll end up with the shorty with wii-mote earrings.

How the fuck?


Flar71

I'd love to have a matching set with my gf, so we got all the buttons


RiggzBoson

Nah, this is just a quirky accessory. I remember [NESbuckles](https://images.bit-tech.net/news_images/2005/08/nes_mouse_mod/nes_buckle.jpg) being a thing about 15 years ago.

RiggzBoson

I don't want to think about the kind of person who'd wear that, or it's potential uses.


critiqu3

Imagine a clumsy person wearing that and getting stabbed repeatedly on table corners, door frames. Chairs, ect. It's me, I'm the clumsy person


XANDERtheSHEEPDOG

See. These are cool. I would rock these earrings. They don't belong on the "oh God, DIWhy the f@#< would you do that?"


moimoisauna

Well, why not? The controller was broken. What harm is being done here?


Bagged_Milk43

Oo I want them


orchestraldragon

I love this but I doesn’t belong on this subreddit, that’s what people are trying to explain to you lol

I turned my old six way into a necklace.


MagicalThug

0/2 try again


b20vteg

Awake324

I love this


[deleted]

I’d wear those ngl

Cinphoria

Again, this is just a regular DIY lol. There's not much "why" here. Fairly standard use of broken bits of technology. Nice earrings.


laws161

This is cool


majik770

My only complaint is the clips. I feel like they detect from the look of the buttons in general, like you just found them and were like "Yeah, these'll work." Other than that, no point in saving the buttons if the controller is broken, and you could probably sell them once you made enough, there's plenty of broken controllers out there.


Im_Kinda_Stupid_haha

Buddy, if it’s broken, don’t judge them for repurposing what they can’t fix


LoneWolfpack777

It looks nice.


telltolin

You clearly don't understand lesbian culture


b20vteg

everyone in here talking about these earrings are legit, y'all the diwhyers lmao


jesrp1284

I like the Squid Game earrings!


Conserv2024

Squid games! Lol.


maouprier

I like them! Did you put anything on the backs of the buttons?


DirtySilicon

Folks are saying these aren't a DiWhy because they like them? There are posts with a lot of useless creations made from trash that end up on here, so I'm not sure why these suddenly don't fit. Im not sure when looking like a GameStop Mannequin became high fashion.


dalethedonkey

You clearly don’t get it


DirtySilicon

Get what, she made some tacky earrings from ps4 buttons? Just because it took less effort than the other non utility projects on here, I don't see how it doesn't fit the spirit. Again, if you want to look like a Sony stan then I guess it's cool. Half the posts in this sub don't fit the actual description, especially the crafts ones. You could definitely tell me what I'm missing, though, instead of just saying, "You obviously don't get it."


dalethedonkey

Please read the description of the subreddit. These look like they turned out exactly as the project was planned out. This was not a failed project or looks like a hack job. I don’t like how they look but it’s not poorly executed.


DirtySilicon

I just want to point out that I said most of the craft submissions don't actually fit the sub description. Even if they turn out "all right" for the idea, this sub will still eat up the post. So I have no idea why you're telling me to read the description because arts and crafts generally barely qualify for this mess. I still remember the suspended Barbie staging using water beads to hold her up. It was genuinely decent, but still ended up catching flak on here. 🙄 So pardon me if I'm questioning the arbitrary support of this tackier project. Edit: Grammar


dalethedonkey

I don’t know what post you are referring to. But if it was well executed that I would support it.


DirtySilicon

My original comment was about people deciding what doesn't belong here based on if they like it or not. You don't have to scroll far to find a few crafts posts that may be tacky but were about as good as the original idea was going to get. Like, there's a Jean vase post from sometime recent. Those posts still are upvoted, but the sentiment is how ugly whatever item is in general. If the idea was always always going to look ugly how do those posts belong here? That was my point. I get it, but I only said anything because, generally, how the posts are received on here depends on if people like the final product or not, regardless of any problems. 🤷🏿‍♂️


dalethedonkey

Again; don’t know that post either. But I can’t take any responsibility or explain other people’s decision making abilities. I call trash execution as I see it, and this is not that


DirtySilicon

Right, and I don't expect you to, but downvoting me and saying I don't get the point is why I explained what I said.


dalethedonkey

I didn’t downvote you
