10. The Anti-Masturbation Alarm System
Nothing screams “innovative” like Victorian-era morality tech. One invention strapped a metal cage over teenage boys at night. If the device detected any “suspicious movements,” it rang a loud bell. It wasn’t just embarrassing—it alerted the entire household.
Parents loved it. Kids loathed it. Some models even included spikes. This terrifying tech didn’t stop anything except sleep. It stands today as a deeply weird relic of how far people once went to control the most natural of behaviors—with maximum shame and minimum sense.
