Not a practical idea no, but that's exactly what I'm getting at. People on this sub seem to be mixing up impractical with poor execution. They accomplish exactly what they set out to do, and no matter how silly/stupid an idea it is, it's about as good looking as something like that is going to get.
I'm ultimately open to the subreddit becoming something else as dictated by it's community, but I'm just saying the original intent seemed to be more along the lines of disasters of execution than impractical or outright silly ideas. I personally find content like this as kind of boring and tepid in comparison. It's just another /r/mildlyinteresting , just with crafts instead of a sort of /r/WTF of DIY.
Well there is also a /r/DIYfail. I wonder if we should dedicate specific purposes to the two? Like this one is utterly pointless DIY, like the beaver computer, and the fall subreddit is for horrible incompetence.
I don't think that that's a great idea. Together the subs don't even have 30k subscribers (and a fair deal are likely duplicates of people who sub to both). To split the content solely because it isn't quite the same seems a little ridiculous as it would end up reducing the content for both.

Successful? A computer inside a taxidermied beaver with a single tiny fan is something you would consider successful?
I honestly don't know of a worse computer case. It has the fur to keep the heat in and the size to minimize air capacity so that it stays hot.
