10 Of The Dumbest World Records Ever Set
From the tallest stack of doughnuts to the most people simultaneously dressed as penguins, the Guinness World Records have seen some pretty bizarre attempts. While some records are impressive feats of human achievement, others are just downright dumb. Here are 10 of the dumbest world records ever set.
1. Most Underpants Worn at Once In 2010
a man from India set the record for the most underpants worn at once by putting on 252 pairs of underwear. While this feat might seem impressive, it’s hard to imagine why anyone would want to attempt it in the first place.
2. Longest Fingernail
The record for the longest fingernails ever belongs to Lee Redmond of the United States. Her nails measured a total of 8.65 meters (28 feet 4.5 inches) in 2008, but they were eventually broken in a car accident. While some might admire the dedication it takes to grow such long nails, it’s not exactly a practical achievement.
3. Most Watermelons Crushed With the Head in One Minute In 2013
a man from Pakistan set the record for the most watermelon crushed with the head in one minute by smashing 49 of them. While this record might be impressive in terms of physical endurance, it’s hard to see what purpose it serves.
4. Most Snails on the Face In 2009
a man from the UK set the record for the most snails on the face by balancing 43 of them for 10 seconds. While this record might be amusing to watch, it’s hard to see why anyone would want to try it.
5. Longest Time Spent Buried Alive In 1999
a man from the UK set the record for the longest time spent buried alive by staying underground for 170 days. While this record might be a test of human endurance, it’s hard to imagine why anyone would want to be buried alive for nearly six months.
6. Most Hot Dogs Eaten in One Minute
The record for the hottest dogs eaten in one minute belongs to Takeru Kobayashi of Japan, who consumed 12 of them in 2007. While this record might be impressive in terms of competitive eating, it’s hard to see why anyone would want to consume so many hot dogs in such a short amount of time.
7. Longest Time Spent in Direct Contact with Ice In 2010
a man from India set the record for the longest time spent in direct contact with ice by standing in a container filled with ice for 120 hours. While this record might be impressive in terms of physical endurance, it’s hard to see what practical purpose it serves.
8. Tallest Stack of Doughnuts
The record for the tallest stack of doughnuts belongs to a group of people from Australia, who stacked 1,508 doughnuts in 2015. While this record might be impressive in terms of teamwork, it’s hard to see why anyone would want to stack so many doughnuts in the first place.
9. Most People Simultaneously Dressed as Penguins In 2015
a group of people in the UK set the record for the most people simultaneously dressed as penguins by getting 373 people to don penguin costumes. While this record might be amusing to watch, it’s hard to see what purpose it serves.
10. Longest Time Balancing a Lawnmower on the Chin In 2012
a man from the UK set the record for the longest time balancing a lawnmower on the chin by keeping it in place for 3 minutes and 31 seconds.
