A lot of you are about to find out if your car has one of these: Patent for an Anti-siphoning device for fuel tanks
A patent illustration. There are four parts laid out like they go inside of each other, but they're separated here for visibility. At the bottom what appears to be a cone shaped spring or tubing. That apparently goes over a metal (?) cylinder. Above that a plate shaped metal piece that looks like it's used to lock the spring deal over the cylinder. Another cylinder jacket above that. Probably to prevent a hose going down the line but letting liquid through.

It's actually a pretty intuitive design if you stop and think about it

Are you in a safe mental state to learn that Eddie Van Halen patented the most dudes rock patent ever?
A rock and roll patent illustration. A 80's hair metal guy plays guitar. There's an apparatus on the bottom of the guitar that supports holding the guitar up like a flat shelf on the guy's waist so that he can really shred the little solos or do lines of coke. Whatever an 80's rocker needed.

Broke: Meta glasses Bespoke:
Patent Illustration for a device called "enhanced digital eyewear architecture". It's a pair of glasses with very small circle lenses. The rims and arms are covered in many small circles labeled things like "facial sensors/cameras" and "extendable user mic" and "brainwave/EEG sensors". There are 24 such features but no clear explanation of how they would fit in the small frames or what they were even intended to do. These glasses, if constructed, would probably weigh 6 pounds.

This Lunar New Year go ahead and treat yourself to putting the cart before the horse
A patent illustration showing a cart with a man in it. It looks like he also has a mounted machine gun in the cart with him. A horse is attached to a harness that pushes the cart from behind somehow?

It's possible that Trump could figure out a way to manipulate the US patent office into doing his bribes and if that got news coverage people would get mad at this account. And that would be pretty funny

How many inventors does it take to invent a better way to change a lightbulb? Just one, and a whole lot of ritalin
A patent illustration for a device that is meant to change lightbulbs. It is impossible to figure out how it is intended to work. It's a small rectangular base with a lot of random parts built up like a model city. There are over 200 parts with numbered labels with no names. You can see a lightbulb upside down in a glass jar in the middle. It's not immediately obvious how the machine would put it into a socket.
