It's not stupid if it works.
That's one of these reddit phrases i'll never understand. Things can work and be very stupid.
This is something tradesmen have said for a very long time. I think the original meaning has been lost online.
"It's not stupid if it works" is basically a tacit admission that something stupid is happening, we all agree that it's stupid, and we also kind of all know that there is a better way, but for some reason we're not doing that.
Usually it feels like the stupid thing we're about to do is the best option available to us.
