I was really confused about why people were getting mad about what appeared to be spare parts for skateboards. I guess if you hate these things that much then be glad that nobody will remember these things in six months
 
I wanna attach these on the top of a hat and wear it around letting the wind spin the spinner. It would be the ultimate headpiece.

When I was a kiddo (might 3have been a regional trend, I dunno) it was two gummy balls on a string, which were even more pointless because you couldn't even do tricks with them.

Joseph Joestar's weapon of choice is way cooler than a fidget spinner will ever be.

CRAKKA BORREY!!
 
Pogs.

These things remind me of spergy kids in the mid-90s and their goddamn pogs.

I think the only reason I didn't see it before is because pogs are so forgotten no one even bothers to make fun of them anymore.

Yeah, but these gas stations ones will spin for 30 seconds while a high end one can spin for over 5 minutes. There are also ones made out of titanium and other precious metals, ones with tritium inserts etc.

The only things that should have a tritium insert is a gunsight and occasionally a watch. Bicycle tools not so much

:autism:

But really, they started in the EDC community where people drop $500 on pocketknives all the time. They're a piece of usable art for the most part - at least the ones made by machinists were.

Now you have kids using air compressors to spin their chinese shit at 10k RPMs and maim people:

I agree, still need to pick up a trit front post for a Troy sight.
 
This is the first time I've heard of these things. Like with other fidget labeled toys I've seen I don't fucking get it. Why not just fiddle with whatever you have in reach, like a pencil, or paper clip? Or put a pen in your pocket when you leave the house if you really feel like you need to fidget with something in the store. You'll save a few (or fifty or more) dollars that way.

How long before tumblr latches onto it to announce how speshul they are everywhere?

Did the fidget-cube already die? That thing looks "mint". praise kek

The fidget cube was fucked - they showed the design off months before they were ready to ship for the Kickstarter, and China had clones out months before the real thing was available. To make it even worse the real thing was shittly made and the clones were far superior. But fuck not even I am autistic enough for one of those.
 
These fucking things are everywhere. I have a coworker who is basically a slave to Internet trends, and he started playing with one constantly about a month ago. The other day, I was getting gas, and there were handmade signs on the gas pump advertising that they were for sale inside. A girl I hang out with sometimes teaches 4th grade, and she apparently took up a dozen in the past week.

I've been reading through the subreddit every few days; at first, I assumed that it was a joke of some kind. After all of my years here, I should never underestimate the power of autism.
 
Wow, considering these things are supposed to help with stress and anxiety the people obsessed with them still have no chill.

I wonder how long it'll be until rainbow-colored tard helmets become the new, hot fashion trend.
 
The first time I saw these things was last week and it was at a kids party. The DJ was giving them out as prizes for doing the funky chicken or something. Now I see these things everywhere online.

And people pay for these little toys that kids get for free?? Get a stress ball.
