Diseased The Fidget Spinner Community - "It's Not A Trend, It's A Way Of Life."

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.

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:

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?

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.

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.
