Meanwhile on the movers and shakers top lists in the toys and games section of amazon.....how appropriate
 
I noticed this thread and I'm not gonna wade through 17 pages of 'tism... could someone please explain to me...

1) Why is there a following for these things which are sold at my local gas station, and
2) How is this any different than the whole POGs craze from about 20-ish years ago (damn, I feel old).

All of a sudden I'm seeing these fucking things everywhere!! I'm hard at work on a "pocket pool" concept, though to rake in the incel buxx.

Me too, I walked into my sister's house yesterday to see both my niece and nephew spinning these things. Made me lawl.

C'mon, if anybody would be entertained by these it'd be stoners high off their asses.

After I remembered seeing someone using one during the dialogue sections of a HL2 speed run I found a site that sells speed cubes (basically Rubik's cubes but fancier so they can be used competitively) and the fidget spinners/cubes have invaded that site too. I can kind of get the cubes being on there since it's a site that sells primarily cube shaped products and parts of the ~community~ that I found do come off as slighly :autism:, but I don't think that competitive fidget spinning/cubing could ever really be a thing so it still confuses me in a way.

The thought that a day which could have been spent under the sky, doing work, learning a trade, finding a wife, or even catching up on sleep was spent instead getting high immediately after waking up and spinning one of these for 10 hours in a daze on a couch is one of the more depressing ones I've had this year.
