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

[Trilby]

I think I'm officially old now, because I swear these things just came out of nowhere. I first heard of them about ten days ago, and they're all over the place. Including the grocery store, for some reason. Also, there's now people on my FB feed bitching about these appropriating autism culture, which just baffles me.

Jeez, back in the ancient days of yore we'd just fuck around with mechanical pencils or make swords out of interlocking marker caps. Get off my lawn!

And of course these things are no different from any sort of fad that came and went (marbles, tops, yo-yo's, pogs, etc.). I'm glad to be as old as I am.

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

These are too stupid even for stoners. Despite the casual drug use they are still generally smarter and have more of a life than your average autist or middle schooler.

To be fair I have never seen them at a real headshop, only corner stores and gas stations that also sell shitty Chinese made glass pipes and spice packets

hence why it irritated me. I'm not going to name the store because that would give my location away with a quick google search, but its a well respected shop in my area. i can always count on them for quality, and while its expensive, its worth it. fidget spinners are worth dog shit.


edit: how is that a powerlevel lmao

Because poweleveling is not only supplying identifiable info about your life/personalblogging but also mentioning aspects of yourself that make you a lolcow, and acting like a smoke store is your ~safe space~ is a kinda lolcow-ish thing. Also the "I decided to buy some COOL DRUG PARAPHENALIA!!1!" comes off a lil 3edgy5me.

I saw a "100 layers of fidget spinners" video in my youtube sidebar - the fact that these are combining with dead video trends depresses me.I can just see the upcoming titles:

CALLING MY FIDGET SPINNER (IT ANSWERED OMG!!!)
ASKING ROCKSTAR IF FIDGET SPINNERS WILL BE IN GTA 6
CAN YOU STOP THE TRAIN IN GTA 5 WITH A $1000 FIDGET SPINNER?

Before reading the caption I thought that was a pregnancy test.

The world needs a pregnancy test that can detect autism in fetuses.

The world needs a pregnancy test that can detect autism in fetuses.

If that happens, I think all our qualms about Roe versus Wade will go away.

Finally, a pen you can click!

Wait.

It would be a sad day for lolcow watchers, though.

I'm never sure if I'm facinated that this guy does the shit he does, or horrified that he's allowed to use power tools.

I'd say summer school. Those poor kids too dumb to pass during the school year got to have something to pass the time in those sweltering classrooms.
