Serious post in a joke thread. I've honestly purchased 8 different fidget spinners. From the cheap aluminum Chinese ripoffs to the Vorso Flat Top (yes, a 37 year old adult who hasn't yet been hospitalized for debilitating mental illness spent $200 on a ball bearing with a bit of copper around it. i'm sorry). As someone diagnosed with severe anxiety causing depression, these idiotic spinning things provide a strange, slight tactile distraction away from whatever is currently stressing me out. I don't know why. The Vorso spinner is absolutely ludicrously priced and anyone who argues against that fact is as stupid as I was for purchasing one. I still love it but that pricing is cringe-worthy. My easy favorite is the the Spinetic Y but even THAT is a crazy $37. Checking this silly fad out was an experiment in attempting to ease my daily anxiety. The amount invested in the name of exploration was unnecessary and excessive. In hindsight, maybe just buy a 3/4" ball bearing for $0.15 and fiddle with it if you need a tactile distraction to play with if you feel the need. Learn from my mistakes.

Do they make one that's a swastika? Who wants to start a kickstarter and buy a new car?

I hope it helps her out, and she doesn't get confused why her new remote control won't turn on her tee-vee. I'm gonna tell her it's the new big fad, and now she can be one of the kewl grandmas.

A coworker who sits next to me brought one of these in on Friday and I was like "uhhhhh what the gently caress is that" Then I got to hear the joyful noise of it spinning all day.

Why aren't there any fidget spinners that look like bicycle wheels? They could have rubber tires, changeable spokes, and rims so you could swap parts with friends, and customize your wheels.

I bought one from a brown guy at a mall kiosk for fifteen bucks. Its kind of soothing. I can't see spending more than 40 on one, and thats just if you want like copper or brass or something.

These things are flooding various stores and shops in my area, but my guess is that they'll be stuck with tons of unsold merch here in about another few weeks (school ending, so kids can't take them to school to show off) and then when school restarts you're going to see schools outright banning them unless you get your kid a note from their doctor that they have a condition that requires them to spin it around to maintain focus in class.

Someone will challenge that ban because it promotes bullying rewards those who fidget spin.

Replacing all the rocks in gaza with soft foam rocks might be the most realistic solution to the israel/palestininan conflict.

This is TYOOL 2017 goons could make a killing on a 'manji' 'eastern good luck' 'totally not a swastika' fidget spinner. The alt-right is an autistic phenomenon first and foremost.
