They can put down the fidget spinners if they want to do drugs enough.

Stop for me, it's the claw!



My son is pure in the eyes of god thanks to his fidget spinner - now he has no time to handle sultry women not deserving of his love. In fact, women now stay very far away from him, a clear reflection of their own character.

We got my sons up to about 20,000 rpms using the air compressor. I really thought it was going to explode.

Back when I worked in a machine shop the CNC operators would get the little piece rest bearings going with compressed air and turn them loose. One took off across the floor and hit the sheet metal wall hard enough to dent it.

I blew up a 3d printed spinner with 3 ball bearings instead of flat bearings on the outside with an air gun. One bearing wound up 10-15 feet away from where I was. Thankfully i didnt break anything.

An apostrophe isn't going to fix it. The s needs to be done away with entirely since rpm is already sufficient.

Rpms stands for revolutions per meter-second :rolleyes: (A meter-second is the length a meter is in a second, usually around 99.999... cm)

I was saying if the guy meant revolutions per minute but then pluralized it for some reason. I work with too many dipshits that enter rpms or rpmz for what is really rpm.

It's funny because titanium is useful because of its low density. And lol at getting mad at rpms - rpm isn't a real unit - do you get mad at ending a sentence with a preposition too?

Yeah I was focusing more on the fact that he was using a compressor to spin his sons instead of his son's or sons' fidget spinner(s).

Sounds like fun though.

The game is called danger nut. You put a nut on a screwdriver and spin it up as fast as you can then launch it at the ground. Everyone watch out for the danger nut!

That feeling when he opens
the door for you
When Trump asked for the nuclear football, his assistance handed him a small plastic cube covered in buttons. He immediately became anxious with the responsibility that was placed in his hands. He placed the cube in his desk drawer carefully, as not to activate any of the buttons. Later when he came back to retrieve it, after a particularly nasty tweet, he discovered it was missing. He went into full panic mode and began tossing his office. After he left his office he found his young son playing with the cube. Right before his boy could press any of the buttons he snatched the cube from his son's hands and began berating him. The boy stood in front of his father sobbing, and the president felt an immense shame. He gave the cube back to the boy and warned him he must never press any of the buttons or else their could be "yuge" repercussions. Trump then entered his office, began cleaning it up, relaxed as he knew the button was in better hands.
