At first, I was prolly pissed at the idea of fidget spinners. Then I was mearly apathetic to them. Now after taking my new job, and making money off them, I love them. Everyone line up for your blue tooth enabled fidget spinner. I have no idea how that work, or if they even designed to ever work, and I don't have to, but I know some idiot will buy them.

Oh it's simple, you know the LEDs that you can put on your bike or car wheels that flash in sync with the spinning to make images or patterns? You put that and bluetooth on a spinner ideally that can also detect its speed and have an app to put pictures on it

There is now a bearing shortage in China because of these things. I'm in the toy industry and our factory is having trouble securing bearings for our products without paying a significant markup.

Have the Bluetooth be used to relay back data so you could compute statistics for it like max rpm and average rpm and maybe create some graphs. Basically a goldmine imo

I picked up a little wheel-shaped fidget spinner a few weeks ago from aliexpress. It was kinda boring but I carried it around for like a day. Then I was hanging out with a friend who busted out his metal yoyo and started doing sweet tricks and I just felt outclassed with this stupid little thing that just spins and doesn't even do tricks. So I picked up a yoyo, which is way cooler.

So, I got a fidget spinner from my boss today. He asked me if I wanted to be a child, and I responded yes in the goofiest voice I could muster. How are these thing suppose to help you concentrate. I can barely stop playing with it. Unfortunately it's not a blue tooth, but it does light up.
