If you need toys to keep your broken brain from flipping out, then you really shouldn't make it a point of pride for yourself if you get mad because Chad the neurotypical is playing with a fidget spinner too

Fuckin sluts going for the vapid bros with their plain fidget spinners. If they'd give me a chance, they'd realize my Sonic the Hedgehog fidget spinners are better.

I had "adhd" because my classes were mind numbingly boring and they taught to the lowest common denominator, coincidentally when I was offered a chance to take college classes instead of highschool ones my diagnosis disappeared. I have a feeling a lot of the kids who have too much energy in class are simply at the point where they understood the concept being discussed the first time and now have 50 minutes to burn while the teacher repeats themselves 100 times. I could see playing with a spinner thingy back then I guess, instead I mostly just fidgeted with my pencils.

My 11 year old cousin and all his friends play Minecraft, have these fidget spinners, dab, and another dumb fad: wear Under Armour everything with shorts and high knee socks with Under Armour flip flops to school every day. They all are poo poo, like all kids. YOUTHS!

While in school, I always wondered if I had ADD/ADHD or whatever, but in reality I simply wasn't interested in this poo poo and I've got a pretty wonderful amount of "gently caress You" anti-authority in me. Somehow I hold a decent job.

What happened to putting the tip of your pencil through the tiny hole on your ruler and pretending it was a helicopter?

When I got bored in school I just tended to nod off, but then I guess I'm from a time before ADHD.

How do these things keep anyone's attention for more than a couple of minutes? The only thing I can think of that might be interesting to a school kid is seeing if it hurts more when you start the thing spinning before lobbing it at someone's head.

On Around The Horn today Pablo Torre is complaining about the kids these days and their fidget spinners Back in my day we didn't need these, just learn to spin a pen! He probably reads this forum since he chose now to be the time to rant about it

So, who wants to create a fidget spinner/e-cig vape pen with me? That idea could make a poo poo ton of money.

if you do bite your fingernails make sure not to eat them afterwards they can poke you on the inside and cause bad infections

Aside from impulse purchases at gas stations has anyone in this thread bought a ball bearing spinner? There's got to more then the weird "new yoyo" craze to this.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:when the gently caress did you grow up. like the only things that happened in the years I was a kid were tamagotchis, beanie babies, Magic cards, and pogs, I don't remember an era of auto maintenance or campfire building or whatever coming before or since Yeah pogs, slap bracelets, koosh balls. Magic cards and tamagotchis were around there or a little after. All those things have use. A fidget spinner does not.
