I asked my friend who is a teacher if this poo poo was real (I mean what do you loving do with it once you spin it a couple times), all it did was cause five minutes of rage at these drat kids and their ball bearing distractions from their coursework

I bought my son one yesterday. He got it to spin on his nose for 20 seconds. Pretty cool.

Or? Or, the thing that the neurodivergent kid needs has suddenly become fun and cool, and by extension the kid with the need for a fidget is cool, less scary, and the typically developing children are less afraid/more accepting of the kid who can suddenly show off all their cool spinner tricks.

I don't know what the gently caress this thing is but I do like stupid pointless crap so might buy one if I ever see it in a shop.

Be very careful everyone. A fidget spinner that is spun up at half speed had 200x as much force as a fully loaded Amtrak train.

lol when did this become a thing and why? It looks like the kind of thing that would be subject to a grade school fad, like pogs were back in the day.

I just discovered some fidget spinners have a button that you can push down on to make it spin, which is much cooler than just the free spinning ones, but still pointless. For some reason though, I can't help to think about pumping this button to make one spin as fast as I can.

I wish I had mine because mine were loving awesome. I'd win 90% of the time because I had a rubber bigfoot slammer, which let me take the pogs I wanted, and also had a tube of lower tier pogs that I would trade for better pogs.

My only real problem with these fidget toys are they remind me of a character in a book I read. He stole a bullet from his step-dad and would carry it in his pocket and rub it when ever he got anxious. At first he would fantasize about fighting against terrorist who would take over the school, but by the end of the book he was fantasizing about shooting up the school himself. Recently, I discovered my grandmother has a tick that's causing her her to rip out her hair. Maybe I'll buy her a fidget cube to keep her hands busy, since I don't want her to hurt herself with a spinner.
