what's up with all these fidget spinners
![]() I don't know about you guys but it's like they're suddenly everywhere on the internet? Do you want one? Do I want one? What is their purpose? Tell me how to feel about these new toys |
yes I've seen these. what are they even
|
i want one so bad rn
|
I guess they're just the next big craze and for once I actually strongly dislike it
|
I remember seeing posts about Fidget Cubes going around the internet, and suddenly Fidget Spinners started trending. Not sure why, but I attribute their recent rise of popularity due to the Fidget Cube (they've been around since the 90s) bringing attention to stress-relieving toys.
Fun fact, a lot of Walmarts have been selling over 1,000 spinners per day. They used to be an online exclusive but we've reacted and started getting them in the stores and we can't keep them in stock. I don't personally care for them, but the ones that light up with different colors are pretty neat and relaxing. I don't find any benefit to the normal ones. |
Ladies and gentlemen: the world's laziest shuriken.

My friend has a shuriken fidget spinner like this, and they told me it was really fun so I caved and bought one for myself. They look entertaining enough. |
They're for autistic people and people with ADHD who stim.
So it'd be cool if you didn't call them useless. |

My brother had a few and he gave me one. I actually find myself using it more than I thought, especially when I'm just sitting around. I love it tbh.

they help people who have adhd and autism and people who need them, and it's a bit upsetting that they're the new fad now that everyone's using for fun even if they don't need them. the same thing happened with the fidget cubes but thankfully thats dying down now. i don't have a fidget spinner as i prefer the fidget cubes personally.

I honestly don't get this new craze. I played with one for like 2 minutes, spun it a couple times and was immediately bored with it. My nephew has one and his lights up when it spins. I'll say that it looks pretty cool lighting up while spinning but aside from that i don't get it. I know they're supposedly for ADHD kids or whatever.
But it's only a craze and it will die out soon like those rubber bands and sliming did. |

Like I said, they're not for abled people, so they don't get the purpose. In my opinion you shouldn't talk down something if you don't know its true purpose. |

ya okay but seeing those spinners at school everywhere is going to make me Lose my mind i am trying to focus but everyone has the spinners and i just want to do my classwork please. the majority of people i see using them do not have adhd and its just bothersome at this point.

Besides, people are using them for pointless amusement (somehow). So I don't think there's anything wrong with treating this the same as any other strange fad. Honestly, I don't see any reason to get worked up over something so trivial. |
All I know about these is that I saw one article regarding these the other day (week? something like that), and now I see mention of them everywhere - to the point where suddenly even a local mart's sign claims they're selling them. It's not even a big store. I didn't even know they existed before last week, now I can't turn around without seeing them being talked about.
I'm still feeling pretty neutral about them, though. I don't want one (I'd want a cube if anything, that looks like something that actually would occupy me), I don't care if anybody else has one - although I haven't actually run into anybody who does have one, so. |
It's just another fad that's going to die within 4-6 months I can already see it.
|
I've yet to see one in real life. Do we have proof that they're not just some meme myth the internet created?
