Codename: Jackass Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Then it becomes another trinket gathering dust in a corner somewhere. Is this where we're headed as a society or am I just jelly I can't enjoy things like the cool 13-year-olds?
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Meh I wouldn't spend more than a quarter on one even if I was the type to jump on new trends. I honestly think anyone over the age of 12 that's still mentioning them at this point needs to be tarred and feathered.
Codename: Jackass Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 They'll be looked upon the same way as pogs, slap bracelets and Tech Deck.
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 As a skater tech decks will always have a place in my heart. <3
Codename: Jackass Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 Back in 4th grade you weren't cool if you didn't have a Tech Deck. Regardless of whether or not you could skate. Sometimes in middle school the skater kids would show out and try to ride one of those big Tech Decks made for your hands, it was always funny.
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I've probably done it before. Personally even though the Braille youtubers have made a thing out've trying to use anything is a skateboard, I've never really wasted time trying to skate anything that wasnt made for it..
Codename: Jackass Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 It was highly likely that you busted your ass riding a Tech Deck.
Mini_ghost420 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 you're supposed to hot glue razor blades to them. increase the challenge

fuggnificent Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 My daughter just got hers yesterday. She completely lost it over the thing. I personally expected it to do more.
Bouvre Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I'm surprised there's hype at all, apart from "Cool, now I can have this thing to help me focus."
Kudasai Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Those sell like hotcakes at work. I don't get it but then again I don't understands most trends anyway

Is this where we're headed as a society or am I just jelly I can't enjoy things like the cool 13-year-olds? Fidget Spinners were designed for people with ADHD and Autism to help them focus, they aren't toys, (well they kind of are but not in the general "we thought kids would think this was fun" sense), there's a reason you don't like them
Codename: Jackass Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 I don't believe for a second they were designed for kids with ADHD, it's just a selling point.
Lacks_Sympathy Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 I actually really like it. Whenever I'm in a meeting or teleconferencing, I use it to help me get through the boring parts and just kind of concentrate better in general (or distract me if it is a meeting I really don't want to be in). It's kind of a stress reliever too (at least for me) because for whatever reason if I'm listening to someone and using the spinner at the same time it helps me stay calmer and more focused on whatever they are saying. I'm not sure about the utility of it as a home product but I've definitely found it useful at work. Next I'm buying this just to see how useful it is. Fidget Cube
Codename: Jackass Posted June 1, 2017 Author Posted June 1, 2017 Maybe I am just yelling at clouds. I'm willing to admit thatI'm wrong.
