I got two for Christmas, even though I neither asked for nor wanted any. I showed them to my three cats. Gray cat doesn't really care about it at all. Orange cat enjoys knocking it off the table while it's spinning. Obese cat tried to bite it while it was spinning, got whacked in the face, and now wants nothing to do with it.

I remember they were originally created to help autistics, obsessive compulsives and other people with special needs to stim.

Then dumbass entitled brats made them a new fad and ruined it for them.

Because there were stories of teachers confiscating them or forbidding them from use in class, even though some people NEEDED them.

I used it but didn't really get what it was supposed to do for me.

My guess is that your computers don't respond and move fast enough for you to be able to expend your energy in a productive manner, therefore you have to release it with silly little toys such as the grip master.

Such a fucked up society we live in.


Is it? We can harvest this energy and use its powah!

Naw my work computer is a power horse. I just have it there when I have nothing else to do. I mean I use most of my energy to post on CE already so.

Fidget spinners are a sign of a declining society. There are people out there with excess energy to burn, but are not finding ways to use it, or are being prevented from using it, or have mental blocks from using it due to how they were raised.

It's a sign that we have eager people who internally have the desire to go out and do great things, but are not and therefore are expending their excess energy in the form of using things like fidget spinners.

It's sad, but real.


Or I have asperger's and it actually helps me
