Fidget Spinners

I don't. Because I'm not some fucking simp that pretends to have ADHD to follow some lame trend.

This

Also apparently it was like two 17 year olds that reengineered fidget spinners into what they are now and they just restocked Wal-Mart with them for 400k
 
Its funny how all of my friends hate on them, but as soon as they see one, they ask to play with it... every single day...
 
i must say they're kind of fun to fuck around with, still can't spin it with the same hand i hold it with though...

now that i think of it, all my friends who have them are absolutely brain dead which i guess says something
 
Fidget spinners can be sourced for cheap ($2.5) in bulk from china. Kids in my town will gladly pay ($10+). Very easy to turn a profit. I hate the damn things, but I'm considering doing a bulk order to pay for some new planks.
 
When I first saw these they were like hand crafted exotic metals and small production runs. Now all the ones I see are shitty mass produced plastic from china.

i feel like you know a lot about these things for how much you seem to dislike them

I have a good friend who has had shit like this (The high quality ones) in his instagram for years. He's balls deep in limited run knives and pocket tools.

It was funny recently to spend some time on vacation, and every single souvenier shop was selling these things, and I saw a ton of dumb kids with them.

Get on that asap then. They aren't hard to find and they're trendy as fuck. You dont want to get an order in when almost everyone who wants one has one and the hype dies. At a certain point people will be over them and giving their spinners away or selling them cheap. You don't want a box of 1000 sitting at you house at that point.

Yup. Gonna scope out the market this week, and if it looks good, place the order on the weekend.
 
I saw them at Target and there were two left. In the next aisle over there were two 11 year old boys chattering about "they'll be with the yo yos".

They rounded the corner and I casually grabbed one of the two and slowly walked away. Behind me a very tense discussion of who should get the one remaining ensued. By the time I exited the aisle I heard one furiously saying "no! No! No!"

I paid 5 bucks for it and it was worth it.
 
Unless you have add or adhd, you can fuck off and follow another trend that doesnt involve special ed kids, im pretty sure im not the only one who has that opinion
 
They're fucking dumb

also what is the point of putting bearings on the 3 ends... I don't think I've ever seen anyone ever try and spin one from that angle. There are cheaper ways to add weight
 
So let me get this straight.... people are paying $10 for a piece of plastic that spins on your finger and its somehow popular?

Humanity needs to die.
 
Just got off a video conference where one of the participants was playing with one on his desk. I wanted to reach through the screen and strangle him.
 
Was actually given one of these about a week ago and forgot about it until I read this thread. Think it's still in the bag I put it in when I got it. I'll report back if i remember to play with it.
