Seriously? 'You get that'? Are you just throwing that term out there? No, you obviously do not get that at all. You think you do, but you don't. That is the whole problem with you millennials. One day hopefully you will though, for your sake and the sake of your future wife and kids. Isn't your homework due? You should go do it. Learn, make some decent money in your life, and buy what the **** you want without having to explain to some little boy about the cost or benefit of quality. Why not go bug the wine groups about why they spend $50+ on a bottle when the $6 bottle works just as well. I think your parents did a bad job of showing you how to appreciate the finer things in life. I make over $500k/year and have done so for over 10 years. I own my house and some land, my kids are through university. I travel 2 months a year and own a few pretty sweet rides. Seriously you are embarrassing yourself with how much you are valuing cheap plastic spinners, kid. To me, the difference between $20 and $60 is nothing. But show me a nice Titanium spinner for under $20. You do understand how the different densities of metals affect the spin, right? And how Titanium is denser than other cheaper metals, including plastic, leading to a much smoother and longer spin, outside of the bearings hardware? I mean have you compared the feel of a good Ti spinner vs. a sub $20 one? I assume you are just a drunk kid in school, and are bored and pissed that people have more money that you probably ever will to do whatever they want with - and for that reason, you will never appreciate good quality, because you were never taught what it was. Enjoy your cheap plastic life.

I like them because I'm the kind of person who always likes to be doing something with my hands. It's more satisfying to have something spinning between my fingers than to just twirl my pencil around. I like to use it for it's intended use, something to fidget with when trying to stay focused. I do not really understand to people who have them just because they're "cool"? I mean, yeah they're kinda cool I guess. As cool as a prize you exchange your tickets for at Chuck E Cheese's, and you show your friends, "Hey, look at this cool thing!", and they're like "Sweet dude" and then once you get home you stuff it in your desk and never look at it again. I don't use mine at school much because my edgy friends are like "y r u just hoppin on the bandwagon, be original please, it's not cool" and it's a bit irritating, but it's just nice to have a thing to play with. It's not cool by any means, but it's just nice for a person like me who always needs to fidget with something.

Crap. I want my $8 back. Can someone please tell me how to get my butt fondled?

fondle your own ass

I think that people who say that we shouldn't play with them because they're made for a specific group of individuals are complete idiots trying to look smarter than people who take a part in trends. Going that logic than I guess girls shouldn't play with barbies as they were made for Russian men and frisbees should only be used for pies.

At least those people are still implying they have a use of some sort.

People who call them stupid and anyone who uses them stupid on the other hand seem to just think they're cool because they're talking down to people who enjoy them without even presenting an alternative or another viewpoint beyond "lol autistic".

i actually own one

have you used one? they feel so satisfying omg. I used to think like you until I spun one, now I'm addicted.

im waiting for the day somebody takes one of these to the head and dies, thus making fidget spinners banned countrywide and i can sell mine for upwards of 10,000 dollars and make a profit off of the great fidget spinner massacre of 2017

This guy economics.

I saw some people around here with it. Don't get why people like it but it's a meme so it's funny I guess.

When I was in school hand held consoles, scoubidou, trading card games, encarta and the Tamagotchi were all the rage, now all kids need today to be entertained is a piece of spinning plastic and weights.

What happened?

to be honest, i don't even know.

as time goes on, we discover so much, yet.. we become so little.

TCG and videogames became expensive? Though to be fair, no different than those old finger skateboards, and kids divided their attention between that and videogames evenly back then.

if you think fidget spinners are dumb remember pet rocks were a phenomenon in late 1975

so apparently some kid at my sisters school almost got a spinner to the head

all according to plan

i should be rich in no time

my school is 3d printing them now

Quote: Sesshomaru75

back in my day we didn't play with things at school because we did work all day long and if we got distracted for even a second the teacher would repeatedly beat the living **** out of us with a ruler until we cried uncle

*sigh* those were the good old days

you kids have it too easy these days imo

HOLD IT

Someone get me a time machine

*Enters time machine with a baseball bat*

Alright I'm back, what did I miss

What's so wrong with it?

We're coming full circle back to the 50s when kids were entertained by paddle balls.

mines coming in the mail today
i'll update y'all when I get it

i don't really care about them but i do laugh at people who spend a lot of money on them...like the person who originally made the post in the OP

i spent 15 bucks on mine

update- i currently now own 3 fidget spinners, one of with lights up

awaiting imminent massacre

Fidget Spinners are banned in my school now. Ok, I understand they can be distracting in class, but I saw two teachers using them in the open air?

Who actually even calls them Fidget Spinners? They are Autismo Gizmo's mate

Only if you're 13-15 and still want to use that as an insult. You don't need to be in the spectrum to fidget, the amount of hairclips I destroyed can attest to that.

ill start the bidding at 10,000 dollars

I think fidget spinners are fine unless there's some obnoxious kid playing with it in public and it's like bright yellow so you see it out the corner of your eye and almost gives you a seizure. Then I want to chuck the fidget spinner (and the kid) at the wall.

I guess this is relevant to the discussion:

that'd make a good meme on r/me_irl

I miss Pogs. At least Pogs had a game tied to them. Is there a game you can play with fidget spinners? I'm pretty sure there isn't. My younger family members have a bunch of them and they just spin and and spin and spin and I'm so confused.

I'm not saying I like fidget spinners, but we lost it when we found out Hot Streak's wheels turned.

I have to admit that for whatever reason I bought one today, and it's kinda fun. Nothing special, but it's pretty cool to see if spin for a really long time.
