    Do you think if Fidget Spinners were shaped like butterflies, they would make it on Toy Box?

    It gets complicated when you have a child who is situated somewhere on the spectrum; it’s weird to think that something in use as a therapeutic tool could become such a fad. Something that allows you to move while sitting still is performing a novel, useful function and it kinda sucks slash might not be 100% legal that some are deprived of it because their medicine got fetishized by mainstream culture.

    I wonder how much of that last bit is random chance and the arcane workings of fad/fashion, how much is "hey, Joey has one of those things so I want one too", and how much is "everyone, to some degree, enjoys stimming."

    Back when I was a kid, we had Lego, K'nex and Lincoln Logs. Toys that invited you to think, to create, not to stare into the center of a spinning bauble while it hypnotizes your problems away.

    I was just disappointed with fidget spinners. When I first saw them I thought that there was some kind of spring loaded thing in the center, so that if you pressed the center axle together, it would spin it.

    Then I realized it did not have that, and felt a sad.

    You wanted it to spin itself? lol I like the idea that you have to spin it yourself. Best way to harvest souls.

    You seem fun.

    I'd rather being able to spin it by pressing the "button" in the center, instead of just needing to flick it

    I assumed that's how they work... huh. Lame toy!

    Had to google it myself. Appearently that's when you film yourself drinking a pint in a single gulp and uploading it to youtube.
    Pretty sure back in my day we just called that "drinking". Now get off my grass you darned hooligans.

    I was convinced each one concealed a razor sharp core made of hanzo steal. That was the reason given for their banning at school, and I always imagined students figuring out how to shank each other with them.

    What is this I don't even.

    I was told as a child that those things were razor sharp and could slice through an arm like butter. I'm still genuinely apprehensive of them because of that.
