Fidget toys

>>36851142
Would not give up several hours of my life in wageslavery in return for one.

Free time is heaven. Work is hell.

>>36851142
Dumb normie tier.

You can get the same experience fixing a car.

>>36851254
>fixing a car

But that's more normie than a fidget toy, anon.

The spinners are overpriced not sure about cubes tho

>>36851142
Meme that will soon die out and always a waste of money.

Who the fuck is going to spend 40$ on a cheap plastic toy when you can get the same satification by twirling pens/clicking pens

People who buy that garbage also use "xd" and ":v" unironically

I had to google this because I have no idea what the fuck these are.

>Dr. Jennifer Crosbie, a clinical psychologist at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, agrees fidget toys can be useful but says the new devices are more toy than tool and aren't likely to have the desired effect.
>"They definitely don't have the attributes that are generally associated with the kinds of fidget and sensory toys that are traditionally used with kids with a range of conditions," Crosbie told CBC News.
>For one thing, a fidget toy should involve some movement or motion on the part of the child using it, which allows them to release excess energy.
>"It actually kind of addresses that need to move around and allows them to be focusing on something else," Crosbie says.
>Some of the more popular devices now sold in toy stores, dollar stores and online, like the fidget spinner, require little more than a flick of the finger; the toy does all the moving.

>Winnipeg psychologist Kirsten Wirth says there isn't enough evidence that the toys actually help kids focus.
>"There's a difference between what we call anecdotal evidence and what the research actually shows," Wirth said. "Because there might be a bit of a placebo effect happening where we feel like something is helping, but it may or may not actually be helping."
>To be most effective, Crosbie says, fidget toys should be selected to suit the attributes of the individual child, in discussion with parents, teachers and other experts, as in Peterson's case.
>"I actually hold fidget toys up as ... a really good example of how not all accommodations and recommendations work equally for individuals," Crosbie says. "For some kids it can be really helpful. But for an equal number of kids it ends up being a bit of a distraction and doesn't actually help in the way we hope it does."

Who is truly in the right here?

Where did these even come from? My little brother introduced me to the concept last week, and my coworker was playing with one yesterday when I clocked in.

I want one

Normies are dumbasses that want to spend their life at work and then waste the money on dumb shit. I really don't understand how people don't hate he absolute shit out of work. Literally being a slave for most of the day.

Lol manchild NEET doesn't understand something, SHOCKING

>>36851142
Get this normie shit out of my face. Keep it on your social media.

>>36851460
>defensive because he whored his body out as a slave for 8 hours so he could afford a fucking spinning toy.

>>36851488
I'll slap your dick against my tummy

>>36851525
>being a useless burden

>>36851142
>it pisses me off that it's a normie trend now.
it was crowdfunded you fag
it started as the normiest thing
you hipster wannabe trashrat

>>36851488
Why would I ask on social media? All the dumb normies would instantly say "oh yeah they're great I have 12 of them" whereas here I get a varied array of answers

>>36851457
Probably a chinese knock off.

The originals go for as much a 35-40 dollary doos

>>36851550
There's a difference between something being crowdfunded and something being in every shop (I'm not joking) in almost every pocket and so on.
Other things that have been crowd-funded aren't everywhere

>>36851568
Why the fuck would you buy an original one then? They all act exactly the same, you cant exactly make a cube wrong.

>>36851544
Yeah I bet those kids in fucking sweatshops making these things are glad they're not a useless burden and really love their job.

Stop acting like everyone on earth wouldn't quit their job at 2 seconds notice if they didn't need the money.

>>36851358
What's wrong with using cute text faces :v?

>>36851618
How are you surviving fambino, what's your income?

>>36851637
I dunno, that anon must be lonely ._.

>>36851553
You already know the response you'd get on social media?
You know the drill.
>>>/out/

>>36851610
The same reason people want to buy name brand products for anything
They rationalize that just because its the original, therefore its the best, despite it being made in the same sweat shop the chinese rip offs were all made in.

>>36851142
This is the most gay thing in the world.

>>36851737
Well, yeah. I have to interact with normies every day at work and college. I have a pretty good idea of what their reaction would be considering it's just the same sort of people, but only in a text format.

>>36851789
Lol whatever you fucking Norman

>>36851787
No, that purple shirt with a succubus(male) is quite honestly the gayest thing on this earth

>>36851665
I'm a written translator. I took a passion and turned it into my job. Now I hate my passion. Have had several "really great" jobs, can confirm they all suck ass.

>>36851814
You're originally projecting, my friend.

>>36851843
I don't believe you, NEETboi

Kek that wasn't even me. Why are you still here?

Tell me more about these fidget cubes, what is one each side

>>36851944
Because I made the thread and I want to see what people think of these dumb things

>>36851902
Sorenara, nandekiita?

>>36852040
Google translate to you, too

>>36851989
There's a joystick, 5 clicking buttons, a ball-bearing and 3 dials, a light-switch, a flap-disk thing you can spin, and a finger-print thingie

>>36851990
Fuck off, stop impersonating me

>>36852063
Nice meme, not original though.

I write off those who buy and use them as retards

>>36851834
Combine these two, and you have mega gay

I feel like you might be an impersonator

>>36852200
Maybe don't fucking reply to me, fatboi

Those things piss me off. Here I am going my whole damn life twirling pens and knuckle rolling coins yet I don't think to make a product for that exact purpose to sell to retards and trendy normalfags. If I had caught wind of this meme 6 months ago I'd be set to retire by now. If you look at the volume being moved it's shocking. They don't even cost $0.50 each after you factor in shipping and everything. Stores are selling out even when they're $20 each.

>>36852323
>Those things piss me off.
it should encourage you to the wide range of possibilities the future holds. it certainly shouldn't piss you off as you haven't lost anything. Good example of mindset framing things

>>36851142
i'm actually glad it's a normie trend so i don't look like an autist anymore
