Seriously, what's the deal with these things?

They're to prevent the door from hitting the wall too hard and potentially denting it. Hence the shock absorption mechanism.

How come the spring is all compressed already then?

>>38142918
They stop the door so the doorknob doesn't hit the wall

>>38142918
They're wall penises. Why else would it be so fun to make them fling around?

In theory, it's what the anon above said.

In practice, it was primarily a device used to piss off my cat and annoy relatives.

Because they wanted to sell it to people for multiple reasons, and kids didn't used to have video games.

Because assholes fling doors open so hard it was meant to buckle to the side dumbass, in the event people are being dramatic that's when the door knobs went through walls, so it needed to hold back really heavy old doors from being ripped into the wall buy angery family members. Pansy spring wouldn't have stopped it.

Middle class suburban white family, lel

They had an unhealthy obsession with appearances and image, and children acting like children was apparently bad for their image

You know the type. The same type of parents that would be like "Stop it, you're embarrassing ME!" anytime you got upset in public or cried as a kid.

>>38143178
They were cats obviously.

Reminder that cat means person in West African. Why cool cats happened, then turned into people saying dog.
