Yess I'm bored

So who's got one??

I think they are sooo addictive my nephews got quite a few now and I'm getting my first one next week

Pics and thoughts people

 

A stupid/pointless fad for brain dead morons (no offence). That's my opinion.

 

Bit harsh, it's just a toy

 

Exactly, for children, ytf would an adult have any interest in that cack.

 

They're a lot quieter that the last fad, bottle flipping !!

 

Suppose to keep fidgety kids occupied

 

Just cable tie them to the fence. That'll keep them occupied!

 

My nephew is a nightmare total monster but soon as he's messing with these it keeps him quite for a bit

I got a free one from maplin when I bought some headphones few days ago gave it to nephew he loved it

Thought they might be the in thing cost like a fiver for one

 

no its supposed to be for kids with ADHD/Autism, it just so happens to have turned into fad causing problems for the kids that do need them during a school day

 

My eldest foster boy has ADHD these help him a lot.He was also into bottle flipping.
I know which I prefer him to do.

 

I wish I'd thought of it and patented it.lol .Think my kids have got bored of it. Albeit they have aquired loads of the things.

 

I know its for kids, but I see teenagers/adults using them, which is just very sad. Have they really got nothing else better in their lives to occupy their minds.

"Causing problems for kids" lol seriously, just take it away from them before they goto school or just ban them! (well they have started to be banned already, so at least someone has seen sense) Jesus. Same goes for smartphones, they shouldn't be allowed when they are at school, they are supposed to be there to educate themselves not to "fidget" or socialise and wonder what Sharon/Tracy are doing on snapchat. Our society is fecked

As for kids with "ADHD"/autism they already have special needs resources in place to help them, they don't need these stupid bloody things.

 

These do help them

 

Its just a distraction. I can think of many things that would be more useful and helpful than a spinner. Its just a fad nothing more or less.

 

Amen blaaaaaad.

 

You're missing out, there's some wicked videos on YouTube demonstrating what happens if you over speed one.

 

WTH is bottle flipping?

That's passed me by.

 

Flipping a bottle of water/coke/whatever 360 degrees, to land it on the ground on its base. Another gay fad created by moronic teenagers with rice krispies for brains.

 

As a lecturer in Engineering, we embraced 'their' fad and started 3D printing and machining some more adventurous ones.

 

 

Embraced, aka cashed in on good on you, hope you made/make a shedload of cash.

 

Was spin the bottle when I was 14

Time they brought that back. For adults.lol

 

 

'Cus you were never one once

 

We used to pay slam with a football against a wall. Or ride for miles on our bikes. Or swim in a river

Was great ! No wonder we were fitter than that fet nerdy i phone generation.World has gone mental. lol. Wonder if they could live without something on a screen for 5 mins ?

 

Fair point badly made

 

Being a proper Koont... I think I need one of these in my life.

 

Being a proper c*nt ... I think I need one of these in my life.

 

Simple answer to that is no. We've had to limit screen time in our house as the daughters were physically attached to theirs and became unresponsive to anything outside of their screen. It's also scary how anxious they can get without their phone / ipad - frightened of missing 'something' on social media etc. etc.

As for the fidget-spinners, the youngest daughter bought one and they are just like a stress-ball really, except less stressful.

 

Yeah it was a *******isation of the English language wasn't it
