I have to admit, I did buy a nice fidget spinner. ;)

Mid-20s today? Yeah. Ok.

In your 40s today? Welp...

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

It still makes a great cat toy!

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Ok, that I haven't considered. Old unsold cat toys should be repackaged as cat toys!

The new packaging could say "Remember these stupid things? Well cats still LOVE them! Watch your cat lose their fucking mind! It's hilarious seeing their little fur brains try to comprehend these simple toys!"

I'd buy a spinner toy like that. Planking however was ALWAYS stupid, and everyone who did it should feel shame.

I'm 40+ and still love spinners :)

I’m 48 and just bought a fancy one from Etsy.

I was so furious that my fidget spinner started to graze insanely after 3 days. I liked that trend ngl.

Got one after the craze had died down and they're surprisingly fun - just a good quality desk toy

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I had 6, and today I have 0. Yep, I lost all my fidget spinners.

I recently bought a nice hand machined metal one. It helps me focus when doing email

I did not buy any, but got one as a gift. Was embarrassed to use it in public, but genuinely enjoyed. All because since earlier than I can remember, I require keeping my hands busy with something.
