I'm glad you agree with me on this, Prophet, and that you see my point.

No problem. Helping people who have and who interact with people who have ADHD is a passion of mine as I work with many children who have it and I've struggled with it myself.

My Son has ADHD and all i can say is these things do nothing for him at all.

That's cool. I don't have it myself, but my nephews do. One is also autistic while the other has Tourette's like his dad. They're pretty awesome kids though.

Pfff. Someone was trying to recoup costs on surplus skate bearings and accidentally started a fad.

These things do the opposite of reducing stress for me. I see them spinning around at work all the time and they are starting to give me the sh!ts. Maybe I'll bring a pogostick in tomorrow and see how everyone likes that.

Man, I used to be the **** on my pogostick til a friend broke it. I've been thinking of getting a Vurtego for a couple years now

My fidget cube got here last night. Best $5 I've spent in a long time.

What all does that do? There's a little clicker and something that spins right?

*plastroncafe* · 05-24-2017, 12:54 PM

It's got buttons and slider and what not.

That's pretty cool. I think a fidget cube could work a lot better as a therapeutic tool than a spinner. A spinner is fun to play with but it pretty much takes up all your attention while you're using it. A fidget cube could be used in your pocket or with one hand while you're working

*plastroncafe* · 05-24-2017, 01:03 PM

Yeah. That's why I bought it.

*MikeandRaph87* · 05-24-2017, 03:42 PM

Today before 3rd period exams I had four kids and five fidget spinners in the classroom. I can't believe these came from out of nowhere May first and are now being sold at Hallmark and Ollie's Outlet and outnumbering the students in the room.

*BubblyShell22* · 05-24-2017, 03:49 PM

The fidget cube sounds cool and pretty discreet so I can see how that would work.

*Netkeeper* · 05-24-2017, 03:51 PM

Uh, Plastron... that site lists it as $20. On sale.

Oh, nice, thanks! That black and green especially looks fantastic.

Having bought one now, it's actually a lot of fun. It's like... a distraction, but not bad enough to actually distract you from your work and I find whenever I do check the time, more time time has past than I expected, so it does help make the work day go faster.

*sdp* · 05-25-2017, 09:26 PM

Well I finally got to play with a fidget cube and a fidget spinner, one of my students had them.

I guess the fidget cube as long as you don't use the noisy ones is ok since you could use it without anyone really noticing or whatever. I wouldn't get one personally.

The fidget spinner is crazy detracting, noisy and all around f-cking awesome. It's so simple and yet fun. I can see this getting old quick though, I doubt it'll survive 2017. And lmao at the whiny outrage culture; This is a toy as much as a yo-yo is and trying to justify it as some type of necessary thing to be allowed to be used is beyond ridiculous and even more than I originally thought now that I finally got my hands on one.

I do think they're cool, I may get one but I wouldn't really spend too much on one, I don't see me playing with it for too long.
