after reading through this thread, i had to see more of a reason for why some people like this thing other than just autism, so i spent 5 bucks on one to review: it's shit.
 
I remember when I first started seeing these things in the local convenience store, and neither the clerks nor staff had any idea why in the fuck they were so popular. Apparently they'd been carried for almost a year before they caught on, and from there they had difficulty keeping them in stock.

I dunno, dude. I am okay with .website (It brought us shit like nicememe.website and evenbettermotherfucking.website ) but you're right about all the other GTLDs

Did you know that more than half of all .click domains contain malware according to ICANN statistics?

I didn't know it was that bad. It's impressive, in a way. They also cost more than twice the price to register, compared to a regular .com domain. Twice the cost, filled with poop.

What I envision keeping a store with these things was like:

 
reinvested in dip coated spinners that are camo. coming in at .25 a piece, going out in one shipment for $2 each to a guy in Atlanta.

I might do one more flip on these with that money, depends how the craze flows in the next month. Shipping bulk from China is a pain in the ass to my patience.

I didn't even have to buy one at all, someone had opened up a box at an Ollie's and I had to see it for myself. There's no game involved with it or a trick, it's just kinda what it is, no real variety whatsoever.
 
I'm really glad I found a thread for this.

Anyway, I didn't mind fidget spinners when people barely knew about them, I thought they'd be really helpful for me. Now every time I see someone with a fidget spinner I want to shank them in the ass with a candy cane.
 
I have one thanks to my sibling who bought it and doesn't know why they did. It lights up with 3 different light paterns. It's okay to mess around unless you're super bored with nothing to do. My parents are confused why they're popular but they don't seem to mind messing with it once in awhile. I know one thing, the lights are super fucking bright to the point it can blind you.

I let my dog look and sniff the fidget spinner while the lights were on just to see how he would react. He just walked away from it like it was nothing.

I'm too lazy to read back and see if this has already been posted

It was expected. :lol: A lot of dogs i've been seeing bark at these things or play with them. Even cats. My dog won't touch the fidget spinner for two reasons.

1. It's not edible
2. It's not a ball or stuffed animal he can destroy within 5 minutes
