      I never said I hated them. They’re just absolutely useless is all. Ball bearings and other rotary bearings actually serve a purpose. Hell, even Lego blocks tend to serve more of a purpose than fidget spinners.

      Literally amongst humanity’s most useless contraptions.

        But what is purpose? Video games serve no purpose, flavoured drinks serve no purpose, pets serve no purpose… Unless entertainment and distraction is a purpose, in which case fidget spinners have a purpose too.

          Video games challenge the mind, flavored drinks might at least contain some essential minerals (like Gatorade), dogs warn and/or protect against intruders, cats chase away and/or eat rats, and even pet fish can be used to filter hydroponic gardening water.

          What’s ya point? Fidget spinners are totally useless.

            How about they’re just fun and people enjoy them? That’s a use.

              It’s just a mechanical metaphor for massaging your underside…
