Best Fidget Spinner

Just get a rubiks cube, those are great to kill some time and it promotes some sort of thought rather than simply spinning something.

People that would want a Fidget Spinner don't have the mental capacity to solve a rubiks cube

Don't buy the gorilla spinner. They advertise 2+ minutes of spin time, ordered it for my girlfriends son and it won't spin for longer than 70 seconds. It looks cool, but you can get much better spinners for cheaper.

im a high school teachers and we went on vacation last week, the kids saw a stand where they sell them, they all bought one and they kept spinning these things for all the weekend

I don't get the point of them. What are they supposed to do?

The only good Fidget Spinner is a dead Fidget Spinner

I still can't believe people think this shit is 'trendy'. For those who actually don't need it, it's worrying that their attention spans are so short as a result of wanting to follow the crowd. What a joke.

These are great for kids with autism and those sensitive to the sensation of these devices. I foster a child with Down Syndrome. I don't know why regular kids are buying them. They're no different to any toy you can find in a disabilities shop.

Your Lucky you don't do the classic method of: "Just smack them up side the head. and tell them to shut up.".

I teach in a Jr. High and I have banned these fidget toys/spinners from my classroom. Everyone has one and I have yet to see a single one of my students use his/her new toy as a means to stay focused in class. I confiscate them on site now.

Good for you man. Nothing wrong with taking away distractions from the classroom

I saw a bunch of kids with these yesterday for the first time at the airport....never have I wanted to slap something out of someone's hand so badly. Is it really so hard to just not do shit for a minute?

I, for one, can see the appeal in these and the cubes. I can also see why teachers or other students might be distracted. Unfortunately, the response seems to be "just take them away." When I was a kid, I fidgeted with my pen, eraser, pencil, whatever I had. I once cut up the upholstery in my parent's car at a very young age, not even thinking about what I was doing. Of course, my teachers always just assumed I was distracted and lazy, and I never saw a doctor for this behavior. This was in the late nineties, by the way. Even to this day, in college, I fidget with my pen, though I've taught myself to not click it any more than two or three times, once I catch myself. People need to stop looking at the cubes and spinners as toys and adjust to work around them. Like the OP says, there may not be evidence that suggests that they are therapeutic, but what I can say, personally as an early adopter of the cube, is that they reduce the pressure that some of us feel when we're not using our hands. Young students with attention/anxiety disorders or issues need to be accommodated instead of being tossed aside as an annoyance.

Personally my favorite spinner is Reily Ried but that's just me.

When we were bored in school we spun pens with our hands. Some of the guys I know got pretty good and made money off of doing tricks with them. Lucky bastards.

Having something to fidget with takes your mind off of whatever it is that is causing the anxiety. Does it work for everyone? Most likely it does not but try it. I feel it does have a certain calming effect. And the ellipsis was used correctly. You can use it to indicate silence...which is what I did.

How on earth can these be dangerous? And, before you answer, throwing it at someone, setting them on fire, forcing them to reach terminal velocity, or anything else of that matter does not count. None of those are within the specs of the toy. If people go out of their way to do something stupid with them, that is 100% their problem and 0% the toy maker's problem. You can't cure stupidity. Especially not by hiding things that could be considered "dangerous" from people. Because, by that logic, you'd have to say practically everything else should be scrutinized for being too dangerous. Including your yo-yo. In fact, I'd say that a yo-yo is significantly more dangerous than a spinner simply because there is a learning curve when it comes to using a yo-yo, and newbies are likely to whip it around and clock someone in the face with it.

Ha ha, I guess I hit a nerve. It's ok, you've got your toy to calm yourself down. The second mark for the definition is added as accepted grammatical usage. You can have it, even though you know it means the omission of words. If you dig enough, you can find whatever you want. Even stupid words like this:

How do they help with autistic people? I genuinely want to know

It can be used a "sensory toy". Most schools have lots of things like this depending on what works for students

My son has mild autism and I got him one of these to see if it could curb his stimming. Worked pretty well, but lo and behold now they are used by douchebags trying to be trendy. I suppose its a good thing as now he is a trendsetter among his peers, but i still don't understand the allure of using one of these. Funny as fuck because I had to special order one and I walked into a gas station and found a shitload sitting on a shelf by the register.

If you aren't mentally handicapped you'll prolly find them stupid and boring. Try a yo-yo instead.

Very cool. Looking forward to hearing about the best diapers and binkies, as well.

The best fidget spinner. I don't know if I'm ready. I mean I like cars but I wouldn't just go out and buy a lamborghini. What if I just want to dip my toesies in the fidget spinner pool. You know like one that promises to spin for a moderate amount of time and is somewhat impressive without garnering too much attention.

I'm a teacher and these things cause more problems in a classroom than they pretend to fix

Is twirling a pencil not good enough for these motherfuckers? Enough mental disorders exist we shouldn't invent new ones that can only be cured by fidget spinners.

Teachers can curse just like anyone else can. Just be professional at work like everyone else should be.

I went to the local comic store to buy some Heroclix last week. The owner who I know pretty well says to me "tell everyone we have spinners of all kinds". After we left the store I said to my brother "I have no clue what spinners are"... I'm always behind what the kids are doing.

Those fidget cubes are knock offs. The legit one is made by Antsy Labs and there's a big difference between the knocks off and the real thing.

I don't understand these kinds of things. Why, I can spend all day just playing with myself.
