This is perhaps the fastest rise and fall of a trend I've seen. Only thing left to do is some shiatty movie called Fidget.

Had to look that one up.  In my day, we used hammers or whatever was weighted like that to catch.

Remember the days when it was cool to do your own thing and not jump on every goddam bandwagon that took off every 15 minutes?

I'm way more amused that when you skip around in this video, instead of an hourglass or something normal to show it is loading, you get a frickin' fidget spinner >.<

but i finally have an appointment at a sport and spine clinic...

I noticed there were apps like this on my iPad about a month ago. And some of them even cost money. In short, I'm in the wrong business.
