Bought spinners for when my nephews are over. While they're okay, I prefer my cube. As someone in the education field, I'm glad that schools have stepped up to keep them in line. I know they're for anxiety purposes, but I can tell you first hand that kids were mostly using them in class for spinning competitions instead of doing work. They bring them time to time, but it's only now in the cafeteria or after school. But, I suppose us teachers should be thankful that these spinners replaced the annoying water bottle flipping fad Actually where I've been working, with the spinners banned, they've gone back to bottle flipping. We can't win.

I prefer fidget cubes because there are more things to do with them. I will also say I get annoyed when I see someone be a dumbass with them and use them in a potentially dangerous way... I thought about getting a fidget cube. Looks like it would be helpful for stress and anxiety.

I futz with the cube, though the joystick feels very unsatisfying which kinda gives me further anxiety. The clicking irks me a little. I still like messing with it though.
Honestly, I keep a few select Transformers on my work desk, usually ones with quick transformations. If there's downtime I'll convert it back and forth and set it up in a pose or two. I have gobs of them and I've realized I usually mess with them when I have the house to myself, something to keep my hands busy and keep me calm.

We can't win. Because th issue is not the spinner ,or the bottles.Forbidding then doesn't really do much

I noticed today that all my scratches and pick spots have healed over and I have fingernails again. Holy shit! This is the first time in a year I haven't had some kind of open wound on me.

I have autism, ADHD, and compulsive nailbiting and derma. Since I got a spinner I've had 10 grown nails for the first time since high school.

Bought one as a joke, a few weeks back, now I can't stop using it. It actually works. I don't feel the need to run out and have a smoke every 10 minutes.

The fad is over in my school, so I'm happy. When used correctly, I liked them, though.

Eh, not for me. If it works for you, you go on with your bad self. So, you're telling me that I should return the box of them, that I bought you for Christmas?

I had no clue what they were until I saw one over a month ago at a Pro Wrestling EGO show. Grabbed one a week ago,thanks to new meds I am either hyper or fidgety all day. And it does help. Went for a spinner cause it makes almost no noise and the cubes make too much noise.

I don't really know what they are but I'm seeing them brought up everywhere lately, including routinely having to write ads for them for my job. Kind of annoying because of how their mere existence is a punchline in certain corners of the Internet for some unfathomable reason.
