To illustrate the complete strangeness of today's Fidget spinner, allow me to offer a brief comparison. Remember when Tickle Me Elmo was the hottest toy in the country? Every child wanted one. But imagine if one day when you went to the office and you saw a colleague of collaboration tickling his Elmo all insession at her office. "It helps me relax and concentrate," he says. "You do not have a tickle me elmo? Dude, you are like the last person on the left."

It's fidget spinner mania in a hazelnut. It is the toy of children who has become somehow the hottest adult accessory of the year. Just look at the titles.Strong Named Fidget Spinners "The Indispensable Office Toy for 2017." And theNew York Times The called "hula hoop for generation Y."

And if you are an observer close tomen's clothes Trends on social media, you will see that Fidget spinners are being marketed as the coolest smooth guy accessories from the wristwatch. (For the record: they are not.)

If you are a person teaches or curious about this weird phenomenon, you have arrived at the right place. The following is all you need to know to survive the age of the Fidget spinner.

What exactly is a fidget spinner? It looks like a kind of weapon of Ninja.

They do a little, of course. But they are not as dangerous. The Fidget spinners are only gadgets, small enough to fit the palm of your hand, with anywhere from two to three weighted claws with ball bearings. You hold the spinner in the middle with your finger and your thumb, then turn it. It is . . . Well, that's fine.

They are quite cheap - the typical price is between $ 3 and $ 5, but they can cost up to $ 650 if you want your spinner to light up as a rock glam show. And they are available literally anywhere. Seriously. You can find them online more easily than finding porn and in the real world, everywhere of Manhattan shops with pet-friendly service stations.

But come back to your point on Fidget Spinners resembling Ninja weapons. Some of themlooks more like weapons that others. I mean it's now, who announces that a toy is perfect for the reduction of stress, then gives them blades from pure titanium? Forget what I said about Fidget Spinners is not dangerous. TheyAbsolutely maybe. If you want a proof,Here is. (Full warning, there is a lot of splashed blood.)

Were not loyalty spinners designed for autistic children?

It was the original idea. Not only children autistic, but children with anxiety and ADHD. But everyone does not buy it. "The notion, purely conjectural, that the spinners can help children with ADHD based on a series of empirical studies that we have published in recent years showing that children with ADHD are better performing on demanding cognitive tasks when 'They move the most, "said MD Report, Ph.D. psychologist and director of the Children's Learning Clinic at the University of the Florida Center.

Studieslike this one, published in 2015 in thePsychology diary of abnormal children, in which report examined children aged 8 to 12 with ADHDH, and found that they were better for memory tasks when they moved their members rather than sitting still. So, in other words, they had agitated more. "It seems to be due to the fact that the front / preferred area of ​​their brain is essentially under a waking and everyone needs a sufficient level of excitement to maintain attention," says the report.

The only problem is that Fidget Spinners does not really need a person to hurt physically. The mechanism does all the work. "The use of a spinner makes you hold relatively motionless and thus realizes thecontrarythe desired effect, "says report.

In other words, a Fidget spinner is the most stupid product claiming to be real exercise sinceAgitate.

So why do children like them so much?

Because adults hate them. I want to sayhaaaaaate them. Teachers blog on how fidget spinners are "The worst collapse, "You should take a minute and read it, it's quite entertaining." It's a toy and I hate it, "she writes." I actually have a visceral reaction when they emerge from a pencil case or an Sadic pocket of Bell de Pavlov's experience. "Damn. How do you read this as a child or a teenager, or even an adult with an anti-authority series, and do not think," I have to proceed to them. "

These are not just teachers of choice that despise them. Schools are actuallyprohibitionSpinners Fidget. Schools of more than 11 states, including Florida, Illinois, New York, Virginia now have policies against students entering the school property with Fidget spinners, on the ground they are "Nuisances and even dangerous, "reports theWashington Post. And you know what? They are just on both counts. But you do not say to a young person that they should not do something because it's a nuisance and dangerous and so wait for themnotto do it. Have we not seenFastening, people?

The world of the consumer monitoring group against toys causing damage put fidget spinners at the top of their 2017 "Summer safety traps, "Where he beat the patelles (who burst into flames of failure) as the most dangerous toy in the world. And that does not make them of course that more tempting. It's like the perfect storm. They can kill youand Parents and teachers hate them? Do you remember this video that we showed you above, the guy tearing his open finger with a spinner at the Fidget Ball? Yeah, this video has 5.5million Views. You think people look in horrified silence, like children in the 50's used to sit throughCar accident movies In the ED driver? No chance. They are like: "damn, Brah! We must totally try that!"

How were they so popular with adults?

Ah, it's the most confusing mystery. This could be as simple as some of themarketing language used by Fidget Dealers. They promise that their spinners "bring out this creative genius resting beyond you", and could help you stop everything from causing the nail bite to smoke. But really, do we believe that millions, if not billions of people use Fidget spinners for self-improvement? Probably not. They do it because it has become the fashion accessory of the moment.

When Kendall Jenner takes a summer afternoon walk in New York, it's his fidget spinner thatGets all the press. The Zana Bayne leather fashion designer, who dressed in Beyonce's dancers for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, created his own pupil leather fidger spinner and introduced it on his Instagram by declaring "Spinning is a lifestyle." You can buylip Spinners Fidget,solid gold Fidget Spinners (for "Daddy"), and yes, evenFidget Spinner Porn. (God helps us all).

Speaking of God, Catholic priests use Fidget spinnersIn their sermons. We are apparently living in a world where a popular toy is used at a time to explain the Bibleand to haveinserted in female genitals.

Should I get my own Fidget spinker? I have no problem with Fidgeting, I do not think, and I do not care about trends. But should I buy one anyway?

It's an interesting question. We contacted experts in a variety of fields and had a lot of very different opinions. Joel Best, Professor of Sociology at the University of Delaware and author ofFlavor of the month: why smart people fall for the fessel, all this is not impressed by the fidget spinner. "I do not think Fidget's spinners are particularly fascinating," he said. "I think they are a slightly fun gadget."

But Paul Doherty, physicist of the explorator in San Francisco, think they are worth your time. "I like objects that can make us aware of science and engineering around us," he says. "Our lives are normally governed by the friction, but Fidget spinners seem surprisingly without friction. I recommend Fidget Spinners to allow people to experience the marvelous engineering behind the bale friction reducers for spinning."

The most convincing business probably comes from Dr. Katherine Isbister, Professor of Computer Media at the University of California, Santa Cruz and author ofHow do the games evolve us: emotion by designot. "First of all," she told us, "I bet if you looked at what you're doing now, you would realize thatto do Fidget with things on your desk or you wear with you. A pen, your nails, a favorite stone. It's extremely common. "

But does Fidget Spinners really help? If there is a legitimate doubt they do something significant for children with short attention staff, what could they possibly do for you, an adult who can be multitasking without too many problems? Isbister, who didReal search on this, insists that there are many tangible benefits. "The faithful take advantage of the inherent engagement and pleasure we take using our hands to handle and feel the material world," she says. "It helps us adjust how we feel while we do the kind of targeted office work, like writing, it's so much part of everyday life."

Yes, it's a FAD, and people will not talk forever. But that does not mean you should not have one anyway. There was a fascinatingAmerican scientist History A few years ago, long before anyone knowing about Spinners Fidget, who described the comforting rituals used by people in the South Pacific Islands during the 1940s.

"When residents went fishing in turbulent waters and infested at the shark beyond the coral reef, they made specific rituals to invoke magical powers for their safety and protection," explained the author. "When they fished in the calm waters of a lagoon, they treated the fishing trip as an ordinary event and does not perform any ritual."

Do these rituals protect them from sharks? Absolutely not. But that made them feel better. That's really why Fidget's spinners are so addictive. Sometimes do something with your hands, also without meaning and stupid, just put you in a quiet place. And in these strange, terrifying times, where sharks are the least of our concerns, we could all use a welcome distraction.
