There’s a difference between genuine and superficial interest though. It’s like the difference between a stranger asking how are you and a friend asking that.

Fidget spinners? At least I’ve gotten that impression.

I don’t have any issue with them, and it’s something to do with your hands when you can’t be throwing a chunk of some hard material around on the end of a string. I’m always fiddling with something, and its nice to have something less distracting when the situation requires. Outside of this I find them to be boring. I’m more likely to have quiet begleri or one of those dog bone shaped finger rollers. Or a pen.
When this summer’s batch of engineering/comp sci interns came in somebody decided to give them these cool pens that had a really bright LED light on one end. The button for that LED was way too easy to click, and was located on the barrel of the pen. Just after the interns got these pens, the lights were dimmed to play some video and through the whole video there were random flashes of bright light going on and off as people fiddled with their pens. In a couple weeks some poor intern managed to illuminate the retinas of a visiting VIP across a conference room table. All the sudden there was a big effort to recover all these pens, and consequently they became as highly coveted as a rainicorn swirl.

Yea, that may be true, but I guess the tone I portrayed in my response was inaccurate. I said “act” interested, but they actually were. They went out of their way to suggest tricks that they knew. I still get comments about my yoyo skills from those people to this day.

What are your quiet begleri made of? The only quiet begleri I own are a set of black AroundSquare silicone Everyman beads with rose gold Herc core inserts.

Yeah silicone, and I have some that are monkey fists made out of thick paracord knotted around something. I also took some 12mm nuts and stacked them till each bead was about the size/weight I wanted, and epoxied a washer to one end to capture the knot. I put a throwaway piece of paracord in each one and stuffed them full of some putty and then dipped them in some plastic dip which dries to a silicone consistency. Once that dried I yanked out the putty and strung them up. They were pretty quiet. I eventually gave them away to somebody who was intrigued by them.
I need to make another set, but I’m thinking about ways to improve on the design.

Also keep in mind that I really just enjoy a good back and forth discussion so when I respond like that I’m not trying to pick apart what you say, I’m just throwing a thought out there.

Yeah, I’m certain I fit in this category. I totally understand why people collect all kinds of things. I’m more interested in the sentiment I’ve noticed about fidget spinners. I don’t think I’ve really noticed it here, but more so on facebook bst and reddit. My perspective is that anybody who likes spinning toys has the potential to get really into yoyos.

There are people out there that think this about playing yoyo too.

Ah, the good old communication barrier.
I see “Nobody does _such and such_,” and I interpret it as “Hardly anyone does _such and such_,” but with “Nobody” used merely to make the statement more emphatic in tone. Others, however, see that and interpret it so very literally, as “Absolutely nobody anywhere ever does _such and such_,” and then proceeds to triumphantly dismantle it with logic nobody can refute, but which is being aimed at a statement nobody is really making.
Gotta love the Internet (though to be fair, I’m sure this kind of thing also occurred in the age of physical letter-writing).

I’m honestly not a fan of speaking in hyperbolic terms to add emphasis. I’m guilty of it myself, but in an age where people speak in memes and layers of colloquialisms it can be helpful to be more direct and clear in word choice.

In the past I have heard, “what did I just see?”
The oddest response was yo-yoing in front of a person who suffers from vertigo, and although he liked it, it made him dizzy.

You seem pretty upset by that.
I’m not sure I said anything ‘triumphantly’ at all.

But really, the price isn’t inflated. We pay the same amount as Americans just our dollar/euro is worth less.

I’m not exactly sure how to understand what someone is saying if I can’t take it that they mean what they said.
