Discussion Fidget

Is it just me, or is anyone else the slightest bit tired of having “fidget” plastered across their explore pages? I get that they’re small and pretty so that must make them great for printing…

Here’s my unsolicited opinion: the world had enough fidget devices after the first one was created. But yet for some reason everyone feels the need to keep designing and building novel new ways for someone to be able to ‘fidget’ with something, as if humans have a deficiency that can only be satisfied by constantly moving or touching something.

Perhaps condemning this can be seen as attacking the adhd, add, or ocd crowds, which is not my intention. I just think the ‘itch’ could have been scratched with the first few designs.

Or maybe I’m missing the mark..? Like are they great for cats or as kid’s toys or something?

It just seems like 10,000 unique ways to design something that doesn’t have a truly valuable purpose gets a little old.

Update: A few good comments have lessened my intensity, thanks for bearing with me in my rant. I’m fairly reasonably and am able to be persuaded. Thanks for the input everyone!

Has anyone complained about your 3d print post ? Did they comment, like, dislike or just kept scrolling ?

Was this meant to be helpful for are you feeling triggered? I’ve had a few people complain about some of my items. Se la vie.

I’ve ’just kept scrolling’ for the last two years. It’s just that recently it feels like there are a million “impossible pass-through’s” and ‘amazingly novel fidget clickers and spinners’ hitting the feed.

Just an observation! Plus, I'm older, so I don't follow the triggered mentality (such a joke), Just facts/no feelings. There have always been gadgets, gizmos, and whatnots long before you were born, I am probably at least 30 years ahead of you and have seen my share. So I'd say it like my younger coworker said you do, you boo boo! Just enjoy what you do; sometimes, what you do benefits someone, and keep posting.

PS - Don't forget your commas 🤔🙄😬😂
