Literally amongst humanity's most useless contraptions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) But what is purpose? Video games serve no purpose, flavoured drinks serve no purpose, pets serve no purpose... Unless entertainment and distraction is a purpose, in which case fidget spinners have a purpose too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] over_clox@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Video games challenge the mind, flavored drinks might at least contain some essential minerals (like Gatorade), dogs warn and/or protect against intruders, cats chase away and/or eat rats, and even pet fish can be used to filter hydroponic gardening water. What's ya point? Fidget spinners are totally useless. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cam_i_am@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) How about they're just fun and people enjoy them?
