Get a Year’s Worth of Fidgeting Out of Your System With This Super Fidget Spinner

All right, listen. We admit the fad of fidget spinners has gotten a little out of hand these days. However, while not all of us subscribe to the idea that they offer any real help, we certainly don’t think ruining the world’s youth either. It’s a silly little gadget that–if we’re being honest–is a whole lot cooler than a lot of the stuff we had when we were little. That’s why this fidget spinner made from a bunch of fidget spinners is, frankly, kind of awesome.

A recent post on The Awesomer lead us to Louis Weisz, a YouTuber building a name for himself with videos of unique builds. And his latest is downright mesmerizing despite being a relatively simple construction With an order of fidget spinners and trip to Home Depot, Weisz combined the powers of the individual whirling toys to make one giant fidget spinner.

It results in a kind of geometric fractal spinner that is just a delight to watch (especially in slow motion). Seeing just these seven work so well together makes us think how awesome even more fidget spinners would look and we can’t help but be reminded of the kinetic sculptures we posted about early last year. We wouldn’t be surprised if art installations started to pop up with entire walls built out of combined fidget spinners. If they do, we’re going to be first in line to spin them all!

What are your thoughts on fidget spinners? Are they the evil menace some people claim they are? Or are they just a harmless toy and this generation’s slap bracelets? Let’s discuss in the comments below!
