There is also a fidget spinner designed to give the baby ADHD!

You can’t give people ADHD, it’s not something you cook up.

I caught ADHD from my friend in highschool when we were making out in the storeroom before art class.

No child of mine will have fine motor skills or hand and eye coordination!

[–] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 68 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've heard of those referred to as "busy boards"

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 98 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

No they're a Chinese plot to have every child become sleeper agents who will then unlock your front door so a Chinese soldier can come in and poop in your toilet, move your salt and pepper shaker and mess with your pillow configuration on your bed.

My honest, hard-working American feng shui!

Where's the pill bottle cap and a BIC lighter? Those are skills kids born today will need when they grow up. Maybe like a bubble wrap sheet but with beer can ring pulls instead?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I want to know the origin... Did someone get sick of others stealing their lighter lol?

[–] Mad_Punda@feddit.org 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Seems likely to me that someone came up with that pun and also had too much time and some concrete.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

So you're saying it could be anyone from DIWHY?

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago
[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago

They need those skills in the US. Obviously not in China

[–] texture@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Remember when the broccoli farmers dumped a ton of broccoli in front of the White House?

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Does it come with a Covert Companion?

I hope they make a LOT of noise too, otherwise I'm not getting one.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The noise-making toys have a tendency to go "missing" in our house.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago

If you hate your friends partner, buy their kid a drum set 😉

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s actually pretty cool though

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Montessori boards are pretty great for toddlers yeah

[–] oce@jlai.lu 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] tomiant@piefed.social 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I went to Montessori and it was awesome. I got tons of memories from there even though I wasn't more than 4-6 years old, which is really saying something.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@piefed.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is that when they lure kids into the basement by promising them wine and then build a brick wall around them?

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No, you're thinking of "the cask of amontillado". Montessori was an old monastery south of Rome, which was destroyed by ravaging children in WWII.

Give one to a husky owner and tell them it's a dog toy 😏

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 points 1 week ago

Would absolutely not surprise me if this were true.
