Of all the silly trends this one sounds very benign. They aren't hurting anyone. No one is bullied. They don't sound particularly loud or distracting to others not interested.
Coin boys, keep doing your thing. Even if I'm not into it, be the most awesome Coin boy you can today.
I'm going to bully them so this statement isn't true
Good luck. Coin boys live by the coin and die by the coin, or so I'm told.
Their terms are acceptable
I’ll need to flip on this.
That means that we should be able to get about 50% of them.
Kids have always had a thing. This is not new. When I was in school 40 fucking years ago, Christ I’m old, there was a yo yo phase, a rubber band / paperclip phase, a bloody knuckles phase. I’m sure more that I’ve forgotten.
Those little rubber domes that you can flip inside out and they pop up into the air
Ah yes. The horrible bruise generators
"Pencil Break" was the hot shit for about a year in middle school. This was right on the edge of when mechanical pencils started to replace wooden ones in school (not completely, I'm sure kids still use wooden #2s.)
It was stupid, but so many people would take turns slapping pencils together to see which ones would break. Obviously brand new pencils out of the box snap the easiest, while worn down nubs are impossible to break. The school eventually banned it and briefly flirted with banning wooden pencils after parents and teachers complained that all the really dedicated students had no writing instruments left.
Nation of geniuses over here.
At my school there was a group of students who would steal unattended pencils and hoard them in a huge pile in a hole in the woods behind the school. Eventually they got caught but for a while it was easy to make the excuse that you couldn't do schoolwork because the pencils were gone.
Yoyos got supplanted by hacky sacks during my school days.
slap bracelets
Koosh balls
I forgot about the bloody knuckles. You either got good at spinning a quarter, or you got good at taking pain.
There's a YT channel MrRebootFTW that Google fed to me where a guy goes through all of the old school tricks and how to do them. It's silly. Things like spitball guns, shooting paperclips or folded paper with rubber bands, rubber band guns with old mechanical pencils, and a bunch of other things. It's a fun nostalgia watch if you're into it.
Grade 1 in 2001 was Pokémon cards, next was Beyblades, then Yu Gi Oh. Grade four was Tamogachi, and I forget if grade 5 had anything.
At least it’s better than stealing cars or ripping sinks off the wall.
Just wait until the coin tells them to do both.
I'm afraid to ask what the second thing is...
Not sinks, but somee asshat in my high school wrecked two entire bathrooms, one boys one girls, by throwing a chunk of sodium down a toilet while it was flushing. The sodium exploded and blew all the toilets off the wall. This was back in 94-96.
That is amazing.
Best we had was some idiot who thought he could get away with smoking in the bathroom like the jocks in an 80's movie... Someone walked in, and he threw his cigarette butt in the trash can, where it started to smolder.
A lot.
All told, it was a pretty boring fire. No real damage, but the school was closed for a couple of days while they cleaned up the soot.
Some idiot in my middle school set the bathroom on fire somehow. It was the only time in my life I've done a real fire evacuation. Smoke everywhere! Teachers were freaking out.
Humanity is truely even dumber than it seems sometimes...
When you're forced to go to school in a cage and treated like you're simultaneously dirt and going to be the next president, it tends to make you hate school.
What is this, 1928 Boston?
Fuck Reddit and fuck Spez.
Hold on, let me flip the coin.
Okay, you're right. Fuck Spez.
power move would be to get one of those kennedy 50 cent pieces or a silver dollar and learn to do that knuckle thing
I used to do this with a french 5-franc coin back in the 80s. inspired of course by Real Genius.
Don't these fools know that with each flip they are creating new alternate timelines? This is extremely reckless...
You're telling me that someone who has been teaching for 10 years uses the abbreviation "s2g"?
Fuck am I that old?
Millennials are ~30-45 now, and we pretty much invented text abbreviations like that 🤷♂️
I'm millennial and have never heard of that one.
Swear to god
GenX’er laughing at the cute millennials that think we weren’t abbreviating shit on BBS forums and usenet.
And that radio telegraph operators weren't using three letter Q-code shortcuts since the early 1900s.
Right? People have been lazy forever.
laughs in court transcript
Shorthand has always been around. Writing is still slower than speaking or thinking
Harvey Dent energy.
Can we trust him?
As someone who loves random chance, I would gladly take that over them filming themselves on social media committing crimes like the average teenage t|kt0k user loves to do from what I hear, I swear.
How unoriginal and droll. Let us know when they can confidently predict 95% of their coin flips and then I might be interested.
They must love this guy then.
I have to say, I kind of dig this.
When I was a kid all we did was wear nWo t shirts and play Pogs
