✏ Rules

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
  2. No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions

Anyone who gives my kid a mini bricks model needs to be kicked in the dick. How the hell are these things popular?

The pieces are minuscule and all 500 come together in a single bag. Then the instructions are shit so you have to sit there and try to decipher what the fuck goes where, then find the tiny little fucking piece you need which will take an eternity unless you spend 40 mins sorting them. Then when you go to put it together they’re so damn small it’s impossible not to break the model unless you are an adult in a baby body. Who the fuck designed these, Benjamin Button?

By Allah whoever designed these abominations must be put to the sword. Fuck mini bricks and anyone who buys them and ESPECIALLY fuck anyone who gives one to my kid.

Aren't they just Legos? Those never really went away.

No they are definitively NOT legos.

Imagine a Lego set but the pieces are 1/6 the size, there’s 500 pieces in the set, they all come together in the same bag and instead of a 20 page instruction booklet you get one sheet front and back with 8 steps.

THAT is what this is. These are cursed, upside down world legos

wow... they still make those? That's my 80's kid nostalgia right there.

That and the blocks dont even hold together, I got a construction vehicle kit and it falls apart if you look at it wrong lol. I guess the redeeming part is that they cost like, a dollar for a small kit compared to legos which are crazy expensive now

Why are you putting it together? It’s for your kid.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

It’s child abuse to ask a 7 year old to put this together alone
