So yeah. I'm sure people are going to get triggered by the spinners. But yeah. I have two of them. Though, IRL, I do in fact have a mild form of autism called Asperger's syndrome. In middle school and high school, I had to take a medication Strattera. I still have the very last bottle of them from when I stopped using them back in 2011 in my drawer. But even then, I still had an issue with fidgeting and having a slight lack of focus.
But yeah. The can of WD-40. When I got these two spinners, their ball barrings weren't all that great. it's expected with cheep spinning toys like this. But still, I wanted a nice glide to them. so I popped the caps off of the centers (the black one were just popped off, but the silver one were screw ons.) And then gently apply a little bit of the lube into the gaps leading into the barring housing.
The silver one was a little more exposed once I got the caps off. but I ended up making a slight mess when I spurted some of the lube directly into it with the straw. So when I did the black one, I sprayed a bit of it into a spoon and used that to gently drip the WD-40 onto the barring's housing where it had a slight gap into the barring's innards. Then I just gently gripped the inner ring and spun them for about 2 minutes each before putting the caps back on. And now they glide like butter.
So yeah. easy fix for cheep spinner barrings. Just gotta lube your balls, kids.
Also, I had to take a picture with my phone because apperently, my Sony Cybershot camera was TOO good. cause I took the picture first with that with them spinning. and the exposure is so quick, the spinners looked like they weren't even moving. so apperently. I needed to use a worse camera to get the shot I wanted.
Here's the Cybershot version. https://www.dropbox.com/s/udrnk77ir.....00135.JPG?dl=0
And happy mother's day to those moms out there.

I will keep that trick in mind. Also looked at the pic that looks still and the black one looks like something I have seen before but that silver one looks freaking sweet. Also I always used to get in trouble with teachers because I always had to be doing something be it twirling my pencil or something and they hated it for multiple reasons including the fact I told the teachers "I can't tell you why I have to twirl my pencil or do something because I don't know why myself. Perhaps it is a thing because I have ADHD."
The black one is the more traditional design that fidget spinners were made with. made of a solid dense plastic that actually has some good weight to it. the silver one is based on the "dragon-spinner" design when fidget spinners started becoming more as collecting items. sort of riding off the whole trend of that if a small gadget is getting popular, people will make special alternative versions of the same thing to get "collectors" interested.
Okay well I don't have a lot of money to go spend on extra stuff so I would have to use what I have like WD or triflow. I just figure if triflow works on bikes like on the chain maybe it could work on a spinner. But I might not do anything to mine for now and instead just go back to working on my dex and team in Pokèmon Sun and I should probably start playing more Sun and Moon with other people online since I have no added or local friends to play with and battle.
this one is more appropriate. x3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDKQW9P9fRA
