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.

Through trauma, all things are possible

I think they confused ADHD with autism.

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

[–] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 71 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 101 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (6 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!

Those are all things my kid does without the help of a third party.

[–] halfdane@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Or so you think - dun dun duuuuun

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?

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 41 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

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

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

Does it come with a Covert Companion?

[–] prex@aussie.zone 12 points 2 weeks ago

"Click out of one..."

Baby's first Master Lock.

Gotta teach them young that Master Lock is shit.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] vrek@programming.dev 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It’s actually pretty cool though

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Montessori boards are pretty great for toddlers yeah

[–] oce@jlai.lu 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] tomiant@piefed.social 12 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

Would absolutely not surprise me if this were true.
