Groan tube
Not seen one of those in years
Probably banned for kids now because someone determined it would damage their ego or something. I always say the era of good toys ended when Tonka started making plastic vehicles. Somehow LEGO still got through the purging, barely. How a destroyer of feet still exists in today's fragile world is perplexing.
Ok grandpa.
Yeah, I'm old. I also had better toys than kids these days, and they don't even realize it.
Do you honestly think that’s because all the older toys got banned and not largely because toy companies sell whatever makes them the most money?
You played with toys as a kid? Back in my day kids worked. You little pansy
You had better toys because y’all’s generations sacrificed your children at the altar of capitalism.
Nah, Gen-X here. That's our parents and grandparents, brainwashed into the cult of Edward Bernays. The place was already doomed long before we got here.
The people currently fucking up everything right now in ways that boomers could only dream of are very much gen-x. The main exception being Zuckerberg who's already a millennial.
Well it's a good thing you're here to make sure they know then. Otherwise they might enjoy themselves without ever realizing.

Who hurt you?
A groan tube with a poor upbringing who turned to a life of crime
Legos did, apparently.

Anyone who brings up legislation to ban Lego withdraws once they realize that they may find a brick in their shoe one day.

This comment field taught me the name. I knew immediately the toy he meant, but I never knew the name. However, his spelling was one letter away from me calling it a dvorak-stick.

More Lemmy publicity!
The original Reddit thread in the screenshot, not this thread

Too too too much fried fooooood
this is ignoring the correct name for this toy which is the "NEEAAAWWG WOOOYYYG stick"
There's some kind of bird in the Faroe Islands that sounds exactly like this toy. I couldn't figure out what it was but I could hear it above me while hiking, it was delightfully bizarre

Love that guy's skits but I do feel like the sound was under-utilized/over-processed in this one. Reminds me I'm overdue for the annual/bi-annual rave I allow myself now that I'm old though, gonna have to find myself a sick one for after the vacations :p
