I honestly do not know the difference between and a stim toy and I usually use the two terms interchangeably.

My favorite fidget toys is my flippy chain. I use this thing all the time and take it with me everywhere. And I love that it's discreet and quiet.

What's your favorite fidget toy, or thing yiu like to fidget/stim with?

Rubik's cube. It's an algorithm you can memorize over the course of about a week at which point it's mostly muscle memory but it holds attention a little better than a fidget spinner.

What are your typical fidgeting algs? Mine are:

  • R U R' U'
  • M' E' (holding the cube diagonally)
  • U R' F R
  • U-perm

Other than U-perm, theses are just random moves that feel nice and cycle relatively quickly. Ive forgotten many of the PLLs, but I remember that some of them felt really satisfying

Nah I just solve it for the most part. Sometimes if I really need to stretch my brain I switch which side is the "white."
