Ive practiced and done all sorts of useless tricks and games, but this is one I still do not "get" in any way. What do people find satisfying or like about it? I could see doing it for a day to get alright at it, but much beyond that I don't really find it all that impressive shaving off fractions of a second. It doesn't even seem like a great party trick because you need special cups with holes in them so they don't stick.
But I guess it does build up atleast some level of hand-eye coordination and dexterity. Which is utterly lacking in most of today's youth and educational worlds where using actual tools and making things by hand is viewed as "dangerous" by many, and only a small fraction of kids get into many sports, and all of our focus is on more abstract concepts.

Or the point of the games that are just nothing but how fast can you click like the paperclip games. some people just like different things. even when you ask, they just say they like it. dopamine hits maybe? better that than dope then I guess

- lelanthran 2y agoHonestly, that question could be asked about popular sports too ... exactly what thrill is there in beating some other team at kicking, bouncing or hitting a ball? They're all just games of dexterity in the end. No different from videogames, come to think of it.
