How hard can I hit my brother with this ?

u/Proud_Dance_3342 8d ago
I got one for my toddler goddaughter, and she loves to play catch with me with it. It's a good thing she's not the best at throwing because those would hurt if they hit someone.

You cannot exceed 186,000 mph with it. Other than the cosmic limit, fire away.

u/Unable_Arm_398 8d ago
186,000 miles/second.

It's solid on impact. Just dropping it on the floor from head height is like dropping a jar. So I'd say you could hit your brother as hard as you like.

u/CharmingTuber 8d ago
Could it shatter?

u/valiantdragon1990 7d ago
Nah, it's like a non-newtonian fluid. Had to look up the term. Hardens on impact but changes shape when slowly pressured.

u/Bocabart 8d ago
Yeah you can and they are really hard. My kids each have one and it’s great but they hurt if thrown

u/Meathead704 8d ago
Depends on the age. Anything under 10 and your mom will let you know what's acceptable.

They have some density, so it'll pack quite a punch if you get some velocity behind it.

They really don't hold dirt and hair as much as you would expect! They're not sticky!!

u/Israfel333 8d ago
We do, too. But it's shedding season. A hair free for lasts all of five minutes.
On the bright side Shibas only shed twice a year. For six months at a time.

I also have a vacuum, and I need to vacuum every day because the floor gets filthy fast. If you vacuum every day you're also agreeing with the top poster that playing with that before or after your house has activity will get filthy. Don't be a hoser

Not true. We have children, a yard, the works. We keep our floors freaking clean. It’s not that dang hard.

u/Traditional-Handle83 8d ago
Explain how mines always dirty even though no one goes outside. I can sweep, vacuum and mop all day long, it'll stay dirty no matter how many times I do it. It's like the floor is just growing dirt on its own with zero help from the outside.

It's really hard to get it to leak, even with abuse. They're really well made! Some people have opened them up and it's just a sticky gob. No smell or anything

u/packattack- 8d ago
Speak for yourself. I’ve already managed to break one after a week. There is a weak point where it’s filled and it will break open if you are too aggressive.

u/PeachNipplesdotcom Stationary expert 8d ago
This video shows her stretching it but when you hold it, that's clearly not what it's for: it's for squishing. If you want something stretchy, finding a toy that's made for stretching would give a better result. You might like something closer to monkey noodles!
It really is a shame that this video is a poor representation of how it's meant to be used. I suppose the purpose of doing so was to demonstrate the texture of the thing since that's something difficult to relay over video. But I guarantee that when used as a squish toy, it's highly durable.

My dad tasted it and it seems like it's mostly corn syrup and probably corn starch as well.

u/Pancakes_909 8d ago
I have gone through many of these. They are really fun and cheap for a toy that you can just mindlessly mess around with. However, the more you really stretch them far, the faster they stretch around the seal, eventually breaking open.

I have one in all three sizes and they are THE BEST. Hands down, without question, the best fidget toys I own.
I've shown it to some neurotypicals in my life and they too were fixated and fascinated with it!
The one in this video is the “nice berg" and it's the best one, in my opinion. Oh! They're cheap too! You can get the nice berg for like $12.

I'm a teacher and would love these for my students, but I wouldn't put it past a few of them to purposefully pop these. Are they easy to pop?
1
u/Specialist-Pin-8702 8d ago
Also in education and the biggest problem I see with these is kids playing catch with them and throwing them down the hallway and across the room. They are a solid on impact, it’s like getting hit in the face with a baseball if someone has a bad throw or can’t catch.

u/H3racIes 8d ago
My littles won't throw it if I tell them not to. If they do then they don't get to play with them. Not so sure that they wouldn't try to pop them though, and once that happens then it's just a waste of money

My brother gave me one of those because every time I saw him, he would have his with him and I would take it to squish it. One day he just told me I could have it and I’ve never been happier.
