    I was literally doing this in my office 5 seconds before I clicked this thread.

    We live in a simulation.

        my 6th grade teacher always said “you’ll never make $50,000+ a year sticking markers together”

        he was right. He never said anything about looking at memes.

    Field stripping pens is the only fidget toy that’s reliably worked to help me hold focus in meetings.

    Sorry, I can’t relate. None of those pieces have teeth marks. Like why even take it apart if you’re not going to chew on it?

      “I can chew on this piece, it goes inside and no one will see it, but if someone steals my pen, I can dramatically reveal the interior chewed piece and reclaim my property while everyone cheers for me and I’m finally accepted in the office as an equal.”

    With some pens, you can jam the spring between the button and the silver thing on the bottom right and the white thing next to it. Then jam it into the top of the pen with the ink stick until it sticks.

    Then press the button on the top of the pen and the white thing shoots across the room.

        For us it was strips of paper rolled up super tight and bent across a rubber band. We called them wasps and a well-aimed wasp could give you a sizeable welt.

    I’m secretly very glad when my son breaks one of his toys so I can take the whole thing apart. Children’s trucks with pull and release and worm gears are very complex!

    Everytime, and then the reason I have the pen out, to take notes or sign something actually comes up, I have to rush to put it together.

    What else was I going to do in class, listen to the teacher recite the previous grades lessons? Pfft.
