I could make mine go down exactly 2 stairs.

I would love slinky guys to come hang while I was playing pool

HAPPY SLINKY DAY!!! 🎉

(August, 30th)

I’m pretty sure this is cgi because there’s no way a slinky can do that stuff.
What does a slinky do? 1. Get tangled in itself 2. Get tangled in other toys and/or people 3. As the op states, go down two stairs and stop. But only when it is brand new 4. Get unrepairably bent when you let anyone else play with it.

Also don’t let people play with your stretch Armstrong…. They will rip his arm off… 🤦🏻‍♂️

How is it that not a single person in that pool hall is watching this?

[-]

Daped01@reddit

Seems fake to me, that could be why 🤷🏻‍♂️

Those are fucking wizards.

Zelengro@reddit

Wait. Slinkies were meant to do more than stairs?

[-]

FLAMBIBULA@reddit

I thought they only got tangled up after one afternoon playing with it.🙀

Find a partner, play with both kinds of waves. With a proper metal one, put one end to your ear and drop enough so that it nearly hits the ground, hear a whole sci-fi battle. Just "juggling" it hand to hand could be practically meditative, soothing.

CoyPowers@reddit

If I find a partner, I'll no longer need a slinky.

[-]

brakeb@reddit

or, you know, could get out of the way and let people play pool...

chronicerection@reddit

We're probably looking at the difference between a $5 slinky and a $300 one.

[-]

myfrigginagates@reddit

The only trick I could perform was getting my Slinkie caught n my sister's hair.

[-]

ONROSREPUS@reddit

why do I feel this was on purpose?

[-]

Curiousone_78@reddit

This must be a different type of slinky. Mine was slow, metal and rusty.

[-]

PaulRuddEatsBabies@reddit

The Ogre inside me is yelling "NERDS!" But it's 2025 now, I'm better than that...

Deep breath.

honestrade@reddit

I bought one for my daughter but could only make it go down like 5 steps max lol.

[-]

_Geralt-of_Rivia@reddit

I've never had one last long enough to try anything but stairs. Then it became a knot of metal.

[-]

Ctendall@reddit

Somewhere there’s a pile of tangled slinkies

[-]

jikt@reddit

The Ocean.

Ctendall@reddit

I meant from just these two not everyone

Jacgaur@reddit

Is this the new Yo-yo crazy of today

[-]

dishwasher_mayhem@reddit

Mine tangled just watching this

[-]

ezhammer@reddit

This is how string theory was discovered.

[-]

tijuanagolds@reddit

How is nobody in the background even remotely curious of their slinky magic?

[-]

bikeonychus@reddit

That is the thing that makes me think that this is either AI, or these guys are known for being insufferable show offs or something.

Too busy watching Bruce Lee lay ping pong with nunchucks

These two look exactly how I'd imagine poolhall slinky trick masters to look.

Never had a slinky. Always wanted one.

Remember your friend who could make them go down three? This is him now.

higglesworth@reddit

How in the hell do you decide you want to be a slinky wizard, and then how do you devote your life to the dark slinky arts???

[-]

woolsocksandsandals@reddit

And how the hell do three of them end up in the same place at the same time?

[-]

P1xelEnthusiast@reddit

I only see 2 people in the dark arts of slinky-ing?

[-]

woolsocksandsandals@reddit

Exactly

[-]

peloquindmidian@reddit

Maybe they're hired by one of the pool players to distract their opponents?

[-]

higglesworth@reddit

Right??? Gotta be a meetup group

FriedBreakfast@reddit

I had part of a slinky. I straightened it.

I can totally do that, too. I just don’t feel like it.

CaptZombieHero@reddit

Two stairs? Checkout Mr Physics over here

MCA2142@reddit

We only got the steel slinky, and I don’t think you can do these tricks with a steel one.

My friend had a fancy rainbow iridescent one, but it was still made of steel.
