This was the centrifuge through which they distilled the kids worth giving a shit about.

Yes, I know centrifuges don’t distill. No, I will not be making any modifications. And, if you asked in your heart, you were probably the chaff spun aside by the Iron Dais of Judgment.

My school had one of those. One day we got the idea to tie one of the kids to it around his waist and make him run around to spin it. I still remember our teacher asking "where's Willy?" once recess was over, then looking out the window to see him desperately trying to untie himself.

There are 3 nearby, including one at a super crowded park. I think one is getting torn out though.

I remember we didn’t stop those for anybody. You want on? Sprint and jump. Want off? I still have a vivid memory of trying to get off one, being thrown outward, and getting a bar between the legs. Went to the bathroom and found blood in my underwear. Can’t believe I still walked home after that

That’ll happen after a solid meatspinning. Merry-go-rounds can be pretty dangerous too if you’re not careful.

Mums will not let their kids on it. Dads will spun it faster to teach their kids about conservation of momentum.

As a dad I once spun it so fast I made a kid throw up. It was awesome.

Dhar ,

I did that to my own son. He barfed in the car and I learned my lesson.

I only think of one thing when I see “Meatspin”. And I don’t want to search for it… But it gets You Spin Me Round stuck in my head…

Lemon Party conjures the same kind of deep trauma.

Me and the boys love a French 75

The cure for that is some goatse.

That was my spray in TF 2 for a while. Had to pay it forward, right?

Good times.

My old school “upgraded” it when we left… by asphalting around it.

If you had to work around the hateful little shits all day you’d be trying to look for low key ways to maim them too.

If you truly hate kids, this is what you have to do. Introduce dangers with plausible deniability.

How was I supposed to know the kids would use it to turn each other into meat crayons?

My knuckles still hurt from the memories of slamming those box scooters into each other before they started putting handles on them.

Knees are overrated.

My school had one on dirt. The panels were wood and had a hole in it. Finally, one day, we were playing and a kid’s foot went down there and got fucked up. He was like a rockstar coming into school next day with stitches and crutches.

Meatspin?

The nighmares, they’re coming back

OopsAllTwix ,

Are they comin’ right round?

Is that the Russian lathe video?

Got my first real concussion on one of those things. All I remember is that one minute I was flying off of it and the next minute I was at home and I had been there for several hours.

It’s a teleportation device.

Teleports kids to the ER

ouRKaoS ,

ER?

Look at you with your fancy “Healthcare” and “Insurance”!

We treated wounds via walking them off, and occasionally hiding behind a tree to sob silently so you didn’t get laughed at.

Here in Germany we optimized the process and just use these nowadays: stilum.com/…/flecto-Karussell-auf-einem-Spielplat…

We have both kinds in playgrounds around my house here in Norway. My kids like both, but the ones from the OP is vastly preferred. They get a lot more Gs in the one with the bars.

Trust the Germans to make childhood playground injuries more efficient.

Have you seen the videos using motorbike wheels to spin these things up?

RisingSwell ,

Whistlindiesel on YouTube put a jet engine on one

In my home village we have a much safer and much better version of it:

You can accelerate yourself by just pulling at the plate in the middle, meaning that everyone can have fun and you can probably get much higher speeds.

Back in my day, we walked for miles uphill in the snow to school, we rode the unprotected meatspin, broke all of our bones, and then we walked for miles uphill back home. Kids these days are so spoiled and pampered!!!

Gumbyyy ,

Meh, the constant threat of being thrown violently out into oblivion was most of the fun!

Mr_Blott ,

The moped plus roundabout was a thing a while back; maybe that’s why they disappeared?

Don’t swing on that one, Matt threw up on it.

A_Random_Idiot ,

I lost a tooth to one of these things.

To be fair, a bunch of teenagers were also involved, making it spin at about mach 87 before it smashed into my mouth.

Uncle Dave out there spinning the yeet machine up to 11.
