We could go on strike like when the confused (or meh i can't remember) reaction was added. Evreyone changed their profile pick to confused and posted in the " How can we make this site better" . We could do that with 💀

Why YOU should get into solving Rubik's cubes!

1. Theres a high chance you'll find it fun, and if you don't, a relatively low amount of time and money is wasted.

2. It's a very small investment: a few hours and less than $10.

3. It's a huge flex, as most people have convinced themself it's impossible.

4. Adding onto that, it'll feel like a momentous achievement once you solve it, as you too have likely convinced yourself it's impossible for you.

5. The hobby comes with a welcoming community, available to every demographic. For a great place to discuss, see "www.speedsolving.com".

6. There are so many things to improve at, so many things to learn, so many ways to engage with the cube, and so much more. Theres very likely an aspect for you.

7. It's relatively inexpensive compared to other hobbies! At most ~$20 is necessary, and that can get you very far, but if you want you can spend more. Altogether a single cube will never cost you more than £100. Most peoples cubes fall into the ~30-70 dollar range.

8. It's an amazing travel companion: It's small and light, and you could either put your whole attention to it, or simply use it to keep your hands busy (it functions REALLY well as a fidget!), or you could learn something new!

9. Beyond the standard Rubik's cube, there are many variants, and a LOT of stuff to explore, if thats your fancy.

10. Cube collecting is also far cheaper than most other collections, and involves 0 chance or luck; you'll almost always get what you purchased. You can also actually engage with your collection rather than just staring.

11. No solve will be the same, due to the plethora of combinations.

12. Competitions are fun with a friendly environment, and you don't have to be good to go.

Holy 2 and a half year wait
 
May I add the fact that this can be enjoyed by both boys and girls?
Most "toys" tend to favor either boys (cars, plastic hammers and related items) or girls (dolls, make up, and related items)
Cubes however can be enjoyed by both genders! It has no real theme to it! Just a challenge to either solve it or solve it well!
