Terrible/funny cubing ideas thread

[Michael Wimberly]

A thread for making terrible suggestions and ideas for rubik's cubes. I'll go first:

Magnetic gear cubes
Oil-based lubricant
Plastic screws and springs (They won't rust)
Square pyramid cube (Like a pyraminx but one face is a square)

I'm sure y'all will have worse ideas, post them in this thread!

If you use too much ig
I am thinking of just a drop or two and let it spread by itself during a few solves

Get a Gan 17 and flip all the magnets so they repel then add some oil from your local Mcdonalds fryer
