oogle has been known to insert quirky little games into its search engine depending on the occasion and current fads. With the most recent “in” thing being fidget spinners, it’s not surprising that soon enough, Reddit user “redditboston” posted about finding a virtual fidget spinner inside Google Search.
By Googling in the word “spinner,” users will see a window at the top of search results which shows a spinning virtual spinner.

Clicking on “SPIN” spins the virtual spinner which will eventually slow down to a stop. Users can click on SPIN as much as they like to increase the spinning speed.
Apart from the usual three-holed bearing fidget spinner, users can also switch to a number wheel. This wheel can be configured to have from two numbers up to twenty, by clicking on the upper right corner.
If guessing what number comes out is not your idea of passing the time, you could use it to draw lots between 20 people or less.
