I think most millennials don't realize that there have been significant advancements in cube technology since you were a kid. Cubes look different now. And it's specifically to make speedcubing easier
@mcc I love my cube so much. I’m definitely not speedy at all but I’m chuffed to get under 90 most of the time. It’s a real good anxiety thing to have something I know I can achieve quickly
@mcc omg this reminds me of a delightful experience: A kid (maybe 12?) saw my Let’s Encrypt hoodie, gasped, ran over, and asked me to shuffle their cube for them. Just the purest and most wholesome thing.
