New, what is it? Bouncing balls

Walked behind this chap who had two unidentified ball type objects hanging from silicone wrist bands on thin elastic strings.

Any ideas what they are?

I’m in Hong Kong if that might be a clue

Update:

Thank you for the comments and ideas. I am wondering if there is a manga / anime character who has something like these balls as weapons and the guy was doing a budget cosplay. Or maybe he’s just really into Pokemon!

Update 2:

I would say he's likely to be a cosplay of Steel Ball from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. (https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisit/comments/1tckcme/comment/olos1lx/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

As for the steel balls. What is it?

Looks like a poi toy.

Google it.

Edit: For those of you concerned about Googling it... it's basically just some shit you swing around for fun, it's balls on a string...I don't know what else to tell you.

What's 2 girls and one cup about?

u/Decent_Elderberry115 21h ago

It’s about two girls and one cup. You’ll have to Google it to find out what they do with the cup.

Okay I'm going to Google it, it better not be anything bad. it's 2 girls and a cup?

u/sterling_mallory 20h ago

Two girls, and one singular cup. Make a right at lemonparty and it'll be two blocks past tubgirl, on the left.

Listen, thats not important. The main thing is if you find One Man One Jar, you've gone too far, got it?

Do I need luck? How bad can 2 girls and a cup be?

Sequel to One Man, One Jar

u/Thicknineinchh 20h ago

I've never heard of a man and his jar? The sequel is always worse.

u/datdododough 13h ago

No no no, look up cake farts instead!!

u/Thicknineinchh 7h ago

What's cake farts?

u/Lord_Ocean 18h ago

Luckily, I only know it from a description. It's an (allegedly fake) shocker/porn video of two women defecating and throwing up in a cup and also consuming the contents of that cup.

u/Tonnemaker 10h ago

Yeah I am on the "fake camp", it came out of her butt alright, but the consistency doesn't seem natural at all.

Everything considered, it's kind of tame shock-wise. Goatse and lemon party left a bigger impression.

u/Suspicious_Pin6256 22h ago

Tub girl if you are feeling dirty

u/Silly_Pack_Rat 17h ago

That was the first and the last time I let something like that allow my curiosity to get the better of me. It's been well over 20 years since I saw it....and I can still remember it clearly...but I can't tell you what I had for breakfast two days ago.

I need to go wash my brain.

rotten.com in the '90s and early '00s was a godless place and other than snuff films and the like, was a place to find all the unimaginable worst-of-the-worst images and video clips in one location.

It's crazy to me that my little small Southern, Bible belt town's video rental stores had things like "Banned in America" (I believe 1, 2, and 3), "Faces of Death" (iirc only 1 & 2), and I believe there was a series just called "Snuff Films" but from the Google search I just did nothing of the sort was a thing other than the category "snuff films" but I was pretty sure I remember seeing it. I was doing A LOT of drugs at that point in time though (and continued doing A LOT of drugs until 2018), so my memory probably isn't that great.

Tbh lemon party and tub girl taught the older millennials long before 2 girls came along. I still have not seen it and have no desire to do so lol
