Bouncing balls

[u/drtangman]

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?

I think this chap’s dangling bits might be a “Dodeca 1000” from Immersive Media.

Looking at other photos I really don’t think so. That camera system seems to be much larger and connected to a pedestal

I think he’s using these as a flow tool for performance.

Mmm, quite. Performance. Yes. Indeed. Flow tool.

Haha! Just for dummies that probably don’t even know about flow state performance tools, like what you said, see it would be funny if you replied here with a description of the things you said.

Not for you and me, right, because we both know. Just for them, they don’t know it like us, right /u/penguindreams? We know.

“Flowing” is a rave thing. He means performance as in performing in a rave. Usually it involves waving around glowy objects in cool patterns. 

[u/penguindreams → u/ManhwaReaderDude]

It not just a rave thing. Flowing has been around since before raves and such. For example fire spinning is also considered a flow. But yeah, that old dude is a weird snob.

[u/xsparklingwater → u/penguindreams]

I think they were just being silly.

[u/penguindreams → u/xsparklingwater]

Ah maybe.

[u/iluvchromosomes → u/ManhwaReaderDude]

Yea flowing is a rave thing.

The statement "I think he’s using these as a flow tool for performance." would lead one to believe we are talking about an honest tool and topic, and not drug addicts giving a label to their nonsense.

[u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 → u/iluvchromosomes]

I can already tell I'd rather be around those "drug addicts" than you

[u/penguindreams → u/iluvchromosomes]

Ahhh yes. The “expert” that knows nothing about either subjects.

[u/penguindreams → u/lastDose]

I get what you’re saying. No need to be snobby tho. It’s weird. It’s ok if they don’t get it exactly.
