Out of respect for the mod, I won't share the private conversation, but I did repost my AmA here after they gave me some direction wrt the rules!

Which rule did he break?

lol. I'm a metal worker.

My criticism; Companies are purposely making a material (that gets more hazardous every year) universally known for being trash, into a crappy product that would've come in a cereal box 30 years ago and markets it to parents under the guise of engineering enrichment.

Lead paint is probably the reason your panties are in a twist now, that's why we don't use it for kids toys anymore.

... genuinely what? Because I exist in a capitalist system and require phone access to live I am a "hypocrite"? Ah yes. Let me give away my phone. I'm sure the hospital, my patients , my family, and my friends won't notice because I've got to be an ideological extremist for some guy named "muhnyourdog" doesn't understand the concept of top down vs bottom up change and when each is most appropriate.

If you posted this comment from a consumer device, you're already a fucking hypocrite.

Glorious. Can guarantee rhe Tinker Toy I played with as a kid weren't ethically and sustainably sourced. Nor did the tees have a gender identity or preferred pronoun.

Out of idle curiosity, may I ask you do for a living?

While I think our quality could be better (I'm a Brain Flakes perfectionist), we have 4.8/5 stars on Amazon which is pretty good for a plastic toy on Amazon.

Try our product. If it breaks, report that on reddit or e-mail support at viahart dot com and we'll give you a refund without a return.

I was knocking tinker toy knock offs. Seems like we had perfect engineering toys growing up but all these companies are making them from cheaper materials and redesigning them to be shittier than the OGs; Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, Erector Sets.

Engineering toys can be great and made from better materials; Brain Flakes are trash that will eventually break down enough to fit into your bloodstream.

Fuck off. Tinker Toy is okay to an extent - I can't tell you how many wooden dowels I've filed down so it fits.

It doesn't do a lot for people that learn through tactile interaction.

That's cool! If he can play Lego and meccanno he can definitely use Brain FLakes too!

Thank you that means a lot to me, I'll share with our team!!

Mu son is blind, so something like this is seriously brilliant.

Fucking elegant in the simplicity!

We have a house full of Lego and mechano and a million other things, but nothing like this.

Good on you guys for doing this shit

I won $16,000 in a chess tournament, had a little bit of money saved up from a job, and I lived in China (very inexpensive) and with my mom (free!).

So I didn't need any.

I appealed it!

How'd you find investors, if any?

It's just plastic tinker toy trash marketed at kids.

Thank you!!

Holy fucking shit that is awesome! You guys are fucking amazing, it's tactile and spatial and brilliant!

Yeah, seriously, go!

It's one of my favorite things about ATX!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

Amazon just launched. They might get better over time no?

I think Brain Flakes is available on Amazon and Catch down under!

​

Brain Flakes is an interlocking plastic disc toy that teaches kids spatial thinking while giving parents some much needed peace.

Watch our awesome video produced by my team!

I have no idea what "brain flakes" are and Amazon is a pile of shit here in Australia.

I'm guessing either a breakfast cereal or a GM coating specification?
