    In my day all we had to play with were heavy rubber balls that we would hit with our hips. I’ve heard Teotihuacán doesn’t even have a ball court, yuppies!

    Pretty sure they’re wheels. You could put a leash on it and drag it as if you’re walking a dog.

    A cursed object! Those circles obviously represent the disc of the sun and the animal is a demon stamping it into the sea. I recommend anointing your eyes with the blood of a sacrificial bull so they don’t get possessed by ghosts. We all remember what happened last time.

    I think it’s a toy meant to warn children about the hazard of leaving rolling objects underfoot. Imagine how fast you’d yeet off if you accidentally stepped on one of those rolling discs!

  • What are at the bottoms of its legs?

    A pox on our society! They’re a crutch! Kids spend so much time on these things, and they never learn to walk or run properly! Why, back in my day, a man could run all day using only his feet, and travel all the way to the next village! Now with these “wheels,” kids are lazy. Sure, they get there faster, but they’re stuck on the roads and can’t travel through the jungle.

    They’re all going to grow up with atrophied legs and soft, squishy feet. It’s a corruption of society, I tell you.

    They should be banned.

      And don’t even get started on the weird coverings they wear on their feet. “Aww the ground is so hard” they complain.

      Bunch of soft-footed wimps.

    It looks like a flat boulder that’s been tied down somehow. Probably been cursed by the gods. Avoid them.
