@dafyre I don't know where that pic really came from, but that is a sawn-off "Rock Band" drumstick with a silly metal plate jammed on the tip and dents cross-drilled over the edge of it or something. You can see the "R" from where it says Rock Band. lol
It's a pic of a little kid's toy that he wrote a story about.
I have no idea what it does to be honest. I just though the kids version of it was funny.
When you use the other non-ribbed drumstick on it by rubbing it up and down, it causes vibration to go up the drumstick and make the metal piece spin.
By holding the drumstick a certain way, you can cause the spin to reverse because it changes the wave of the vibrations.
Did you guys never have one of these as kids? I did in the 70's.
I have never seen one before this, and I was pointing out that this was obviously homemade. I was also questioning the link between the story and the photo. The story seems legit, but did this pic actually belong with the story, or was it some random image found with Google that was attached to it? You just can't be sure anymore. If you are familiar with such a thing, I guess that makes a decent confirmation that the "vibrate stick" in the story is actually this fluted drumstick with a metal plate jammed onto it. Who would have guessed? lol

@art_of_shred I remember those. One of those things little kids used to get or make. Just a cheap country toy. Never saw many of them but I definitely remember these from early elementary school days.

I played drums, so if I had drumsticks, they were just that: drumsticks.

@nadnerB I cannot upvote that enough.

I actually used to manage a fast food restaurant that got some staff from a prison release program. Those were the best employees.

McDonalds tells me I'm under qualified to work there.

you know where it got its name?

No idea.

It was the 40th formula attempt at a water-displacing agent. Hence, WD-40.

Weird. Can't believe how well that silly name worked out for them.
Model T was similar. Completely useless external name.
