For me, I’m nearly 40 and I really love Avatar the last Airbender, reading YA novels, and sometimes I make pasta with fun shapes, just because I can.
What do you enjoy?
Every so often I still indulge in the “don’t step on the cracks” game while walking along the street :-)
I literally did this just yesterday walking to the car from work. Then I had to figure out what actually constitutes as a “crack” and what is just a "purposeful indent’ in the sidewalk. I decided that the indents that separate the squares in the sidewalk do not actually count as cracks and its ok to step on those.
Yes, but you’re liable to break your dad’s spine that way.
It’s a habit at this point. Mentally I know it won’t break my mama’s back, but emotionally… emotionally, I -have- to step over it 😅
Me too!
Gotta protect your momma’s back!
I love avatar the last airbender too. I haven’t found a show like it since. Besides that, I still like anime (though less nowadays because of some sexist parts)
Pretending to use The Force to open automatic doors.
Oh, it isn’t just me then…
Got into Lego again a few years ago. It definitely has changed a lot since I was a kid in the previous millennium.
I also got back into Lego. I’m early 20s, so the sets of my childhood weren’t that different from what’s being made now.
But it is cool to finally have the Death Star and Millennium Falcon like middle school me fantasized about.
Riding on the shopping cart like a scooter
Yes! I get many looks. Here’s a late-thirties man with a bald head, gleefully grinning like a maniac while careening wildly down the parking lot aisle on a squeaky four-wheeled vehicle meant for vittles.
Late 20s here, same!
Switching song lyrics for immature lines.
Jingle bells, Batman smells…
🎶Robin laid an egg🎵
Jumping in puddles. I almost never get the chance anymore, but if I have boots on and there’s a puddle YOU BEST BE PREPARED
Yes. I can get behind this.
- Magic School Bus. To this day there are a dozen episodes that cross my mind all the time.
- What my father calls “crap pasta” — animal or cartoon shaped noodles in a sauce that’s 40% salt.
I thought there would be more, but nothing else is coming to mind.
Chocolate milk.
I was really bummed out when I developed lactose intolerance, but I was shocked by how good the Silk Dark Chocolate soy one was.
Also found some brands sell it lactose free here, but unfortunately they’re harder to come across in stores.
I like banana flavoured milk too
Sleeping with a teddy bear
I vaguely recall an article linked on the SITE THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED that something like 40% of adults sleep with a stuffed animal or comfort object
I should probably get one seeing how I often end up just hugging the blanket when I sleep.
Nothing wrong with sleeping with stuff animals.
You’re all just being human. You’re not childish, just being human.
I’ve been thinking about getting some stuff from my childhood again. I recently watched We’re Back on YouTube and while the movie is not great, it has a great charm, which has been making me think of getting the VHS tapes I used to have as a kid.
Aside from that movie, I’m also thinking of getting The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars, Anastasia, The Jungle Book, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
ATLA is awesome. Worth enjoying at any age.
I’ve got a decent collection of stuff animals. They’re nice.
😅 Coloring books. Dino nuggies. Chocolate milk. Cartoons. Plushies. Fairy tales.
Also, ATLA is amazing no matter what age you are 🤩
Chicken fingers 😣
