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.
Me too!
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 😅
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…
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!
😅 Coloring books. Dino nuggies. Chocolate milk. Cartoons. Plushies. Fairy tales.
Also, ATLA is amazing no matter what age you are 🤩
Switching song lyrics for immature lines.
sound effects with my mouth…engine noises, explosions, etc
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 like avatar as well. I watch it and Digimon occasionally… and I love YA books as well.
Words like fart, poop, boobies, etc.
- 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.
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
Dino shaped chicken nuggets
Been thinking about getting the McCain smile fries at the store for a while now. Do you ever get weird looks from the cashier, or do they not care?
They don’t care, at worst they just assume you’re buying them for a kid. It takes a lot more than that for a cashier to even notice.
So go get some smiles, those things are delicious.
Got into Lego again a few years ago. It definitely has changed a lot since I was a kid in the previous millennium.
