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 :-)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

Switching song lyrics for immature lines.

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!

sound effects with my mouth....engine noises, explosions, etc

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

😅 Coloring books. Dino nuggies. Chocolate milk. Cartoons. Plushies. Fairy tales.

Also, ATLA is amazing no matter what age you are 🤩

ATLA is awesome. Worth enjoying at any age.

I've got a decent collection of stuff animals. They're nice.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Got into Lego again a few years ago. It definitely has changed a lot since I was a kid in the previous millennium.

Sleeping with a teddy bear

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Nothing wrong with sleeping with stuff animals.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I should probably get one seeing how I often end up just hugging the blanket when I sleep.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I am a 38-year-old adult and I love Tamagotchis. Also Pokemon, anime, comic books, stickers, sitting on the floor, and using the shower wand as a microphone.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm quite childish. Still play video games, still watch cartoons more than live-action shows, still eat (now sugar-free) candy. What's going to happen? Are the grown-up police going to break into my house and demand that I turn in my adulting license and my pubes?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Skipping rocks. If I'm near a body of water and there's a flat stone anywhere near me in 100% skipping that thing. This never gets old

You're all just being human. You're not childish, just being human.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I like avatar as well. I watch it and Digimon occasionally.. and I love YA books as well.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Cartoons/ animation. I'll never grow out of it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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

Love this topic! I'm with you on the YA novels, sometimes I just like an easier read, and does loving Harry Potter count?

Doing engine sound with my mouth

My son bought me a flamingo squishmallow and it’s the best!! Also, Pokémon Go

Chicken fingers 😣

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

There's a lot of things. One easy one is I enjoy coloring in. And I really like teddy bears.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

My daughter has a stuffed fox that I genuinely like to cuddle with when she lets me.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Stuffed animals in general are dope.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

There's a distinction between child-ish and child-like. So far I haven't seen anyone say they enjoy anything child-ish (except maybe alternative song lyrics?), but all the lovely child-like responses warm my heart. I eat "sugar cereal" for dessert. Because I'm an adult and I can. Also, I make up silly songs all the time and talk to myself and my cats in silly voices.

Lemmygrad is a marxist-focused instance and Hexbear is currently making the migration to mainline Lemmy right now.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hurtling towards 30 so a youngun in your books.

But i like to whistle random melodies in public, communicate in weird noises with my partner at home, read YA fantasy (mistborn, assassins apprentice)..

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I actually just started watching Avatar for the first time and I'm 35. Also been playing a game called Rumble. It's just like being an earth bender. Super fun, and I'm also really enjoying the show. I think I'll moved on to the legend of Korra after I finish.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Disneyland.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I enjoy shirking my responsibilities and doing nothing, if I can help it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Taking things apart and then ruining them. Had my girlfriends oldtimer out for a year because of that. Fixed it but she never looked at me the same way again. Hahaha
