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.

      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 😅

    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.

    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)

    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 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.

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

      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.

      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 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.

      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.

    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.

    • 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.
