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?

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.

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

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

I like banana flavoured milk too

[–] Mintyytea@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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)

Every so often I still indulge in the "don't step on the cracks" game while walking along the street :-)

[–] blackdragoness@kbin.social 1 points 1 year 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.

Pretending to use The Force to open automatic doors.

Sleeping with a teddy bear

[–] Binzy_Boi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

Minecraft, though i'd like to see a child tangle with GregTech xD

Blowing on dandelions and watching the seeds float away.

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?

[–] Ni@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] railsdev@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly being hyper and energetic all the time. Maybe it’s not necessarily childish but people are always surprised to learn I’m in my thirties because I don’t look/act like a lifeless zombie.

Childfree gang?

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 1 points 1 year 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)..

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

[–] marshadow@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year 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.

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

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