For me, it’s sticking my hand out of the window of a moving car. Whether I’m driving or not, I love having the windows down and waving my hand in the wind. I’ve loved it since I was a child and I’ll never stop doing it!
I still ride my loaded grocery cart down the parking lot to my car after each trip. It’s the little things in life.
On a similar note, they make healies in adult sizes. Got a pair for my 21st as a gag gift, and ended up using them to walk my dog all the time. He’s a lil guy, but hes a dense 15lbs of muscle and he could pretty easily pull me up to that “oh shit” speed.
I remember there being a guy in one of my college classes who’d roll down the aisle of the lecture hall on healies to his seat everyday. What a legend.
Wait…adults don’t do this? Shit, my parents always did, and I do because it’s faster than walking xD
You’ve got the wheels right there, no reason not to use them.
Work smarter not harder.
Hell yeah! I thought I was the only person who did that. It’s fun and efficient.
I love skating in the parking lot with an empty shopping cart! But since I had a little unhappy accident I’m a bit afraid of using a cart full of groceries.
I don’t trust people who don’t do this at least once per shopping trip.
Walking/balancing on curbs, retaining walls, downed trees in the forest - pretty much anything.
I did that 5 minutes ago when I went to get lunch… Sometimes I worry people will think I’m a kid
Just say you’re doing parkour ;)
Yeah, I do that too.
Yup. Do that too like when I’m walking through a parking lot or something. Keeps me feeling young!
It’s not that often that I’m in a car I’m not driving anymore, but when I’m a passenger you can bet your ass I’m imagining a little ninja dude running along side the car, doing sick ninja flips over stuff on the side of the road.
For me it’s a skateboarder. Doing kickflips into grinding the rails and using the environment as ramps and obstacles. Tunnels suck.
Same, but for me it’s a BMX bike.
Dune buggy
Sonic
Beat me to it bro
I thought I was the only one that did this! Glad to know there are others out there!
ITT: people climbing their stairs like a 4 legged animal
I have summers off from work (am a teacher), which I COULD be using to get tons of errands done, renovating the house, working out, etcetc. However, I am currently spending it sleeping in, playing too many video games, staying up late, crafting, reading, etc, which is exactly what I did during summer as a kid as well. It’s been nice :)
What kind of things do you craft?
Too many things, sporadically!
I tend to hop between different craft types randomly, depending on my current interest. But some of the ones I’ve enjoyed at various times the last year or so are crocheting (learning how to make little stuffed animals right now!!), watercolor and gouache painting, putting miniature kits together, origami, simple jewelry making, pottery, etc! :)
Depression
How whimsical…
Running up stairs on all fours, like a monkey I am 40 years old
Congrats on still being able to bend over at 40! I’m 2 years from 30 and everytime I bend over something pops lol.
If you’re not stretching daily, you’re gonna hate life. I’m also not stretching daily so uhhh do as I say not as I do? Lol
I can recomend to do just something easy. Find easiest and shortest routine (that lasts 2 minutes, literally) and do it in the morning.
Since I startet it, I feel much much better. It is not like full exercise, but at least muscles don’t hurt as much.
I do:
- Head and Shoulder Rolls x5 to each side
- Hip Circles:l x5 to each side
- Arm Circles x5 to each side
- squats x10
- some others similar warm up exercises when I feel like it (ex. malasana squat)
Idea is to move every muscle in my body. It is not hard, lasts 2-3 minutes but makes my day few percents nicer.
You should add in toe touches, everyone should be able to touch their toes without bending at the knees. I recommend bending you’re knees, touch your toes, straighten your knees out till you feel the stretch, hold for a few seconds, do like 10 times.
Me too bro. We all have a MONKE inside us.
It’s just more efficient!
The swings.
Some of my fondest memories are of swings. Not just from childhood either. I vividly remember an intense session in university, and another from only a few years back was special for a variety of reasons. And now, my daughter is just old enough to really start appreciating them. I don’t think I’ll stop swinging until I’m incapable.
I (38 m) still have a blanky I sleep with - mostly because my cat will only sleep in my bed if it’s there, she will (mostly) only sit in my lap if it’s there and she pretty much just hangs out in whatever room it’s in… Yeah… It’s her blankly, I’m just its mode of transport to make sure she hangs out with me.
It probally smells like you, so when you are there and the blankie is there, its like its 2x you, which is what she likes.
Sometimes when I drive into a roundabout I’ll do a couple laps just for fun

This is the most adorable thing I have read in a while
Way to brighten someone’s day with something simple. Super awesome!
I used to take the long route in the bus because it had more hills :)
I’ve never done this but reading this made me want to go do it next time!
Same! That roundabout happens to be right next to where we work on our racecar so it feels extra fun lol
Me and my wife (no kids) have recently decided to do the ‘stuff you enjoyed being a kid’ type outings. Such as dino parks, castles, zoos, theme parks.
If you are an adult having kids is usually how you end up in those places and we decided just to do those things for ourselves.
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever thought about your second point. That’s a pretty great idea!
Have fun! It’s even better if you can pay attention and don’t have to manage the short attention span of the kids.
I don’t think I ever really stopped being a child, cuz I still do pretty much everything I did when I was 10. lol
I watch cartoons, I play with toys (mostly Lego) and video games, I blow dandelions, I do the hand out the window thing in a car, I’ll dress up like a ninja and prowl around in the dark, etc.
Edit: Reading this a second time, makes it sound like I am Charlie from It’s Always Sunny…
I (47) still watch a lot of animation. Teen and up. Go back to Looney Toons now and again as well.
Me too… What surprises me is that I still enjoy them unlike other hobbies I had and lost the taste for.
I’m a stay at home dad so I’m constantly playing house and building towers so my kid can knock them down. Good stuff.
Laugh at farts, fart noises, fart jokes. Farts are funny heh heh
🐖💨
I developed very late. I didn’t start laughing at farts until my late 20s. I missed some good years.
My grandma is nearly 90 years old and still laughs at farts until she’s out of breath. Never gets old.
One thing I do that I have since I can remember is triple cut the slices on a frozen pizza so that each slice is a single bite. Makes the pizza extra good!
