I wonder if this trend of "Kidults" (as in adults buying toys or having other very "child-like" hobbies and preferences) is fueled by how little pathways to joy we leave to adults so many revert back to when Ninja Turtles made them happy.

If you actually like toys or Cartoons or whatever, go apeshit. (I also love me some Invader Zim and other things). But It feels a bit regressive when the only path to joy is leading backwards and not in the present or the future.

@tante what would "proper" growen up fun and joy be?

And I explicitly don't think of a week in Vegas with breakfast lines, black jack and hookers.

@TheOneDoc "proper" is a weird term. Painting "for fun" should be a thing but we've structured adulthood that you have to defend doing those kinds of things (instead of "productive" things)

@tante hmm if one likes painting that sure can be fun but so can anything one likes to do.

maybe it's really just the other way around.

There is so much kids can't do that is fun.

Personally I always liked traveling and performing. Can't do neither these days 😞

Oh and I used "proper" because there is no such thing.

We should definitly not look for a social consensus when it comes to fun.
