As an adult, what seemingly childish things do you get excited about? - eviltoast

I love bridges. If I see a cool looking bridge, I want to cross it, especially if it goes somewhere that I’m not familiar with. Same with stairs outdoors. They feel like an adventure to me.

      I feel that. I bought one of those gel bead shooters the other day, just on a lark.

      It is glow in the dark. The gel beads it shoots are also glow in the dark. It’s got a pair of UV LED’s in the magazine that charge them up before it fires them. It’s great; like your own little stormtrooper laser blaster.

      It was only $40. I would have shoveled so many driveways and mowed so many lawns to be able to afford that as a kid.

        I used to be into Nerf blasters when I was younger, into my teens I would remove the air restrictors and change out the springs, other various performance modifications.

        I recently discovered the Adventure Force Aeon Pro, which is an off brand blaster that seems to be marketed for that demographic, and it certainly delivers. Playing with it practically makes me giggle.
