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.

      There is nothing childish about snow. Especially since in some parts of the world, we’re the last generation that gets to enjoy it at all

      I got to play in snow for the first time the other day. It was fantastic :)

      (Early 30’s)

      Mine isn’t snow, but it is connected. As I can’t resist stepping on crunchy ice while walking. That crunch is just so satisfying.

    Metro. Train go underground, yay! Probably helps that where I’m from they’re pretty tidy.

    Mechanical items being repaired. It didn’t work as it was supposed to, now it does, magical, you healed it! (Sometimes it’s even me being the magician.)

    Stone paths. I was hiking in a large state park recently and came on a stretch of path that a seriously skilled stonemason built. It was beautiful. I stood there for ten minutes looking at how perfectly they matched the stones together.

      About a month ago I planned an entire day trip to the Living Desert Zoo in Palm Springs for me and my husband. I got to feed a giraffe and pet a rhino. I was so freaking happy!

      A few years back my mom wanted to take a day trip to San Diego to sight see, I told her, the only sight I want to see is the Zoo so that’s where we went. I go to the zoo in every state I visit, big or small.

    I like exploring old buildings like churches and hotels. I feel like architecture has been optimized so much to fire codes that most modern buildings have pretty boring layouts. But older buildings are completely batshit in their designs sometimes. Like woah there’s a second little staircase down here that goes to a single room not accessible by anywhere else, or just random little hallways to nowhere. Also secret little closets everywhere, it’s way more fun.

    Vehicles used in a fictional setting in an unconventional way. Sky pirates in a wooden ship for example, or space trains, etc

    In-universe lore. Of any franchise or story really. I love good world-building. Even if it’s just some funny details or references.

    You can imagine the first time, as a kid, watching a marvel movie and recognising Stan Lee, I was very excited. Little did I know this was a running gag.

      I kind of assume everyone has, but if you haven’t read Terry Pratchett, his books are absolutely chock-full of lore, detail and references, some of them so obscure that I haven’t actually got the joke for years.

    I still get really excited every time I get on a plane. Like it’s so cool. Giant flying machine transports hundreds of humans in the sky.

    I love going to the toy aisles in stores or to toy stores with my daughter. I don’t even have the excuse of looking to buy something for her anymore because she’s 13. We both just love looking at toys. There are so many cool toys. Also, so many toys to make fun of.

    Dragonflies! They’re so cool. Their wings are amazing and it’s like they’re nature’s small attack helicopters. The body is colorful.

        I saw two dragonflies on top of each other and my girlfriend goes “it’s killing it!” and I am like “nah that’s probably them having sex”… I look over and the dragonfly is probably 35% done eating the other dragonfly head. Gf was definitely right on that one…

        I know, right? They’re awesome!

        I’m just happy not to live in a world with dragonflies any larger. Dragonflies the size of a rat would probably be dangerous for most pets, and by the size of a cat you’d be waking up with a dragonfly eating your arm.

        At this scale though they’re just awesome. I have some wetland on my property, so it’s quite often in the summer, that I’ll drop what I’m doing and just wander off after a dragonfly.

    Setting up a new computer.

    Something about wiring it up, setting up the environment and configuring the desktop to do just what I want is a lot of work, but so rewarding!
