21 Wholesome "Childish" Habits Adults Refuse To Give Up
Recently, Reddit user u/TroubleEarly7249 asked, "What's your 'I don't care how old I am, I'm still doing this' thing?"
So, according to adults, here are some of their favorite "childish" things that they'll never stop doing:
"Going down the slide when I bring my kids to the playground."
"I'll forever drink Capri-Suns and eat popsicles. My Asian immigrant parents say it's childish of me."
"Drinking chocolate milk."
"Enjoying silly little craft projects. I, for instance, find it relaxing to lie on my stomach on the floor and do Perler bead art in my spare time. Like these owls. I'm 33 years old and have been told I'm too old for this, but it's honestly like meditation to me after work."
"Whenever I move out to my own place, I'm gonna get myself a really nice wooden train set; playing with trains has always been so fun and calming to me, and I can't wait."
"Neopets! I don't have my account from my childhood, but I made a new one a few years back with the same animal Korbat (the mouse/bat) I had. It really relaxes me on my lunch break; I feed him an omelet while I eat as well.
"I'm 50, and I build houses in The Sims. No shame. Also, I'm currently re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia because everything's rubbish and I want to be happy."
"I always wear hair clips. I don't care about my age! Hair clips are fun! I will forever keep up with the glitters and the sparkles!"
"Dressing up how I want to and having fun with my hair, makeup, clothing, etc. I currently have red highlights in my hair, and I still feel badass at 39 years old."
"I will still sometimes get up at six in the morning on Sundays, sit in the living room, and watch TV while eating stuff that's technically not breakfast food."
"Having a 'kid's dinner' brings me so much joy. It's easy, it's tasty, and I can upgrade my drink to a white wine now."
"Video Games."
"I still enjoy stepping on crunchy leaves. There's something so satisfying about the sound and the feel. It brought me so much joy as a kid, and it still does as an adult."
"I still watch Arthur reruns! It's literally on PBS kids, but I still think it's hilarious and nostalgic."
"Sleep with my stuffed animal."
"Coloring. It's relaxing and gets me off my phone."
"Building Lego sets."
"Ballet. I hope to be en pointe by next year!!!"
"EDM shows. I will be the rave grandma one day!"
"Riding the shopping cart through the parking lot like it's a scooter."
And finally, "Blasting music in the car and singing my heart out. I don't care if I get weird looks."

Miley Cyrus Seemingly Addressed Signing Event After Ignoring Fans
Over the weekend, Miley Cyrus found herself trending after a number of viral clips appeared to show her ignoring fans at a signing event with Naomi Campbell in London, celebrating the vinyl release of their song, 'Every Girl You've Ever Loved.' For context, Naomi livestreamed the event on Instagram, so there are tons of different clips from the stream making the rounds online. And while some of the footage shows Miley and Naomi sharing sweet moments with fans as they lined up to get their vinyls signed, other parts of the livestream made it seem like Miley and Naomi spent more time talking to one another than engaging with fans. In one particularly awkward clip from Naomi's livestream, she and Miley can be seen chatting away to each other while a fan stands in front of them. When a photographer prompts them to pose for a picture, Miley seemingly glances up at the fan for a split second and half-heartedly poses, without so much as exchanging a single word with them before they walk away. A different clip, which has been viewed over 3.8 million times on X, shows another fan even looking a little confused by how little attention Miley and Naomi were paying her as she tried to interact with them. Needless to say, the videos like these were not received well. And people wasted no time criticizing Miley for seemingly failing to give some of her fans the time and acknowledgment they deserved. 'Wow! That's so inconsiderate & rude IMO,' one user wrote on Reddit, while someone else added: 'I'd be so disappointed if I waited in line for someone I was excited for just to be straight up dismissed and ignored.' They continued: 'I understand celebs can't be considerate of every fan that comes their way, but at a signing? Consider how you're making someone feel when you do something like that. That goes for everyone, not just celebs.''You can see the disappointment in the fans' faces when they realize she's not paying them any attention,' another user observed, as someone else branded the behavior as 'so inconsiderate and dismissive.' As Naomi's full livestream shows, not all the interactions were so awkward, and since the backlash, several fans who were at the event have spoken out to say that they still had a great experience. And now, with clips still making the rounds online, Miley has shared a post about the event on Instagram, in which she said that she and Naomi 'adored meeting' all the fans who showed up. '@naomi thank you for celebrating the Every Girl You've Ever Loved vinyl release day with me. Laughing with you is my favorite. I'll miss you until we reunite. Love you forever,' she wrote alongside a series of pictures and videos of herself and Naomi posing together. 'Thank you to everyone who showed up to the signing, we adored meeting you. If you missed it, get your life & our vinyl that's available now.' She did not make reference to any of the backlash, which I guess isn't all that surprising. But what do you make of this whole thing? LMK in the comments.

Millennials Are Sharing The Things We All Did 20 Years Ago That Would Make Any Gen Z'er Question Our Collective Sanity Now, And Oh Wow
I hate to break it to you, but we're officially closer to 2050 than we are to 2000. (Yes, that actually makes me sick just trying to wrap my brain around it.) And with time moving so quickly, tons of things that were completely normal in those days are completely obsolete now. Which is an equally hard pill to swallow. But it's always fun to reminisce on what life was really like in the 2000s, when life was simpler — and make fun of young people in the process. So recently on Reddit, people have been answering the question: "What's something people did instinctively 15 years ago, but now younger people don't even realize was a thing?" and the answers have unlocked some serious memories. Here's what people said: "Spending hours renaming and cataloguing an iTunes library ripped from LimeWire." "Carrying a Garmin or other GPS navigation device with you in your car." "Writing in cursive. I was at a wedding where the seating cards were written in cursive, and when I grabbed mine, I had three different younger couples ask me to find theirs." "'Instinctively'? Ctrl + S every few minutes." "Taking 500 photos on a digital camera on a single night out, and then uploading them all to Facebook in several separate albums." "Paying attention to the way you're going so you know how to get back. Or pay attention to landmarks. No one seems to do this anymore." "Downloading playlists to iPods or phones because streaming would destroy your data." "Set up a meeting point when going to a concert, and a fall-back position after the concert in case we get lost." "Travelling internationally without a smartphone, and hoping a friendly local is honest when you ask directions." "People don't know what it's like for weed to be counter cultural and criminal anymore. Kids don't know how to roll joints in legal states; they all get pre rolls. They don't know what it's like to drive 45 minutes outside of town to meet some 45 year old burnout dude playing with knives in the corner while he tries to spit a freestyle for you, and get you to smoke a blunt with him when all you want is your $35 1/8th of an unknown strain that he swears is some top-shelf med-grade shit." "Putting a CD into your car dashboard." "Taking off the head unit of your car stereo, putting it in its box, hiding it under the seat, and putting a wheel lock on, all before you leave and lock your car." "Printing MapQuest directions." "Lining up hours before a movie to get a good seat (no reserved seats). My friends and I lined up for two hours for Avatar when it first came out." "Checking your data usage to make sure you haven't gone over your 100 MB and incurred $0.05/KB overage charges." And similarly: "Restricting the length of your texts to not be charged another 12p for going over the character allowance for one text." "Memorizing phone numbers." "Mailing the DVD back to Netflix." "15 years ago, I still had to pay to 'rent' the required cable box on top of paying for the cable itself." "Handing the clerk your credit card instead of putting it in the machine yourself. And putting your car key in the door." "Turning on/off car headlights." "We talked to strangers so much because people were seen as our entertainment. It was completely normal to be in line at the grocery store just talking to people beside you while you waited. We didn't have phones to be stuck on all day, so we actually interacted with the world and people around us to not be bored." "Watching the 6:30 nightly news in real time. I stopped watching when Trump was elected." "Actually being friends with work colleagues; going to their birthday parties, etc. Now everyone just seems to want to get to work and go home." "Driving to stores to buy things, and planning your whole day around it." "Wedding invitations or important events would come with a map to the venue." "Writing a check." "Answering the phone when it rings." "Planning your route BEFORE getting in the car." "You went to work in nice clothes and got to wear jeans on Friday!" "Knowing which direction is north. In my experience, young people struggle to navigate anywhere without their smartphone giving them directions. They don't really examine the map, and they don't concern themselves with keeping track of where north is." "Hitting the rewind button." "Calling the credit card company before traveling." "Making YouTube videos for the fun of it. Now everyone thinks it's a job and is making soulless, cookie-cutter content by chasing trends to feed the algorithm." "Turning your phone off to save the battery. Now people would rather sacrifice their social life than be unreachable for 10 minutes." "Looking up businesses in the Yellow Pages." "Bulletin boards in coffee shops and casual restaurants are missing now. It used to be that if you wanted to hire someone for a local service, you could find people's flyers or business cards tacked to it: landscapers, plumbers, painters. You could also find show flyers." And we've covered the '00s, so now, let's chat about the '90s! What's something everyone did 25 years ago that would confuse young people today? Tell me in this quick form, or in the comments below!

Watch this person play The Witcher 3 on their Galaxy Watch Ultra
TL;DR A Redditor has shown off GeForce Now running on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The user's uploaded video shows them playing The Witcher 3 on the smartwatch. The smartwatch isn't actually doing any of the heavy lifting, but it's still a cool showcase. We've already seen people running retro games on their smartwatches thanks to emulators, but it turns out that you can also play full-fledged PC games on your Wear OS watch. Then again, I'm not sure why you'd want to do so in the first place. Redditor BranaMitrovicFloyd posted a video online showing GeForce Now running on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The user was specifically playing 2015's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with the aid of on-screen controls and a stylus. community on Reddit Posts from the galaxywatch community on Reddit It's worth stressing that this isn't actually running locally on the smartwatch, as GeForce Now is a game streaming service. That means NVIDIA's servers perform all the heavy lifting, and the gameplay is then streamed to your device via your internet connection. So, while this isn't a demonstration of the Galaxy Watch Ultra's horsepower, it does highlight the possibilities on this hardware. Of course, I'm not sure you'd actually want to play PC games on a smartwatch in the first place. The small screen makes things tough to see, while the virtual controls are simply too tiny for your fingers. On the upside, you can connect a Bluetooth controller to your watch if you're really committed to this endeavor. This also comes a few months after a Redditor got the PPSSPP emulator running on their Galaxy Watch 5. This was all running locally on the smartwatch, and the user was apparently able to play most PSP games at 60fps. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
