Pet peeves: The return (Part 3)

I’d correct you, but in this heat, yeah drinking ice-cream is accurate.

Took my youngest out to the park before it got too hot this morning. She went on the swings for the first time and enjoyed it a lot.

I was jealous because I wanted to go on the swings but there were no big people swings in the playground.

Clearly a design flaw.

The enforced normality of ‘adulthood should be joyless’ and ‘grownups don’t do X’ needs to go find a ditch to get yeet into…

I for one blame capitalism. Get in the machine and produce for your masters! You had your playtime, now grow up!!

the councils dont want people to know this but you can kick the children off and swing yourself.

on a side note: just watched the live letter for 6.2 buried memory and i now will suffer brainrot for the next 2 weeks

Do they not have the other type of swing at all?

Not in that particular playground, no.

I keep seeing back to school stuff. That’s my peeve. Even though I’ve graduated, I still go “oh nooooo… wait a minute, I’m an adult” now and then after seeing that stuff.

Do any of you guys do that too?

time to adopt estonia’s invented sport, kiiking, where it’s a much larger swing and the goal is to make it go 360

(or smaller and wider village swings, where swinging was a multiple person effort)

There is a noisy little animal at my feet.

Also, I’m sure the store clerk wondered why I was only buying pepsi and Ibuprofen.

When I take the train into the next big city I pass the stop where I had to get off for school. I get nervous when I pass it unless I distract myself.

How about no

  • signed: my fear of heights

Don’t worry. People have you beat with stuff like three energy drinks, onions and an apple at 7am.

isn’t this just Dutch for football

It’s ok, the village swings are much shorter* and is a party activity!

*(it can still go 360 but that is kinda more dangerous, since in those big swings you’re affixed to the swing, you’re not there like in this pic https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/Johannes_Pääsuke_214_284.jpg)

the problem with this is assuming that Dutch is a real language

Still no.

I would join in on bullying the Dutch but again, I’m afraid of heights and there is a small possibility of one lifting me up to make eye contact without looking down.

But consider this: you could get on a swing and completely dab on the Dutch above them as you 360 vertically over them!!!
