This post is so invalidating for us train boys

[–] benwubbleyou@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’m in my early thirties now and I think I love trains more than I did than when I was a kid. That and double deck busses, love that shit.

[–] zbyte64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 year ago

Yes, but have you considered prehistoric transformers from space?

[–] StumblingHunter@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

My son is 1.5 years old. So far it's trains and cars/trucks. I'll update you in 2.5 years

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

I wanted to be a fire truck when I got older…

[–] stackPeek@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Me, except trains

Japanese trains, specifically

[–] CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a 34 year old woman that loves trains. 😍

Are we still doing phrasing?

1000hrs logged in the floor is lava

[–] JayK117@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mine was transformers so technically I didn't have to choose one

[–] Cryst@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Same here man. I watched that show religiously as a kid. I think it was on at 3:30 weekday.

[–] links_own@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Forgot sharks too

[–] vrek@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can i base my personality on constructing a truck stop for dinosaurs in space(operated by robots, owned by sharks and powered by volcanos)?

[–] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

So how is the writing going and who will playing the lead dino?

[–] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I was more of a Dukes of Hazard guy at that age. Also Voltron. Later on was Knight Rider.

Maybe He-man too but only because he rode a tiger.

[–] Exatron@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Transformers means I don't have to choose just one.

[–] jpablo68@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Civil Engineer here, I can confirm.

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

ETS2 player here. Yes

I prefer dinosaurs in space personally

Stop what you're doing and download Ark.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

One? Try all four.

[–] ChaoticGoodHeart@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A fellow Dinosaucers fan, I see!

[–] achillbreeze@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I came for Dino Crisis and all I got was Dinosaucers.

[–] porkins@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Was definitely a rockets kid. I always wanted to go to space camp. Still do and I’m almost 40.

[–] serfraser@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Yup. Just a few kelvins.

[–] hamburglar26@wilbo.tech 2 points 1 year ago

My son is only 2 and fully obsessed with all things transportation and construction related.

No football. Objectively wrong meme

[–] Goodbyeworld@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Surely, a bulldozer driving a semitrailer would also be acceptable.

[–] mrpaw69@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Where trains and cars?

[–] JonCecil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Personally, mine was ninjas.

Power Rangers, 3 Ninjas (original one only), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

But also, the early 90s Dick Tracy movie? I never actually saw the movie, still haven't, but the imagery and products really captivated me at 4.
