I didn't have this cool ass crane, but I did have a chill ass nature trail.

What do you think they are playing on the iPad? Minecraft.
I didn't see this being pressed in that new apple ad
The children yearn for the mines

What the hell! Wish I had that as a kid!
We all played minecraft, just some of us played it in real life out of scrap metal and discarded bricks
A huge chunk of my childhood was spent playing in the dirt and mud. I lived in bumfuck nowhere Pennsylvania, so that's all I had to do when the neighbor kids were busy.
We called that area Pennsyltucky
Yup. It's an.... Interesting place to live lol
I was playing with dried out dog shit in some forsaken sandpits of Eastern Europe just after the Soviet’s collapse.
I wish I could romanticise it somehow but no matter my attempts it never sounds super cool.
Minecraft early access.
Are we becoming boomer now? I certainly feel like it
Smaller kids still love playgrounds, even if they also want/love screentime. Heck, it is not infrequent there are a group of younger teenagers at the playgrounds we frequent.
Boomers without any entitlements are just loosers
These things were NEVER fucking left open at the park near me. Could wait there the entire day and the same fucking kid would be using it the entire time, completely oblivious to your attempts to get him to move.
I swear, I probably only touched the thing once when i was a child. I came back with my daughter a few years ago and nobody was giving it a second glance. Used my kid as an excuse to finally get to play with the thing...
Hahaha you and I had the same experience. Always watching, never actually getting a chance to use because of some kid hogging it the whole time you were there.
FYI: As an adult, you probably could have taken that kid in a fight. Possibly even if he used the crane as a weapon.
I've never seen one, do they have these for adults?
yea
I should not be trusted to operate one of those
I think I know what I'm doing for my birthday this year.
Next year. They are temporarily closed to expand the operation.
These sand things just don’t exist where I am in the US. I remember when I was staying in Europe as a kid the setups with sand and water pumps being the most interesting part of a lot of playgrounds.
Yeah I've literally never even heard of these before this post
