I admit I got the idea for this thread from somewhere else, though I honestly can't recall where.

Anyway for me it's naps. As a kid I hated the idea of sleeping during the daytime, feeling that sleeping is what you do at the end of a day, not in the middle of it. Plus my bedtime when I was a kid was like 9 PM so I needed all the time I had after getting home from school to do the things I actually wanted to do once homework was done (that is if I didn't finish homework at school, because I hated the idea of "school work at home" so much I tried to always finish it before leaving school). Now I'm an adult who can choose when to go to bed whenever I want, and sometimes it's just nice to get extra sleep in whenever I can. Helps me feel more recharged and eliminate some stress for a time.

Also as a kid I didn't really like turn based RPGs that much outside of Pokemon. though that game likely helped me learn to better appreciate that style of RPG (alongside Paper Mario). I think it's because at the time I was more used to games that didn't feel like they restricted a player's actions in a combat scenario. Like when I played Final Fantasy on my cousin's NES for the first time I thought it'd play like Zelda since it had the same top down view, but monsters being random encounter and you couldn't just walk up to them and hit them on the battle screen irked me, it just made me want to go right back to Zelda. While I admit to still having a bit more of a preference towards action RPGs like Kingdom Hearts or Bloodborne, turned based RPGs like classic Final Fantasy, most Mario RPGs, or ones that are still "turn based" but offer a different take on the genre like Fire Emblem are now some of my favorites thanks to me getting better acquainted with how these sorts of games work.

Gundam model kits. As a kid, Zoids were far more appealing to me since the toyline had great variety of choices of different animals while also being motorized than the local toy store's selection of the same 5 Gundams from Gundam Wing. But right now, my Gundam collection far outnumber my surviving Zoids collection, ranging from tiny Super Deformed Gundams to the complex Perfect Grade series. It doesn't help the fact that Zoids are pretty rare nowadays and Gundam kits offer a great amount of customization.

Kirby: Right Back At Ya!

That was the series that I hated more than the fury of a thousand suns. No joke, my irrational hatred for an innocent show like that came as far that I went ahead and wrote edgy fanfics where the characters are violently murdered. I suppose that the only reason why I reacted like that was due to loving Kirby 64 and realizing that Adeleine was nowhere to be found and firmly believed that she got replaced by a cast of "literally whos?". That's it! That's literally it! The source of everything. My emotions were clouded and I declared war on the cartoon.

So, as things are the way they are, I grew up, got caught up in a nostalgia wave for old cartoons, watched the series, this time in full and I'm like "this is the show that I used to hate? But it's great! What the fuck was wrong with me?" Every character gets a 10/10 from me, especially Escargoon who grew on me to become my favorite of the bunch. What can I say? I have a soft spot for the underlings.

Soda

I don't what's wrong with me as a kid, I used to hate Soda with such passion as a little kid.
I hated the CO2 tingling on my tongue,
I hated a lot of the Flavors (Cola, Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, etc),
I hated how cold the cans were,
and I hated how like 90% of restaurants only had Soda, leaving me only with plain water to drink.

Now I love all the things that I hated about soda, and I love soda so much that I'm constantly worried about my blood sugar.

vegetables mostly, it was the old ‘kid thinks vegetables are gross’ meme for me but now that I’m older and deficient in various nutrients i can’t help but love most of the stuff
except carrots though, fuck carrots they’re gross.
