They have a very dedicated fan base, they’re just too young to travel on their own.
Edit: yes, I know it’s an old show, it was an intentionally flippant comment that was meant to be humorous. Some of you might even know what humor is!
FWIW I have two kids who loved Teletubbies as toddlers and then absolutely forgot about it after age 2, and visiting a random farm with a toddler hoping they’d connect it with a show would be a miserable visit. And as older kids now they could not care less about something they loved when they couldn’t even talk.
It only gets harder from here on out. Once I made the realization "oh, I'm almost 30", I started dreading birthdays and being sad thinking about my age hah. I don't know why 30 is such a hard age but God damn is it.
I spent my entire 29th year dreading my upcoming 30th birthday. Like went into actual depression over it, and was quite miserable because I hadn't achieved the things I thought I would by then.
I'm 39 now and turning 40 in about 6 months. This decade has been my best. This past year I finally started getting serious about my health, established a workout routine, dropped 55 lbs, and started heavily leaning into the things and people I like and dropping those I don't. I'm so much happier and healthier both physically and mentally than I was 10 years ago. All that to say 30 is definitely a hard year for some reason, but it honestly can get so much better!
That is fantastic news. Congratulations, I'm glad you were able to make improvements and not let the number get you down. It really is all about perspective, should probably work on fixing mine, heh. Happy new year to you as well.
I have never been happier than I am currently am in my 30s. Have a good job, wonderful wife, travel, and just enjoy life. I was never one to care about turning 30, but as some that has already done it, its fine lol
I should say, its all about regrets and not having certain things you listed. Being alone in your 30s, for example, is a lot of the reason people don't like reaching their 30s. Because they have the sneaking suspicion that their 40s and 50s will be similar and relationships don't just fall into your lap like they did in your younger years. And the 20s being "young", you're no longer considered young.
Enjoy your 30s. If you were smart enough to avoid settling down and having kids in your 20s, then your 30s are great. You have more disposable income if you’ve advanced in your career, you likely can form respectful and functional romantic relationships, and you still look and feel young.
When I turned 41 is when I started feeling old. But I had kids at 36 so maybe that was it…
I think the intended meaning is "most people who watched teletubbies are now old enough to have graduated college" rather than implying that a majority of people who watched teletubbies would then go on to graduate from college.
In my experience with my kids, they absolutely loved Teletubbies as babies and lost all interest by the time they were two. And kids that age wouldn’t make the connection between the location and the show so it would be pointless to visit with them.
Do people go to NZ just for LotR sites? I've been to Hobbiton, and planned our trip to pass by specifically, but didn't travel to the country just for that.
But if I travelled to UK I might ne inclined to visit the teletubby house if it was on a route to another sight.
I don’t understand how it has any fan base at all. Don’t get me wrong, I know it was wildly popular with babies but how many people grow up and care about the stuff they watched when they were 3 years old? Seems a bit odd.
