Yeah what the hell was up with this it seems awfully common. Maybe less so these days when kids have phones to tinker with.

Mine ran along the pavement and lept over the driveway. Or maybe it was the other way around? I can't recall.

theres also the habit of not stepping on sidewalk cracks

i suspect the reason is the position of the expansion joints in concrete can approximate your stride length, and it is easy to synch up your stride length to almost never touch the cracks

I would switch to this after a new episode of Dragonball Z dropped for a day or two. It’s really funny how many people just assume their imagination is an isolated event and not a shared experience between intelligent primate minds developing at approximately the same rate.

the little man running next to you is just a product of being in a culture that (a) plays side scrolling video games, and (b) drives around in personal motor vehicles

people just come to similar conclusions when their bored and sitting in the back seat

I was born in 85 and never had this mental game. I think it really is strongly related to being exposed to platformers when you were very young, cause I'm seeing this meme pop all over the internet yet I never heard about this before so it seems like a "young people's thing"

I couldn’t remember if you could see the lava in the castle levels or if they just looked like pits, but in either case with those fireball guys that leap up out of the pits I would’ve intuitively assumed it was lava as a kid.

Also I always pictured the Flash running beside and up ahead weaving in and out of traffic, so I doubt it would be limited to the era of platform video games.

I was born in '79 and was playing this game in '85 with zero exposure to platformers

'89, no console in the house but a healthy awareness of them as something that existed, never imagined people running alongside the car but WOULD move my head around to make the sticker in the windshield corner zig and zag through obstacles and/or the traffic lines on the asphalt.
They made a game about this sort of nonsense.
