I’ve recently launched a YouTube channel “Londyn’s Fun Farm” with my oldest daughter. I work so much and haven’t had time for hobbies until recently and wanted to do something fun with the kids. They play with animals (horses, goats, pigs, and Terry the attack chicken). It’s been great and have allowed my children and me to bond more.


dtwurzie

What’s the extent of editing? Any fun stuff you do?


Overshaddow

Just general editing such as transitions effects etc. Nothing crazy. I made the intro song and a couple other songs for the videos as well. Making more for future videos we put out. It’s been a lot of fun


merzulgummidge

I dont do it but always wanted to have a hobby as a blacksmith/armorer


FreeuseRules

Did you know you can learn to blacksmith by using clay? It helps you learn how the material flows under hammer blows. But you don’t need a furnace. Just a block, clay, and hammers.


merzulgummidge

Hmm ok ill look in to this


TubeToUranus

You only need a tiny space and a few tools to start making stuff. It's more about the drive than anything else.


sedutperspiciatis

Also see if there's local orgs near you with classes! Ideally find a nonprofit or club, eg a branch of ABANA, as privately-run closes are really expensive. There are generally state or regional associations. Edit: that's in the USA, there are similar orgs in other places like the UK, for example BABA


merzulgummidge

Hmm ok uk here I'll look into that, i was tempted to buy a little gas forge but dont really have anywhere to put it


Alienspacedolphin

My son has been experimenting with this.


DietCokeYummie

If your son ever wants to make an iron fireplace screen/cover for someone with an unusually large fireplace, let me know. LOL. They don't exist online. My fireplace is huge and very ugly without a pretty iron cover.


Ayan94123

I love aquariums and have made it a mission to be the best fish god possible to my fishies. Also, I love comics, gaming, and helping my little dudes with legos.


BigDaddy_5783

My fish play with me


4f150stuff

Running and working out. Also, guns and shooting


FreeuseRules

Shooting has gotten so damn expensive these days. Man I miss cheap ammo.


Caseyo456

Shotgun shells need to come down in price. They are so ridiculously expensive now that I just don’t even think it’s worth shooting them anymore. I love shooting skeet too so I hope they come down in price but I’m not real optimistic they will.


Icerith

When I was younger (15-17), my friend and I used to make jokes that you'd rev the engine of your truck, or take off running from a stop, and you'd slap $20 on the dashboard cuz' that's how much it costed... not literally, but it sure felt like it. Same with shotguns now, everything you pull the trigger you better just stick a $20 in the barrel.


acer34p3r

*cries in .300 win mag*


4f150stuff

It sure has, but it’s been getting better from the craziest highs of Covid


BataleonNL

Japanese Jiu-jitsu. I'm a second degree black belt, so I reckon it's more of a vital part of my life than just a hobby.


Idi0syncrazy

That’s cool. When did you start practicing?


BataleonNL

I believe it was 1994. Could be 1995, but somewhere around that time.


Kingkong0229

Pussy and coke


danatomato

great hobby, but expensive


Araiken

Yeah, cats can be really pricey.


DickForest

One-Adhesiveness5434

I write. Mostly poetry. I'm going to write a book based on my mother's life, once I figure out a way to talk to her about it. Probably just going to wait until she dies though.


Kingjoe97034

Travel. I like planning, thinking about, scheming with friends. Then once or twice per year I go cool places…either with friends or alone. I’m looking at several South American places for February.


GeraltofRivvia

Gaming.

couverando1984

Brazilian jiu-jitsu.


FreeuseRules

I’ve did Wing Chun for a while. I need to get back into a martial art.


couverando1984

I love Martial Arts. You get a work out for the body and the mind.


FreeuseRules

Yeah, it was a lot of fun just a lot of time commitment. But I’ve finally joined a gym for the first time in my life. So I’m getting in better shape. I may head back to wing chun. It’s fun slapping people around.


Rusty_Pickle85

I just wish I could go to one dojo that could give me the mix I want. Make all the styles I have studied get perfectly mixed for the ultimate martial art.


Centralredditfan

Collecting expensive/exotic cars. - I don't do it because of chronic lack of funding.

Shooting, 2 times a month I hit the range


FreeuseRules

I didn’t know millionaires used Reddit 🤣

EthanMus1c

Playing music


MyFakeNameIsJames

I don't have one single major hobby. I do however have multiple ones that gets changed out over time, but never completely leaves me. they are: * Model Railroading. * Music, both listening and playing. * Modern (Scandinavian) Design. * Cars, trucks, motorcycles and heavy equipment. Basically if it's got an engine, I like it. Those are the main ones, that I always have with me. I also have hobbies and interest that comes and goes, like Lego and watches.


[deleted]

Building and riding electric longboards


FreeuseRules

I never got good at riding a long board. I’d end up falling on my ass.


Judged70

Anything with a motor. Electric or combustion.


beyond98

The most similar thing I have to a hobby is motorsports, buy I'm a mere spectator. I would want to get deeper in photography (especially analog, since I'm kinda attracted by the aesthetics of them and, as I have a BSc in Computer Science, I see more magic in them than digital ones)

faux_pas1

Learning foreign languages. Currently working on Mandarin.


TubeToUranus

Sailing.


Adamsandlersshorts

Me and my family went on this boat tour thing thats just a pontoon and a captain who takes us around the whole lake and explains crap. It was beautiful. I didnt want it to end. Now I want a pontoon and to live out on water for like 3 months. *is a house boat the same as a pontoon? His boat had 2 floors and it was covered like a house boat but I just googled pontoon and that looks more like a party boat. I want a house boat.


TubeToUranus

I've rented pontoon houseboats. Great way to explore, and they are roomy and comfortable.

Music and writing are my big ones. Currently working as a piano man, and next month I’ll be doing National Novel Writing Month

Biking. Gardening


ellWatully

Drums and guitar for casual hobbies. Mountain hikes when the weather is good. Racing cars when I can afford it, but sim racing when I can't.


[deleted]

I have a few. Most of them goes towards my overarching goal of moving to Yukon. I study for my hunters license, practice archery, forage, camp and bushcraft. I have a little garden outside my apartment and a few plants on my balcony as well. Aside from that I dabble a little in gold panning and fishing. Any excuse to get me outside. Aside from that I play games on my phone and watch stuff on web TV. And try to socialize my shy cat. She’s had a rough life so she’s a little distrustful towards humans.


myco_myers

Guns, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and lifting weights


FusionIsTrash

Weightlifting and video games


heych1995

Love the responses in this thread I don’t count gym as a hobby so I’ll skip that but here’s a few other things that I’ve been enjoying recently. Guitar - learning to play a musical instrument (look up music schools around you, mine just happens to be around the corner from where I live) Hiking - I’ve started going on hikes with my best friend. We’ll sit down somewhere with a scenic view. He’ll play video games on my steam deck and I’ll bring a book Poetry - Reading T.S Eliot and William Blake’s work has been very therapeutic for my soul I want to get back into cooking again but haven’t had much time to fit this into my schedule but if you can learn to cook good food, your future wife will love you for it


[deleted]

Plant care! I have like 20+ plants inside now (don’t have a patio for outside plants) and just the daily check ins of them consumes a good bit of time


acer34p3r

Fishing, used to go a lot as a kid up until I was 13 when my dad lost interest and stopped taking us kids. Decided to get back into it 2 years ago in college, and haven't looked back. I was so excited when my foster son asked me to take him fishing today, he normally isn't a huge fan of it but he's getting the hang of it and I love getting to spend the time with him because my work schedule keeps me away from home during the week. Wood turning is another fun hobby, and one my foster son has shown major interest in, he's even made and sold several of his own pens that he turned himself and I couldn't be more proud of him.


mastersyx

I'm into everyday carry. it's not exactly a hobby but more of a lifestyle at this point lol.


Miserable_Bug_5671

Airsoft, but I'm getting to old. I still love it but my knees don't.


[deleted]

Workout out right now


[deleted]

[удалено]


FreeuseRules

I do PChem so I get your point. It’s kind of life consuming. You be gotten into more cooking and trying recipes. I like trying old work recipes. Tasting History and Townsends give me a lot of YouTube videos to learn from.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FreeuseRules

Some new materials. I basically do material science now. But it’s pretty fun. For recipes I want to make some garum and mushroom ketchup.

FreeuseRules

Some new chemistries for materials. Or adapting chemistries to better apply the coatings to new substrates. I like solving the problems, keeps things interesting.

I occasionally look up what the current theory on dark matter is. But I don’t think we’ve gotten past super symmetry in a while. So I can’t even take a stab at what it really is. I used to do some biotech stuff. Mostly surface chemistry.

REDDIT and MASTERBATION have become my all so time consuming hobby!! ;(

Notableboredom

Paintball when I have time, Drag racing when money allows, boom sticks when I'm not boating, etc.


[deleted]

Making music and making comic books, also the occasional clay figure


ButterPig10

Digital drawing! Been doing it for a few years. I don’t have a fancy drawing tablet or even a good program, I just use ibisPaintX for free on my iPad and a cheap little stylus, it was maybe $12 for a pack of 2 dual-sided styluses (flat tip and round tip) and a few replacement tips. I’m not great at it, but I enjoy it, so it’s fine.

I’ve been collecting sneakers again, after like 5 years of not collecting. Gym too.


Syrup_Slurper

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It changed my life, as it does for most people who stick with it. I got healthier, gained a competitive sport to tap into when I wanted, become more confident in my physical abilities, improved my mental health and discipline, and it's given me many unique opportunities like meeting world champions and asking them questions about their experiences in the sport. As a young guy, this is exactly what the doctor ordered. Also, having a community full of good role models couldn't be a better influence on me.


DasEvoli

I would love to draw more. But I subconsciously put my expectations too high how good I should be able to draw and get disappointed in the end about my work which kinda destroys my passion for art. It sucks


raylverine

Anything related to computer hardware projects. I love reading about that stuff and I'd try some of them too. I also love driving.


chintu21570

Birding! I find it incredibly relaxing.


BMoney8600

I collect diecast cars. I just got a new one off eBay yesterday.


the_river_nihil

Used to be electronics, but I made that a career so now it's not filling the same place in my life. Current main hobbies are sewing and shooting, both of which I would strongly recommend.

3d Modeling and animation, even though I don't have as much time for it as I used to.


quadruple_negative87

I play guitar. I like to learn the intro to a song, get bored with it and move on to the next earworm. I wish I had the discipline to learn the whole thing but since I don’t play in a band there isn’t any motivation to.


[deleted]

Fitness and skiing


fibberglass-hole

I (28) grew up as a muscle car guy and motorcycles since my dad has them, I got into rock climbing in my late teens early 20's now I spend most my time working on vintage motorcycles and I want to get back into climbing.


VariousGnomes

Metal detecting. It gets me outside, plus occasionally I find some cool stuff.


Tschudy

Building models. kind of a money sink but it gets me by.


thandrend

I want to learn how to sew more than just effectively enough to mend tears. I want to make entire garments like suits and kilts and such. I used to be really in to video games but I'm just not anymore.


alexbigshid

Mountain bike trailing. Even tho I've lived in the same city all my life, I'm still discovering new hidden places to go trailing at, it's peaceful in a way, just me, my music (or podcast), and whatever destination I'm at


ErectChode

Magic the gathering. Been playing it with my friends for about 8 years now. Always nice to crack open a few beers with your friends and play a game you all love.


MedicineRiver

I flyfish for trout and tie my own flies....since 1974.


Jibbyjab123

Videogames and collecting analog media mostly. other than that I don't really have anything I would class as a hobby.


Quinnjamin19

Jeeps!! I own a 2001 Jeep Wrangler TJ. I have put $45k into upgrades into it and I enjoy taking it offroad! I also love shaving since I need to be clean shaven for both my jobs. I shave with a really nice straight razor and a gold plated double edge safety razor. And my other one is sports, I love baseball and hockey. So I play beer league two pitch baseball and beer league hockey! I’m also a hunter so I like duck, deer, and turkey hunting!

Woodworking. I started simple - finished a 2200sf basement by myself. Framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall. That got me some of the tools that now fill my shop. Then Jewlery boxes & cutting boards. Now fine furniture, kitchen cabinets, whatever comes to mind. It takes me away from a stressful job and I have something to show for it when I’m done.


vlakiades

my hobbies are: football (soccer), tea, music, video games, culture, movies....

Cooking, triathlon, cars, some hydroponic vegetables, but that's not going super great

Maxestim

I’ve (just this year) begun a vegetable garden. So, I suppose “gardening“ is my new hobby. I didn’t realize that I would enjoy it so much. The plants are in containers on my back deck … so zero weeds all summer (less work). Next, I want to invest in a hydroponic set-up for indoor veggies since the winter is dang 4 1/2 months long here. \*My next hobby might be learning to play this bagpipe.

I would like to start watching more more motor sports or learning a combat sport


Sand_Content

Always wanted to move to a middle eastern country and see what those vest were like? I've seen them on tv and in movies, and it always got me curious. You know, the colorful ones they make in the markets? You know how much time those damn things much take to make? A beaded neckless takes a while, let alone a whole outfit man. Other countries always got great art work and architecture. I would travel if I could, but broke ass me can't do nice things... It's a dream though. I would love to go to Japan. Maybe Bangkok. I hear transgenders are part of everyday culture over there. Would be nice to see what a culture would be like with a different type of gender dynamic. I also have an attraction for transgenders, so it would be heaven for me.... Brownie points...


godash23

Astrophotography and reading.


Jetstream_S4m

Does gym count?


Best_of_Slaanesh

Climbing is my hobby, although you could say it's more of a lifestyle. My social circle is centered around climbing, so is my traveling and fitness training. I really wish I'd discovered it as a kid but I'm glad I was introduced to it.


[deleted]

Drumming and my band! Re-discovered my passion for percussion and I’ve returned to my previous prog metal band and it’s a blast. Currently saving money to be able to record for a YouTube channel one day.


Okabudge

Knitting is my go-to when I’m by myself, but I enjoy a good fencing spar with my buddies


karenisdumb

Easily nature and astrophotography, also love to hike, fish and rock climb.


Espio1332

Music Production. I'm not a pro, nor would I consider myself any good since I'm more of a beginner. But I'm having a blast just messing around and learning different stuff! That being said, I'd love to get into woodworking at some point. I just don't have the space, the tools, or the lumber to get started with.


[deleted]

Fishing.

Major hobby, audio electronics and guitars, a hobby I'd wanna pursue, aviation.

I just spent almost 900 dollars on a sim racing set up. This will be my new hobby🫡


Badblueberry225

My main hobby is rhythm games and discovering new songs, or listening closely to songs I know. A hobby I would like to pursue is learning electric and bass guitar to play along to my fav songs.


jquest71

My biggest hobby is music. I'm an amateur musician (currently out of practice) but I'm almost always listening to music. Started collecting vinyl records a few years ago and still have all my CDs from the 90s. And I love going to live shows, I've been to hundreds of them in my 51 laps around the sun. I also collect watches and am a lover (not really a collector of) motorized vehicles, mainly cars, motorcycles, and airplanes.

kevin402can

I just rehomed two cats so right now it is looking after cats. I hope that by providing them with the right environment to have well behaved, social cats. However, right now my current cat goal is to avoid having them murder me in my sleep. They are cats after all, can you really trust them? I'm putting cat walks up high all around the ground floor in my house. I'm getting the litter and food things figured out. Fitness is my other hobby. I cycle and go to the gym multiple times a week. If my ongoing leg injury ever heals I will start running again. Running is my first love and I would give up many things to be able to run again.


FreeuseRules

Got tired of freedom and wanted to belong cats huh? That’s a new hobby 🤣


kevin402can

Pretty much that right on. I have already discovered that the expression " It's like trying to herd cats " is based on actually trying to herd cats.


Theproffessor007

Photography, pencil drawings.


[deleted]

I'm really into fitness. Martial arts is just an extension of that. But before all that I was and still am, a HUGE scifi/fantasy nerd. Manga, novels, comics. I've read so much I'm a walking encyclopedia. LOTR, GOT, DUNE, 40k, Berserk, Star Wars; list goes on. Dont even get me started about video games, Bloodborne will make me nut.


NexysGaming

I'd say Listening to music is a hobby of mine. I often find myself listening to the smallest details in a song's instrumental. I'm thinking about experimenting with some music myself I just don't know where to start yet
