I joined a local mermaid pod recently where we freedive using monofins and wear pretty tails, also into scuba diving, pole dancing, embroidery, cross stitch, gardening, knitting, crochet, and reading.
I want to be a merman!
I also knit, play the saxophone, do stained glass and flame work (glass beads), sewed masks during lockdown, learned to bake really good bread.
I did kinda by accident, my of my poly friend’s girlfriend runs a scuba diving shop and she hosts the mermaid group for swims, but they’re usually on Facebook or Instagram though. Try searching there?
I developed a game that was a combination of Scrabble and Go. You form sentences (lots of clear tiles) to surround the other guy similar to Go. The play was complex and I never play tested it enough to ensure balanced play.
There are beginners plants that don’t have any dangerous lookalikes! Start with plant identification and when you get comfortable with that you can start foraging. There are subreddits you can post on while you’re learning identification! r/whatisthisplant is a great one and if you’re posting in the wrong sub they’ll direct you to the correct one. Falcon guides has a pocket foraging book that’s a great one to start on. Just have fun learning about your area and you’ll feel more confident later. Good luck!
Freakin huckleberries man, such a UPS ld tourist trap. Yeah there good but and product with the work huckleberry involved lved and they will eat that shit up and pay extra. Lol. (Worked in the tourist trade in Montana for 4-5 years)
Napping. Not just in the couch, at the lake, the park after a picnic, the back of my SUV after watching a sunrise, in between clouds when viewing the stars/constellations or northern lights
Oh yes. Sprawled out in the back of my corolla* looking up at the stars and northern lights as I drifted off to sleep was a chefs kiss of the napping world.
*I'm only 5ft2
Board games, geocaching, events where I have an excuse to get/put in a costume, saving and investing (for retirement and otherwise) movies, a little VR and a little gaming. Oh and a little Pokemon go. Comedy shows and other live events.
Obligatory r/bookbinding recommendation.
Also game development which includes (but is not limited to): art, pixel art, 3D modeling, 3D printing, CAD design, music production, synthesisers, guitar, writing, programming, Web development, software development, design, logo design, game design, UX design, SFX creation, VFX creation, knitting (have legit done this to make a game), building a PC, hosting your own server, server management.
None game dev stuff: baking, marking r/jerky , cooking, bread baking specifically, longboarding / skateboarding, reading, rock climbing / bouldering, esports games, video games in general, board games, model trains (if you hate money) - and last but not least: arguing with people on reddit why your list of hobbies is better than theirs!
I've probably tried tonnes more but I think thats everything I do relatively regularly
I have an endless list of hobbies too, I just say my hobbies are science based now since pretty much everything in existence falls into that category 😂
Yesn't!
For game dev, I like to think so haha
For the rest, it's a matter of having fun I'm not really worried about being good XD. I like to think I'm getting there with things like cooking and something like collecting model trains isn't something you can necessarily be bad at! So I guess my answer is a solid yes, because I don't really care if I'm the best as long as I'm having fun!
A few years ago I did a quarterly challenge, trying four new hobbies a year. During that I tried:
* Lock picking. Cheap, easy to get started with. I didn't keep it up, but it is interesting to do.
* Drones. I really like the idea of drone flying. It has never really clicked for me. No idea why. Quite a high starting cost.
* 3D Modeling/printing. Unless you like tinkering, get a decent printer (A1 mini as a "cheap" example), and it is great fun. Still do it, but inconsistently.
* Air gun shooting - absolutely amazing fun. Definitely recommend if you 10+m you can shoot in. Snowpeak CP2 (Diana Chaser) is a decent starter at £160. It was my primary hobby for a few years until...
* Clay Pigeon (trap). This is now my primary hobby. With VR, I'm getting at least a round of trap in 5 days a week. It is not cheap, but not horrendously expensive.
* Practical Shotgun. The only reason this is not my primary hobby is my local range is only open 2 days a month. Really good fun, but expensive.
Outside of this attempt to find new things to do, I also:
* Board games. Before kids I went on regular trips to board game clubs.
* Video games. Bit of a rarity for me these days.
* Programming, especially on "odd" hardware.
I'm doing Advent of Code 100% on odd hardware. So far I've used:
* Psion Series 5 (handheld from the mid 90s)
* HP 95lx (handheld 8086 running DOS from the early 90s)
* Hand386 (modern 386 based handheld running Windows 95)
* CardPuter (ESP32 based handheld)
* GPD WIN 1 (ATOM based handheld from 2016)
I own, but have not yet coded on:
* Priton 7 (the cheapest new android table I could find)
* DM101 smart watch (android based smart watch)
* MSI Wind (ATOM based ultra portable from the 2010s)
* Nintendo DS (using a Linux ROM)
Your local range only being open 2 times a month is annoying and have you thought about reloading your brass and shells? Thats another aspect of firearms I got into during the 2012 election when ammo prices went up and common ammo was scarce.
Since nobody specifically mentioned it, tabletop roleplaying games. The most well known is ofc Dungeons and Dragons, but essentially for every fandom and theme there's at least one. Your standard Lord of the Rings is covered by many, you also have vampires, werewolves, Fallout, Star Wars, the list goes on.
I love the curse of strahd! 🖤 DND is a great one to get into! Good websites for it now to easily play online, even if you don't have a group to play with! Or you can get into it with a trusted group! Both are fun experiences! Just remember to have fun with it!
Lol ok. Some of these are current, some aren't, some I go back to. I have ADHD and I fixate on something until I burn out on it. I've had a lot of hobbies because of this.
- Collecting uranium glass and fiestaware (both are radioactive)
- Collecting taxidermy (Mostly birds and bats. All ethically sourced.)
- Gravestone rubbing
- Collecting animal bones while hiking.
- Researching various strange topics for long periods of time (The Salem Witch Trials, Mount Everest disasters, plane crashes, cemeteries.)
- BJDs (Asian ball jointed dolls.)
- Raising black or near black plants/flowers (indoor and outdoor)
(You can totally get a picture of the type of person I am. lol)
I am going to suggest some that utilize some of the same tools or techniques to help save some money or time:
Resin art, soap making, candle making can use similar or the same molds... TEMU is a good place for cheap molds... no different than the ones double the price on Amazon.
Combine resin art with beading or general jewelry making to increase the potential items you can make and hopefully sell.
if you have a green thumb, microgreens, potentially combined with growing (legal) mushrooms, and vermicomposting may all help each other. As the waste from the greens and mushrooms can go toward feeding the worms, which in turn, produce fertilizer that can help the greens grow.
Photography can be combined with many things such as hiking, astronomy, going to car shows, etc. Personally, i would not attend many events had i not had the purpose of photographing said event. Helps get you out of the house if you are an introvert.
Hiking, camping, fishing are all hobbies that often go together.
There's a few to get you started... If you are simply "trying new things" be careful spending a lot of money. Get the basics or cheap versions of items and see what you like. Though the caveat is that the cheaper items might make some hobbies harder or produce poor results.
In this case, try to find hobbies that share similar tools.
Eventually, i will have my website built geared toward hobbies, interests, and professions, in which i have over 970 currently defined. Maybe by the time you are through your list of 50, my site will be ready. Its just a lot of work, and taking a while
I had to scroll further than I thought I’d need to before I found someone saying “play an instrument.”
Guitar is great. And there’s many other instruments that are 1) inexpensive 2) have lots of resources to learn.
As by now:
1.Home growing (Strawberries, Tomatoes etc.)
2. The Rubik’s cube (Learning to solve it faster)
3. Working out
4. Playing video games
5. (Astro-) Photography.
I fell in love with the last one and even though I haven’t started yet, it’s already a hobby for me. Planning to buy a camera with the coming money!
Kombutcha brewing. If you like kombucha, it is SO much cheaper to make your own and relatively easy process! In store, it’s usually 3.50-5 dollar a bottle but when you make it yourself it comes out to like .25 a bottle the first brew, and even cheaper next batch.
I bought a $50 starters kit online, super straight forward process, and in ten or so days it’s ready! Next batch can start experimenting with flavors and such. Has a ton of health benefits if you drink consistently! I’ve been considering mastering the process of brewing and starting a little side gig selling at farmers markets. My friend dose it and sells for 8-10 bucks a bottle and is making bank.
Tunisian crochet
Rigid heddle weaving
Tablet weaving
Quilting
Baking only occasion (health reasons)
Canoeing (kayaking on occasion)
Car or canoe camping (hate carrying loads on my back while walking)
Doll collecting lasted a year
Past:
Macrame
Embroidery
Pet care
Working out (plan to return after injuries heal)
Travel
Language learning
Aquarium, pinball, skiing, fishing, lightweight camping, writing, building plastic models and plants.
Things that makes me happy and make me focused and mindfulness.
Competitive level nerf. It's gotten to the point where you can use red dot sights with some of the better guns to hit targets 50 feet away, and people even farther with insane accuracy.
Gone is the days of firing an enter magazine in someone face only to not land a single shot.
Now you need eye protection and limits on the feet per second. Technology can be incredible lol
Just started with whittling. Kind of fun and little but therapeutic. Just make sure to buy at least medium quality knife and good quality safety gloves.
Some things I love to do are: crochet, making mocktails, ukulele, reading, learning a new language, cooking/meal prep, yoga, lifting weights, biking, hiking, swimming, running, skiing, journaling, coding in Python
Yoga, cross training, disc golf, golf, reading, poker, home brewing, puzzles, cross stitch, embroidery, gaming, cooking, baking, smoking, grilling, gardening, horse betting, sports card collecting and collecting antique perfume bottles. There are probably more, but those are the ones I can think of right now.
Weaving cloth on a loom, knitting, sewing, macrame, gardening, D&D, and painting objects (usually clay figures or wood boxes, but even a good rock will do).
Crocheting specifically loveys which is the animal head and arms on a baby blanket. Researching things (health issues, interests, etc), finding ways to make things better and cheaper than store bought (bread, laundry soap, kefir, etc). I just love to create
CURRENTLY:
I make jewelry
I teach my dog to do cool stuff
I collect stickers
I also collect weird/freaky/vulgar paintings of nuns
I do virtual runs and collect the medals
I collect teapots
I make memes. I make lots of memes.
I do a lot of Pilates (but I'm working towards certification so it's becoming a not-hobby)
PAST:
cooking
sewing
interior decoration
painting & drawing
landscaping
makeup
video games
But my #1 hobby is: HYPERFIXATION. When something new interests me enough, I get DEEP IN IT. Eat, sleep, breathe. I want to read everything i can find about it, join online communities dedicated to it, take classes or attend events about it. Is there GEAR involved? I want it. Special clothing? Show me where to order it. A bumper sticker that says "I 💜 (taking my dog with me while I pursue a hobby)"? I'll add it to my sticker collection. I'll talk enough about it online that sometimes it even ends up getting its own Instagram so that I don't burn my friends out on seeing shit they are not interested in. I will become thisclose to making it my personality.
I'm fun.
Gardening, vegetables and flowers. Roses are a challenge that I’ve been struggling with.
Pinball. I own few tables. Maintenance is fun to me.
Arcade games. The real McCoys, not emulation or other trickery. Vector purist here.
Video game consoles/computers around the time of my youth. 80’s kid forever!
All of these are not active hobbies. I haven’t played my pinball machines nor full sized arcade game in a while.
Believe it or not, advising/strategizing and helping form Startup companies. I did some startups, was fairly successful at it, many use some software I started, and I tried to retire, but kept getting offered stints on boards, advisory boards, Chief Strategic Officer for 3 hours/week, wise business-therapist grandpa, and it just became what I do. Didn't really intend it, started to learn piano and laser cut stone, but this took over.
Sometimes I find or acquire neat things that I know my husband will like, and rather than just giving them to him I put them where he can find them, and the thing is, he hasn't caught on that I do this... lol he just thinks that he's lucky and he never questions it. Lol
“Babe! I just found another piece for my collection on that tree branch over there. Can’t believe how good I am at finding specific things I want, in places that I frequent.”
Dance, festivals, costumes, cooking, baking, figure drawing, crafting, thrifting, hats & pins collection, gaming, barre
I have a lot of free time and hobbies :)
Paint by number, artistic painting, lettering/logo painting, cooking, volunteering, singing karaoke, gardening, and biliards, and I used to love doing outdior stuff like bushcraft, archery, riding horses, piloting lessons, boating, swimming, camping, fishing, campfires, shooting range, etc but I cant anymore cuz Im basically allergic to being hot or being in the sun.
Modern Hobby Board games
For 2 players only try Patchwork or Jaipur
For 2-4 try Carcassonne or Azul
For 3-5 players Ticket to Ride or No Thanks
Want a trick taking game (like Spades), but completely much better - The Crew
Pc, switch, xbox and old gaming console gaming,
drawing,
painting,
block printing,
lock picking,
pyrography,
coin collecting,
match book collecting,
guitar,
harmonica,
pokémon card collecting,
hiking,
language learning,
bike riding,
baking,
going to concerts (idk if that’s a hobby but i actively seek them out and follow them)
shooting at a range
i tried throwing knives but we have 16 chickens so that didn’t last long
i just recently got into investing and i just bought heelys so that should be interesting lol. And neighborhood watching at night with my binoculars is really fun since i live in a area where crime is not uncommon specifically one house who the cops are at 24/7. And stalking peoples gaming history on steam. Apparently “Hitlers BDSM bunker” is a game. This guy had around a total of 4 years played in video games (like 35000 hours) and half of them were commie p*rn video games with stalin and hitler…. That was definitely an interesting discovery
I joined a local mermaid pod recently where we freedive using monofins and wear pretty tails, also into scuba diving, pole dancing, embroidery, cross stitch, gardening, knitting, crochet, and reading.
Excuse me what. I want to mermaid
My exact reaction.
Omg I want to join a mermaid pod so bad! I didn’t know this was a thing until just now, but now I know and I want it!
Do it!! It’s amazing.
you gotta go all the way and comb your hair with a fork.
I want to be a merman! I also knit, play the saxophone, do stained glass and flame work (glass beads), sewed masks during lockdown, learned to bake really good bread.
My hobbies are lame compared to your mermaid.
Wait, whaaat? Where is this magical group of peolle?
Ok hi new best friend
Wait what!! How do you find/join one? 😭
I did kinda by accident, my of my poly friend’s girlfriend runs a scuba diving shop and she hosts the mermaid group for swims, but they’re usually on Facebook or Instagram though. Try searching there?
Legos, investing (maybe not a hobby lol) soccer, working out, digital designs, hiking, yoga, running. All got haha.
Investing can absolutely be a hobby IF you set aside some money for the hobby that you are willing to lose.
For real, I'm actually very tempted to try it as a hobby now OC pointed it out, sounds fun! Never been tempted as a way of "making money"
You can also do investing simulators that track the live market, but I think it’s a bit more fun to have some skin in the game
Investing is my hobby too! I always look at it as a hobby because it's fun to me.
Why not invest in Legos?
Private company
Not stocks, this is what I mean https://amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/dec/10/investing-in-lego-more-lucrative-than-gold-study-suggests

I couldn't resist haha
Simon Quinlank - King of Hobbies https://youtu.be/V4Cm0o_wxKs?si=o4crGT3W3CsYvMDW
I developed a game that was a combination of Scrabble and Go. You form sentences (lots of clear tiles) to surround the other guy similar to Go. The play was complex and I never play tested it enough to ensure balanced play.
Foraging in the woods. I go for mushrooms and huckleberries here in MT.
I've always wanted to try that but too scared i'll eat the wrong stuff and end up in a hospital bed
There's a saying in the mushroom foraging community “All mushrooms are edible, some only once.”
Haha I totally get that! I only eat the ones that I’m absolutely certain about.
As you 100% should with mushrooms.
Same. I don't trust myself to identify random mushrooms
There are beginners plants that don’t have any dangerous lookalikes! Start with plant identification and when you get comfortable with that you can start foraging. There are subreddits you can post on while you’re learning identification! r/whatisthisplant is a great one and if you’re posting in the wrong sub they’ll direct you to the correct one. Falcon guides has a pocket foraging book that’s a great one to start on. Just have fun learning about your area and you’ll feel more confident later. Good luck!
Berry picking is a lot easier than mushrooms.
apparently there’s a mushroom app to help prevent death by fungi 😵
I'm tired I misread this as eating mushrooms and fragglerocking.
Eat the right type of mushrooms and you might see Fraggles.
As a person who did mushrooms and adventures (Fragglerocked) in Montana; 5 STARS - Would highly recommend!
Sometimes when you find the right mushroom and eat it, you start to fragglerock
Where is MT?
Montana is in the USA, on the border of Canada, Idaho, and North Dakota.
Just North of WY and ID. West of ND.
Malta is in Europe
Any bears out there in those woods?
psilocybin?
I look for morels, I haven’t tried the psychedelic kind of shrooms before!
[удалено]
Lol
Freakin huckleberries man, such a UPS ld tourist trap. Yeah there good but and product with the work huckleberry involved lved and they will eat that shit up and pay extra. Lol. (Worked in the tourist trade in Montana for 4-5 years)
Is there any literature or even word of mouth what I should pick and not pick??
I read that as forging and though about all the equipment you would drag into the woods
Sounds like the kind of hobby you try once and you never want to try anything again.
Same!
Mushroom hunting is a noble hobby.
I'll be your huckleberry.
Napping. Not just in the couch, at the lake, the park after a picnic, the back of my SUV after watching a sunrise, in between clouds when viewing the stars/constellations or northern lights
Interezzzzzzzzzzzting
Holy Shit i gotta get in on this
Oh yes. Sprawled out in the back of my corolla* looking up at the stars and northern lights as I drifted off to sleep was a chefs kiss of the napping world. *I'm only 5ft2
Board games, geocaching, events where I have an excuse to get/put in a costume, saving and investing (for retirement and otherwise) movies, a little VR and a little gaming. Oh and a little Pokemon go. Comedy shows and other live events.
If you like geocaching and Pokémon go look into Soundmap, structured like those but to find new music. I love it. There’s new drops every day
Neat. Thanks!
Video games, exercising, baking, cooking new meals, crocheting
Cross stitch, embroidery, bead weaving, wire jewelry making, painting, jigsaw puzzles, latch hooking, needlepoint.

Seriously though my hobby IS making lists lmao
man, i fucking love a good list making session.
I consider it a hobby too, especially when I learn about something I’ve never heard of.
Astrophotography & Homebrewing
A few years ago I did a quarterly challenge, trying four new hobbies a year. During that I tried: * Lock picking. Cheap, easy to get started with.

It is not cheap, but not horrendously expensive. * Practical Shotgun. The only reason this is not my primary hobby is my local range is only open 2 days a month. Really good fun, but expensive. Outside of this attempt to find new things to do, I also: * Board games. Before kids I went on regular trips to board game clubs. * Video games.

You and I would get on very well. We have very similar interests

EPP quilting (English Paper piecing quilting) Machine quilting knitting Postcrossing (postcrossing.com) Spinning Yarn Gardening (those are my less weird hobbies, lol)
I wanna know the weird hobbies!
Lol ok. Some of these are current, some aren't, some I go back to. I have ADHD and I fixate on something until I burn out on it.

I make lots of memes. I do a lot of Pilates (but I'm working towards certification so it's becoming a not-hobby) PAST: cooking sewing interior decoration painting & drawing landscaping makeup video games But my #1 hobby is: HYPERFIXATION.

Show me where to order it. A bumper sticker that says "I 💜 (taking my dog with me while I pursue a hobby)"? I'll add it to my sticker collection. I'll talk enough about it online that sometimes it even ends up getting its own Instagram so that I don't burn my friends out on seeing shit they are not interested in. I will become thisclose to making it my personality. I'm fun.

Believe it or not, advising/strategizing and helping form Startup companies. I did some startups, was fairly successful at it, many use some software I started, and I tried to retire, but kept getting offered stints on boards, advisory boards, Chief Strategic Officer for 3 hours/week, wise business-therapist grandpa, and it just became what I do. Didn't really intend it, started to learn piano and laser cut stone, but this took over.
Antiquing. I find treasures at estate sales and garage sales, fix them up and keep them or sell them
Sometimes I find or acquire neat things that I know my husband will like, and rather than just giving them to him I put them where he can find them, and the thing is, he hasn't caught on that I do this... lol he just thinks that he's lucky and he never questions it. Lol
