Hobbies that don't deserve their own thread Anonymage 02/17/18 (Sat) 19:55:05 No.41994[Reply][Last 50 Posts]

Every other board has their own /general/ and it might be better to post about little known hobbies here, rather than have a new thread that gets 2 replies.

How about horseback riding?

Weird hobbies Anonymage 08/24/19 (Sat) 04:54:39 No.49409 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

Anyone here have weird, niche interests? I’m curious about this kind of thing. I like hearing about people dedicating their lives to one specific strange thing. Post about them here.

I like to read about
>Psychonautics
(or altered state of mind or how to play with your brain and sensations)
In general i read just about Hypnosis and magic/magick or ritualism, placebos, mind tricks, mindhacking, mind illusions etc.
I dont read much about drugs bacause i dont consume or have money for these (i dont want to turn addict) maybe in my 40 years i will try some drugs or heavy methods but for now i want to be healthy.
Its a fun insteresting hobby but is not a very good talk topic for normies.
Sometimes i talk with this with hippies new agers and some aspie science dudes, not the typical normie but they respect and have interest in these things around mind and body control and sensations.

I have read a lot about drugs and I find that it has some practical application. Like I will never take any opioids or benzos if a doctor tries to prescribe it to me being aware of the death spiral.

Does anyone here do deadlifts? I'm thinking about working to get a god-tier deadlift. My first goal is to make it up to 405lbs deadlift and then see how far I can take it from there. Right now I can do 255 for 5x5. Any wizbros here with tips?

Right now I'm 80 lbs overweight and need to stop eating so much food. The problem is I'm addicted to food and since I'm a 28 year old virgin, it's not like I have much else to do so it's gonna be hard to cut back on the food. Does anyone also have tips on how to feel full and not feel the need to eat food?

Do you practicers of strength training also do some cardio (running, biking) regularly ? Isn't it dangerous to only strength training with no cardio at all and a sedentary lifestyle ?

How could anybody possibly come to that conclusion? Someone must have a pretty warped definition of the word "dangerous" to make any sort of assumption like that.

I made this thread seperatly from the drawing thread because first, I want it to be visible from everyone, secondly, I wanted to separate painting to drawing. In this thread, post paintings you've made or are doing at teh moment or drafts. Talk about paintings and the related (color used, canvas used, etc…)

The Roman Empire was the center of the world back then, and there was nothing like the art including paintings produced there in the entire world. Despite this nearly all has been lost to history and the surviving works are mostly wall paintings.
A similar situation exists for the written works, most books and letters have been lost forever.
There was no civilisation on the same level in the entire world with Ancient China coming in second place.

i didn't even check this board, what a fool i have been. so much wizzardry about reading for me to enjoy!

i made a thread about (ebook) reading and what a wonderful thing the modern e-ink display is. please come visit https://wizchan.org/lounge/res/323200.html

it is very pleasant to the eye and can be used in full sunshine. where i live they spray aluminium in the sky to block the sun as to make the people sick more so whenever there is a short moment of sun, i hurry and quickly grab the ereader and try to sit in it.

>Do audiobooks count?

until i found my lord and savior the kobo ebook reader, i could only listen to audiobooks.

i tried to listen to an old book that someone bothered to make an audiobook version of with an ai narrator voice and it felt so awful and unsettling to listen to a robot that i thought "actually reading myself can't be worse then that"

… and it wasnt.

i still like audiobook read by the author but reading is nice to, especially in mild sunshine.

audiobooks don't really seem convenient to me
I remember listening to some book-cds as a very small kid though
the format doesn't seem appropiate for books
listening is for radio or podcasts, not books where you have to sometimes pause and think
unless you only read very simple fiction books

Where is the robomage? Robo thread Anonymage 09/24/25 (Wed) 06:00:34 No.69816 [Reply]

I think there was a thread here not long ago of a mage building humanoid robots. It was themed like the bible, with something about the female robot being eve and the male adam. The structural parts were fiberglass, I think? Robomage please come back and show your progress. I think about it every day.

Look at his /diy/ threads. I think his obsession with his robots is interesting and admire his relentlessness but it is quite clear that he has no idea what he's doing. His arrogance when experienced people point out his ignorance is off-putting. That being said, I do not resent him and wish him all the best but looking at his track record it seems unlikely he'll get even remotely close to success.

Do you think we will ever have a breakthrough moment of mass adoption of robotics like we did with smartphones, computers, AI, cars?
Like the beginning of a new era where all kind of robots are embedded in every facet of society? I don't think a lot of people could imagine today back in the 50s or 60s.
Then again the tech might just stay at it's current level for decades.
Maybe the cost is just too high, mass adoption of smartphones only became possible when very cheap low-power computing became the norm.
I don't see robotics hardware dramatically dropping in price anytime soon. Maybe we'll see some attempts in the future to lower the price by mass production and standardisation, but then there have to be cheap makers and sufficient demand of robots too.
Anyway everyday tech did not have any dramatic breakthroughs since the mass adoption of smartphones.

I managed to read this, Letters from a Stoic by Seneca. He lived in the times of the New Testament.
I enjoyed reading this, there are useful tiny tidbits here and there which still hold up today. It's also fun if you are interested in the Romans.
This is also good if you have read that meme book by Marcus Aurelius (which I also did) and you still want to continue.

>We have all been to deviantart and seen how things pan out for people who buys into the "drawing from the imagination and developing skills through hands-on trial and error"
Yeah, we see them having fun and laughing with their fellow artists for years in spite of their skills. This argument is moot though because the reality is that most of DeviantArt's contributors are drawing with the help of books and references.
>The saying "drawing from reference is cheating" is a straight up lie
It's not drawing period. I didn't read any of your post beyond that. The witch (drawing) is a better contribution to the drawing thread than the cat (conversion of medium)

Here's some stuff I drew recently. I am taking a break today though because I managed to hurt my wrist drawing on a small tablet in bed for too long, and I made myself paranoid about developing some sort of injury. I realize it probably isn't productive at my level to be painting/coloring yet but it's too fun. There is something really appealing to me about the color palette of deep sea fish/siphonophores so I wanted to paint some of those. Also I was looking at some Jap Zbrush artists and was so entranced with how their models looked I copied them.
