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.

This is going to sound like a shitpost but I have this recurring dream that some ethic foreigners are trying to steal my car. It always ends with me killing them in some way. Half the time the car in question isn't even the car I drive IRL but I know it's mine and they want to take it.

I get these dreams about video games or romhacks which do not exist complete with entire mechanics and stories. The games always give this child like excitement and go paired with this feeling of when I played games as a child.

I play a lot of multiplayer military shooters that aim for realism in the way weapons are handled, and I also do shooting sports IRL. This gives me a lot of dreams in which I'm just an armed soldier tasked with doing mundane military tasks or going and killing communists. Being an actual warrior in these dreams is cool but sometimes the dreams lean more to the videogame side and I end up dying because I'm lagging out or the controls are being unresponsive. Like you know how men have dreams about punching people but the dream doesn't always let the punch really land? I keep needing to shoot communists but the gun isn't working. Last night was a case of me needing to set up a radio on the field but it kept being red and translucent to indicate that it couldn't be placed there, and I died trying to find a place where the game would let me set it up. Then the dream went realism mode and I was shooting at bad guys (Slavs) who were holed up in a building, but then I found out there were also nice cats and dogs in the building too and I may have harmed them so I woke myself up by killing myself.

One thing that completely captivates my interest and imagination is reading about genocides. Some might perceive it as an immature morbid fascination, but for me I think genocide connects aspects of history, politics and human psychology I find interesting.

I collect certain things related to genocide. I have a ‘srbosjek’ - a Serb cutter. The hand knife was used to cut the throats of Serbs during the genocide by the Croatian Ustasze.

I have always thought that beneath the veneer of human civility and empathy, most humans are under certain conditions capable of psychopathic acts of cruelty. Humans bend to social pressure with ease and our empathy is not as strong as it is performed. Lord of the Flies is an understatement.

I visited Cambodia and was really blown away by the history there. The ideology of the Khmer Rouge was fascinating. The number of people that took part in the genocide and only 3 were prosecuted.

It is very difficult to find some actual information on genocides which isn't tainted by politics or propaganda. I wonder why politicians and governments have such a fixation on this stuff. Maybe it is simply because they were committed by political regimes.

I collect the cards, though I don't really play the game. I'm 26 and still live with my parents as a hikki, so my parents are trying to force me to get a hobby to get me out of the house so I"m thinking of playing the game at my local card shop

I played some Yu-Gi-Oh! with my older sister yesterday, Forbidden Memories rules since we grew up on that. It was a lot of fun! I'm leaving my parents' house soon though, just came by to visit for the weekend, this got me in a Yu-Gi-Oh! mood yet again, I might play some more today, and when I'm home I think I'll pop in a video game to play solo as I come from work.

I'm 30 and I don't play it, but I used to in elementary school. 2 succ actually stole my pack of cards but got caught and had to give it back.
I remember really enjoying playing this game with other kids on the playground but they tried to steal or swindle these rare or expensive cards I had acquired.
I'm not familiar with the current game, but as I see it back then it had this early 2000s feeling/atmosphere about it which made it so fun together with the anime and the GB/GBA games. It must have lost this feeling surrounding it.

When I used to drink tea, I liked this basic very cheap black tea from the discount supermarket. Basically a generic version of pic related, tastes good with lemon and sugar.
However I've become a caffeine addict, and I now tinker and specialise in coffee, which takes up my "drinking liquid" slots of the day.
Tea definitely is respectable and I would still drink it if I didn't need my caffeine.

I used to be interested in this kind of stuff. It all starts falling apart when you start looking for something tangible, like a hard prediction. Or some real information about people's personalities. Then you notice they start coping with ascendant signs to explain why the virgo behaves like a sagitarius or moon signs when 2 people befriend each other but there signs shouldnt like each other.
It is just endless cope and fitting predictions. The personalities described are also so vague, I think you could see yourself in several signs. It is just a huge scam which has been going on since antiquity, I was once reading some texts from the 5th century warning about astrologers being a scam and a waste of money. I guess it is still cool to learn about the stars and the constellations and their terminology, but this would be called amateur astronomy.

While I agree with you in this part I think there's something real on the houses. Virtually everything that it says about my life on each house is eerily, precisely accurate and it's not random vague shit, nor is it a good thing in fact. The rest of the charts sound like bullshit, indeed

This is kind of what I mean, you read a lot of astrology and then suddenly you find something eerily accurate, ignoring most of what you read didn't really apply and that most of it describes common everyday behavior

Do you have a driver's licence? If so, how did you managed to obtain it? In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.

It took me almost 1.5 years (including the COVID shutdowns) to get one. I also had to wageslave to be able to pay for the training, it's not cheap around here.

My motivation was that I live in a remote, hilly part of a small town, right next to a forest and there is no public transportation here. I was hold hostage up here, totally isolated. Sound good, but I was totally dependant on my parents to get into the town. I couldn't just go to the groceries, that would be a 2+ hour journey.

It's my single greatest achievement and I'm pretty proud of it. Driving is very useful skill, and one that is realistic and obtainable for NEETs, wizards. A way to make yourself more independent from your parents, others.

What are your thoughts?

US has 14.2 traffic fatalities per 100k. China has 17.4. For reference Sweden is the lowest major country with 2.1 and Zimbabwe is the highest at 41.2. So there's not really much difference between the US and China. China has actually implemented stronger standards recently too and competition in the marketplace is such that unsafe cars don't sell well.

I hate how I hate to drive so much every day… often I get close to being involved in accidents and it reminds me that a small mistake can cause so much damage, I could become crippled or simply die because of a stupid error, maybe hurt or kill someone and ruin my life feeling guilty for ruining someone else.

No, they make this absurdly expensive in my country, talking about the fees to get it.
But I also live in a city in Europe where I can walk to most things, don't even have to use a bike or public transport, so I can get away with this.
Living in one of those ultra-American suburbs where everyone uses vehicles seems unreal to me.

Recently I've been getting into photography. I've found that after doing so, I perceive moments in different ways. Things simultaneously seem more transient, yet more permanent. It's a sensation that's difficult to describe, except to say that I am more 'aware' of the moments around me. For obvious reasons I have avoided urban areas, but in terms of landscapes and natural shots, it is quite peaceful.

Any photography hobbyists here?
