>>42037Audiobooks for me. Some people are more impressed by it than say a hobby of video gaming. But as the old hobby-tier list said the true judge of hobbyness is active vs passive. In that sense audiobooks for me is not so different from just watchning cartoons, even if the academic niche topics is more impressive.
I started listening to cassette tapes back in 2007. I now have a collection of 250 books, I'm yet to finish. When I 1st started downloading audiobooks, I had to expand my horizons because there was a limited selection and I had to take anything I was the least bit interested in. While now there are many specialized niche academic books on all my fav topics.
My life is meaningless and without purpose and if I have any balls, I'll suicide within this year. Finishing these audiobooks serves no purpose and enriches me in no way, no more than finishing cartoon series does. And yet it is my existential quest to finish as many audiobooks as I can before I suicide. A task of Sisyphus as there is a new book that interests me out nearly everyday.

My hobby is take stray dogs from the street to my house and use then as guinea pig for some nice experiments. Some dogs I overfeed to death, other I induce diabetes and other illness to study it better. The last thing I did was some fetal poisoning to induce cancer on all puppies so I could have some useful data.
I was thinking about start doing it with humans since there are plenty of beggar out there that I could knockout, drag them inside my lab and them make few experiments.
I also would love have a baby to make his neurons stop dying during the process of learning walk.
When humans start learning walk millions of neurons die, millions. I would love see what happen if you not let those neurons die.
My hobby is Molecular Biology. I don't talk that to anyone because I could be arrested if they discover my lab. I'm looking forward start doing experiments with drug addicts, beggars and all types of disposable humans in 2020 or 2021 since I collect data enough with dogs.

My hobby is trying to save the world, or at least majorly improve it. Of course it's all just fantasy unless I somehow magically gained the ability to control myself, but I still like to think about what changes would be needed and how one could implement them. It's mostly philosophy and schemata building with an extremely broad focus. Eventually if I keep at it and become more firm in my convictions and I do manage to master myself, I could always implement one of my plans. One of them could only realistically be done in the next 10 years and I would have to start working very soon and it's the one with the greatest odds of success that I've been able to think of. I want to do it but I'm such a faggot. Please give me your mana wizzies.

Also, surely the fact that the Saints were willing to be martyred for what they believed suggests that they were more likely to be misguided fools than people with a hidden agenda?

>>46748I would really like to get into listening to the radio, but I lack any sort of equipment to do so. I messed around with radiogarden for a bit but it's really just not the same. Really, I'd like a nice analog tuner but they are fairly expensive, I'm not sure what would be a good re-entry apart from just buying a small portable radio from the thrift store, which just may end up in disappointment.
Does stationary deserve it's own thread? Lately I have decided I would like to go broke buying many different pens and inks after just starting out with a few. I bought a couple of Pilot Kakuno's in F and EF, which are certainly a better experience than the Pilot precise pens that I have been using for years. After, I ended up buying a converter and decided that experience is quite a bit more engaging than just replacing cartridges. Along with that order I did purchase an EF Kaweco Sport in iridescent pearl with a gold clip. Certainly a stellar looking pen, but the body material did leave a little to be desired. Regardless, it's very comfortable and smooth, save for the round grip rather than the triangular style that I prefer, but I'm still very pleased with it. After writing with a Kakuno for a little bit, I may have come to find the scratchyness of the EF tip quite endearing, it's sort of like a positive feedback mechanism.
I'm considering buying a Twsbi ECO-T with an EF nib now, but the jade color seems to not be available anymore, sadly. That particular color is available with the cylindrical grip, but I'm not sure if I want to get it. The mint blue is still available with a triangular grip, while the color is still nice, it doesn't really have the same appeal as the jade. Certainly it seems a little silly disregarding something as simple as a pen just for its aesthetic properties, but if I am buying a premium product, then I would like it to be appealing in all aspects.
Of course there would be more to stationary than just pens and writing utensils, but that is just what is on my mind at this very moment.

I smoke Cigars.
Is that even a hobby? I just consoom. Hardly a hobby but maybe worth a post in this thread I guess.
I started to smoke when I was 19. My father was a travelling company man (ala Jack from Fightclub) and I curiously asked for few cigars. It was just a curiosity I never smoked cigarettes before nor I tried any other drugs but somehow cigars stick with me. I smoked maybe 5-10 of them every year. There were years where I smoked 50 and years when I smoked none. I also started to read few books, tasted a variety of different brands and so forth. I think after 14 years I can say I developed a taste.
I absolutely detest the people who smoke cigars however. This goes beyond regular self hating or hating normies. The magazines about cigars have this retarded boomer alpha male thingie, similar to boomers riding Harley Davidson thinking they are hot shit. I never understood this association of masculinity with cigars, it is just another way of smoking tobacco. Nevermind the irony of putting a round phallic thing in your mouth is somehow "masculine".
I don't smoke pipes but they are far more chill and far less self conscious about this. You don't see a book about tobacco pipes citing Persian poetry for no reason.
