        As someone who has more hobbies than time, I seriously don’t understand how people can have no hobbies. How do these people live? How do they find fulfillment? What do they do in their spare time, only entertainment?

          They watch TV/movies/news.

          I’m also a person with a million hobbies. I’ve got TV or audiobooks on in the background as I do woodworking, smoke meat, play instruments, record music (ok, there’s nothing on in the background while I’m recording), go sing karaoke, rock climb, work on motorcycles, garden, or one of the other million things I might be doing. My family passively sits and watches television.

          As far as I’m concerned, that’s fine. If it makes them happy then I’m happy for them. I couldn’t be content that way but it takes different strokes to move the world.

          We’re too tired. That’s the answer. It’s not that watching TV is my hobby, it’s that I’m burnt out and don’t have the mental energy to do anything. My old hobbies feel like chores. New hobbies seem like so much work

          easy, I don’t find fulfillment. yup, only entertainment. maybe a bit of gaming here and there, mostly with friends.

          there are other reasons to suspect that I am depressed, though.

    Game development. I do the coding, 3D art and animation, everything. I don’t know if I’ll ever even finsh another project, and it’s incredibly time-consuming, but I enjoy it.

      Same, but honestly for me it is such a lonely existence. Even when I show off my projects to friends/family they can’t understand the effort that went into it… many seem to think there’s a “make racing game” button or something and I just added some textures or built a track.

      I often wonder if I should pivot into wood working or something else, at least I’d have something tangible to gift or sell at the end. People just seem to appreciate things they can hold in their hands more.

    I love the World Rally Championship, but it’s a pretty niche sport as it is, I doubt there are many fans in my whole town!

    But to answer your question, probably wanking

    Rubik’s cubes and puzzles like that . But that’s a very niche hobby anyways . I have a collection of probably 30 or so different cubes/ puzzles.

      As someone who used to be into cubing, I find it immensely amusing that it’s one of the few hobbies where the Chinese off-brand is actually better than the original name brand. My main cube was a Moyu Weilong GTS2M.

    LARP, and costuming/crafting for it. Amusingly, even among larpers I get a few weird looks when I explain my husband made my clothing, and I made his crossbow.

      I met a woman on FB years ago. She’s super effeminate, and tiny, and no one would ever guess that she forges swords in her backyard on the weekends, and I absolute love her.

    I play tabletop RPG games, and everybody I’m related to, parents, my brother, aunts and uncles, cousins, all think it’s silly and won’t ever touch a set of dice.

    House/techno DJing - I’ve got decks and about 800 records, but very very rarely have any time to practice as it’s nobody’s cup of tea! Oh well :-)
