"All you need is a pair of running shoes!" And another. And another. And another. Ad infinitum $$$

[–] [email protected] 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

But how expensive is obesity?

Those shoes are damn worth it!

Take up running they said. It's free!*

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

Sweat-wicking shirts! Compression socks! Non-bouncing shades! UV-proof hats! Neck buffs! Trail shoes! Gaiters! Racing shoes, carbon-plated! Recovery flipflops! Base layers! Jackets, rain and windproof! Reflective gear! A smartwatch! Training plans! Runners' memoirs! Club membership! Race signup fees! Gels! Electrolyte mix! Protein bars!

And have you tried spirulina, it does wonders for recovery (so they say)

This is why I turned to hardcore drugs. Much cheaper.

...Factorio counts as a drug, right?

Schedule 1. No inherent benefit whatsoever. Just time dilation.

Mine is gardening. Cheap to start, gives you exercise, and ultimately pays you in food.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Except if you plant flowers. Bulbs taste awful.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

Go eat some flowers!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Depends on the flower. Brassicas are generally edible and technically flowers.

Asparagus is just a fern. Idk what pineapple is but it looks fake.

Sunflowers are nice too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Pineapples are compound berries.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

They grow like someone's trying to prank others into thinking it's how they grow.

You can trade or sell bulbs though

I mean, what else to spend spare money on besides the things I enjoy. Like other people spend thousands travel. I spend the same amount on a box of Warhammer. Jk. I can't afford Warhammer.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

No! You're supposed to be miserable for your entire youth by saving and investing every penny you don't need to survive! That way you can afford all the medical bills and therapy you'll need when you're old and retired and have had a life devoid of joy!!

Sigma grindset!!!!

Be sure to see if your local library or community center has hobby stuff to check out or cheap classes! YMMV depending on how well funded they are, but it’s becoming really common to have a 3D printer, specialty baking pans, tools, etc.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Bruh. 3d printing is a mildly expensive gateway hobby that funnels things into other hobbies

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

It’s free at my local library because it’s new. Their cost plan for when they start charging is free for the first 3 hours of printing and then a max of $10 for a 10 hour print.

Am I the only person with financial self control?? (I hate joy)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's usually a point in hobbies where you can find a great price/enjoyment point. Until you want to go deeper down the rabbit hole

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Why go deeper when you can quit a hobby every 3 months. th-3134988934

Turns out PC's are a cheap hobby.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Many hobbies are cheap if you choose wisely out of your possible interests; and then go with cheap, good enough options rather than getting swept up in online echo chambers (where nothing less than top tier is acceptable).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

Yeah but they don't pull the dopamine like the expensive ones do

Gunpla gives me great joy, until I look at my bank account.

#expensivehobbyautism it gets us all at one point.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

I got some 35mm film cause I was playing with the idea of film based astrophotography on my 3d printed telescope and wanted to test out a few different types of film.... And since the local places are charging $16+ per roll, was going to develop them myself.

Am I doing this right?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My bike is my pride and joy but good god she is also a money sink.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Do you mean bicycle or motorcycle? What do you find yourself spending most of your bike money on? Most of my bicycle maintenance is for brake pads and the occasional replacement chain; not as many replacing tire tubes after getting nicer tires. Although I haven't been able to enjoy mine lately after putting on weight and 4 seats I've tried still make my butt numb after 20 minutes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

I ride downhill mtb. Most of my money is spent on replacing broken parts from crashes and maintenance. Can’t have things failing when you’re flying down a mountain.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago

Well it's not like I can spend it on house,kids, vacation or anything else high ticket.

[–] Mandy 7 points 1 day ago

There is a hell of a lot of things I would have loved to turn into hobbies if weren't for the money
