Lemmy.

Playing with my penis

Honestly, hope more people start fixing their own stuff

Most of my hobbies are geared toward getting away from people so not sure how to answer this one.

Privacy.

Maybe this isn't a hobby but just hanging out. Video games, movies, road trips, or any type of activity without it being a big deal. No agenda or expectations. Just being social. I miss that from my younger years. Now everyone is busy, tired, and getting together takes a lot of prep.

RPGs that aren’t dnd

I sadly don't have any programming friends

Reading math books, Linux, Lemmy, and Extreme metal. I have nothing to talk about with people IRL other than the fucking weather (that I actually want to talk about).

I wish there were more normal people who play magic. Going to any shop to play is always a gamble, half the time the people you end up playing with smell bad or are socially inept, sometimes both. It’s a fun game if you have actual good people to play with.

Linux

Thinking.

Working from home.

Conlangs, we could reform the language world.

Honestly I can't narrow it down to less than 2:

• Australian Stingless Bee "farming": as the hobby is niche, even in Australia, there isn't much publicly available advancement in hive designs, propogation methods and care techniques for native bees. This makes the barrier for entry high, and the chances of losing a hive when inexperienced is moderately high too. More people in the hobby would hopefully bring in more discussion and experimentation, and make the hobby more accessible to others by hopefully bringing the price of hives down.

• TTRPGs/Wargaming outside of the big 2 games: if its not 40k or D&D, you are unlikely to find anyone that knows of alternate systems, let alone wants to play them. Makes it a lot harder to find a group outside of a game over discord or similar

Juggling. Friend decades ago taught me how to group juggle with other people. Lots of fun. But I've learned never to admit I'm into juggling, cuz apparently it's serial killer weird

Guess i'm the first to say it, sewing. Not necessarily making things from scratch but just fixing what you got and adding features. Fairly affordable hobby, easy to get into and plenty of tutorials.

Radio control airplanes. It's being regulated to death since the advent of quadcopters/drones.

Everything I do is pretty nerdy, I just wish there were more women, gaming, chess, progamming, etc.

• Privacy

  Protects one of your fundamental rights, or nearly all of them if you think about it, as well.

• ham radio

  Getting certified is super easy in many places and there are many hobbies within, such as electronics, building antennas, etc.

• poetry

  This hobby has to be the cheapest of all. Go to the park with a pen and paper, bonus points if you leave your phone at home, and let your mind wander :)

Ham Radio

Some aren't even aware the hobby still exists.

Easy to get licenced in most places, ham radios are cool pieces of clever tech. So many sub hobbies within. Digital modes, long distance, electronics, antenna design and building.

Unity development. I'd love to work with someone that knows Unity but no one I know knows what C# is.

Meditation

Chess. Specifically I wish I knew more people irl like my friends.

Being poor and feeling sorry for myself

Gaming, particularly games from 2013 and before. 🎮

Learning languages. It'd be nice if I could meet people irl who are interested in learning different languages and it'd probably keep my motivation up as I've been slacking.

Karaoke. After losing my old friends circle, I no longer have anyone to go karaoke with. :(
