What do you create?

Submitted ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Yondoza@sh.itjust.works⁩ to ⁨nostupidquestions@lemmy.world⁩

I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.

Ive always hated that question. Its usually asked to determine social status.

  People in manufacturing and r&d quite like the question, I’d reckon. I wouldn’t relate it to social status.

    If you are from the same industry then yes.

  Disagree. Or at least, that’s just a side effect. I like talking to people about their expertise.

  I definitely didn’t read it that way from the post. I thought it was about your hobbies and creative interests. I guess you could infer social strata by whether the answerer has time and disposable income for hobbies. Some don’t require much investment, but it’s usually more than none.

I’m living on an old farm with lots of junk.

So naturally I am building an 8 foot tall wind-driven kinetic sculpture of a Wendigo.

I bought a welder and a cutoff saw. All the materials are retrieved from the trash gully that every respectable high desert property must have.

It’s a form of cope and even ritual magic for me. Embody the spirit of hoarding and greed so it is vulnerable and can be imprisoned, that sort of vibe.

It will take all winter to finish it. The rebar armature is flexible and bobs in the wind. I will add sun bleached oak branches to give it flesh.

Small mutant corn plants in little containers.

As a welder, I create a ton of shit. Today, I created a new handle for a lathe, cut off the old one, and bolted on my part so the lathe functions (mostly).

Resin dice, novels, 3D prints, paintings, video games, wooden furniture, RPG scenarios. I have way too many hobbies and maybe two hours per week to work on them, so in reality I create very little. But making something physical is incredibly helpful for keeping the worst of my depression at bay.
