At least you haven’t got the Linux austism in which you and no other IRL person talks about
What's your hobby?

If your city has a “Linux User Group” or maker/hackerspace thing, you might just find you’re less alone than you previously thought.

If you’re good at science but not good at math, you still can’t do it for a living.

Charles Darwin applied for an interview, you said? Yeah I’ve heard of him. Tell him to contact us when he’s able to solve some differential equations. Literally unhireable fuck, who does he think he is.
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 year ago
Thete’s a modern times Charles Darwin?

How can you be good at science if you’re not good at math. Seriously asking a question here.
NotSpez@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Is is possible to be genuinely very good at designing all kinds of experiments and executing them wothout having any interest/significant capabilities in solving the statistical work involved. I think you see this a lot in medical science. Luckily science is almost always performed in teams where everyone has their own bot of expertise.
Also, there are the more qualitative (instead of quantitative) sciences like anthropology where you simply don’t need the strong math.

I got the “find a new hobby and get so totally wrapped up in it that 6-18 months later I get bored with the hobby and find another hobby”. Like, I’ve attained a certain level of expertise and understanding which makes it quite dull, time to bounce

Just spent $890 on new golf clubs.
I haven’t even played in 3 years and I was shit when I did… Hobbies are my smashed avo.
thorbot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Nothing wrong with having a hobby of watching golf videos and having the option to golf golfing if you want to. There’s worse hobbies out there. Like doing meth or sculpting dragon dildos
saltesc@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I used to rock climb a lot but sustained a couple very bad injuries, resulting in all of my muscle going as I couldn’t climb for 18 months. Now it’s depressing struggling on what used to he warm ups.
I’m hoping golf gets me back outside more frequently and helps with the long recovery.
If not, whoops…

Collecting hobbies. Idk. I just pick up whatever fancies me at the time. I realize this is not possible for a lot of people, and I’m sad about that, but it’s really the only thing that keeps me going.
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Same! I’ve picked up and put on hold rubik’s cubes, lock picking, astronomy, astrophotography, and I’m currently getting more interested in chess than my ELO should allow

I spend 1000€ on a stock and it went to zero.

Congratulations on your $3000 salt toilet.

People tend to think of flightsimming and trainsimming as expensive, since compared to other games they kind of are, but I look at Warhammer, and even model trains and feel considerably less bad.
That said model trains are cool, but I’d only want to do it as part of a club where I can split the cost with other people.
UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I had a model train set when I was a kid. I liked laying track and wiring everything up but didn’t have the patience or creativity for scenery or theming.

OMG, my kids have this type of autism!
NotSpez@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Shouldn’t have vaccinated them! /s

Reading. You should try it too. You can get unlimited supplies for literally free from the local library.
sudo22@lemmy.world 1 year ago
My attention span is so torched by the internet I can’t anymore. Which makes me sad because I loved reading as a kid.
I do however still enjoy audiobooks while driving.
Gustephan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Warhammer 40k. I’m also a semi accomplished electrical engineer and currently working on a PhD in data science/machine learning, so at least I got the “good at math and science” variety to support my “expensive hobby” variety
ThtCrzyBstrd@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I just spent roughly $400 on paints, a combat patrol, a box of Harlequins for my wife, and a handful of DIY hobby bits last night.
This hobby is already bullying my wallet…

i spent 2500€ on a guitar and it’s not even made in america, it’s a made in mexico fender
and i love it
kamen@lemmy.world 1 year ago
At least that’s not something that goes obsolete in 4-5 years like many things tech.
riceandbeans161@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
yeah it’s already 12 years old and will probably last me the rest of my life. Nothing on it you can’t fix in one way or another.
Nerorero@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Mim can be better than Mia guitars sometimes
riceandbeans161@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
i have a bunch of mim fenders and i have to agree, they’re fantastic instruments. And this Kurt Cobain Roadworn Jaguar is honestly the best guitar i’ve ever played.

What’s is the original is this meme?
sudo22@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I honestly didn’t know so I had to look it up. The original said “rhythm game”

My hobby is being normal, it’s quite difficult
OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social 1 year ago
These days the most expensive hobby of mine lately is just keeping the fucking lights on. Electricity prices are insane now.
Aside from that though, I really like cooking and experimenting with recipes and flavour profiles, and regularly ingredients and fresh vegetables to be able to indulge this.
I go in and out of being deeply obsessed with painting too, so art supplies take up the rest of my budget recently.

Laser holography, it costs so fucking much :( :( :(
H2207@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Literally anything with tech, new hardware, new laptop, bigger VPS or another Raspberry Pi. My bedroom is starting to look like some back-alley tech store from a dystopian movie.
Oh and, to top it all off, Star Citizen.

How bad is it? Your Star Citizen hangar value?
H2207@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Not too bad actually, a few hundred quid. Aurora MR game package which I quickly CCU’d to an Avenger Titan, some IAE 21 red Artemis armour and a Prospector to make bank.
