Ross of Ottawa@rasterweb I have to actively avoid some interesting things as they hold the risk of becoming another hobby.
@ottaross Yeah, you get it!
Cassandrich@rasterweb I feel like the word "hobby" is a capitalist construct to delegitimize anything you do that someone isn't paying you to do.
@dalias I tend think of hobby as an activity you enjoy doing that doesn’t provide you with monetary reward.
ashe@dalias @rasterweb even in a non capitalist society I feel like there's be a meaningful separation between "this is something I am serious about dedicating my life to" and "this is something I just do for fun"
Shae Erisson@rasterweb high voltage 1980s Russian vacuum tubes, mountain unicycles, swedish language texts from before the 1900, magical symbols, and so much more.
I'm fun at parties?
Seiðr@rasterweb I miss "I would need another life to keep all my hobbies at the same level."
abby@rasterweb drowning in hobbies 😭 just too many cool things but the coolest things take so much time

Workshopshed@rasterweb Picked option 3 but probably also have option 4 to some extent
Krahabors@rasterweb One more option - my hobby collecting resources for several hobbies
@krahabors MetaHobby!
Psymo@rasterweb I used to have hobbies before kids and house reno 😒
@psymorama Perhaps you’ll return to them in the future?
@rasterweb yea please!
@psymorama My list of hobbies exploded once the kids got older and could do their own things. If they're young cherish that time and try to do "hobby" type of things with them.
@rasterweb that is a good point we do do lots of nice things together. Must approach it with the right mindset.
Serge 🔻@rasterweb @edgeofeurope my bank app should have a default pop-up that says:
No, you have enough hobbies.
I’d be rich AF.
Martin@rasterweb
But since I'm retired they're called 'jobs'

@mjsberna Hmm, I may need more of an explanation...
nop2net 💛💙@rasterweb I have a couple of the same hobbies – anyone fancy swapping?

@rasterweb Is reading and collecting books a hobby?
@kimlockhartga It sure is!
@rasterweb Yay!
I look for deals on used books in particular. There are first editions just waiting to go to a good home.

I'm categorizing my golf obsession as a hobby. It's definitely not a sport considering the level I play at.
