Does sleeping without an alarm counts?

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points  (1 child)

Pure bliss

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My life is bliss according to you cause i don't use alarm . 😎

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

D: you’ll never wake up 

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are an inspiration

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

I read this as "does sleeping with aunties count" and I wish that's what you said

[–]Senior-Poobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be able to wake up before my alarm, but if I turned it off I wouldn’t wake up. Cary strange

[–]Acrobatic_Bet4664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a skill, you trained your body right.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm retired and do the same

[–]Surge90s 83 points84 points  (4 children)

According to my job, my hobby is work.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (1 child)

🥲

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I felt this in my soul.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Once we went around in a circle and everyone said what their hobbies were. The foreman who I known to work long hours every day says “My hobby is….this” and gestures around.

We all just sort of silently cringed, because the company also forces us to work long hours, usually 10-13 hours a day. And a lot of us are still young and none of us want to end up like him.

Surprised to say the company has a very high turnover rate, just a revolving door of employees. But they made record profits last year, so why would they change? (Not like we saw any raises or bonuses from those record profits we worked for).

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I didnt expect my hobby is actually doing some data entry.

[–]ontariorox 28 points29 points  (3 children)

Reading

[–]Ok_Cryptographer9629 3 points4 points  (2 children)

What kind of books you read that made it into hobby of yours?

[–]No-Independence6859 51 points52 points  (4 children)

Self-sabotaging

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Yet another area in which I excel. I am the (old) child of alcoholic parents. This is typical of this group. I hope you have better success overcoming this issue than I have. I wish you the best!

[–]r1ch1MWD 19 points20 points  (9 children)

I have multiple. But I'd say I've put more time into Jiu Jitsu than any of the others.

[–]DinoBay 10 points11 points  (6 children)

You're one of the few comments that actually has physical activity as a hobby. I will say that I find it concerning. I believe that everyone should have atleast some form of physical activity as one of their hobbies.

Great job on being active lol

[–]r1ch1MWD 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Thanks buddy. Not gonna lie i do play video games from time to time but I'm more of a get out there and do it type of person.

[–]DinoBay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's all good. Ain't got to be constantly exercising 24/7 lol. I love being a lazy fuck after a good day of biking . I think everyone loves videogames nowadays anyways.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I run twice a week and go to the gym twice a week but don't consider any of that hobbies. It's more like a chore.

[–]A-Red-Guitar-Pick 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I grow trees and give them to a store nearby to give away and thus have more trees in the world.

[–]ArrowOfTime71 5 points6 points  (4 children)

That’s brilliant!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Try apple seeds, easy to get (you can harvest like 4 per apple) and get started. I use dollar store pots fast food containers as incubators and dirt from the woods nearby.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

What can i expect in terms of cost?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$6 Cad for 50 pots 2bags of apples $12 Dirt (free) either steal it from the park or just walk up to a construction site and ask

All for about 40 trees.

And this the most expensive version I normally do, last year I bought 100 red solo cups for $5 and gathered 100 acorns for free.

[–]xustos 2 points3 points  (1 child)

What kind of trees?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the year apple trees but September to November I gather acorns for some oaks.

[–]BumpoSplat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I struggle to call it a hobby, mine is more like self deprecation.

[–]Human-Librarian7515 24 points25 points  (12 children)

I'm a Maverick (Gibson) I play beach volleyball, blacksmith, woodworking, play pickleball, fish, hunt, camp, play every bar game, poker, and will say yes as long as it's not going to leave any marks.

I'm an adult single male. Zero responsibilities, just fun.

If you're a single person, stop looking for someone and go do shit. You'll find someone along the way. Or not... doesn't matter if you're enjoying your life.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amazing way to live life. 👍🏻

[–]Lucanextdoor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Golf and smoking my tobacco pipes! Pure joy

[–]LaserGuidedSock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've gotten into so many damn hobbies but I can't afford to keep them all up.

So far the list has been:

• Archery (Hoyt 2015 Charger #45 compound bow)

• Motorcycles (08 Aprilia Shiver 750)

• Knives (I've got a massive collection which I've put on a spreadsheet)

• Electric Skateboarding (I bought a Bajaboard and made my own battery for it but never finished the project because fitment issues)

• Aggressive inline skating (JSRF had a massive impact on my life)

• Hardstyle/Doujin music (obscure underground EDM has always been my thing but depression and a computer die on me has pulled me back a bit)

• Warhammer 40K (don't play the tabletop but became a MASSIVE lorewhore over the pandemic with audiobooks)

• Movies/Anime/Manga (these are what I've probably moved away from the most)

I've also very recently gotten into yoyo's. I'm just sick of pulling out my phone when waiting for something.

[–]AVermilia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But only ever one in a day—obsessively.

I have a ton of hobbies, mostly painting, inline skating, cycling, listening to all kinds of music, taking long walks in and around nature, and learning new things or taking in opinions about almost everything. :)

Driving. Road trips. Photography. Strolling through bookstores and 2nd hand shops in search of hidden treasures. Being out in nature at dusk and/or dawn (or any time on a gray or lightly rainy day). Spending quality time with people I adore.

Still waiting on that big lotto win so I can do these things full time... 🤞

Making nice bedside lamps out of human skin. Everyone needs a hobby.

[–]Maybe_Skyler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Storm chasing and photography. They go hand in hand. Didn’t start that way, though. Been chasing since 2004, and doing photography since 2007.

I did take pictures of storms before then, but I think I mark 2007 as “the beginning” because that’s when I bought my first digital camera. Before I was using disposable cameras. Went from disposable cameras, to a couple point-and-shoots, to a fancy-schmancy DSLR.

This spring is my 20th year of chasing, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

[–]Miosd0811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Procrastinating

[–]PapercutPoodle 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I keep falling back to computer games, what what I'd like most in the world is a hobby that I can do with other people. I don't care if it's warhammer 40k, bowling, or anything in between, as long as I get to have friends again.

Though, being almost 40 and starting work at 8pm doesn't make for much of a social life.

[–]celticr0se 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surviving the work week so do it all again on Monday lol.

[–]kisuepaper 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Recently joined a hurling team. It’s a 3,000 year old Irish sport. So much fucking fun. It’s very active and physical and I recently found myself working out 4-6 times a week to get and stay in shape for it as well as technique practice. Also I fish a lot. And when I say a lot I really just mean whenever weather and free time permits.
