Did 3 of them already in the past two years, and was considering signing up for Pickleball.
Did I speedrun a midlife crisis in my 20s? π€ Never did pickleball, but that's pretty synonymous with retirees over 60 in my corner of the world.
Which AI generated slop are you?
Well I'm forty now and about 6 months ago I decided that after nearly 30 years of listening to metal music I was going to finally learn how to do harsh vocals/metal screaming. Still an enormous amateur, and I have a lot to learn, but basically just this week I finally got to the point where I don't hate listening to my own screams.
So uh, whatever you wanna call that midlife crisis, that's mine.
Music πΌπ΅πΆ
More specifically: playing the instruments: drum, piano/keyboard, clarinet, guitar, whatever else π₯πΉπΈπ·πΊπ»πͺπͺποΈ
Bonus points for "getting back to", as in: something you got a start as a young fella but then life happens and you stopped doing it, and now that your bone aches when it is cold your mind went to old times when life felt brighter.
Miniatures wargaming and lifting over here. Also got divorced, which was good.
BDSM. I have integrated pretty quickly into the local community, and I'm a regular at munches and play parties.
Wait, BDSM is a group event?
I thought it was more like a partner tennis, not community soccer.
Think of it as more of a space where people can meet up and get freaky. 90 percent of the time is people standing around and chatting in fetish gear.
I guess running. About 4 years ago, I started on the treadmill with an exhausting 30min/mi. Earlier this week I completed my first 7min/mi. Along the way, I added a 28min/[email protected]% and am working on a 60min/10k (today did 62min/10k).
That's awesome! Well done, and keep up the hard work. Don't forget to stretch.
Okay I'll bite
What is pickle ball? Is it like Calvin ball? Also, whoever finishes reading this comment will forget they were ever gay.
I started collecting Lego again.
... and running.
I don't see "an increasingly difficult to ignore urge to bomb an oil pipeline" on here.
That comes under running , grad school and Japan
Oh wait. You said ignore...I had already committed and planned my escape to Japan
S Tier response
Fucking math.
Yes give me sudden urge to self-study linear algebra for shits and giggles. Ima go look at math memes now.
I nearly failed math my entire life wdym it will suddenly become interesting for no reason.
Hey... Wanna go down the geometry rabbithole?
https://archive.org/details/introductiontono031680mbp/page/n76/mode/1up
It has points at infinity, area as a function of angle defect, a triangle whose angles sum to 0...
Try self-teaching yourself programming If you like math, you'll greatly enjoy being able to apply it.
As a elder millennial, I am slotted heavily into the running category. Everyday!
Where is the drinking and BBQing one?
I'm only 33, a bit young for midlife crisis, but I've gotten into ham radio. I think it's probably the most I've spent on a hobby. Even budget radios that can communicate over the horizon are pretty pricey.
Edit: The most I've spent on a hobby to get started on a hobby, that is. I've definitely sank much more money into video games and when I played it Magic the Gathering.
You're never too young to have a midlife crisis. Have two or three.
Ham radios are awesome though and that's less of a midlife crisis hobby, and more of a crisis hobby.
Le sigh. Grad school
Iβm not quite there yet but i would probably just keep on cycling. Itβs a great sport and even better for a midlife crisis. Thereβs even a word for it: MAMIL (Middle-Aged Men in Lycra)
I'm a middle-aged cyclist (though I got into it around 20) who eschews lycra. I hate the look, the fit, and the feel. I bike in vans slip-ons, running shorts, and t-shirts. At most I'll wear chamois under the shorts. No clips for me either, flats with the peg screws forever. 90% road cyclist btw, very little mountain biking. Oh and no fitness tracker / GPS as of a few years ago. I just need as little friction as possible between being not on the bike and being on the bike. For me it translates to more fun and many more miles. These days some would call my style "xbiking".
There are many different sorts of cycling though. Mountain biking and road cycling seem to be the two that can involve spending a lot of money on high end gear that is well suited to a mid life crisis.
I just go on bike rides to the beach on my bike that only cost mid 3 figures.
