[Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation

Writing poems, stories, playing games, singing, listening to any kinds of music, or just basically anything that would kill time

Before kid: Reading, astronomy, cross-fit, nail polish, coloring, playing the Sims, cross-stitching, DnD.

After kid: Sleeping, DnD, cross-stitching, and a little tiny bit of astronomy (involves bargaining with spouse).

Writing and developing original characters. Usually I have 0 motivation to write short stories for them, but I have endless inspiration that I jot down in my notes. I also like rewatching my favourite shows and movies (lately that has been The Office US and Breaking Bad).

Edit: maybe it doesn’t count as a hobby, but lately I’ve been finding myself trying to be more outward and daring. Carefully testing my limits socially and stuff like that. And I do feel good about how more straightforward and confident I’ve become.

My main hobby is critical listening (aka listening to music like a pseudo-audiophile)

Some other hobbies I have include watching cartoons, music production (still really bad at it), and collecting old electronics.

I have two jobs so some reading is all I can manage time wise. I'm jealous of your hobbies.

Flying airplanes. It's a great community and I've made life-long friends, gone to some amazing places and seen awesome things. My daughter just got me back into SCUBA diving also because she wanted to get certified.

ADHD kept me from being able to engage. I don’t get a reward out of it so basically don’t have hobbies.

Solo game developer (and fellow ADHD-haver) here. I do the coding, 3d modelling, animations, and even a little bit of sound design. It's all incredibly time-consuming though.

Knitting, rowing, beekeeping, walking, photography, computers (tinkering, running websites for other people), reading. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with activities, and lately I've not done as much photography as I'd like. But I really enjoy everything I do - I have a great bunch of friends with overlapping interests.

i write, short stories mostly existential horror, and "essays" about anything i find interesting (that really just means i ramble about things i find interesting for several hundred-1000+ words on tumblr); also i made and maintain a personal website, i make mods and themes for things other people make cuz i don't code enough to make anything of my own; sometimes i make videos but i'm generally too shy to do that regularly; i play video games; i collect plushies; and i recentlyish picked up making pixel art

i also want to get into crochet, cooking, and gardening but my time with those has so far mostly just been using social media to see what other people do. i mean i cook but wouldn't classify how i do cooking as a hobby lol

i have adhd too, also i'm agoraphobic, and in addition to ideally being able to orbit around several hobbies i also just need things to fill in my time since i don't get outside very often

Fermentation! (sourdough, beer, cider, veggies, used to yogurt, some day cheese)

3d printing (mostly functional, but some fun parts. I'm really trying to understand the boundaries so I can push them.)

I've taken up crochet for a while now and it seems to be a keeper (I tend to flit between hobbies a lot). I guess what makes this different is that a lot of the things I make are for others. My daughter loves the bracelets I make for her (the ones I'm not keeping for myself :) And recently I made a little bunny as a going away present. Having a goal like that is a great motivator.
I hope it'll stick, because I do love it as a hobby. There's still so much to learn.

• ethical philosophy

• artisanal videogame design

• poetry

• cycling

• home improvement

16h of videogames a day... I'm learning to crochet but I'm not doing as much as I should

Hiking, video games, reading, climbing, manga/manhwa

Same as yours, but instead of cultivating them, I spend my time doomscrolling.

Synthesizers/sound design, music from extreme metal to baroque to pop, learning about anything that interests me (e.g. geography, geopolitics, world history, pop science level physics/astrophysics/paleoanthropology, religions and philosophy), the Godzilla franchise, terrible horror movies, Pathfinder 1E, and a voyeuristic curiosity surrounding conspiracy theories/the paranormal/the occult

I do sports shooting and I cycle a lot on my road bike

All the things you mentioned, except while replacing biking with what amounts to cryptography.

My hobbies are making things, growing things, and learning things.

It's the only way I can keep it to only 3 hobbies.

chess

reading

watching tv shows

is the gym and running a hobby? Idk, I also do that

For years my main hobby was guitar but in the last year I started cross stitching and I am now hopelessly addicted to it lol! I never would have guessed that would be a hobby I'd take up but I saw a pattern I liked and decided to try it once and have been doing it ever since!

Making things, mostly.

Lots of crafts like knitting, crochet, cross stitch, sewing, felting, origami, faffing about with clay, etc etc. And gamedev which I basically think of as the same sort of hobby because it's just making a different sort of thing.

Making YouTube videos about all of the above, in defiance of the algorithm gods.

Reading any and all scifi I can get my hands on, plus the Discworld series just over and over again endlessly on a loop.

Also the amount of time I spend on Mastodon and Lemmy probably means it counts as a rather lame hobby at this point...
