Preaching the use of GNU/Linux & GPG. Only had one or two takers. Both I built and maintained for. I'm married to one and the other lives an hour drive away and I don't drive.
No one listens. No one ever listens bar my wife. I'm offering free computers in exchange for practicing the art of preaching. No one has even accepted it bar my wife. facepalm We're all gonna die very very soon now.
I don't know if it counts: but, despite not knowing how to read chords, read musical sheets or play any instrument, I'm a music addicted. Like... I know a lot of musical styles, enjoy obscure genres and oddities and watch videos of people peculiar instruments while etc... My newest obsession is lostwave. I kinda find intriguing about how many unknown songs still unidentified for more than a decade. And, when a lostwave that I enjoy to listen is finally identified, it's enough to make me happy for days! It's crazy, I know.
What's lostwave?
There are 2 types of LW:
Unknown songs (there is a snippet or a full version of audio recorded, but the title/artist weren't identified)
Songs that are lost (there are a title and/or the name of artist, but no one is able to find it).
Anyway... Is kinda of a hobby to wait for the song to be found/identified. And there are times that the time spent waiting worths a lot. There is a brazilian synthpop song that was a mystery for almost 30 years. The song kept the placeholder of Fond my mind while it was unknown. The song was identified (by the artist himself) as "Feels Like a Wish" from the duo Station K on December from the last year. I follow a lot of channels on YouTube about it! It's fascinating.
Ah like that infamous shh bby is ok reddit post XD
Hahahaha! The sensation is the same. :)

Probably sharks.
Rabbits. Had them as pets throughout my childhood and I was fascinated with their behavior. Sadly, some of my knowledge came from irresponsibleness as pet stores used to sell them willy nilly without good care instructions. This was also during the dial-up modem era so there wasn't much on the internet then either.
Here's some things to know:
I love when they binky
Oh yes, binkying was always pure joy to watch!
Computer Science, hacking, physics, economics, geopolitics, jazz music... Im a generalist mostly
Elasmobranch reproduction and embryology. It's just a topic that has always been interesting. Sharks, rays, and skates are all rather closely related. But we have skates- which lay eggs (oviparity); rays- which give live birth, via internal egg incubation (ovoviviparity); and sharks- which, depending on the species, lay eggs, incubate the eggs, or experience a more "mammalian" pregnancy known as vivparity. And then, there is the intrauterine cannibalism that is known in the species Carcharias taurus, where the fetal sharks are still developing, the yolk sacs have been depleted, so the fetal sharks eat the others within the uterus, resulting in the birth of two offspring (sharks have two uteri, so one from each).
And then there is the parthenogenesis phenomenon, that we only know about because of captivity. Certain sharks- notably bamboo sharks- if absent of a mate, can trigger a response that causes ova to mature and develop into a clone of the mother. This is also known to happen in lizards.
And a large number of female elasmobranchs can also store the sperm of males after copulation to fertilize their eggs for years.
It's just a fascinating topic all around.
Series and movies.
DJing, crypto, sports cars with manual transmissions, and building PCs. It's a damn shame that I still have to occasionally visit reddit, cause Lemmy doesn't have any active communities for any of my hobbies. Hell, this place is actively hostile towards two of them. I understand why, but damn.
Is it DJaing and crypto? Why does Lemmy hate DJaing ? ….wait.. is it manual transmission? Does Lemmy hate sports cars with manual transmission? 🙃
Crypto and cars
Tadpole shrimp! I just think they're neat :)
Nothing, I like things but idk I don't feel like I get that heavily invested
I'm a bit of a grammar/language nerd-- I think it's interesting to see the different structures of languages and the various ways concepts get communicated. Also by looking at what's on the level of single words you can get an idea about what's important culturally.
For example in Japanese, there's not really a word for brother or sister, you always have to say olderbrother or youngerbrother. That's because the hierarchy of ages was important enough culturally to get codified into the language.
