I like learning about random ass hobbies without ever indulging in them.

I watch an ungodly amount of aquarium / terrarium videos, lurk a ton of aquascaping communities. I owned a betta fish in an empty bowl when I was 12 and that's it. (poor fish)

I read all you could know about book binding fanfiction, never done it.

I read a hundred pages long horse breeding guide for the game black desert online and I have no idea why. I only played the game for a month, spent most of it reading a google doc about horse. I'm not even sure I owned a horse in the game.

Sometimes I try the hobby, for example mini painting, and don't have the patience for it. But I still watch some random dudes on youtube paint for hours and sometimes they don't even talk!

No idea why I am like this

Found it hard to parse, and my mind immediately went with โ€œYeah, of course people have written fanfics about book binding,โ€ foolishly extending rule 34 to cover it. Of course, there might have been that one fanfic about bookbinding.

But yeah, of course people have printed and bookbinded (bookbound[ed]?) fanfics. But for that to have a community? That's unexpected.

And you know what? It shouldn't be called rule 34, but rule 69. Would be much easier to remember that way.
