What is your "trail of hobbies"? (lemmy.world)

Found myself starting to think about trying some new thing that sounded cool, and realized it might be fun to think about all of the random interests, crafts, hobbies and pursuits I've chased on tangents to my life. It's easy to feel like a bum or a failure for dropping hobbies and that could cause hesitation in starting something new, but on sheer volume I bet some of us have impressive lists. Requirement is that it never made you real dependable income and wasn't a career for you. Aside from that, sky is wide open. It can be something you tried for a few weeks, years, or still do. What's your trail of hobbies?

  • Tap dancing

  • Running
  • Cooking
  • Baking
  • Cake & cookie decorating
  • Drawing

Not exactly hobbies, but niche topics I got randomly intrigued by and have watched dozens and in some cases hundreds of hours on:

  • Deaf culture (but not attempting to learn ASL)
  • Ex-mormons (Not religious and no relation to mormonism lol)
  • Religious fundamentalism & cults
  • Therapists breaking down reality television
  • Legal analyses & breakdowns of high profile and/or pop culture lawsuits and trials

Oh yeah deep dives into random topics is another whole thing haha. Therapists breaking down reality TV sounds very intriguing in a guilty pleasure kind of way. My thing is probably the psychology behind conspiracy theories, I've been reading a lot of books and watching video essays on that since Covid.
