All of them if you delve deep enough

I don't know whether anyone has mentioned this -- gacha games. Like cults, it forces you to pay a lot of money, but never enough to satisfy them. It always leaves you in a state of frustration. Video gaming is supposed to be a hobby, but the level of attention and resources demanded by these games are insane.

Celsius energy drinks.

I had a coworker evangelize about them so I decided to try them out. Every time I got one and tried it some complete random would come up 'Hey! You like Celsius? Have you tried the [whatever] flavors? [Other flavor] is my favorite!'

I found them all gross.

Their sugar free energy packets that you mix in water tasted like jello so I kind of liked those. I haven't tried the cans though.

Oh, a warhammer topic!

Warhammer - people at a local club have told me it is "heresy" to even refer to one page rules - a newish and very innovative wargame. That's the lifestyle players of course not everyone, the people who paint 20h a week while listening to Warhammer audio books play 8hs a week and do fuck all besides that. I have met loads of cool people in the hobby too, but omg those guys

Buying used panties from onlyfans sites.

Only if you’re not a fucking weirdo.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 12 hours ago

I got the panties from a Drag performance, and then I wrote them on ig asking them for a signature. I'm still procrastinating the job to make them frame in the most baroque frame I can find.

following a certain youtuber too. i onced followed some asian youtubers, that i stopped when they msygonistically "attacked an female employee and fired her, and turned super right". they even have these 2 loser female fans spend 24/7 patrolling thier channels gatekeeping and astroturfing the comment sections. and the rest of the fans are just as bad, it just reeks of incels for thier viewership and fangirl/groupies.

Nostr. I think the tech is cool, but the culture seems like some sort of cryptocurrency cult

Y'all have some weird ideas about what a hobby is. Parenting as a hobby cracked me up, that's just having a family, you presumably grew up in one of those. Religion isn't a cult-like hobby, it's a hobby-ish cult.

On the parenting front though, I think those pageants are, those kids do it for a hobby and I would consider it abusive, and hard to exit once they are in.
