Religion IMHO is a hobby.
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
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.

All of them if you delve deep enough
Correct answer, pretty much any group will develop extremists after time.
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.
those kids do it for a hobby
The pageants are the parents' hobby. The kids are whisked into it at a vulnerable stage of development in which they don't have the agency to decide any of it for themselves.
I can agree with this. Like entering your dog in a dog show. I did want my kids in sport or dance as part of their education but told them if I ever gave criticism, to tell me to do the sport my own damn self. So they did their stuff as their hobbies, and I did my own art/sport stuff and kept out of theirs.

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.

People who code often come to their technical opinions via aesthetics rather than legit technical reasons. On 4chan/g/ there are people who only code in C, or only code in Lisp, or only code in Ocaml, and there's nothing you can tell them to convince them to use a new language because their hero is Terry Davis and they imagine themselves as living in Serial Experiments Lain. They code on projects with no real world applicability. I think the appeal behind Terry Davis is that these people are all building their temple to God, in a way.
Anyone using Linux, based on 60% of the content on lemmy. Uh… maybe also lemmy.
Have you not heard of our Lord and Savior glorious Debian?
I am not in a cult.
This is not a cult.
By the way since you never asked, can I interest you in a new way to use your computer?

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

Adults going to DisneyWorld as if it was a sacred shrine
i read an article where a guy was going there almost everyday, or every chance because had nothing else to do. i think somewhere in that article mentioned that people were creeped or got suspicious because he is a man with no children at that place frequently.
Lots of people that live locally near Disneyland or Disney World have annual passes. Except for a few "blackout" dates you can go for free everyday. I can't imagine why you would even go more than, maybe every 6 months.
When I meet a chick in an online dating way, at the first mention of Disney I'm gone. Unmatch, block, whatever's fastest.

There are two kinds of people who own a pressure canner - people who enjoy making preserves and fucking crazy people.
Sometimes a person is both.
The only reason I still have any normal friends is that my raspberry jam is freaking amazing. But I use that as an excuse to expound on the class war. It’s how they pay me back for the jam.
