All of them.
Yeah same here. My family doesn’t even have any hobbies
As someone who has more hobbies than time, I seriously don’t understand how people can have no hobbies. How do these people live? How do they find fulfillment? What do they do in their spare time, only entertainment?
They watch TV/movies/news.
I’m also a person with a million hobbies. I’ve got TV or audiobooks on in the background as I do woodworking, smoke meat, play instruments, record music (ok, there’s nothing on in the background while I’m recording), go sing karaoke, rock climb, work on motorcycles, garden, or one of the other million things I might be doing. My family passively sits and watches television.
As far as I’m concerned, that’s fine. If it makes them happy then I’m happy for them. I couldn’t be content that way but it takes different strokes to move the world.
Music. My parents weirdly never listened to music. When I was a kid, the most they would listen to was a Queen greatest hits album and another greatest hits from this 80s band from my country. But like, only on road trips.
I don’t know why, but ever since I was very young I loved music. One of the first birthday presents I remember choosing myself was a copy of Dookie (Green Day). I didn’t know what it was, but I loved the cover. Less than a month later we were back to the record store and I bought this brand new album by a band I had never heard before, In Rainbows by Radiohead. And that was it. I was hooked forever. Music was to become the most constant and important part of my life.
I spent years finding and listening to music. Trying to understand the history and development. Music really was my main hobby in high-school, like listening to music.
Nowadays I also play guitar and produce a bit, but I still listen to music as a hobby.
And my parents still don’t listen to music at all lmao. Even after enduring years and years of me hogging the AUX cable and forcing them to listen to everything from Wu Tang Clan to Burzum and Sufjan Stevens and Nirvana… but I love them. The most they would say is “wow this is very heavy” as I blasted black metal lol
I feel the same way. When I was a kid, my parents had a pretty small collection of tapes of religious music, and that’s the only stuff they would listen to. Once I got my first internet connection around the age of 12, a whole new world opened up.
Today, I listen to music all the time, while working, while driving. It was so weird (and depressing) to go on a trip in my sister’s car who doesn’t listen to music.
I’m the only one who is into dank memes and chatting online with strangers.
My siblings are into video games… But not the same ones I am into.
My siblings love D&D; I prefer Shadowrun. (I mean. I like D&D too but not as much as Shadowrun)
My sister is taking game design classes; but has never actually programmed (even for a class yet). Meanwhile, I have a ton of mods I’ve made for various things up on Steam workshops and the Nexus, as well as programming a few utilities for tabletop games. Because I like it and taught myself for the fun of it.
There’s a 1% chance that the weird cousin who never comes to family gatherings might be a furry. That’s absolutely it.
The idea of having hobbies in common with family members seems alien to me - which i think, to quote the meme phrase, Says A Lot About Society.
(Western concert) flute. Playing, maintenance/repair, collecting, different mechanics and other deviations from the norm, history.
Tea. All teas camellia sinensis/taliensis, and different cultural habits around it. Teapot
collectingaddiction.3D modeling and printing.
translating garfield comics
Everything. My family just sits on their ass watching tv all day.
Accountability.
LARP, and costuming/crafting for it. Amusingly, even among larpers I get a few weird looks when I explain my husband made my clothing, and I made his crossbow.
rpg and video games. unless you include stupid phone games. honestly anything considered nerdy/geeky from the past except for what is totally main stream. Like they use computers and have see super hero movies and animated movies. Honestly im pretty sure if work did not require it they might not use computers outside of smartphones.
all of them except my brother also plays video games? do you and your family all have the same interests
Atheism lol
am programmer
Lemmy!
Photography, gaming.
