Woodworking is cool but my association with it is my dad just kinda making trinkets that accumulate. So it's a great skill that is best used if you have something to actually build and/or sell. I prefer cooking as a hobby for this reason. It's The Hobby You Can Eat!

I think that it's good to have a hobby that gets you out of the house at least occasionally, especially in These Challenging Times. I suggest getting a pilot's license or buying a motorcycle.

id say find a hobby where you know theres a local community of people into that hobby so you meet people and socialize more but as a list get a bike or a skateboard or rollerblades cooking, photography, learning a musical instrument, painting, acting, exercise/weightlifting, baking, making beer/wine/alcohol volunteering at a food bank or shelter, helping neighbors in need, learning to fix/make things (woodworking, electronics etc), any casual sport even goofy adulting ones like frolf or kickball all great hobbies try one see if you like it

i like going on long walks and exploring the city woodworking and such, i do those things some, but more finishing work as i know a bunch of carpenters. mostly that's just if i need a specific piece of furniture or whatever. i'll do that then and get back to other things

Sagebrush posted:hello every person on bumble. do you also enjoy laughing with friends and eating yummy food yes indeed, i suppose that does sound basic. i like adventures too :p in my particular case though, i moved here shortly before covid, and there's a bunch to explore, and my schedule is mostly free at the moment. so i've recently been exploring my surroundings considerably more than i had since i've been here

Walking in your local area and/or finding a nearby park with hiking trails are also good hobbies. Good for your body and mind.
