The cast iron pan thing reminds me of how in the middle decades of the 20th century people who wanted to be cool and sophisticated ate fancy salads with dressing and everything in wooden bowls that they never washed. The more nasty and rancid your salad bowls were, the more awesome you were.

Can you tell me more about this fascinating hobby

A hobby's lameness can be determined by how it looks at higher levels. Costume design can get real cool as the designer starts making more and more elaborate outfits - not lame. Someone who has pictures of anime girls covering every square inch of their bedroom is just creepy - super lame.

Drawing an astrology chart is weirdly fun, like a logic grid puzzle. Just instead of figuring out it's Burt who owns the goldfish, you figure out that Lucy's gonna make bank because she's got Jupiter in her second house.

Just as long as, you know, you treat it with the same realism of a logic grid puzzle.

If I see one more sports news story that uses "BREAKING" in all caps it will be too soon. Literally the same energy when Japan bombed loving pearl harbor when Big City Team makes a trade for Important Player.

I get that you care and I respect that but Jesus lol

Equally as lame as nerds stuttering over Warhammer imo.

I'm not interested in sports at all, but I can see why people wouldn't be happy because the new jersey maker supposedly has a lot of quality issues. NHL already makes a lot of money so it seems like they're nickle and diming their fans to me.

Shoes.

I am not sure if this is lame or cool, but I dated a girl for a bit that had a huge collection of shoes. Imelda Marcos levels. It was her hobby to buy shoes, to the point of traveling to Italy and Europe once a year specifically to buy shoes.

Our second date I was driving so I showed up at her place. She's not quite ready to go, so I just chill in the living room. She comes in and asks if I want to see her shoes. I glance down and say they are nice. She says "all of my shoes". Errm okay. She shows me a walk-in closet that is floor to ceiling full of shoes. Most in boxes but several dozen on racks and such. I asked her, and she admitted it was well over 300 pairs of shoes.

She had everything; dress shoes, stilettos, flats, sneakers, hiking boots, etc. To say the least I was astounded. And she replied that she just liked buying shoes; to the point of spending thousands of $$$ a year just on the travel and hotels and the shoes themselves. She had one pair that she pointed out and mentioned they were $1000. To be honest, they were nice shoes.

I don't know if that is a hobby or obsession, but drat, that lady had probably $50000 worth of shoes in that closet.

It’s gambling. I feel like a smack addict is spending their time and money more wisely than a gambler. I mean, at least heroin gets you high. Gambling doesn’t do poo poo. Gamblers describe something like a high, but I can’t imagine it’s stronger than, you know, absolutely any psychoactive drug. I’m not saying you should use drugs, you almost certainly shouldn’t, but they’re at least guaranteed to work.

It's weird because the allure of gambling must surely be the possibility of winning big (unless people actually gamble because they subconsciously want to lose, which seems a bit suspect to me), but if you look around at the other people in a casino, no one is rich.

The casino industry has done a good job marketing itself as this slick James Bond kind of place whereas the reality, the red brick behind the neon, is really intensely sad.

If gambling is your hobby, it's like your hobby is losing money, which seems deeply pathetic, almost pathologic.

It’s totally pathological. They would not get the same buzz pressing a button on a machine that would give them $10,000 for free than they would if they put $.25 into a machine with a 1 in 50,000 chance of paying out $10,000.

They’re literally addicted to the gambling part, not the reward, it’s loving sickening.

Every time I see someone scratching off a stack I have to pretend it's a bored, financially stable person who finds the excitement worth it. Instead of someone really desperate or depressed or addicted. Hard.
