Really like most of the hobbies from comments, you guys are interesting!

Mine are (I'm not sure if they are niche but):

Fountain pens. Writing with them feels very nice and smooth and it's a little piece of "retro" even though I don't have time for any other kind of "retro"

Lucid dreaming. It's an exercise of control over your dreams and a chance of doing something you like when you sleep. Or experience something new. There are forums with quests like "go to an art gallery in a dream and explore what your brain can give you as a painting" or "build yourself a dream homebase with all your favorite pieces of dreams from childhood" or "jump into a chalk painting and describe your experience"

Not a very small thing maybe, but: All people gain ability to instantly recognise bullshit (at work, in media, interpersonal relationships, etc)

My cat always tries to steal toothpaste from my mouth because it's minty

Yep, went the same route myself. I'm looking at you, Critical Role campaign 1 👀

But for others I always recommend start with the 3rd now.

And no poop challenge

I'm enjoying it! Smaller community feels cozy, I even started commenting (was a lurker on Reddit). Although there's always a room for improvement. I occasionally lose comments because of some bugs or server issues, sometimes opening things just leads to refreshing of the main page and you lose the post and so on

Sadly, there's the third option: abandon both. Speaking from experience, I went through this some time ago with another social network and couldn't be bothered with factors 1 and 2, but then the 3rd factor came in, and also I didn't like what the new place was becoming. But the old one has already changed to corporate greed and it feels different. So now both places feel alien to me, so I chose neither. I'm not saying it will be the same for Lemmy, just ranting :D

Goth nightclub!

I agree, fuck scribd. I usually google "scribd free online downloader", there's a site (or maybe several sites, idc, I just use the first one) which allows you to somehow avoid the stupid paywall and registration

Is it real? Because I'm sure I've seen it in one of the early seasons of Black Mirror xD Not surprised though

Yesterday I had to finish my work at 6 to attend a 3 hours language class at 7 and I was dissociating so hard that when I left I had to come back to work to grab something I forgot, then I freaked out thinking I lost a key to my office (they were in the other pocket). Then halfway to the language school I realized that I lost my coat somewhere along the way. Then I managed to get lost somehow on my way to the language school. After the class I got lost twice when I was exiting the fckin building! I was like "get yourself together FFS!" lol Feel so stupid even now while I'm writing this.

Shurf116 was 15. Shurf116 took character name from favorite book and added random number which Shurf116 liked. Shurf116 still has that name because why not. And because name always free.

I don't. I kinda trust people in my family to not open my journals but I also keep my journals with me most of the time and I write in another language so bigger part of my family can't read them. Also if there's something I'm scared of writing even in another language I write it in my script I made for this when I was a kid. Yeah, sometimes I'm kinda paranoid lol

Obsidian! Can't recomment it enough! It's simple, has everything I need and a shitton of plugins (dice roller, statblocks, Initiative tracker, fantasy calendar, a tool for working with maps with pins and everything, ability to embed all sorts of generators from generators websites, wiki styled notes and more!)

Mostly it's different subgenres of rock and metal (like 70% of all comments here. Seriously, I've never met so many ppl that listen to my favorite music in one place xD).

I kinda have a few moods. For the "fun and energetic" mood I have hard rock and heavy metal, for the "my job is f*cking me and I don't like it" I have nu metal and some other things that sound angry, for the "fancy" I have a strange mix of P!atD, Franz Ferdinand, some songs that are creepy/sad but sound happy ("I can't decide", "Don't fear the Reaper", "To The Sea") and steampunk/dark cabaret/murder song bands (Voltaire, Coppelius, the Cog is Dead, American Murder Song)

Storyteller (Mage the Ascension / Vampire the Masquerade both use this system) Or City of Mist

I've tried several apps for Reddit on android over the past few years and this is what I'm currently finding uncomfortable using Jerboa for Lemmy:

• the numbers on the top right corner of the posts are confusing. Like right now they are saying "24 13". Based on the upvote behavior I think 24 is rating. I'm guessing 13 shows how old is the post but it looks counterintuitive without a measurement unit. Is it 13 mins or 13 hours or 13 months or what?
• is there a way to collapse comment threads?
• on some of my previous apps for Reddit there was a way to hide read posts. I don't really want to scroll past everything I've already seen every time I open the app.

That said, I really like Lemmy and hope it'll get the fanbase it deserves.

Making my sick with cancer granddad lift up and throw away a rather big piece of furniture that he was intending to give away to someone the next day and left outside our apartment in some empty spot (not in anyone's way) because she didn't like it in her field of view, threatening to complain about fire safety (it was in the far corner from the exit!)

Yeah, power tripping teachers are infuriating. I still remember the teacher who insisted I have to keep my paper at 45 degrees counterclockwise while writing which is technically correct but for right-handed people, and I'm a leftie. So now my handwriting is a freaking mess :D
