I fix all the tech at work because our IT department is dog trash and not fixing something when I know how feels like bees in my brain. Does that count as a hobby? :/

I also sometimes cook food in a more elaborate way than necessary which I’ve heard some people get paid for

Influencer (I shitpost non-stop)

Ice hockey goalie. I’m no good at it, but it’s so much fun.

Fixing bikes. But if I had to do it for a job, under time pressure, I’d hate it. Give me all afternoon to fix a bike and let me put on a 5 hour podcast about the collapse of the Aztec empire, that’s my happy place

Doing stuff with CSS

Photography.

I’ve been doing it for a long time and I’m still somewhat mediocre. It could theoretically make me money, but for me the excuse for not doing it boils down to “but it would require me to deal with people”, given that most sought-after and commercially viable things to shoot are weddings, graduations and so on. In the end I keep it as something I (mostly) enjoy and occasionally do as favours to friends and family. I mostly shoot live music in order to support the local scene; I also do extreme sports and a bit of wildlife & landscapes.

Sex

Maintaining and modifying cars and motorcycles.

I write screenplays for fun.

I’ve written a bunch of short films and one day maybe one will get produced.

I’m also kind working on a historical drama feature film.

I really enjoy the creative process and don’t truly care if I ever sell one it get one produced.

wrenching on my subaru :p during covid i pulled the engine. it was my first time ever pulling an engine out of a passenger car. i also pulled subframes and completely redid the suspension.

Language study 日本語

It’s why I get the anti work people. If I could change careers every few years I would. I love learning about new stuff. I post a lot but most of the time I do that is either when I have idle time at work, before or right after work (although sometimes it leaks into weekends). I hate the phrase jack of all trades master of none, it’s cool to know about a lot of things (as long as you recognize the limitations of your knowledge)

Gardening or more specifically raising fruit trees. Right now I got about 50 citrus trees growing from trifoliate orange seeds. Once they’re ready I am going to graft lemons and satsumas onto them. I’m not planning to sell the trees, rather I’ll gift them to friends and family.

I also propagate houseplants and gift them to friends, family and colleagues. Since they’re so easy to propagate it’s almost no effort.

I write software for fun and give it away. I also write software for money and don’t give it away.

I brew alcohol and grow mushrooms(gourmet and non-gourmet)
