What about editing Windows registry? What does that rank? Hkey local machine?

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Isn't this one of those fake lists to rage bait people?

  • I've read books.
  • In multiple languages.
  • And I can read musical notes.
  • I'm a capable home cook.
  • I've built stuff. Assembling IKEA furniture counts, right?
  • My mum still keeps most of my paintings.
  • If you can read this, you know that I can write.
  • I can cut down vegetation.
  • I can even dive.
  • Yes, I open the camera app daily.
  • There's an app for that as well.
  • I'm wearing my backpack already.
  • Five of the seven continents (as many of us understand them culturally), so far.

Which is why I have an orgy every night.

Uh, there is a typo, the second probably should say "functional languages". We all know how people are attracted to map, filter, and reduce.

It was 17th on the list and didn’t make the cut. Was right below picking boogers and wiping them on the wall.

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I mean some of the activities on the list can be done in RuneScape. But I’ve yet to find out how wipe boogers on the wall ingame.

can some one explain this meme to me?

I can't find Saddam Huisen

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 19 points 2 days ago

Okay, this meme actually doesn't contain Saddam Hussein. I know it's a shock, you'd better sit down. Actually lie down. Lower. Lower. Keep going. There he is.

What do you mean Linux is not in the list?

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 106 points 3 days ago (6 children)

It's there right at number one, reading. Nobody reads more wikis or man pages than a Linux enjoyer.

"Top 15 hobbies that sound attractive to women"

[–] Razzazzika@lemm.ee 14 points 2 days ago

I beg to argue that being able to 3d model the figures and printing your own original creations is far more attractive than downloading a file aomeone else made and printing that.

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 181 points 3 days ago (37 children)

"traveling" yikes.

That is one way to say, you think wealth is attractive.

I have traveled quite a bit and I like it a lot, but it is no hobby. For it to be a hobby, I would have to have a lot more money.

Once or even twice a year, is hardly a hobby.

A lot of these hobbies are wealth-adjacent.

Playing an instrument: a good instrument isn't cheap, and music lessons can be pretty expensive.

Woodworking requires a lot of fairly expensive tools, and a space to do it. You can't really have woodworking as a hobby if you live in a small studio apartment. You basically need a house, either one with a basement, a shed or a garage.

Gardening: requires a garden, something you're unlikely to have unless you have your own house.

Photography: I don't know anybody who is into photography who hasn't sunk a lot of money into the hobby. There's the cameras, the lenses, and even the software these days.

Astronomy: see above.

Hiking: not expensive on its own, but in North America it means being able to drive to a wilderness spot outside the city, so you pretty much require your own car.

Archery and blacksmithing: again, requires a specialized space

Now, I know that there are cheap options for a lot of these. A musician could be someone drumming on an upside-down pail. Someone who only has access to a hotplate could still experiment with food. Woodworking could be just whittling sticks found in the park. Gardening could just be tending to a small houseplant. But, are these the version of the hobbies the women are picturing when they're imagining a potential mate doing the activity? Probably not.

Meanwhile, a lot of the stuff at the bottom of the list are very cheap hobbies. Like being influenced by the "Manosphere" just requires access to social media, same with porn and "arguing online".

Honestly, it looks to me like if you sorted the list by "dollars per hour someone invested in that hobby is likely to spend" you'd get many of the same things at the top and many of the same ones at the bottom. Some of the few exceptions are writing and reading, which can be pretty cheap hobbies, but are still apparently very attractive.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For astronomy (really astrophotography, which is considered even more expensive) I guess it depends on what you consider expensive. For $500 and with 3 free software products I'm able to produce stuff like this:

A rather large telescope (8" dobsonian reflector) I have as well was "only" $500. So it can be a hobby that you don't need to spend all that much on, but again that depends on what we consider expensive. $500 is definitely not cheap but I'm just a schmuck in a factory and I could save for that.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm sure you know other people spending thousands on their gear. Anyhow, many of these hobbies can be done relatively cheaply, but I imagine the woman picturing the man doing it as someone who wasn't going the ultra-cheap route.

Nice picture btw. How far do you have to travel to get somewhere where there's a low enough level of light pollution that you can take a picture like that?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 1 points 9 hours ago

Thanks! I'm lucky enough to live in a bortle 4 zone so that was taken right outside my house, it's just processed a bit to pull out the colors and darken the background.

Woodworking 94%. Right.

Try ordering a new lathe after you’re married.

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 117 points 3 days ago (3 children)

That’s because the deal has already been sealed. They typically wanna keep you off the market, not increase your “resale” value. Unless you’re into that kinda thing. Like, cucking or sharing kinda kinks, not human trafficking. Human trafficking isn’t sexy. Unless you’re into that kind of thing. Like, as a fantasy, not as a real thing. Real human trafficking isn’t sexy. Unless you’re into that kinda thing. Like, as in humans stuck in traffic or transforming into cars and being stuck in traffic, not as being sold as a commodity. Unless you’re into that kind of thing.

Ahh yes... my favorite hobby... foreign languages.

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Learning languages can definitely be a hobby?

Essentially just be a renaissance man. It's much easier to do when you're younger. I could've ticked off over half the list 10 years ago, but now it's just reading, cooking and writing. I don't have the time or energy for much outside of work these days.

My girlfriend loves the little trinkets and doodads I run off for her. I gave her a little tree that holds her jewelry and she got all moony and immediately asked for a couple more. She also loves watching the machine run, almost as much as I do. n=1 but some girls find 3d printing incredibly romantic.

[–] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I do photography, archery and 3d printing.

Photography seems to only invite critique, archery tends to be a short subkect of conversation but 3d printing usually leads to the most questions and takes up a larger part of the conversation.

When i played bass, no one really showed any interest other than one friends who caught me playing a small part of something i was figuring out how to follow it up and wanted to sample it. Which eventually led to nothing.

I designed a silencer for airsoft in fusion360 and already sold 10, a friend asked me to print a spitfire and i eventually summoned up the idea to make some spitfire exhausts he could mount on his spitfire themed mini cooper, my archery club has these plastic stars that tend to be used on the carnival for air guns so i designed some custom ones with their logo "just because". I also printed some trophy's which i still have to give out.

Once you get a reliable 3d printer and learn the software well enough, it is an amazing hobby.

The wife paints miniatures (think warhammer for example) and she needs plinths for her competition models. So i shit out a custom plinth within an hour including print time. It's so awesome and after 5 years i'm still amazed when i get to hold something that was nothing more than a digital design a mere hour before, i have a mini factory inside my house that only produces what i tell it to...it's absolutely insane.

Does growing cannabis count as gardening and what about painting figures?
