I’ve always loved flashlights. Yes FLASHLIGHTS with an A!!! Anyway, apparently not many people share my rather niche interest.

So I ask you, fellow Lemmites, what are your hobbies and weird obsessions that you can ramble on about for hours?

Please feel free to ramble on about your passions here. Maybe you’ll find some likeminded individuals!

    I think I have quite a few perfectly ordinary hobbies that share a couple common odd quirks/common themes.

    1. I like to make things for myself, and

    2, I quite like small, compact things.

    For example, I built my own computer, a Ryzen 3600/GeForce 1080 machine…in a very small case, a Fractal Node 202. I have a gaming PC the size of a VCR. Hell even my keyboard is surprisingly compact. I’m not one of those nuts with like a 64 key board or whatnot, i use a Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro M. It has a numpad, but lacks the arrow keys. They’ve been grafted fairly cleverly into the numpad to preserve the layout you’re used to. It’s a fully functional board with 13 fewer keys.

    My wood shop is a 10x12 shed on the corner of my property, into which I have crammed a table saw, jointer, planer, drill press, router table, miter saw, a laundry list of hand tools, measuring and layout tools, clamps, cans of finish, a rack for stock, and a decent workbench. It can be a little difficult to work inside the building, but unpacking into the hard just in front gives me a very functional workspace in which I’ve turned out a couple of birch bookshelves and a pair of oak and pine end tables, among other smaller projects.
