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!

      Oh man I did this and thought I caught the mother load. Me and my friends labored so hard to pull it up onto the end of the pier. It was so heavy. Ended up being a park bench lol

      Magnet fishing is basically litter collection, isn’t it? What is the best thing you’d hope to find?

        Apparently it’s pretty common to find guns. There was a video floating around a while ago of some guys that pulled up a gun and called the cops to report it and turn it in. The cops were mostly annoyed about the whole thing though.

          Just make sure to post about it on an Internet forum and then never show anyone what’s inside the damn thing

          I think the main worry is losing it to a place that is simply inaccessible. Better safe than sorry.
