    I am like on the very edge of buying stuff to try to learn to shoot and develop film. I’m not a good photographer, it is going to be so expensive, but for some reason it’s a skill I keep wanting to learn for like years

    Low-recurring cost hobbies are neat even if you need several hundred or thousand bucks worth of gear to get into them—mountain biking (or maybe cross-country skiing?)!

    They said growing weed is cheap… It is fun though.
    Beyond equipment, good genetics can cost a pretty penny or two.

      Genetics may be expensive but rooting hormone powder is cheap! Also don’t buy fancy grow lights. Shop lights are way cheaper and work just fine!

    3D printing fits the bill, just get a hobby level printer that requires tinkering. I’m still rocking dual Ender 3s from 5 years ago.

    Never in history have we had this much free knowledge into new interests and skills so easily accessible for us. There are a huge number of options that are really cheap.

      When people go to Netflix, they open the app, and scroll for 45 minutes trying to find the perfect movie or show.

      Then they pass out on their couch in their underwear as their cat licks their ear to wake them up. Even the cat is like “c’mon dude. It’s bedtime”

      And then you wake up the next day, and suddenly you got 40 missed notifications because your dad had a seizure last night, and is in the hospital. You would have heard the phone ring, but you were asleep. If you had been engaged, and watching the 1993 movie Super Mario Bros, you’d have heard your phone. But you got overwhelmed by choice, and fell asleep instead.

      Now your dad thinks he’s Rodger Ebert, so he has started dressing in balerina tutu’s. You try to explain to him that Rodger Ebert never wore tutus. And he says “YES I DO!” as he starts doing dance moves from the 1950s.

      All this because you couldn’t decide what to watch in your hubris of options!
