The core of my hobbies is learning how something is made or done. I learned to bake bread and sourdough by making tons of loaves. I learned to make my own beer. 3d printing is my peek into manufacturing industrially even though its a mere taste. I do meal prep to understand packaging and distribution.

I wouldn't say it's fun, most of the time, but it is incredibly satisfying and fulfilling.

How? Why? What? Never stop asking.

I recently got back into collecting physical comics as a hobby. It’s fun going to comic shops and/or used bookstores and flipping through all the back issues to try and find certain runs. I also enjoy experiencing new / current issues when they come out. I’ve been delving into the indies recently, and it’s opened up a whole new world for me.

Other than that, I’ve been trying to get into woodworking. Just need a few more tools before I can really start. I seem to have a habit of being drawn to the more expensive hobbies…

Gaming - everyone here has pretty much said what could be said about this one. I always liked doing things, so i find it more fun than movies

MMA - I like to punch and grab. that's it. it's just kinda fun for the sake of it. I recommend it if anyone is looking for a cool hobby to get active with

blender grease pencil - if they made a sequel to drawing it would be the grease pencil in blender. it can completely blur the lines between 2d, 3d, and polygonal models. I ain't good at it yet, but i like to think one day I'll use it to animate something pretty neato

Springboard diving. Very fun. Tiring. It’s rewarding to be able to experience improvement with practice and effort.

I collect antique postcards from roughly before 1950, with a specific focus on cards depicting airships, zeppelins, and related topics. It’s fun and I get pretty serious about organizing and cataloging them and storing them in a safe archival fashion (at least as well as I can at-home). I also have a few smaller topic areas that I collect cards from.

Cycling. Specifically mountain biking. Good rush of adrenaline.
