Me: I need a purpose

Brain: Did you say a purchase?

Does adminning a niche social media also count?

[-] ares35@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

definitely 'ticks' all the boxes.

You mean to say our purpose is to experience life to its fullest always experimenting, trying and learning new things rather then dedicated everything into steadily producing economic input?

I already don't have any time

And for some reason my stupid self though that getting into self hosting, historical fencing, HAM radio and free diving at the same time was somehow a realistic goal

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Me, suddenly having an urge to learn Shogi one day

So...something like 3d printing...

[-] Beardsley@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

You leave my board games out of this

[-] wahming@monyet.cc 5 points 2 years ago

It's not niche! There are dozens of us!

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Well...if you put it that way, there's not much point about anything at all, is there? The universe is one big suburban cul-de-sac where everything is lame, as I sit moping and pouting with arms crossed, Amazon is "out for delivery" but hasn't arrived yet.

Fortunately, there are healthier ways of looking at existence, courtesy of philosophies such as Buddhism and Stoicism, to namecheck two currently popular views on the matter.

I'm in this comic and I'm not sure if I like it.

Gem faceting... I have boxes full of stones and equipment, have watched countless videos, built my own (very shitty machine) but never pulled the trigger on an actual faceting machine...

Also astrophotography...

Ffs I have caviar taste in hobbies and at best a cheap steak income...

[-] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 5 points 2 years ago

That's me watching rock tumbling videos. I know that if I do it I'll probably only Do a couple of tumbles and it will sit there in my shed with my space art spray paint stuff and my pile of wood I got to build an axe throwing target.

Not completing hobbies is my hobby.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

glances over my shoulder at an enormous pile of identical boxes

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Cool! Now I still feel like I'm lacking purpose, but I'm spending extra money!

[-] Reverendender@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Oh god, they're on to me

[-] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

That's a...Vicarious...Tool...

Warhammer people.

No, it's Magic the Gathering. Chess is a pretty cheap hobby.

[-] Kanda@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah mtg really burns your walletif you're trying to keep up with any sort of competitive scene. But you'd be surprised how much money Chess-obsessed people can spend

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

Shiny toy distracc
