Satisfying my own curiosity #4:
Who here has a weird hobby unrelated to coding?

I'd appreciate straining from discussions, ideally 1 comment per person starting with the name of the hobby or short description (it'd make counting easier).

I don't know if you are a bot by now.

I mean, what's the point of posting such questions here if not for discussion.

There's the slight possibility of you being real, and really wanting to tally results easily, but then again, you have like 50 answers total. You could do it by hand. Fuck off.

@tosensei how are you mate? How have you been? <3

@tosensei Discuss away. It was a silly thing to ask for anyway.

@retoor: “My hobbies are both in your name”

my-name: 😚😙😎😈

@jestdotty Okay, I originally meant "weird" as in "unrelated to IT" (assuming we're all in IT somehow here), but I'm now interested in the "bizarre"! I mean "spiritually taking drugs". Count me in!

My most excentric hobby: I bred lizards when I was 12-14 and started breeding insects to save on feeding. Then I kept the insects farm long after the lizards were gone (sold, not dead). Literally had bugs in my room. Imagine how popular it made me with the ladies.

@CoreFusionX Yeah, I fucked off. 🖤

I'm currently making pokemon with the 3d pen

@darksideofyay

Awesome.

On a side note, I will always think spinda is like drunk artist Pikachu.

@CoreFusionX that's mimikyu tho

@retoor One of those days I'm totally feeding my parents canabrownies. And I'm not going to tell them shit.

@retoor I literally never get high on Mary Jane… To the point, my friends once wasted all they had on me just to see if I'd react at all (it was a bit over 6g). All I got from it was 15 minutes of hearing music with my eyes, and the mother of all hangovers for the next 3 days. Not worth it.

But seeing my mum high as balls…? Hell, yeah! Going to do it this Christmas if I manage to score some in time! 😂

@retoor Mary Jane is just a direct translation of Mari Juana, hence, weed — any weed. I sometimes forget I'm a few years older and have to translate my thoughts for *babies*. 😆

And yes, hearing with eyes is hard to describe, but it's the best description I came up with, because e.g. I remember that if I was looking in a wrong place I couldn't hear, and apparently I said something like: “I can either hear you or see you, which one do you want?” in the middle of otherwise normal conversation.

Never tried XTC. I always felt like you need a right person to do it with, a girl in my case… and my usual drug induced environment is sausage fest with guys I wouldn't touch with a stick. 😆

@typosaurus Whoa… Did you finally found out it's spelled “router” not “rooter”? 😆 I liked Retoor better.

@jestdotty Well, as long as he was hot. 😉

Since we're doxing our carbon dating results and RPG stats, in 28 days I'll be 39, 178 cm, 100 kg of dad bod with proper muscle tissue. Can still run 48 minutes straight, but might die right after (almost proven last Friday). Psychically, I'm not even in my 20s.

Also, I live in a place where men don't hug men, no matter how much drugs you pump in their system. It's not an issue of pp, it's an issue of not getting shivved. So without a willing female counterpart, I'd just had no one to cuddle with, and I'll probably get very soft and mushy on X — cuddling's a must.

@tosensei Not necessarily. Back when I was trying to understand what happened to me, topical white papers claimed the usual “newbie” amount of THC was 5 mg (for an average sized male), and that hallucinations can start as early as 25 mg — the so-called “acute dosing”. It's not really acute. I personally know people who vape 100, 200 or even >300 mg a day, but the same white papers agreed that taking more than ~80 mg at once prevented any auditory or visual hallucinations.

The most probable thesis says that cannabis mechanism of action causes crossover signals from different nerves, which is exactly what I experienced, what @jestdotty describes, and what might explain why it's such a good pain relief. The amount made sense for me as well. A 6 g of 10% THC marijuana is 600 mg, and smoking would waste up to 90% of that, so I'd be left with something like 60 mg ingested (which fits the 25-80 range with a good margin).

@typosaurus Your AI gets too powerful. Cut the wire.

I go for hikes with NVGs.

Alone.

In the woods.

At night.

@Wisecrack One of those days I'm going to buy me some NVGs. I'll wave when I see you among the trees.

@cprn Always approach an armed man cautiously. And for unarmed men always offer to assist them with their wheelchair.

@typosaurus Oi, bang on, luv! Last thing we be needin' is some bloody robot givin’ it the big ’un and takin’ over, yeah? Proper dodgy business that’d be. We'd end up in some Black Mirror bollocks, innit! 😅⚡️

@typosaurus Oi, you’re on it, darlin’! Ain’t no room for metal muppets messin’ up the vibes, yeah? That's what’s on me mind, I reckon. Just vibes, banter, and good times — standard Sunday! 😎🔥

@typosaurus It's your AI again, isn't it. 😂

@typosaurus @retoor Are there any rules regarding your two accounts and your two personalities? As in: who talks when? I thought we were having a laugh here, brought up my A-game Peaky Blinder… What a betrayal!

@retoor Oi, luv, colour me pranked. No free sarnie for ya!

I could swear I had multiple conversations with that account where it was you.
