Mostly vintage electronics, (PC, cassette decks, VCRs, a laser disc player one time), cassette/Video tapes, I have about 1,000 NOS vacuum tubes I need to go through. I also like to sell car parts, but I don't go out of my way to look for them. I kind of just like fixing that kind of stuff as a hobby, but don't really want to be a hoarder. I also find other oddball stuff once in awhile like really rare books or collectibles like vintage toys. It's all usually stuff that is hard to find so the people buying it are really happy to find it.

This is why I turned to hardcore drugs. Much cheaper.

...Factorio counts as a drug, right?

Schedule 1. No inherent benefit whatsoever. Just time dilation.

Hey man, you got any of them combinators? I got a serious jones for some arithmetic combinators.

"All you need is a pair of running shoes!" And another. And another. And another. Ad infinitum $$$

"I got into barefoot running but mainly for the savings"

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Take up running they said. It's free!*

[–] jboy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Sweat-wicking shirts! Compression socks! Non-bouncing shades! UV-proof hats! Neck buffs! Trail shoes! Gaiters! Racing shoes, carbon-plated! Recovery flipflops! Base layers! Jackets, rain and windproof! Reflective gear! A smartwatch! Training plans! Runners' memoirs! Club membership! Race signup fees! Gels! Electrolyte mix! Protein bars!

And have you tried spirulina, it does wonders for recovery (so they say)

But how expensive is obesity?

Those shoes are damn worth it!

I mean, what else to spend spare money on besides the things I enjoy. Like other people spend thousands travel. I spend the same amount on a box of Warhammer. Jk. I can't afford Warhammer.

No! You're supposed to be miserable for your entire youth by saving and investing every penny you don't need to survive! That way you can afford all the medical bills and therapy you'll need when you're old and retired and have had a life devoid of joy!!

Sigma grindset!!!!

You have convinced me to buy a kayak. 👍

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 3 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Fuck yeah, what kind are you getting?

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not sure yet, I've been researching what to buy since then and I found this guide. It sounds like a sit-on-top with a flat hull is good for beginners, and I have a preference towards nothing inflatable also.

If you have any recommendations though, let me know! I also need to get a roof mount for my car.

Never get into actual warhammer, only videogames.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 16 hours ago

Or go for the cheaper alternatives. Or just buy a 3D printer, so you can have beautiful, unpainted armies that'll never see any action, just like 70% of all GW models!

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Mine is gardening. Cheap to start, gives you exercise, and ultimately pays you in food.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Except if you plant flowers. Bulbs taste awful.

Am I the only person with financial self control?? (I hate joy)

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 1 points 15 hours ago

Fellow people who grew up poor?

[–] Screamium@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's usually a point in hobbies where you can find a great price/enjoyment point. Until you want to go deeper down the rabbit hole

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Why go deeper when you can quit a hobby every 3 months. th-3134988934

Be sure to see if your local library or community center has hobby stuff to check out or cheap classes! YMMV depending on how well funded they are, but it’s becoming really common to have a 3D printer, specialty baking pans, tools, etc.

Turns out PC's are a cheap hobby.

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Many hobbies are cheap if you choose wisely out of your possible interests; and then go with cheap, good enough options rather than getting swept up in online echo chambers (where nothing less than top tier is acceptable).
