If you are an avid amateur photographer and have taken high quality picture of family members like (grand)parents, uncles etc., you might already have taken the picture that’s going to be on display during their funeral. A black and white portrait that I took of my dad was put up next to his urn. We selected that image without even giving it a second thought or having any discussion. It went like „That one.“ - „Yep, agreed. That one“. I had taken that picture using his old 35mm film camera he had given to me a few years prior and that had been on along our family holidays in the 80s and 90s. That fact made a bunch of people cry like babies when they found out about it. Everyone said that this was an absolutely beautiful touch and this image was perfect. It now hangs on the wall in my mom‘s kitchen.

Oh lego stuff is frelling insane. People buying up sets with no intention of building them for the sole purpose of selling the unopened box for thousands of dollars later.

[@leannafisher2448]

I felt this one. Especially with Lego titanic

[@migrivp2672]

Just like cards and collectable

[@daveyjones7391]

😡

[@damianburris4537]

Frelling? I love farscape!

Fighting games. Underground tournaments are fun as hell, but they are also ghetto as hell and can be fights over the pettiest things. Smash was easily the worst with the biggest crash outs when losing and there can be people who will cuss you out if you pick a low tier. But ive seen irl fights over street fighter and tekken

War reenacting has a bit of a dark side to it. What happens occasionally, especially with the guys that play the bad guys. Accidental growth into the beliefs of the side that they portray. This is usually because the groups don't address the historical context or punish the people that espouse those beliefs. I see it quite a bit within the civil war community as a Union reenactor. Those historical context conversations are important to have within the groups, even though many of us are experts in our own right on the subject.

People give me crap for 40k but Lego makes 40k look cheap

aquarium keeping: many breeders will refuse to sell both genders of some higher end fish species (Scarlet Badis and show grade guppies are particularly notorious for this) as it opens the chance for other people to start their own breeding projects

[@nancydowney3001]

Wow, that's really awful. Many, many years ago, I bred fancy guppies and sold them to the aquarium store. They always let me know when they had a fish they thought I would like because they could sell mine for a lot.

When quilting came up all I could think about was that one episode of Courage the Cowardly dog

I have two hobbies that I have had issues with. Fictional writing. The community is very cut throat and judgemental, and they rip apart characters and storylines. It is also similar with the online artist community... Source; I have joined online groups to help with my stories and learn to draw better, and have been torn apart. (Not fan fic, but it would fall into a similar category.)

[@lynnbrockel]

any thing too do with hobby lobby

I am a knitter here, I find it highly relaxing, along with sewing, and finger crotchet, I've never gotten how to crotchet with a hook😅

[@Quinn-Harrison]

I LOVE cold bedrooms! It's the perfect excuse to wear long pajamas and use a weighted blanket! Plus, adult onesies are crazy comfortable, especially the ones with a hoodie! Then your face is cold while the rest of your body is toasty! 😍

[@jpbonhomme5051]

Curio collecting...especially the vintage items

[@kariann430]

lego is omg a set i like is $120 and that is nuts, i remember when the sets were not that much and i was born in the 80's

[@headstanding_Penguin]

To be fair, in my country AC is rare in homes (thank good it is, we have insulation that works) and ice in drinks is bout 50/50, most local people actually ask for no ice in restaurants...

[@BrokenHedgehog]

Cycling.The little group of enthusiasts we have out here has lost access to several good spots due to a few assholes doing stuff like tearing up the ground to make their own obstacles, leaving trash lying around, etc

[@AtsumuHinata]

My dad does HAM radio and it's quite impressive. In a bad way.

[@kurotsuki7427]

Now im glad that i am getting lego mini figs to repaint them not to collect. Dont want to be dragged intonthat crazyness.

[@thestutteringspartan5155]

Drum Corps didn’t get NEARLY as much of a description as it warrants. Sexual assault/harassment, violent hazing, and an all around toxic culture ride rampant within some corps. I have too many horror stories from my single season marching drum corps.

[@kurotsuki7427]

If you dont want to keep your keys in your pockets or dont have pockets. Take a spare door key and put it on a necklace chain or lanyard and wear it to the bar.

5:40 I would make the blanket out of wool. I would make every blanket out of wool yarn unless the recipient was known to be allergic to it.

[@WetBread2ddvgd]

Fish keeping their is so much abuse of fish that you don’t even know

[@Alice_was-here_1999]

My ex roommate guilt tripped and manipulated me into using my income and food stamps for her and her kid. She knew I was poor. And she knew exactly how to pressure me into doing what she wanted. Living alone forever now

[@2PrincessWarriors]

Spelunking. Although no surprise element

[@CamilaBezerraMiragem]

Cosplay drama is crazy!!

[@donaldbothe3518]

14:59 i have a few salt and pepper shakers, though I don't have any bodies, may be haunted though, ah, the price of antique collecting

[@theisraelilocomotive70414]

As part of the model train community, rivet counters are annoying asshats half the time, yes, but the dark side is *really* among the idiots who want to get clout or money off of overpriced models or dangerous actions, ala broadway limited’s typical prices, brass models are more of a scam than people paying over a grand a model want to admit, or the kid deliberately crashing a full sized train for the video.

[@superNova5837]

Apple device collecting Yes that’s a thing Drives prices up on eBay for hard to come by devices (first gen iPhone) hard to find devices that aren’t bricked or just hard to get ahold since most devices end up not going onto eBay end up rotting in the owners home becuase they forgot or were recycled Prototype device collecting amplifies all of these problems even more due to how secretive the R&D process is with most either being bricked or damaged (based on the ones that do leak) This isn’t really a problem if you just want a few devices or they are “hand me down” and no one cares I still have my iPhone X and 6 (mostly from forgetting about their existence)

KZbin: he will click on anything at this point😂

[@DreamLionViolet]

Retro gaming is still rather pricy, depending on what it is you are looking to play

[@marypalmer1027]

Photography

[@jarfullofgravity]

1:13:40 why are you using the voice of a 95yo to read a sentence about “I’m 40 now”

[@czynicism]

First?

[@CrackersJacks]

I think so good job 👍🏿
