Common hobbies you think are kinda weird

Hunting. Not hunting in general, but when taken to extremes like gun nuts like to do.

No, I don't need to see your social media pics of yourself smiling with glee as holding up dead animal carcasses, as if you are posing with a trophy of some sort. Bonus crazy points for the nut jobs that pay money to have the dead animal carcasses of animals they shot hung up on the walls of their homes.

I say all that as someone who has zero issues with guns or people hunting for utility/simply getting out of the house based purposes.

Anyone that eats meat and says ANYTHING about hunting is a hypocrite. When working for your food requires skill, patience, experience, knowledge, and enduring the weather and nature you get a different take. I can understand that you don't stuff and mount the styrofoam from your Walmart steak, but some people are proud of a good kill and the work that went into it and want to showcase it.

People over the age of 18 playing video games for 6 hours a day every single day

I don’t understand the appeal. I lived with cousins who played, and I remember one time my cousin played video games for 3 hours straight, then said he didn’t have time to do the dishes because he had to get to class. It’s a time waster, and you’ve gained nothing by spending that time playing.

It would make more sense to design a video game for others to play, and make money from it.

If you’re under 18, this doesn’t apply, but if you’re an adult, then I think there are more constructive ways to spend your time.

GOLF.

I don’t mind golf at all but it’s absolutely fascinating what a pass it gets in society.

It’s an inherently silly/trifling game that we’ve built these massive social/business/affluence structures around, and we don’t think anything of men who spend 4+ hours EVERY weekend and tons of money playing holeball, let alone spending hundreds of thousands of dollars more to live somewhere they can play whenever they want, choosing vacations around good places to play etc etc etc

I think hunting is supposed to be a way to get in touch with nature, and there's also the thrill of firing a gun.

Common hobby I find weird = people who take pictures of their food before eating it.

That's like saying I couldn't have a less than purely positive opinion of it when someone constantly takes food pictures to spam all over social media because I am not a professional chef.

Nah, bad comparison. The hunter in this case is the professional chef who is taking a picture of their amazing food creation that they designed and built. You, in this scenario, are the person who was served a masterpiece and took pictures and posted it online as if you did something other than point to an item on a menu and pull out a credit card.

I give tons of respect to someone who has devoted time, money, and effort into learning a skill and prospering with it. Posers and hypocrites can get to the back of the line.

Weird hobby: People that have sex dolls that they take out in public as if they are a person.

Riding motorcycles on the street, dont get me wrong I've been riding motorcycles/dirtbikes my whole life. But there is literally no point of driving around aimlessly on your motorcycle with your buddies, unless your racing on a track and theres actually some progression its just a giant waste of time.

Watching sports religiously. I get going to games, watching a few quarters here and there, etc. but to be so obsessed over 20 year old men, knowing every stat about their careers, getting legit upset when they lose, saying 'we lost" "we won", is the ultimate cringe for me. YOU didn't win chit unless you are on the team...the only thing you won was losing 4 hours of your pathetic life over a fake game.

Brutal.

Im a pretty avid cyclist so following some pro-league bike race might make some sense.... And even so, I dont really follow it at all....

To watch NFL constantly all winter having not touched a ball since you were 14 makes no sense.

True but those are all tangential to the actual golf, and none of these things is special about golf.

You could get all that fishing, hunting, hiking, rock climbing, playing touch football, digging up tree stumps etc.

I just think it’s fascinating that golf gets a societal pass. Spending every weekend hitting a ball into a tiny hole at the other end of someone’s lawn doesn’t get a single raised eyebrow but it’s basically the same thing as (for example) being a grown adult obsessed with Air Hockey or Skee Ball.

My grandfather walked 9 holes of golf every weekday after he retired (midday weekday discount LOL) and did it until he was in his 80s.... When his legs started giving out he used a cart (mid-late 80s) then he died in his 90s....

He kept graph paper with all his scores over the year and would calculate his annual avaerages, improvements, etc.

I mean thats a lot better way to finish your time on earth than the average oldcel.

You think playing air hockey in an arcade is similar to golf?

I guess this could count as a fukking hobby now: taking selfies

Girls that constantly post themselves on the internet
Even worse when guys do it.

Even worse is those simpleton cucks creating this culture.

Society in general is super cringe, it's like a bunch of insecure tools begging for attention/clout.

Went maybe twice in the year that I worked there. Just never saw the appeal of spending 2 - 3 hours at some lame dive bar on their Thirsty Thursdays karaoke night or whatever. Watching people intentionally make assses of themselves by getting drunk and poorly singing overplayed songs has a very limited degree of entertainment value for me.

Fantasy Sports. Stock market investing on players on teams in some way to try to make a duller activity more interesting to the point where you have to spend more time following teams that may be opposition to your favorite team. Actually, having a favorite team confuses me too. But having one and then hoping that the opposing wide receiver gets his yards in to help your fantasy team is a bigger leap to me.

So weird imo.
The counter argument here is you likely watch movies where people go around shooting and blowing things up but I'm willing to guess most of you never do any of that stuff either.

And we all know misc doesn't have sex or any kind of female relationship so watching movies and shows with content around those themes seems weird too since none of you experience it yourselves.

This. Especially since every last mofo I know who plays it literally sucks complete ass and never get any better. Most just need an acceptable excuse to get away from the wife/kids though

Sure, I get what you're saying. However, I don't think he was saying that watching sports on a casual basis is weird. Just that obsessive sports fanatiscism is weird.

Watching sports in and of itself isn't that weird. But being the type of sports fan who is rabid about it is another matter. Rabid sports fanhood is arguably a lot weirder than being a casual WWE fan, action movie fan, or whatever.
