    At this point, trading card collecting and grading. Oh, a new series of trading cards for pokemon or yu-gi-oh or whatever dropped? Time for all the adults to buy out every single card in the store and then run home in hopes that their scam leaders like PSA will encourage their behavior by gracing them with a card they claim is worth money despite only being out for less than a week.

    Card grading ain’t nothing but a scam, cult, and great way to encourage the worst in people, while simultaneously gatekeeping trading cards from everyone with more than 2 braincells. Ain’t nothing gonna change my mind about it.

    Competitive Super Smash Bros Melee, we won’t ever die. And Nintendo has been trying to rub us out since 2008.

    Cycling. They go from ‘this is fun’, to full blown road dictators, in about 2 weeks.

    Edit: just watch. The downvotes will likely display their cult rage.

      Please explain exactly what you mean by “full blown road dictators”, and clearly detail how it is different from “use the road in a completely legal manner in ways trying to keep yourself and others from getting run over by the many car drivers with a sense of entitlement to the road”.

      Seriously what is the deal with it? I remembered playing it in gym decades ago and everyone hated it. Now I see people lobbying for new freaking complexes for it. Let’s see if the fad lasts more than a year before dedicating public land space to it

    Gunpla, pop/labubu, liquid-cooing/overclocking, 3D printing, drones/RC

    There is a bit of a threshold between an innocent hobby and a cult, but once crossed, it’s… yeah…

      If you’re into liquid cooling cause it gives “better performance” then that’s cope and a cult, but if you just do it to make your PC look cool asf then there’s nothing wrong with that
