There are two kinds of people who own a pressure canner - people who enjoy making preserves and fucking crazy people.
Any sort of hypebeast scam. Labubu, pop up clothing companies with no real design or quality, beanie babies, most crypto, specific vinyl collections. It’s only worth something if you know some deep dark lore about it which requires effort to research and understand, then you’re hooked. It’s post capitalism cult energy.

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.
People who play Call of Chuthulu every single day
Competitive Super Smash Bros Melee, we won’t ever die. And Nintendo has been trying to rub us out since 2008.

I feel like it would be easier to list the hobbies that aren’t based on the answers so far.
Feel free to post this question.

Adults going to DisneyWorld as if it was a sacred shrine
never understood the appeal either lol
Going to Disneyland, buying that doll, having that retro console, collecting all the items in the set, buying that vintage car, getting a fat hog to crank it up with…
Its melancholic nostalgia, having the things we could never have when we were young.
I worked at Disneyland for 8 years. I still go there every year. It’s been over 10 years and I’m still running into people I used to work with and can shoot the shit with them for an hour.
For me, there is something about that place that I took ownership of, cared for people there, and tried to make it better in the small way I could. I see all the effort that so many people have and continue to put in and really appreciate the artistry and care these people have.
It’s a place that I feel comfortable in, and I like to just sit, listen to the music and the sounds of the crowds and people watch.
Adults who play board gamesp
The cult of scheduling conflicts and never having time to meet up :(
Wrong. They actually have to invite me to be considered a cult. 😩
Board games are chill idk what you’re talking about
I think the cult has found me
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.
I hate cyclists, and I’m dutch. Cycle to work or the store? Fine by me, I do it all the time myself. Being a cyclist however? I’ll hate your guts.
Tho I’m pretty sure it’s not that uncommon of an opinion here, most of the time people either hate cyclists, or are one themselves.
Heh I remember several years ago, I bought a cool vintage 10-speed bike which was lovingly restored by a local bike co-op, it wasn’t ever a top of the line pro racing bike or anything, just a nice old street bike for casual riding. The co-op did a great job making it like new, but with subtle finishing accents.
I posted some pics of it on r/bicycling on Reddit to get their feedback, advice. SUCH SNOBBERY! My god, you’d think I took a shit in the middle of the lobby floor of The Ritz-Carlton. They made me feel wholly unwelcome and unwanted.
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”.
As a cyclist, I’d have to guess “riding two abreast when there’s a car behind you.”
Well you see, cars go faster and are stronger, so by being in the road you are a road dictator.
I honestly don’t understand what you’re trying to say, but then again I’m stoned out of my gourd.
Could you rephrase it so an idiot would understand?
I think that’s sarcasm
