Mine would be creating pen and paper ciphers for my made up secret communication needs.

    I’ve never let it stop me, but:

    • ethical philosophy

    • social dance, especially contra and square

    • chromosomal / genetic inheritance simulations

    I try to make something that looks good (or at least doesn’t look like random static) by running pictures I’ve taken through audio editing software. There are some extra steps that go into it to “trick” the program into importing the picture as if it were a sound file, making sure the header (information that tells your computer that this is a picture) doesn’t get fucked with, and then exporting the data in a way that it will be saved as a picture and not an mp3 or something else.

    On the rare occasion I do bring it up, I can literally watch people’s eyes glaze over. Until I show them a picture

    Edit: internet is really bad right now, will reply with an image when I can

    Edit2: picture was too big at 7MB. Hopefully a screenshot of the picture doesn’t look too bad

    Model trains. I don’t bring it up because it’s obscure, but I’ve definitely found there’s a stigma. “Oh he’s the guy who plays with trains”. Screw the haters, I like to relax after work and do a bit of escapism. Eventually I got over it though and talk about it with friends, but it’s not the first thing I bring up either
