>>529601 >what are your hobbies? I don't have any. hobbies are for fags. >do you like to learn? yes but only useful things. >once I feel I understand a subject sufficiently, I move on to other things and eventually lose the knowledge or skills that I've previously learned that's what happens when you learn useless retarded things that you're never going to need.

>>529608 Congrats on your undiagnosed learning disability

>>529608 Yes, good goy, only spend time on things that make me shekels. Maybe you can start HRT too, yes?

My latest hobby is electronics, which I got into totally by accident while fixing things. It was surprising how easy most faults are to diagnose, and uprated replacement parts cost $1 from China. The jew fears the hot air rework station.

>>529727 Electronics seems kino af. I never got past basic Arduino stuff. Do you feel it's useful knowledge even though everything is software these days?

Vidya, comics, TV, movies. Sometimes novels, but I like comics more because they involve massive shared universes that I can get even more lost in. Few novels have the same level of depth, though I have been getting very into Tolkien over the last few years. People would say that all I'm doing is consuming media and it's pointless, but my life sucks so I want to escape into fantasy. I'm not just mindlessly absorbing it, I'm gaining encyclopedic knowledge of these worlds. I know that knowledge is useless, but I may be very close to being the most knowledgeable Sonicfag in the world, and some day that will be useful for something. Some day some slightly more autistic incel will try to shoot up my workplace, and I'll be able to placate him by bonding over the story of Shadow the Hedgehog, and how he has to live and learn, and I'll be a hero.

>>529745 Very useful. I've rarely needed to touch microcontrollers though, since low power parts are robust, and hardly ever fail. Whereas MOSFETs, rectifiers, and filtering caps always blow first. Solid state electronics are in everything nowadays: Induction cookers, even lawn mowers. I replaced a MOSFET in a lawnmower which used a DC brushless motor. That was pretty interesting. Another example was an SSD. If there was a problem with the controller or memory chip you're 100% screwed, but often it will be a capacitor which has gone dead short, and that's something a normal person with aliexpress tools can work on. The only thing I don't like about this hobby is pajeets have spammed the absolute shit out of it on youtube. They build stupid, pointless, and wildly dangerous things, like when a pajeet made his own electric cooking element out of bare nichrome wire 10mm away from a metal pan. Fucking pajeets.

12,000 pajeets are taken out by accidental electrocution every single year. Over 3% of all accidental mortality. The ones who survive go on to post shitty videos on youtube.

>>529754 imagen the smell >>529753 That's so cool man. Keep it up. Maybe I'll give it another shot. I'm so basic I'm still at the "why did they know to put a resistor in front of the LED and how did they just know the resistance they need" phase. So uh... I'll be a second.

>>529857 You could try some EEVBlog (early videos) to see if you're actually interested in theory. Alternatively this guy does more practical/project oriented stuff, and explains the concepts along the way: https://www.youtube.com/@greatscottlab There's also bigclivedotcom who takes apart random dollar store tier shit, any creates circuit diagrams for everything. Surprisingly good for passive learning. In any case if you make an LED blink, you're already a wizard in the eyes of hapless normies.

>>529749 >I know that knowledge is useless, but I may be very close to being the most knowledgeable Sonicfag in the world, and some day that will be useful for something. ngl that was the saddest single sentence i've read in a while

>>529861 idk I think it's neat
