this was me buying $100 yoyos... then I got an associates in applied mathematics and I now can't stop talking about it.
moral of the story: every hobby leads to math autism
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night, not being able to sleep, and figuring out that Eurorack exists. 🥲
You think math and science aren't expensive fields?
I love Plastic Crack!
Knitting, with the really nice yarn.
TBF, I get a lot of time with my $50 of yarn while I knit with it. Dollar per hour, it's cheaper than going to the moves. And I get a neat object at the end.
edit: and knitting is just math in disguise
My favourite hobby is buying the tools and supplies for hobbies that I never really get in to...
Y'all need Jesus gardening.
Fpv is so expensive ;(
Yeah between the mini wargaming, computers and recent foray into combat robotics it's all adding up.
Your monotropic interests are valid even if it is model trains or Warhammer.
Sorry your version isn't exploitable. Mine is, and I'll tell you the grass isn't greener over here.
The math autism is really just the profound desire to start a rock band your garage autism, where the math becomes a coping mechanism.
Is it Lego?
Being good at science has led to having an expensive hobby... in my case anyway haha
