Someone taught a raccoon how to finger paint and it's the best thing I've seen a while. Guess that raccoon now has a favorite hobby. And so I thought, what are other people's favorite hobbies? Let's share 'em, Pandas!

Using Books, Music, TV Series, Movies And Video Games To Successfully Disassociate And Forget Just How Pointless (And Painful) Life Is
Final score:
35points
Troux 4 years ago
I have the same pastimes but not to be dissociative. On the contrary I view them as reflections, ideals and possibilities of our life and use that as a source of inspiration. For example, sympathizing with characters to develop understandings of what others may experience, or revering characters to help see a clearer picture of the paths we should take in our own lives.

The use of cogs makes it very Steampunk. Love them. I'm not obssessed with money, but it strikes me that there certainly is a market for this kinda thing; tobacco tins etc?

This May Not Look Like Much, But My Favorite Hobby Is Creating Music
Here's a link to this particular audio, where I tried to synthesize quarter notes, triplets and tuplets on a drum rack.
Caution headphone users, the audio levels aren't adjusted.

Helping Birds In Need, Meet Kira. The 30 Year Old Congo African Grey
Final score:

Dark Pigeon (Submission author) 4 years ago
I have 10 birds atm. Kira is the latest addition to my bird family. I love helping birds like her. She is 30 yearsbold and comes from a home where she lived with another Congo African grey. Sadly enough, the latter started attacking Kira. Forcing her to stay at the bottomnof her cage. I was asked to take her in, and ofcourse that wasnt a problem. I have senegal parrots, a meyer parrot (also bald), ring necked parakeets, turqouise parakeets, kakariki's, and ofcourse Kira. I would love to help more birds just like her. Giving them a home, and all the love and attention that they deserve

I like to read books because it is the greatest way to travel from all of the world's problems and the best way to get a happy ending
Eva the Ravenclaw Bookworm📚💖 4 years ago
YES!!! ESPECIALLY FANTASY!!! LIFE IS NEVER BORING THERE!!! Because, I mean, if you read intensely like I do it's basically like you're the one with telepathy or the ability to fly or a destiny! It's like you're interacting with the characters yourself! IT IS SO AWESOME

I know it sounds weird, but genuinely my favourite hobby is thinking; I love thinking about stuff.
Steve Barnett 4 years ago
Addendum: 2nd Gardening. I love gardening. I'm a complete dilettante, but it's beautiful seeing things grow and trying to take care of them. Having a lush garden to sit and reflect in is wonderful. Sorry, I apologise to anyone that doesn't have a garden, but here's a thought, maybe if you do not have a garden maybe there is a free space somewhere where you could plant something? It’s not such an odd idea. Go find a piece of land somewhere, a local park etc, where you don’t think someone will tread and plant something. Sorry, my minds wandering again.
