Did 3 of them already in the past two years, and was considering signing up for Pickleball.
I don't see "an increasingly difficult to ignore urge to bomb an oil pipeline" on here.
That comes under running , grad school and Japan
Oh wait. You said ignore...I had already committed and planned my escape to Japan
S Tier response
I guess running. About 4 years ago, I started on the treadmill with an exhausting 30min/mi. Earlier this week I completed my first 7min/mi. Along the way, I added a 28min/5k@1.5% and am working on a 60min/10k (today did 62min/10k).
That's awesome! Well done, and keep up the hard work. Don't forget to stretch.
BDSM. I have integrated pretty quickly into the local community, and I'm a regular at munches and play parties.
Wait, BDSM is a group event?
I thought it was more like a partner tennis, not community soccer.
Think of it as more of a space where people can meet up and get freaky. 90 percent of the time is people standing around and chatting in fetish gear.
I'm turning into a bog witch
I've let like half my yard grow out and turn into a de facto butterfly garden. I've got a birdbath where I leave shineys for the crow. It's going pretty well, I recommend it.
I was gonna say, women have been getting sick of men and turning into bog witches for centuries now, probably longer. The more socially acceptable version was nunneries for a while, since men need to feel like they're in control of that some way or another. I'm the city apartment version where I'm becoming a night shift vampire /other undead into tarot cards and Gnosticism.
I'm going bog witch, but I'm a dude, so I guess druid?
I'm a dude. I'm still calling it bog witch. If anyone has a problem with a dude witch they can kiss my ass.
I feel like witch accurately incorporates the spiteful aspect of nature-loving that I'm going for. I'd like to weaponize my yard.
You're doing amazing.
Aw thanks 💜
Fucking math.
Yes give me sudden urge to self-study linear algebra for shits and giggles. Ima go look at math memes now.
I nearly failed math my entire life wdym it will suddenly become interesting for no reason.
Try self-teaching yourself programming If you like math, you'll greatly enjoy being able to apply it.
Hey... Wanna go down the geometry rabbithole?

It has points at infinity, area as a function of angle defect, a triangle whose angles sum to 0...
Which AI generated slop are you?
My midlife crisis: I bought a ten year old car and started fixing it myself.
I have bloody knuckles and bruised forearms and now a pretty bad oil leak but I replaced that goddamn turbo.
Stick with it, and soon you'll have a rolling chassis with destroyed interior, body full of rust holes, a crippling Miller lite addiction, and lots of friends with similar rusty old beaters that just need a little TLC.
I'm only 33, a bit young for midlife crisis, but I've gotten into ham radio. I think it's probably the most I've spent on a hobby. Even budget radios that can communicate over the horizon are pretty pricey.
Edit: The most I've spent on a hobby to get started on a hobby, that is. I've definitely sank much more money into video games and when I played it Magic the Gathering.
You're never too young to have a midlife crisis. Have two or three.
Ham radios are awesome though and that's less of a midlife crisis hobby, and more of a crisis hobby.
Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.
Le sigh. Grad school
Japan...
i just really freaking love public transportation infrastructure
i want to ride ALL THE TRAINS
Where is the drinking and BBQing one?
I started collecting Lego again.
... and running.
Japan? Does that just mean travel?
At avoidance of being real: no it means Japan.
We are all Japan on this day.
Konnichiwa bitches.
Well I'm forty now and about 6 months ago I decided that after nearly 30 years of listening to metal music I was going to finally learn how to do harsh vocals/metal screaming. Still an enormous amateur, and I have a lot to learn, but basically just this week I finally got to the point where I don't hate listening to my own screams.
So uh, whatever you wanna call that midlife crisis, that's mine.
Music 🎼🎵🎶
More specifically: playing the instruments: drum, piano/keyboard, clarinet, guitar, whatever else 🥁🎹🎸🎷🎺🎻🪗🪘🎛️
Bonus points for "getting back to", as in: something you got a start as a young fella but then life happens and you stopped doing it, and now that your bone aches when it is cold your mind went to old times when life felt brighter.
You forgot about bouldering / rock climbing
Just as I thought I weren’t a stereotype… oh well…
Does HRT count
This post is definitely missing gay and trans signs.
Did I speedrun a midlife crisis in my 20s? 🤔 Never did pickleball, but that's pretty synonymous with retirees over 60 in my corner of the world.
Okay I'll bite
What is pickle ball? Is it like Calvin ball? Also, whoever finishes reading this comment will forget they were ever gay.
What about the stereotype of buying a flashy car? Arguably that’s the one I fell into: spending far more on a car than I ever have to get something flashy and different, and purely thinking of me for what felt like the first time in my life.
Homeassistant/homelab, Nintendo Switch with the kids, getting back into playing bass, and Walking
I got the bonus 5th one: Linux
Been using that since my teens
