Working. 

 

Taxes? Also, some jobs require you to get a certification/license.

Working. 

Working is not fun. Especially at a pharmacy. Most of my job is analyzing the doctor's scribbles.

Isn't a hobby

 

If you don't put any effort (or money) into it

I guess that's true. I spend most of my money buying yugioh cards.

Programming. Writing. Running (which seems simple, but actually involves complex technique if you know how to teach yourself). Drawing. Learning grammar. Learning history. etc.

Write down short stories about you and your loli wife, and loli daughter. Proceed to cry about how the real world sucks. Repeat

Juggling. Grab three oranges and then you are away.

 

Look for the right sized stick and you could practice staff spinning.

 

Not many great videos of freestyle staff around but this kid has some style about him. He doesn't know many tricks yet but if he keeps it up he will be decent at it. Also, the title says Super Fast! That isn't actually fast at all.

 

I have found contact staff to be quite difficult without the right type of staff

 

Get two tennis balls and and some shoe laces and you can makeshift a set of poi.

 

(skip to 0:45)

 

Juggling is one thing, but if you get a fire staff or fire poi (okay that will cost money but not necessary when learning) to a party, you will definitely pull a crowd. People love the Fire. I even got work outside a local night club for an hour as all the drunk people leave. €50 and a few pints on a Friday night ain't bad for a hobby

Wow!

 

You all need to get out more. At least @W-L's hobby involves going outside... I hope.

 

The only other legitimate hobbies apart from the one I gave were doing maths and writing short stories. Not my cup of tea as hobbies but at least its something. I was more of a run around outside kid I guess.

We might be able to suggest several hobbies, but unless you are passionate about any of them they won't really be hobbies for you.  And people who have passionate hobbies do not care about the costs or effort needed for them.

Relax dude. I am taking the piss out of the fact that there were that many top posts and no legitimate hobbies. That's all. You just happened to be in there.

 

@Real_PhillBert got it.
