Ask Lemmy

Whenever I'm going abroad within Europe, for a bit over month before that, I start buying stuff only with banknotes. I put all of the coins made in Finland or (other) Baltic countries in a separate pocket and then make sure to use those during my travel.

It feels nice that people get to see coins that they don't see that often. And at the same time, I'm increasing the relative amount of non-Finnish coins in Finland, which I also think is good, as that helps people here notice that there's more to the EU than just Finland :)

I would guess it's unlikely that all that many other people do the same.

I don't know anyone else who likes horror films.

I'm addicted to buying crappy antique and vintage shotguns and restoring them. Have so many now I can hardly justify another. I know, I'm ruining the antique value by stripping the metal and wood, but they're ~$150 items, not exactly rare.

Look at this $119 ($160 by the time I get it home) piece of crap!

Never even heard of that brand, let alone the model. Bet I could make it dance and sing for a week's worth of evenings. It's a single-shot, can't be too fucked up. Probably.

I am the only person I know IRL who reccomends browsers to people in-person

My favorite thing in the whole world is dropping LSD, and listening to obscure music or watching weird shit...

Dude I can't find ANYONE to hang out with me... I wave that flag in every social situation I find myself in. I really thought there would be more people into it.

Well, that or I'm completely unbearable to hang out with. If that's the case I just wish people would tell me.

There’s a lot of Robotech/Macross stuff out there, but I rarely see anyone post online about it, and I’ve never met anyone in person who even knows what it is.

Death metal. I’m pretty clean cut and tat free so people are really taken aback when I tell them one of my favorite acts is called Cattle Decapitation.

One year on Spotify I was in the top I think 1% of lou reed listeners.

The design and building of authorization policy systems. And crypto (as in cryptography as the word originally meant) but that one tends to be slightly more common.

FoundryVTT, baby! Somewhere north of 70,000 downloads for a very feature rich virtual tabletop that you'd think more D&D / Computer Nerds would be into.

If you want to get even more bespoke, I'm the proud owner of a version 2 box of "Kingdom Death", a $400 boardgame designed in the spirit of Monster Hunter or Dark Souls. You play a primitive band of survivalists, hunting horrifying monsters for their body parts, in order to slowly claw your civilization's way out of a Lovecraftian dark age.

Guix, there are dozens of us! Dozens!

I tried to find an in-person calligraphy meetup around my area and mind you, I live in one of the bigger metro areas in the country. Couldn't find squat. Don't know if my Google Fu was weak or I just don't know what to actually look up but there's nothing specifically for calligraphy as far as I can tell. Also, I don't count online spaces.
