I’m now of the age where building a miniature railroad city seems interesting, but I don’t have anywhere near the space.
D&D. I’ve tried a few times, but I have no imagination so I can never really get into it.
Let me tell you, you dont need imagination. But a fun group is everything
I have LGB trains from my youth.
I always dreamed of setting up a garden railway. When I bought my house, I expected to do it.
We’ve been here 29 years. No railway. No time.
If I can ever retire…
Flying. AVGAS100 is fucking expensive.
I’ve got quite a few hours logged, tho
I used to be really into traditional archery. Throught my teens, Emphasis on the “really”, Pretty sure I spent more time on the range than i did at home. I trained myself to shoot accurately no matter which hand i used. I traveled to attend and perform at archery shows hosted by castles
But it’s difficult to find space to do it in a city.
Diving, partly because of money, but I’m also not sure about the medical requirements.
Also flying, same reasons but money is a bigger factor there.
When I was young I always wanted to skateboard. I was kind of scene adjacent being into punk and metal in the 90s/00s, but none of my close friends skated and the kids I knew that did seemed kind of gate keepy. I bought a decent board and a vhs (pre youtube) on how to do some tricks. I was even saving up and making plans to build some backyard ramps or half pipe since we didn’t have a skate park near by. Despite this I could never figure out an olly which seemed to be the entry level trick and since my friends didn’t skate I was only ever practicing on my own and never got direct feedback on what I was doing wrong. Now I’m in my 40s and even if wanted to pick it up, I’d break something for sure.
Coding. I just can’t stick with it and can’t find anything I’d like to make that interests me. any cod3 class I take I can follow chapter 1 and then I fall off a cliff. It feels like I’m wasting time if i try. I guess in my head I feel like I really want to know it, but when I’m doing it I’d rather be doing other things. Its more so I need to have the understanding because I don’t like using things I don’t fully understand. It just is such a time consuming thing.
Glassblowing
It’s too damn hot.
Fixing old cars, but I can’t justify the cost or the storage requirements.
If I could somehow just do this instead of work everyday, I’d be so happy. I love keeping old cars working. There is so much waste and the older cars had such style and artistry. New cars are too similar, too utilitarian/aerodynamic in design. Paint is too plain, muted, and lacks vibrant colors.
As someone with ADHD: All of them.
Relatable
I feel you. Same my mentally deranged sibling
I would love to geht into photography more and even develop my own films, but I don’t have the space and I also don’t have the money for a good camera.
Also sewing, same reason.
singing, my voice sucks.
That didn’t stop Lewis Armstrong.
And he was constantly high as well
Well I recently bought a cheap-mountain bike and got a hammock from my brother… It has rained for a week and a half.
3D printing. No dedicated space in my house for such a thing, plus there’s no way my kids would leave it alone or not constantly ask for more 3D dragons.
