    Leemy.world choses what you get to see on other instances.

    Tobacco pipe making. Buy a predrilled briar block for ~$35. A Dremel with a few bits to quickly get it to shape… Hand sand for 10+ hours. Oil and wax it. I very rarely smoke a pipe, usually only when around others that smoke a pipe. Think I’m on my 9th pipe. I have given most of them away but have a few I’ve kept for myself. Every once in awhile just pick them up to appreciate how nice the wood turned out.

    In my case it’s mostly digging into a specific rabbit hole of knowledge, be it video essays about the geography, or looking up a series of historical events.

    Programming, replay old pc games from the '90s, check out new music, explore business ideas, crafts, reformat a laptop and put a different OS on it, pick a Zelda game and start a replay, do paint touch-ups on the walls. Hpping to add gardening to this list this summer; getting rid of the blackberries is still ongoing.

    I’ve been learning 3D modeling in blender for about 2 months. Lately decided to also start drawing to be able to make some reference sketches.

    Programming, solving complex problems (or attempting to) is like a punching bag for my brain when I just need to destress

    Lately I’ve been playing Space Engineers. Holy shit can that game eat up the time.

    The other day I spent ten hours drilling rock to collect enough minerals for my rover. Then I flipped the rover.
