I am not in a cult.

This is not a cult.

By the way since you never asked, can I interest you in a new way to use your computer?

[–] funkyfarmington@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago (3 children)

How about Linux on a Thinkpad? DOUBLE CULT!

Warhammer - people at a local club have told me it is "heresy" to even refer to one page rules - a newish and very innovative wargame. That's the lifestyle players of course not everyone, the people who paint 20h a week while listening to Warhammer audio books play 8hs a week and do fuck all besides that. I have met loads of cool people in the hobby too, but omg those guys

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Y'all have some weird ideas about what a hobby is. Parenting as a hobby cracked me up, that's just having a family, you presumably grew up in one of those. Religion isn't a cult-like hobby, it's a hobby-ish cult.

On the parenting front though, I think those pageants are, those kids do it for a hobby and I would consider it abusive, and hard to exit once they are in.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

those kids do it for a hobby

The pageants are the parents' hobby. The kids are whisked into it at a vulnerable stage of development in which they don't have the agency to decide any of it for themselves.

Pff hater, Arch users are definitely not cultists who are obligatory to share their divine wisdom and forcibly announce that they are part of this cul... Hobby.

I use arch btw

Religion. All of them are cults. Every single fucking one.

Nothing. No other hobby even comes close to the death, genocide, rape, murder, and hate generated by that type of religious cult. It's every single year, too. Every single year religion tops its hate, greed, and pain inflicted on everyone.

I don't think anyone would call their religion a hobby, though.

Ok, but have you used Linux?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I can't stop using Linux.

My desktop computer? Linux.

My work laptop? Linux.

My phone? Linux.

My robot vacuum? Linux.

Linux. Linux. Linux.

Celsius energy drinks.

I had a coworker evangelize about them so I decided to try them out. Every time I got one and tried it some complete random would come up 'Hey! You like Celsius? Have you tried the [whatever] flavors? [Other flavor] is my favorite!'

I found them all gross.

There are two kinds of people who own a pressure canner - people who enjoy making preserves and fucking crazy people.

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

Sometimes a person is both.

The only reason I still have any normal friends is that my raspberry jam is freaking amazing. But I use that as an excuse to expound on the class war. It’s how they pay me back for the jam.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Did you know certain pressure canners can be used as makeshift autoclaves, allowing you to make your own home brewed sterile injectable medications?

At this point, trading card collecting and grading. Oh, a new series of trading cards for pokemon or yu-gi-oh or whatever dropped? Time for all the adults to buy out every single card in the store and then run home in hopes that their scam leaders like PSA will encourage their behavior by gracing them with a card they claim is worth money despite only being out for less than a week.

Card grading ain't nothing but a scam, cult, and great way to encourage the worst in people, while simultaneously gatekeeping trading cards from everyone with more than 2 braincells. Ain't nothing gonna change my mind about it.
