Birdwatching. You can buy a book and binoculars if you like. The app Merlin is somewhat free to ID Birdwatching calls. Birdseed can get expensive or just plant sunflowers.

Wildflower identification. Best in early spring, Phone apps make this a little too easy. Seed collecting and propagation is my next goal. I also pull up invasive plants, mostly garlic mustard.

Gardening. Seeds are cheap but if want to start indoors you’ll need a light and possibly a heat mat. Start outdoors in a makeshift “greenhouse” using a clear plastic jug. Starter plants are cheap

Choking the chicken? It’s two hobbies in one

Hooked on phonics?

I just wouldn’t want to be someone’s pet

A live in girlfriend with a good job so I could stay home, grow weed and play video games. God i was stupid

I would i would find another job and forget to give Jenny my two weeks notice

Election time already?

Balls have stretch marks? I’ve been focused on it being the last patch of hair to turn grey

Keep moving

Prisoners

My understanding is that the types that are ozone generators don’t remove particles from the air, they charge the particles so that they stick to surfaces and aren’t floating in the air

They’ll shit in your jack-o-lantern

Right out of school I got a job working in a shitty retail store where we would prank each other. For some reason there was a smoke detector still in the box that had a dying battery and chipped every few minutes. I would hide it in other worker’s aisles in the morning when we would straighten before opening. Fun times

Correct answer right there. Politicians and business people are very aware of their body language. Another rule is never touch your face. When they do, photographers will snap a picture. In the photo they will look frustrated

Lot of people searching “clutch” right now

IMO a big factor is that the production quality of music (as well as movies and TV) hit a point where it no longer sounds or looks as dated. Digital remastering cleans up any flaws, now the only tip off to the age is content.

Yeah I’m hip to the schmaltzy tunes of the 70’s, I’m a big fan. Looking at you BJ Thomas.

I’m sure there is good rock going on now, it’s just not making it into the mainstream. I’m a product of 80’s punk rock. It never got mainstream attention but it did spawn acts that did in the 90’s.

They have it backwards. Young people think old people had it easy. This is their justification for not trying. Truth is every generation has it’s challenges. Rather than turn to social media for validation, look for information. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for everyone but if you’re facing a challenge, someone before you faced the same. Don’t listen to those who tell you not to try. Listen to folks who succeeded, what worked, what didn’t.

PS The only derogatory I can say about the young generation as a whole is, where the fuck is your rock and roll? You’re listening to your grandparent’s music. Lame.

Maybe it’s because everyone has a clock in their pocket? One that is accurate and doesn’t need batteries changed or altered twice a year

Phone phreaking, the 80’s were so fun. Stolen AT&T calling card numbers enabled you to call long distance for free at a time when calling the next city over could cost 30 cents a minute or more (equivalent to over a buck now). Hacking people’s answering machines was pretty easy. For youngsters, this was a device hooked up to your land line phone to give you voicemail. You could listen to your messages remotely by calling it and entering a password which was very short and limited to numbers. Some had to the capability to change the message that answered the phone. That made for lots of fun

Out of the Inner Circle covered this real well. It was a book printed in the early 80’s
