    Electric drum kit is fun, cathartic, and quiet outside your headphones. Chilis are easy to grow, and they certainly entertain the mouth. Running saved my life. Tennis balls from the machine launcher. Rock wall. Skateboard. People love pickleball, but you need friends. Darts. 3D printer. Electric piano. Cooking class you can meet a girl, cook for her, get back rubs. Singing lessons. Fetish exploration. You got this.

    That’s very little to go on, so my suggestively is reading.
    Very cheap to get into as well as something that’s is easy to pickup and let rest. Plenty of free options around too.

    What hobbies have you liked in the past or have sounded fun? That helps everyone pick a direction.

    Geocaching has been fun for me. Gardening but, I’ve gone full !nolawns@slrpnk.net lol, lately I’ve gotten into retro website building in NeoCities.org relearning HTML, CSS and Java script has been fun.

    If you have a PC checking the steam sales for cheap games is nice. I just finished my 3rd round of stardew valley.

    You can volunteer. If there’s a habitat for humanity near you you can even learn new skills.

    If you live in a city with a parks and recreation department, check out their website for classes and activities.

    If it’s a sport that requires equipment, such as racquets or bats, loaners are usually available from the department or other participants.

    You really won’t know what your mind and your body enjoys until you actually try it, so just YOLO random activities, but keep it safe of course. Avoid stuff like highrise roof edge parkour, and you’ll be okay.

    Badminton, swimming, jigsaw puzzles, blogging, video games, cooking and reading.

    These are the low barrier of entry stuff that keeps me going.

        Almost always outside.

        To me, it frequently gives me reasons to go explore lots of new places/parks/etc. And I treat it as “hiking with a goal” (although definitely not everyone does it that way). And I’ve found a lot of really interesting/cool geocaches that way.

        Also will do with my wife, family, friends, or solo. And have made friends that way. There’s ever regular meetups all over for the hobby.

        There tend to be a lot of geocaches hidden in places like parking lots and things to but I have less than zero interest in that. It has to be somewhere that I would enjoy going to in the first place.

        One was hidden in a book in a public library once (with the blessing of the library), which was pretty cool. Another I had to open a lock after solving a puzzle. Another was in a tree and you had to do something special to lower it down (which was super cool). Most I go to are just hidden in a nice place, though.
