Is there anything you're into that no one or basically nobody is into?

You're a very good person!
My mother's dog was a dog we gave "temporary" shelter to... Five years ago. She's 10 now and we couldn't be happier. She came to us from a very difficult home situation (her previous owner had just escaped from a violent marriage, and we think the dog might have been a victim too, but nobody was ever able to prove anything). She's still a little monster and she's still very afraid of everything, but there's no comparing how she was when we adopted her and how she is now.
I had an ex who lived somewhere where people often went to to abandon their dogs once they grew too old, too big or too aggressive. Her family also took in as many as they could: when we broke up, they had something along the lines of 10 dogs. It was very rewarding, too, as she got a good friend in each and every one of them. But it really hurts my heart to imagine that someone could be so cruel as to just abandon a dog like that, even hurt them.
Thank you! I'm about to pick him up from the groomer. They warned me they might have to shave him down so he could look pretty silly. Might have to get the little guy a coat or something.

Death metal. I’m pretty clean cut and tat free so people are really taken aback when I tell them one of my favorite acts is called Cattle Decapitation.
My husband doesn't have tattoos, but a beard. He loves all metal but definitely death metal.
There was a woman at my work, she was in the office side pretty high up. I always played my music, she soon found out I was (at least in part) a metal head. One time we found ourselves in a meeting room just a few of us, and shared she is massively a metal head, even citing death metal. I was so taken aback. She is highly professional always, and become the coolest lady in the office to me that day.
My dentist's favorite band is Led Zeppelin. My son asked, that answer surprised me too. For an older woman, close enough lol

I’m the only person I know IRL who uses lemmy (lol) and openstreetmap
I recently switched to CoMaps, performs so much better than OSMAnd on cheap hardware

I love listening to political music in languages I dont speak, I have music saved from 74 languages (so far).
Over the last few years, I've noticed a lot of music I listen too isn't in English. I like it so much. Though I probably don't have 74 languages, just scattered European ones. Europe has really good post punk/darkwave

Already tried. No community exists for my car. So I created one and tried to convince some redditors to join me and they basically gave me the finger (and then a mod deleted my post.) Gave up and abandoned the community. I don't want to waste time screaming into the void. There aren't enough 350Z owners on Lemmy to even get a basic conversation started.
Same reason why my radio station, [email protected] is failing before I've even launched it. There aren't enough DJs on Lemmy, so I have no staff, which means there's no one to play something on air. I've been reaching out via PMs to anyone I can find. It's been a 3 month search to no avail. I was supposed to launch yesterday.
Lemmy is just too small, plain and simple.
Lemmy has radio?

There's an Aztec city building game called Tlatoani. It's in early access, but has enough meat on the bone that it's one of my goto games.
Out of curiosity I checked Steam DB for active player numbers. I have discovered at any given point I am 10% to 25% of the given player base BY MYSELF. I am 1 of 4 people playing this game right now in the world. With the prevalence of the internet I always assume whatever weird bullshit you're into there's at least a thousand people talking about it; making memes outsiders could never comprehend. It's actually novel to fly under the radar for once.
What do you do that doesn't have a community associated with it?
Slinging. Like David and Goliath, but I’m better with the over the shoulder method than the spin it in circles method. Based on discord and other sites, there are dozens of slingers worldwide.

I do calligraphy. Sometimes i meet someone who knows someone who does calligraphy. But I've never met another person IRL that does calligraphy. And the particular style I like makes it even more rare.

I play single player video games and I roleplay and tell stories about my characters. I’ve done it with BG3, Elden Ring, Skyrim, Oblivion, Fire Emblem, and Pokemon. I take notes and write little stories for myself. I cultivate a little headcanon universe for each game, and I even let my roleplay alter my gameplay in meaningful ways. I don’t know if anyone else plays these games like this but I haven’t found much community for it.
I've tried to do this several times and usually get bored. Journaling RPGs on the other hand are loads of fun!

I really love Japanese jazz fusion. None of my friends understand my excitement about the EWI solos, they just say it sounds like Mario Kart music lol. I'm also into Buddhism, but dont have anyone else with this interest.
Do you know Jabberloop?

Please tell me more

I want to know more. Part of my job involves teaching lessons on climate change in schools. I have often wondered how I could incorporate games like Minecraft into this.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Edited a bunch in. Would be interested in your Minecraft thoughts after reading that. I don't immediately see that Minecraft specifically would be useful for climate change. I'm a climate scientist, but I haven't played the game... There are a few other games out there that do tackle climate change, some in useful and interesting ways.
Edit: some of the games I know:
- Daybreak by Matt Leacock et al.
- Hack the Planet
- there's heaps of solarpunk and climate games on itch.io, I havent tried many yet.

Woah. That sounds interesting. Care to elaborate?

If only you were an Arab or Chinese. I don't think calligraphy ever had mass appeal the same way in the West.
Damn. TIL

Skydiving. The number of people that sign up for the training is tiny and only about ten percent of them make it through ground school, all the tested jumps, the written test and the oral test to get licensed.
But, it is surprisingly addictive and fun.
It also is a small enough community that when I say my instructor died this summer, I bet that others funjumpers reading this knew him or of him.
I miss you Frog.
Tbh I don't think there's anything surprising about something so adrenaline-filled being addictive! Sounds like a really fun hobby.

I really like killing invasive plants. I think that's probably my most niche passion. Like when I have some free time I'll just go into the woods behind my house and cut down wisteria, ivy, Chinese holly.... I just find it extremely satisfying idk. I love the idea that I'm clearing out space for native plants (and in turn native animals) to grow.

As a native plant lover and invasive plant hater, I support this and please don't stop.

That's beautiful. I love the knurled bezel, and the blue dial. Does it have a texture to it? Yeah, I wouldn't mod a thing on that. Honestly, with the prices of Seikos these days, it's cheaper to just buy a Seiko movement and build something from scratch! Well, if we don't count the cost of tools.
It is textured, and catches the light in very interesting and beautiful ways. This one is the SRPC93 "Save the Ocean" Samurai, which has since been replaced by the SRPD23 "Great White".
They both use the same 4R35 movement, but I prefer the look of my dial

That’s really cool! Do you have an example of the calligraphy you like?

I make games that are a mix of physical and digital mediums. I found some other people doing similar stuff but nothing exactly the same. A lot of escape room creators use similar technologies though so I find myself talking to those people a lot.
These kinds of things are really cool! I love interactive fiction/games that have a real-life component.
Do you have any more information about your projects?

Dune was my go to scifi...now it's popular and I feel like a hipster.
My dad got me into hard scifi, d&d, Tolkien...if I feel like a hipster, can't imagine what he feels like.
